Avon Super Extend Extreme Mascara

Happy Sunday everybody! How are you all doing? Today, I have an Avon mascara review for you all, and this is on the Super Extend Extreme Mascara in Black. I loved the Super Extend a lot so when I saw that they have an upgraded (?) version, I wanted to try it too. It's on a yellow packaging which is something new as they were always on black tubes. It contains 7g of product for P299. 

I love the yellow packaging!

This is a very black fiber mascara that lengthens the lashes really well. This is buildable if you want more dramatic lashes because the consistency of the product is thin, but may cause clumping if you don't wipe off the excess. The brush is just the right size so the application is even. Coating the lashes from roots to tips is easy since the bristles are short. However, it's a little thick and stiff so be careful not to poke your eyes. The wand is not very long, which allows you to have good control.

  

The fibers aren't much but really helps!

Avon Super Lash Extend Extreme Mascara Ingredients

The mascara doesn't only lengthen, but it also volumizes my lashes, which really makes me happy. My fiance' thought I was wearing falsies when I used this, and that is a very good compliment :). This is not waterproof but it doesn't budge, nor melt. One thing I dislike is smudging eye makeup! This lasts the whole day on me even when it's scorching hot, yet easy it's to remove. I don't always like wearing waterproof mascara as it dries up my lashes and breaks them, so having a non-waterproof mascara that doesn't smear is a great deal for me. It also does a decent job at holding my curl.

PROS:

• Lengthens and volumizes lashes 
• Long staying
• Consistency is thin easy to work with
• Doesn't smudge, budge, nor melt
• Affordable
• Buildable

CONS

• Bristles are thick and stiff 
• Can clump the lashes if you're not careful
• Doesn't separate the lashes perfectly

My verdict: 4 STARS!!! I have only used this mascara for 4 days, and my experience has been good. It's not perfect, yet I'm happy that I can rely on it to keep my eye area neat and clean all throughout the day. Avon mascaras are pretty good for their price from my experience. I have tried a lot over the past few years, and most of them performed well! This is a better version of the Super Extend Mascara so if you like that one, you will like this too. Although I prefer the super extend's brush more. 

So that concludes my review of the Avon Super Extend Extreme Mascara. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Review: Avon Extra Lasting Mascara

When I first saw this product on the catalog I knew I had to get this because I'm running out of my Avon Super Extend Mascara  which I really really love! This has 7grams of product and claims to last up to 18hrs! It's water proof, fade proof, smudge proof, and rub proof :D. Plus it provides 7 times volume to your lashes, now who wouldn't want that for a reasonable price, right?!

  

thin brush and short bristles 

The brush is thin which I really like because it's easy to work with. The bristles are short so it coats the lashes from the roots making it appear you have thicker lashes. There's a lot of space in between bristles though so it tends to clumps the lashes. The black shiny packaging with red metallic font is really pretty, and looks similar to the packaging of the Maybelline Long Extreme Stiletto which I plan to try soon as well.

I love that it's a very long lasting mascara and the brush is easy to work with. It makes my lashes stand out because it's very black, volumizes, holds a curl, and adds drama to the eyes. I was surprised how my lashes looked a lot thicker with only 2 coats. However, it appears rough and a little untidy if you look closer. The product is a little watery but dries up really fast so you have to apply the product carefully and quickly so you can build it up to avoid too much clumping.

What I don't like about it much is it's too difficult to remove. When they said smudge proof, they really meant it because it doesn't want to come off :D! This has an over powering smell which I still can't get over until now and may put off others too. I was also kind of disappointed when I first opened the mascara because there was a whole lot product on the wand that I couldn't put back on the tube anymore, and was very messy and a total waste.

Overall this mascara perform well and is true to what it claims. If you want a very long lasting waterproof mascara that holds a curl, volumizes, adds drama to the lashes, this is one to consider. My verdict: 4 STARS!!!

PROS:

• Super long lasting
• Smudge Proof
• Very black
• Volumizes
• Adds drama to the lashes :)

CONS:

• Can clump lashes
• Very difficult to remove
• Has a strong smell

I hope this review helps and if you have any questions, let me know :)

Review: Maybelline XXL Curl Power Mascara

I have used this product for 2 weeks now and I have to say that it's one of the mascaras that I can really depend on. It's a curl + volume + length microfiber washable mascara in black (also available in waterproof). It claims to be ophthalmologist tested and contact lens safe. 

Base Coat

Top Coat

It's a 2 step mascara which starts with the base coat to curl the lashes and a black top coat which  provides 12-hour hold. For best results, apply the base coat evenly and add the top coat before it dries up to prevent clumping of the lashes. You can build the it up for a more defined and dramatic eyes. The brush helps to evenly coat the lashes and spread them out for a fuller look. I applied 3 coats on this photo to add more volume to my lashes. 

After 6 hours

The curl was still in place when I got home after 6hrs and it didn't smudge or flake. You can seldom find a washable mascara that holds a curl for a long time so I'm really impressed with this product. Cleaning is really very easy using olive oil as a makeup remover. It's a perfect mascara if you are looking for a product to lengthen, volumize, and curl your lashes for long hours. Although the wand is really short so it's not very easy to work with. I poke my eyes a few times using this but I'm now more careful :D.

PROS:

Base Coat is moisturizing

Easy to remove

Doesn't flake, smudge, or clump

No strong odor

Easy on the eyes

Holds a curl for long hours

CONS:

The brush wand was so short making the application a challenge

My verdict: 4.8 STARS

Would I repurchase? Yes

Would I recommend? Yes

Overall I love this mascara and it's one of my favorites. The 2 step application takes time though so it's not a mascara that I would grab for when I am pressed for time. 

Avon Super Extend Mascara Swatches and Review

Mascara is one of the makeup products that I like using a lot because it makes a difference on my look. My face looks more awake and fresh when I have it on and I tend to love Avon's mascaras. This one I think retails at P420 if I still remember it right. I got it a week ago and I have constantly been using this.

Avon Super Extend Mascara

What I love about this particular mascara is it's wand. It has short bristles which makes it easy for me to coat all my lashes. I don't like huge brushes on mascaras because I tend to poke my eyes when I apply it in a hurry. If you check the photo above, the bristles evenly spaced so the application is easy and does not clump my lashes.

The photos above show how the mascara makes a difference on my lashes. My left eye has mascara on and you can see how my eye opened up and looked fresh compared to my right eye. It does make it look longer and a little thicker. It doesn't hold a curl though because it's not waterproof so if you are looking for a mascara that can hold a curl, this is not it. That's alright for me though because this isn't a curling mascara after all.

I have thin lashes but doesn't show on my photo above. The mascara really helped brighten my eye and made me look more awake. I love that it's very black and doesn't melt. I have a few Avon mascaras already and I think this is the one I like best. Although I think I can get a better mascara for the price. One thing I don't like much about it is it's a little watery. it would have been amazing if the formula was a little thicker. 

PROS:

Doesn't melt/smudge

Great wand

Doesn't clump lashes

CONS:

Price (A little expensive vs the quality)

Watery formulation

Anyway the product works and I give it 4 STARS!!!

Avon One Great Mascara Swatches and Review

Hello everyone! How have you been doing?! I was a little busy lately so I wasn't able to post another review. The product I am reviewing right now is the Avon One Great Mascara. I wanted to try this because it says it's an all in one mascara that can lengthen, curl, and add volume to the lashes and I was so excited to play with it and see how I'd like it.

Avon One Great Mascara

I got this in brown and this is a waterproof mascara that should last for 16hrs. I got it in brown because I want to wear a more subtle look sometimes and a brown mascara will make the makeup look more natural.

Avon One Great Mascara Brush

I like the wand because it's sturdy and not too long making application easy. There's a little space in between the bristles of the brush and it coats every single lashes evenly. If you check out the photos below, you'll see how it made a big difference on my eyes. It opened up my eyes and it really made it look longer and appear like I have more lashes which is really great!

However, there is a but... The product is a little dry. I'm not sure if I only got a bad product but I was bit disappointed. I had to apply 3 coats until I was happy with how it looks because it didn't stick to my lashes too well. Probably the fibers are making it dry, I don't know, but I have used other volumizing mascara brands like my Loreal mascaras and they are not as dry as this one. If the consistency isn't this dry, this could indeed be one great mascara as it says it is.

I'll keep using this mascara and see if it's going to get better. I love it but it's not easy to use as I need to spend a lot more time applying it on my lashes. Not very ideal if you are in a hurry. Overall this product is good as you see on the picture. It does it's job well and I give it 4 STARS! Hope this review is helpful! :D
