Avon Mega Effects Mascara & More


Avon is one of them brands that's always been around me in my home for as long as I can remember. I feel like they have really come into their own recently and the quality of the products has really improved over the years. So when flicking through the latest brochure I was easily drawn to the new Mega Effects Mascara. I was a massive fan of the SuperExtend Extreme Mascara (which I still need to repurchase) so I thought I'd give this a whirl!

If I'm honest with you I wasn't sure what to expect with this mascara, it's so different from anything I have ever seen before on the mascara front. When it did arrive I had a bit of a struggle working out how to even remove the mascara wand from the product (I think that might of been me just being a little bit slow though!) What I will have to state straight from the off is that this mascara will need a little practise to get the best results for you - so don't test it when you're in a rush! I know there is some very mixed reviews lying around in the internet world but I do strongly believe it's down to a bit of practise, not first impressions. I find that the applicator really gets down to the lash line, unlike many other mascaras. The sizing of it is also quite intriguing, a brilliant size to stick in your handbag for those who like to travel light! On a whole I'd probably repurchase this.

Now one of the things that might of drawn me to this mascara was the free gift bag Avon were offering and a girl can't turn down free beauty products can she? Behold the free stuff I couldn't say no to..
Eyeshadow Brush with Smudger (no longer available)

My Top Pick:

This has now become my everyday eye primer. It's smooth and glides easily onto the eye lid. Really helps let my eye make-up last all day long, no touch ups whatsoever. Comes in the one shade of Light Beige. 
Swatched! Slightly darker than my skin tone but once worked into the skin you couldn't notice any difference at all!

What Avon products do you love or haven't you tried the brand out just yet?

    1. I have that same problem and want to buy everything there is, the sale catalogues that come usually dent my bank balance. I was a little confused at first but a little bit of practise goes a long way x

  6. I'm so intrigued by this mascara! I think I may have to purchase one just to see what it's like. I like Avon, they have some really good products. I'll probably give their eye primer a go when I use up my current one, I've been meaning to try it for a while.

    1. Would so recommend the eye primer, has a lovely creamy texture and holds my less pigmented drugstore eye shadows all day x
