Review | Avon Super Shock Mascara

Mascara is probably one of my favourite beauty items. I always feel bare without it, and my makeup looks so much better with lashings of it. I have been lucky enough to be blessed with extremely long lashes, and I always get people asking me whether I'm wearing falsies or not. The answer is always no. I just use mascaras that I really like!

 

This is one of them. With mascaras, I very rarely buy the same one unless it is particularly outstanding. This is the second time I have used this mascara, and it is better than I remembered!

 

 

 

With mascara, packaging isn't really important to me. (although I'm not complaining about YSL's Shocking Mascara!) But I actually really like this tube. It is standard black with rose gold animal print; which does rub off after a while!

 

 

The brush on this mascara is huge! But that's one of the things I like about it. It is also very dry. If your preference is a wet mascara, then avoid this like the plague! It is possible the driest mascara I have ever come across, but that is how I like mascara. The wand is also plastic, but I like both plastic and bristled wands.

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, it makes my lashes look both longer and more vomlumised! Win win!

 

Have you ever tried it?

September Favourites

Seriously. How is it October already? Oh my god! Anyway, here are my September Favourites!

 



 

1. Chanel Vitalumier Foundation- When I bought this foundation, I knew I was only going to wear this on special occasions, because of the price tag, I really don't want to wear it on a day to day basis! This month, I have had a few chances to wear it, and because I haven't worn it for a while, I fell back in love with it! It makes my skin look so flawless and perfect, I just love it so much! Although it is one of the most expensive products I own, it is totally worth it!

RRP: £32

 

2. Rimmel London Mono Blush in Santa Rose- Last week, I did a review of this blush, you can read it here so I wont go into too much detail, but this blush is amazing! It is really pigmented, and a gorgeous colour and for the price, it is amazing value!

RRP: £3.99

 

3. Maybelline 24h Gel Eyeliner- Again, I have a review of this here and this isn't the first time it has been in a monthly favourites. This month, I have been wearing this eyeliner every single day. For school, I have been wearing just a bit of this on my eyes instead of my usual natural eyeshadow; which is saying something, as I was never much of an eyeliner wearer for everyday! But it is just so quick and easy and lasts all day!

RRP: £7.99

 

4. Urban Decay Naked Palette Colours in Sin, Toasted and Hustle-

 

 

Whenever I have been going out, I have been wearing a combination of these colours. I have used Sin all over my lid first, then Toasted in my crease and Hustle in my outer V. Purple tones really compliment my green eyes, and I think these colours look beautiful together.

RRP: £32

 

Here are some FOTD pictures of me wearing the makeup I have spoken about above:

 

 

 

5. Redken Colour Extend- I received this in a She Said Beauty Box, and never really thought that much of it. But since I had my hair ombred, I have been reaching for this every day. It makes my hair so soft and shiny and really intensifies the blonde in my hair.

Not sure of the price as this is a sample size.

 

6. Avon Super Shock Mascara- I have used this mascara before, and I was given this as a gift a few weeks ago and remembered how much I liked it. It gives me really full looking lashes, and has a really big brush. If you don't like dry mascaras though, I would stay clear, as it is very dry!

Again, not sure of the price as it was a gift

 

7. Soap and Glory Flake Away- As it is fall now, soft legs should be the least of my worries, but with Florida coming up, I am keeping them in good condition! I bought this mini size exfoliator as I have read really good reviews about it, and I can see why! It leaves my legs so soft, especially using my Victoria's Secret Body Oil afterwards!

RRP: £2.50
