The new Mega Effects mascara from Avon does not disappoint! It boasts a gorgeous new applicator which hasn't been seen anywhere else in the industry. It has a certain likeness to a paintbrush which is not only funky and fun - it's extremely effective too!
The packaging is glamorous and sleek in pink and black and when you pop off the top - voila! - the amazing applicator is revealed.
The applicator is easy to use and if you find it challenging, there is a package insert which shows a simple step-by-step way to use it best. It gets to the corners of the lashes and coats the lash from root to tip.
The colour - blackest black - is just that! It's the darkest of the dark, which is what I look for in mascara in order to make my brown eyes more pronounced.
I had absolutely zero flaking in the 24-hour period I had used it in. It really holds it's own until you remove it with eye makeup remover which is amazing since I had no raccoon streaks after sleeping with it on neither did I have them on my pillow. Amazing staying power which makes me feel invincible all day long!
I am thrilled to have been one of the first ladies to try this product and in my opinion, you won't go wrong if you purchase this product TODAY!
I know, I know - it looks scary. But it's not, I promise. It's actually pretty darn cool! When I opened my mascara, the first thing I thought was along the lines of "it's actually quite cute and dainty!". To me, the marketing photos made it look really intimidating, but it's not really. For perspective, I photographed the little paddle alongside a lipstick tube to show its size. Now, I know - that applicator brush looks unlike anything you've ever seen before! Where/how do you even use it? I've also photographed the Avon Mega Effects brush next to an ordinary, run-of-the-mill mascara brush. See how it's basically the same - the applicator brush is just on the end of a paddle instead of a wand. The Avon brush has spikey plastic bristles. The mascara comes with a convenient package insert that shows you exactly what to do, so don't worry - you don't need to figure it out on your own! The applicator also has the nifty trick of being able to bend, so you can change the angle to whatever is the most comfortable for you. What does this mean for your mascara application? Well, firstly, you're approaching your lashes from a different angle. Secondly, the bendable applicator means that you can get right underneath the lashes to coat even the base of the hairs. Basically, by "stamping" mascara at the roots of the lashes, you add the appearance of volume without having to get your lashes all clumpy. I love this, because (a) I have rather sparse lashes and (b) I absolutely hate when the few lashes I do have clump together, making it look like I have 4 lashes like a cartoon character. As for how the mascara looks on: this will obviously depend from woman to woman. Like I said, I have rather sparse lashes that are in need of volume. They are rather long, but since the tips of my lashes are blonde, I need a mascara to make them visible. So basically, what I want from a mascara is to make my lashes defined without clumping or migrating all over my face. (The worst, amiright?) For me, this mascara ticks all the boxes. It stays put on your lashes all day without making them too stiff or crunchy. It provides decent definition and volume without clumping. The unique applicator is easy to use and the change in the way you approach the lashes to apply mascara means that you can get right down to the base of your eyelashes. And, being a bit gadgety, it made using the product a really enjoyable experience!

Wow! a mascara with an Ergonomic Brush which bends for comfort and the cute brush fits the shape of my lashes perfectly. this Mega effects Avon Mascara is clump proof, laughter tear proof! and non smudging. it took 2 of us to work out how to get the brush out the first time now so easy just love the packaging and smallness of this product. it lasta on my lashes all day . removel has to be done with a crème cleanser as I found my normal liquid eye make up remover would not remove it effectively will definitely keep using this product
Wow! Thanks Beauty Bulletin and Avon. Received my mascara three days ago. I was a bit sceptical when I opened it and saw the shape of the container and tried to figure out how to use it. It was quite messy at first and I had to clean my face and resort to my existing mascara as I was running out of time. I tried it in the evening and fared a lot better and the next morning it was much easier and for the third time this morning I was a "professional" Practice makes perfect. I love it. I don't have the longest of lashes, but this mascara made them look naturally long and I did not have any clumps like some of the reviews I have read. One of my work mates even commented on it this morning. Avon Mega Effects will definitely be on my shopping list from now onwards. :-)
I absolutely adore Avon Mega Effects Mascara. It comes in a quirky yet fun looking bottle; the applicator brush is like a paint brush. It defines and coats my lashes without any smudges.
I must say I did not have much hope for this product purely because I have never really found an awesome mascara that actually does what it advertises. When I received the Avon Mega Effects Mascara I was eager to try it out (after first trying to figure out how to use it). I do love the packaging, it looks real expensive and sophisticated. The thing I love about this product is that it does not take very long to apply because of the wide applicator so you pretty much do all your lashes at once. There is absolutely no cluping, glides on easily and does lenghen the lashes which is always the one thing that I look for. I am not sure about curling or volume as I don't have a problem with this in my own lashes but as far as length goes, here is a winner

The Look: When I received the Avon Mega Effects Mascara the first thing I judged was the packaging. It definitely caught my attention as the shape of the mascara is not like any other product I have seen before. I loved the size as it is small enough to carry around and fit in any makeup bag or pocket. I loved the colour as it was bright pink, which made me think it was youthful, fun and exciting.
Pro’s: The interesting shape of the brush allowed me to shape my lashes and thicken/lengthen them a lot easier than most brushes, I had more control over the brush. The mascara lasts the entire day and does not fall off the lashes and create little black spots on your eyes. I also liked the way I could almost use it as a lash curler because of the shape and strength of the brush. I loved the hinge handle so that you may adjust the angle of the brush according to your liking!
Cons: I cannot find any cons about this product except the fact that the brush did scare me a little when I first saw it. As soon as I used it I was completely in love with the product!
Recommendation: I highly recommend this product. It is different, and allows more creativity and control than most mascara’s.
When I first received the Avon Mega Effects Mascara I was quite skeptical. I thought 'What. are. they. trying. to. do?' The shape is odd and the brush was scary looking to be honest. I was not convinced that this mascara was anything special. But...after using it the first time, I was hooked! The compact size is perfect for my make up bag. The unique brush works like magic! It coats each lash and separates them perfectly. I have really long lashes and I always struggle with conventional mascara wands, whilst trying to apply mascara I somehow always end up with mascara blotches all over my eyes. With Avon's Mega Effects I could apply the mascara perfectly. It was so refreshing! What a fantastic product, well done Avon. You have won me over!
Avon has truly out done itself when it comes to Mascara. My makeup essential is mascara and when I saw this strange applicator at the reasonable intro price, I ordered it. Its a rat here one-on-one experience when applying it. No mess application especially ideal for those who don't have a sturdy hand like myself. Such a max effect for lashes which has my friends actually fooled to think I have long thick lashes. It has to be one of the best mascara's on the market now! It should just be made available to purchase in stores!
Mega Effects Mascara is awesome it does its job in one easy step no mess no fuss. i simply love it. its easy to apply in one easy step. My lashes as 10 time the volume it as ever had.
One cannot help but be sceptical when they look at the new Avon Mega Effects Mascara. The flat shaped ‘tube’ looks nothing like other mascaras on the market and the actual mascara applicator is, well…a bit shocking.
Fortunately, the Avon Mega Effects Mascara comes with step by step instructions on how to do everything – from opening the mascara, application and placing the comb back into the tube.
As with any other mascara, you need to have a steady hand to carefully and neatly apply the mascara. After the first ‘’comb-through’’ I was amazed at the instant results I saw. My eyelash was longer and fuller after one coat of the mascara.
Also, it was very quick drying and so, did not smudge too much around my eye area. The bit that did smudge, I easily dabbed off with wet tissue.
This is an exciting mascara that I will definitely be using again.
Firstly I have to comment on the packaging... PRETTY! I love the pink and the black. I was also very surprised to see how small this mascara is... I was under the impression it was a lot bigger. The small size makes this mascara perfect to pop into your bag. Even though the 'tube' is so tiny, it still holds an impressive 9ml of product. The design of the wand is great as it feels very comfortable in my hand, even if it was a bit strange at first. I love the bristles, they really do reach every single lash. Because the angle can by adjusted, it is possible that anyone can get the ideal and most comfortable angle for perfect application. The tube also seals perfectly, so I think the chances of your mascara drying out is very slim. The cap also seals very well.
On to the formula. Here is unfortunately were the product fell a bit short for me. The mascara is very wet. This makes it a bit difficult for me to build the volume that I want. It is possible to add another coat or two, but you have to give it a chance to dry first. It still didn't give me the volume that I was expecting... I like a lot of volume. It did give me some length, that was a plus. When you remove the applicator from the tube, there is a lot of product on it and this made it a bit difficult to use. Whilst trying to reach the base of my lashes, I completely messed up my lash line as the mascara got onto my eyelid. If I blot the wand on some tissue paper to remove most of the product before I use it, application is easier and a lot less messy. This is a negative, as I want to use all my product and not toss it in the bin with the tissue.
All in all, this mascara gave me length and some volume and it is a pleasure to use the applicator. The bristles do a great job at separating my lashes (if I remove some product from the wand beforehand) and reaching every single lash. Because of the applicator, I would maybe consider purchasing this product for myself, but if Avon brings this out with a 'drier' formula, I would place my order without hesitation.
Absolutely love this product. Normally I find mascara hard to use, and the fact that you can even bend the applicator to suit your eyelashes is amazing. Did not clump and dried very quickly. It lengthened lashes perfectly. Also, to get more mascara on to the brush all you need to do is squeeze the base gently (the black part). Will be buying this in future!! Unsure of the price.. but I am sure it will be worth it :)
Personally I cannot imagine my life without mascara, so testing a new one is always great fun! First impression - super unusual design! It looks much smaller than normal mascara packages, but it has the same volume of product. Easy to open and close. Very securely closed. Pulling the brush out requires a bit of a tug which makes me worried about splashes of mascara all over, but so far I have not noticed any mascara getting out. At first glance I thought that I will dig my eyes out with the brush since it looks very similar to a painting brush, but no... it is very easy to maneuver in your hand and puts on just as well as traditionally designed mascara brushes. I like that the brush has an adjustable bending elbow, which helps a lot for being able to see more accurately where you are with the tip of the brush. There are no fall outs or smudges after a whole day of wear and it is clump free which is an added bonus. Easy to remove with makeup remover (most of it can even be washed out with water - and I like that, so that when I get out of shower I don't look like a raccoon). I only had a few days to test it out, but it already made a positive impression on me. Job Well DONE to the developing team of Avon!
I call this the mini mega effective mascara fits perfectly in my small bag very effective, every time i use it i look like i have added lashes on,,with this one no need for me to add lashes, i don't like to anyway. easy to use, i just did not like that my lashes felt so hard and heavy
I couldn't contain my excitement when I finally received the new Avon Mega Effects mascara! I must say that I really like the packaging especially the bright pink top part. It's simply gorgeous! When I tried to get the applicator out I found it to be a bit tricky but when I finally did it was in the shape of a paintbrush! How nifty is that! Really different to what I am normally used to from a mascara applicator but I didn't mind it at all! I was really excited to try it. It was really easy to apply and managed to coat my lashes really well plus give them easy separation and definition without clumping. Very important for a mascara if you ask me! My eyes were suddenly awakened!the mascara was aslo really e
I was really excited to be chosen to review this product as I've been awaiting its launch for the last couple of months.
Aside from the fact that it totally does not fit the description of mascara it turns out to be the most interesting and of course unusual one I’ve ever used. It does take some time & effort to get used to using the brush and you need some patience to apply multiple layers of mascara but all & all a great product. Another plus for me is that it’s ophthalmologist-tested. I would most certainly be buying Mega Effects from Avon from now on!
This is a super super product! The wonderful unique comb brush lets you grab every last single lash and coats it so well. I must say that this mascara gave my lashes a great length and volume. I tried the blackest black and gave my lashes a super dark black look which i love!
The comb brush is a little tricky to use at first but it does get easier. I didnt get any clumps which i am thrilled about because i like applying mascara twice!
Overall this is a super product, easy to use once you get the hang of it and it lasts all day and is not difficult to remove with makeup remover.
Thank you Beauty Bulletin for giving me the chance to try this product :D
When I first received this product I had my doubts - how can this brush be as easy or effective as a normal mascara brush? But I tried it none the less and I was so surprised at how much faster the application process is, once you know exactly how to apply it using the new brush. The formula is also simply amazing, no smudging or running when it gets wet, but still quite easy to wash off using face wash. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a long-lasting mascara and actually even just for anyone! Great product!
I was thrilled to be selected to trial this new offering by Avon. I've never been more confused on how to use a mascara quite like this one. When I took it out the box I think my first words were "wow".
I immediately grabbed the instructional pamphlet for directions as I knew it wouldn't be easy and I was right. Firstly it takes alot of practising to perfect. Avon have literally reinvented the wheel with this so you need to forget what you know about mascara and start from scratch.
Holding the brush felt weird because its flat. Then there's the application which is tricky. It almost feels like you have a paint brush in your hand and you painting your lashes. When I finished my lashes the effect wasn't great. I had smudges all over but you know, practice makes perfect.
After a week of trial and error, I think I've mastered the application. I have to say, I do prefer mascaras that have these bristle brushes like this Avon one as it works well for my lashes.
I will keep on persevering until I have 100% perfected and conquered this mascara.
Ok so I'm usually scared of mascaras because usually clump up in the bottle or on my lashes. Now as a spectacle wearing lass its hard to find one that doesn't streak on your glasses!This mascara actually stayed on my lashes without giving me the tiger effect on my lenses.I love the applicator its easy to use and you can hold a mirror with the other hand instead of trying to pry your eyelids open!I highly recommend this product its small and compact and yoy will have long beautiful healthy looking lashes in 2 easy steps!!
I must admit I was quite baffled when I first saw the product and had to read the instruction pamphlet as to 1. How to get the mascara 'brush' out and 2. how to use it.
Putting this mascara on was a mission! I don't really like it. Maybe I'm just challenged with this ergonomic brush and have to confess, I still prefer the normal, old fashion mascara wand.
I kept poking the brush into my eye, as I just couldn't judge where to start using it from and then kept smudging the mascara all over, it splattered as I blinked.
On the plus side, it does last long and look great. It comes off quite easily in the shower.
I'm not wholly a convert yet, but I guess practice makes perfect and who knows maybe in time, I will get up to date and prefer this ergonomic brush to the good old fashioned wand.
Girls believe, this mascara does make your lashes look bigger, fuller having an overall effect on eyes. Love it. Application is easy but it was removing the brush from the holder that proved a little difficult. I will advise anyone with dull, fine, thin lashes to invest in this product.
Great new product! Cool packaging and idea. This is such a nice new way to present mascara in. I like the product very much. It is just a little bit difficult to get the same results as with an ordinary mascara applicator, I keep on getting mascara on my skin just below my eyebrows, but the more I use it the better I get!
Ok so I recently received this Mascara from Beauty Bulletin to test out and was a bit confused when I opened the box. It's not the usual Mascara and looks very different... I was very excited to try it out though! So I tried it out and I was quite impressed at the way it applied so smoothly! Clump free (YAY!) Although the only problem I had was that it sort of messed my eyelids a bit but I'm a very messy person when it comes to applying Mascara so I think that was my fault. It came off from my eyelids easily with a wet earbud though so that was cool, although I had to reapply my eyeshadow. I applied it in the morning and got home late that night and it looked as if I'd just applied it! I found that really awesome... All in all I really love this and will definitely be buying this as soon as I run out. Yet another awesome product by Avon
Firstly, this mascara is super cute. It just makes you want to reach for it. Obviously the brush is the key feature as it is very different from your normal mascara brush. I really like the change. With a normal brush I usually battle to get to the very base of my lashes to start building up volume from the root.The Mega Effects mascara, however, is designed in such a way that you get right in between the lashes which I really like. I also love that it manages to separate the lashes coating each one individually. My only dislike would be that it is hard to control the brush in such a way that I don't get any mascara on the lid. I am not sure if I am just not used to it yet or if the brush is a little too big but I usually get a small smudge near the lashes.
The colour is a nice saturated black and looks great. The packaging is quite practical and easy to carry. There seems to be a lot of product in the tube.
Do I recommend to try it out? Definitely yes! The price is great (R99.95 in the current Avon brochure) and the chances are that you will fall in love with the brush.
If you are looking where to get it in Joburg, you can get it from me too on 0765911318. After being sent a few Avon products via this site, I was reminded how nice their products are and became a rep :) but my reviews are still totally unbiased, you can rest assured!
small, slender and quiet compact perfect for a small make up bag,Ophthalmologist tested, pefect for sensitive eyes, most impotantly it gives you smudge free, 24 hour long lasting lashes thats volumised and make my small eyes appear wider.Brush bends for comfort and control, fits the natural shape of the lashes Great product!
I was also very excited to try this enticing new "mascara application system" from Avon, but I was a little let down at first. It took me a while to get the application right. In the beginning it was awkward and I couldn't get the bristles to stop poking me in the eye-ball. Once I had practiced a few times and figured out how to hold it properly, this adorable little package has become a favourite of mine.
This AVON MEGA EFFECTS MASCARA is one of the best mascaras I've found ! So, my eyelashes are basically non-existent ( this is not at exaggeration ). I never ever used to wear any mascara as i never saw the point in doing so if it makes no difference with their empty promises of 'lengthening' & 'volumising'. Until i was introduced to AVON MEGA EFFECTS - it actually fulfills its promise.
My mom received this mascara to review and I just wanted to give it a sneaky try. I didn't know much about the mascara and on the tube it just says "Mega Effects" so I don't really know if it is meant for lengthening or voluminous lashes but here is what I thought:
Firstly I love the new applicator it was really easy to use and nice to try something different I also found that it was mess free!
I also liked the fact that it CLICKS closed so you can really know that it is airtight so no drying out.
I found that it is a very basic coating on my lashed - no extra lengthening or voluminous lashes so it is perfect for every day.
I have to admit, I was a bit taken aback when I saw how small the tube was. I own a lot of different mascaras and this is by far the smallest and bulkiest tube I own. That being said, it is still very easy to just pop into may makeup bag because it takes up so little space.
Then, the reason everyone waited eagerly for this mascara, the brush. When you take of the cap of the mascara, it kinda looks like a paintbrush in a paint bucket. Very different to the usual mascara wands. The wand pops out of the tube with ease and reveals the very unique wand. At first, it was extremely difficult to use, but since mascara wands come in all shapes and sizes, I wasn't too intimidated. It was very easy to get to every single lash with this wand.
The mascara itself is a very, very wet formula and takes a while to dry. Because of this, it can be said that this mascara is very messy. For me, however, the mascara was not extremely messy. Of course it ran a little the first time I applied it, but practice makes perfect, right? I loved the way the mascara made my lashes look. I have fairly non-existent lashes and this mascara added extra volume, length and colour. I loved how thick my lashes looked. Because the mascara is so wet, it did tend to clump a little, but I corrected that by using a hold mascara want (Covergirl Clump Crusher) I keep around. This help spread the lashes and left my eye lashes looking extremely full and dramatic.
A side note: it did sting my eyes the first time I used it. But after that, it did not sting my eyes again.
Of all the mascaras I own, this one is one of the wettest, but despite that, it works wonders on my lashes. A great win in my book.

I was so excited to be selected to try the new Avon Mega Effects Mascara as I am a complete sucker for anything new and gimmicky in the make-up department!
Instead of the traditional mascara wand that we are used to, Avon has made use of a mini "paintbrush' for the lashes. The packaging is very attractive and has a nice compact shape so is easy to carry around in your make-up bag.
To remove the brush from the packaging you have to grip it and rock it from side to side. (Sounds simple but I really struggled the first time). The brush comes out coated with a generous amount of mascara. The handle of the brush is adjustable so you can play around to find out what angle works best for you. I found that the best way for me to apply this is for me to sit at a height where I can rest my elbow on my dressing table and then apply with a steady hand. Hopefully as I get used to this applicator it won't be necessary any more.
This is a VERY wet formulation mascara so you have to be extra careful when you apply it. I haven't managed to apply it yet without having to do a bit of a clean up afterwards. So the first few times you use it you might want to do it when you have a bit of extra time on your hands!
The colour is a very dark glossy black, which I love, and I found that one application coats my lashes well. I think for daytime one coat is sufficient for me, but at night I will probably try apply two coats for extra emphasis.
I was quite intrigued by the new brush and found it very easy to use. It's actually easier to use than the normal spoolie-type brush. I received Blackest Black, which suits my brunette lashes. :) The consistency is very wet, which makes it easier for the lashes to "grab" the mascara, one coat is all you need, and I even saw a girl on Youtube do 2 to 3 coats to look like false lashes. One thing I found VERY useful, is that it does not flake. Because of my contacts, I don't wear mascara often, as the flakes irritate my eyes. This is one of the first mascaras I could wear the WHOLE day, and it did not even feel as though I wore anything on my eyes. For someone who gets tired of make-up very quickly, this was a plus point. It's a pity that it contains parabens, and that it only lasts 3 months like your average mascara. If it contained more safe ingredients, I would DEFINITELY purchase it. For those ladies who don't mind make-up ingredients, you won't be disappointed by this! Quick summary of PROS and CONS: PROS Does not flake AT ALL Only one coat neede, and it coats the WHOLE lash Lasts long Easy to use brush Such a cute container! Does not smudge easily
CONS Difficult to remove Lasts only 3 months (like other mascaras)
I was really chuffed when I received this product to review and I thought it would be super awesome and different. Honestly, this new design and stuff didn't really make much of a difference to me. I found the formula clumpy also. I managed to paint parts of my upper eyelid as well. I think I will just stick to regular wands, thank you very much. Too much complexity for something as simple as eyelashes, no man.
I am going to give this product a fairly good rating overall, as it ticks most of the right boxes for me, but let’s just say I have mixed feelings about it. This is not to say that my personal view of the product is negative either, but just my impression of what it would do, given all the hype around it. Maybe it is just inexperience with the new wand styling in the one week that I have had to experiment with it, but I am just not seeing the “Mega Effects” factor I was expecting.
If I start with the packaging, I am happy with the attention to detail as it is in a box and the colour scheme is black, white and pink. It is fairly sophisticated and has an insert of well written instructions. The tube is different in that it is more rectangular than cylindrical but it is compact and leak proof. Then there is the showstopper, revolutionary wand which is adjustable to make application a bit more comfortable. This for me is still the tricky bit. Holding the wand in front of my eye, blocks my vision of where exactly I am applying the mascara and I do not always get it spot on.
The mascara itself spreads easily coating each lash individually and dries really fast. It also does not clump or flake going the entire day smudge free. It helps open my eye area a bit more but does not make my eyes pop. The fairly natural look that it imparts to my eyelashes suits my makeup style perfectly as I am not one for daring bold lashes and I am incredibly thrilled by the results. But there isn’t the WOW factor that most other ladies will be after so maybe it’s just the advertising or that I chose to only use one coat on my upper lid. Doing this I see the product lasting a really long time.
Don’t get me wrong, I am impressed with the whole package, but those who are after something more dramatic may be disappointed. So I would recommend it to ladies who are after a more conservative look.
Avon Mega effects Mascara For all the mascara lovers. I have been using the mascara for the past week, and I found the product to have pros and cons. It comes in very attractive packaging, pink and black in colour and contains 9mls of liquid mascara.
I was extremely excited to start using the product as I found it to be "cute". the wand looks like a toy paintbrush or a homemade lolly pop ice-cream. It has a 3-4cm moveable handle , which was created for comfort and steadiness while apply your coat of mascara. Although I think it was a brilliant and innovated creation, I personally found it quite difficult to apply.
After about 3 uses I got the hang of it, and started liking the product. It is a different design and could take a few applications to finally find your comfort with the wand. As for the liquid content, its the blackest black, its not waterproof which I prefer, and it doesn't clump, nor flake off.
Overall I would rate it a 4 stars for price, quality, effectiveness, and for innovation. I would recommend the product, it is definitely worth trying. Personally I prefer a longer wand, as I feel I have more control. but again its worth trying.
NEW Avon Mega Effects Mascara! I was so excited to try the product due to its unique and alluring packaging. I did find it difficult to use compared to other mascaras that I'm used to, although after practice it worked very well and helped curve my lashes, make them more defined and gave them length. It does mess a bit due the the content having a more wet texture but that also helps it last longer than other mascaras. To summarise: Pro's: - Unique, alluring packaging - Creates defined, curved, longer lashes - Lasts long - Good price
I was so excited to be selected to review this beauty product. This is my first review, so I was a little nervous but excited at the same time!
When I received the box and pulled out the pink mascara, I knew I was going to have fun with it! However, it took me a while to work out how to open it, and I spent almost an hour trying to pull it out. I then decided to read the instructions and found it to be quite simple: You just need to grip and rock it side-to-side for it to come out. I felt like a kid on christmas morning when I finally pulled it out!
So, the actual mascara itself was amazing! I loved how you could adjust and bend the handle... It made it so much more easier to apply. The brushes are also pointing in many different directions which gives your eyelashes that "black, blackest" look. At first I didn't think too much of it and walked out to watch tv with my boyfriend. He had a good look at me and said that my eyes looked like they were glistening.... Which meant this mascara did its job ;)
I went to the bathroom and had a proper look. My lashes were dark black, and were curved up, bringing out my blue eyes, just like a supermodel's!
Thank you so much Beauty Bulletin for giving me this opportunity, and well done AVON on such an innovative product! I cannot wait to review the next one!
As soon as I received my mascara, I opened it and tried it, wow what a mess. The brush applies a lot of product, I blinked and my face was black. Like they say practice makes perfect, I am now better at applying it and it's awesome. Longer, darker, awesome lashes.
I was very excited to try out this mascara, its nothing I have ever seen before. Once I had researched about it and learnt how to use it I put it to the test.
Pros: 1 easy to use, love the way the it bends to the desired angle to apply from root to tip. 2 gives my lashes a complete cover. 3 I thought it would make my eyelashes clumpy and it did the complete opposite, made them look full. 4. Love the packaging, love that it "locks" it and has a cap over it. means it wont go dry or leak in the heat.
Cons: 1. didnt give as much volume as I hoped. 2. people who dont like something going from the front of the eye might get freaked out as your hand does go infront of the eyes.
Overall its a great Mascara for daytime, I would wear one of Avons more volumising mascara for the evening.

The design: At first I thought, “What a STRANGE design” and it initially made me a bit anxious to use. I have to admit, once I started using it, I love the applicator immediately and it has a very unique design. I think it is quite innovative.
The formula: I only needed to apply one coat and it gave me beautifully full and thick eyelashes making bringing my eyes out more. I really loved the sexy and giving me a dramatic look it gave me for my night out. Now just imagined I had to apply a second coat… Also, it didn’t smudge at all. Although I was a bit messy because I was nervous using the brush at first. My mascara also lasted the entire night (It really did, I actually applied my make-up just before 8 the evening and I got home at 9am the next morning and still had my mascara intact).
My Verdict: My eyes looked bigger and dramatic. For any mascara addict, this is definitely worth trying and using. I simply love the AVON Mega Effects Mascara!!!!

I was very exited to receive a funny looking black & shocking pink wide, rectangular tube. I rushed to try and open it but had no idea how to... just then I knew this was going to be a game changer! After reading the instructions and rocking the brush out of the tube i was skeptical about the brush and had flashes of mascara getting everywhere. Because of the wide brush, I also thought it will be difficult to handle... this was however not the case!
The brush handled like a dream. The handle is nice & short allowing for precision and also adjustable so it makes it easy to maneuver around the tricky small lashes.
The mascara did not go everywhere as I initially feared. Nothing smeared through onto my lids. I was astounded. It worked. It changed how I thought about mascara and truthfully... I thought to myself... why has no one ever thought of this before.
The fact that you apply the mascara from the front of your face and not with your hand next to it allows you to apply the mascara the same way on both eyes without having to do funny twisting of wrists and flipping of wands. Love it.
There is however one little drawback.... the formula is not as thickening and as lengthening as I would have liked. I however added 2-3 layers and it worked amazingly. It did not smudge and I partied till the next morning without the dreaded raccoon eye.
A word of caution though... it burns like a MOFO if you get it in your eye. This was a lapse of concentration on my part. Your eye will tear up very badly.... which is also why I know it does not smudge easily. ;-)
All & all, I will surely buy this again! I am a mascara whore and try them all. It will be a great honour for any product to grace my make up bag more than once, and this has made the list.
The Avon Mega Effects mascara is like nothing you have ever seen. The packaging and wand took me completely by surprise.It took me a while to figure out how to even remove the wand and it is not as simple as a twist and wiggle. At first sight I thought, how on earth am I supposed to use this?! I do love the little wipers that the wand comes out of which remove excess for you quite effectively. The wand has an adjustable handle for ease of use, which bends anyway you wish however I found that bending the handle or not didn't make any difference to application for me.The mascara is tricky at first mostly because we are accustomed to a regular long wand. The first few tries I did get product onto my lids but soon realised you have to apply slowly and not rush through. It is probably the tiny bristles on the side that get onto your lid if you are hasty. As you can see in the pictures, my eyelashes are long but they are straight and need curl. The mascara did a good job of curling for me. It also thickened, dried fast and stayed put. The mascara is not water proof but is definitely smudge proof, I wore it on a 45min walk on a sunny day and even though the rest of my face was shiny the mascara stayed perfectly.This mascara has grown on me! I do enjoy using it now and love that the wand sort of combs my lashes. Some people may still prefer the regular wand to this though.
