My oh my was I indeed excited to try this out. There has been such a buzz about this it makes every women so curious about it.
Avon's mega effects mascara that not only provides for 24 hour volume, but makes your lashes more darker, lustrous and dramatic than ever before. A sure winner wouldn't you say?
Now lets talk about it, the brush is able to bend and adjust to angles which will capture every lash and goes deep down to ensure mascara is applied for root to tip. The brush fits perfect to the lashes and evenly coats them from the root to the tip. And also the handle is able to adjust so it will be easier to use. Also they say the brush is able to provide 40% more mascara to the lashes, I will let you decide as everyones lashes and eye shape differ. I have some Avon pics to indicate more on this.
The mascara is wet so it might take abit to dry and one can apply another coat if desired.
Mega Effetcs mascara is certainly NOT a disappointment,it is easily removed with a cleanser, it is clump proof, it does not flake and will give you a non smudge effect. And for me it is poke proof. Yay

I'm loving this mascara!!I have sensitive eyes and have tried various brands of mascaras and to be honest I was very skeptical about Avon!
It has surprised me in many ways, firstly I opened the mascara and I have to admit, at first it took a little getting used to but by the second use it was fine! I love the deep shade of Black that outlined my eyes very nicely, it did not clump even though I put on a second application(for more effect). It stayed the entire day and mind you considering the rain lately, it did well!
It also grabs even the smallest eyelashes, even though it doesn't feel that way. The price is reasonable and fairly easy to obtain because you order via an Avon representative. So you getting it delivered to you!! I think its good value! I suggest you ladies keep the brushes when the mascara is finished because it combs the eyebrows very nicely!

I have tried so many mascaras... very excited upon purchase... very disappointed at first use. The Mega Effects Mascara is not that kind of purchase! I've used it this week - varying weather conditions from hot and dry to muggy and misty... nothing changed. It went on without clumps (YAY!!!!); stayed on my lashes (DOUBLE YAY!!!) and looked as good at 07h30 after gym as it did at 21h30 when it came off really easily (TRIPLE YAY!!!). Well done Avon on an amazing product that ticks ALL the boxes!

Adds oomph to your lashes
I would like to start this review by saying congrats and thank you to:
Beauty bulleting: for choosing me to review
Avon: for such a wonderful, amazing, fabulous product that produces mega lashes with voluptuous volume in minutes. Thanks to you, my quest for the perfect mascara is now over and I have made my choice and you have just earned a loyal mascara supporter for life!!!
How it all started:
I could hardly contain the excitement when Kelly sent me the mail to tell me that I was chosen to review the Avon mega effects, not yet released, mascara. I literally almost jumped out of my skin. **** tzar bursts out laughing*****Now, at this point I have to say that I am a huge fan of Avon make up. It’s reasonably priced and we are really spoilt for choice. When I saw the latest range they launched, I just melted; it’s all so beautifully designed with amazing colours; it’s true that Avon adds colour and beauty to the world of makeup.
Like a good reviewer, I collected my mascara today and ripped open the package to reveal.................
The product:
Ta da: Avon Mega Effects mascara in blackest black. Wow, how did they know that this was my absolute favourite colour? Aawwwww I am so impressed. Avon has designed a unique and sexy little mascara brush unlike any other manufacturer. Critics are calling it the ‘Brush of the Future’. Most mascara manufacturers have the basic wand design with the curvaceous brush at the end. But not Avon; their brush design is way more sophisticated and catered to the needs of any mascara lover. It’s shaped like a little paint brush knows as the one and only ‘Wonderbrush’. The ‘Wonderbrush’ bends and adjusts to multiple angles capturing every lash, top to bottom. The unique brush fits the natural shape of lashes, coating them evenly with formula from root to tip. The bristles are soft and flexible; it just glides over my lashes and conforms to the shape of my eyes, no clumps, no mess, and no fuss. The extra surface area of the Wonderbrush bristles are designed to deliver 40% more mascara to the lash and delivers incredible volume, wow. Plus, and this is very big ladies, I only need one coat, not 3 or 4 like usual. What a great feature! Great color and coverage too, so quick and easy to apply.
10/10 to Avon for coming up with this amazing design. It must have been created and designed by a woman, there is absolutely no doubt. I think this is an absolute first in the world of mascara. Well done Avon.
The package:
Did I forget to mention just how gorgeous the packaging has been done? What can I say that the packaging doesn’t already say for itself? One look at the mascara packaging and you can tell it's different in so many ways. It’s sexy, simple yet sophisticated and makes a lovely addition to my make up bag. It’s so small and versatile I guarantee it will fit any handbag or purse size. (Just kidding) The red and black color combination is so striking and appealing; you will not be able to miss this hot little number when shopping for it. This reminds me, I need to keep this precious little item safe from female colleagues and my sisters. If they were to learn of its existence in my possession it will, like we say in Afrikaans, ‘kry voete’ or vanish without a trace. Lol
Zharina’s step-by-step guide to using the Avon Mega effects Mascara 101
Ok, I have to make a confession here; I totally suck at applying mascara. The first time I applied this mascara I made a huge mess and ended up with Panda eyes, lol and I struggled a bit to get the brush out ***Tzar giggles**** Only after reading the instructions did I finally come to terms with the whole lever, and pulling the brush out of the container thing. Anyway, here goes:
Step 1: Remove the cap of the mascara. This is the red part on top
Step 2: Tug the red lever and pull out the brush. You will notice that the brush has already been coated and is ready for use.
Step 3: Grip the top part of your eye, just above the eyelashes, not too tight and gently stroke the brush over your top lashes in an upward direction. (Might work differently for others)
Step 4: Apply a hint of mascara to lower lashes
Step 5: Admire your work and beautiful lashes in a mirror and smile!
p.s I added some pictures but, as you know my photography skills are not that great I still tried.
Final result:
Great lashes with tons of volume that is fuller and much more shaped. Super Sexy
Final Comments
I know that this has been a long review but I just cannot stop talking about this wonderful mascara that is going to revolutionize the way we think about and use mascara for many years to come.
Would I recommend?
Of course, I am very impressed with this product and even though I won’t share it, I will still tell my friends, family and colleagues about it so they can buy their own. A point of note, the mascara is not waterproof but, I guess it’s a good thing. Mascara must be washed off before retiring to bed anyway, and this is a dream to remove, simple water will do and its leaves no residue behind.
I would like to take this opportunity to once again congratulate Avon on their wonderful product innovation and I am SURE this product is going to be very well received in the market.

The Pros:
The wand is quite unique and is definitely designed to amp up the volume. If you are looking for volume and you like quite a ‘wet’ mascara then you will like this one. It also gave a fair bit of length to my lashes. I also liked that it didn't flake or smudge at all during the day. It creates quite a false lash effect, and is perfect for doing your bottom lashes. I actually keep reaching for this again and again because it makes my lashes really pop. I don't mind the cleaning up afterwards if I've got the time to apply it, which is why I gave this mascara a good rating.
The Cons:
It depends on how your lashes naturally lie, but for me I found the mascara clumped quite a bit initially because my lashes naturally grow in weird directions. Because the wand picks up a lot of product I found it quite messy to use and had to do quite a bit of cleaning up afterwards along my upper lash line and below my eyes. It does well with volume and with length, but doesn't add much curl. It lost one star for messiness.

I was abit tacken aback when I opened the box and saw an unusual looking mascara tube, even more so when I pulled out the brush, but my initial shock turned to absolute delight when I applied the mascara. It lenghtened my lashes so much that it felt like they were touching my eyebrows. The colour is absolutely divine and my lashes were left thicker than normal. I really enjoyed appilying it to the bottom lashes as this is where my mascara normally clumps, this didn't clump at all. I would most definetly recommend buying this.

Big bold beautiful lashes, can you ever say NO? Ladies may I introduce to YOU the most phenomenal mascara to hit South Africa by a storm. This extraordinary mascara has a unique "never seen before" design which transforms lashes from corner to corner, which leaves you with eyes that look bigger, lashes that look darker and more dramatic. Avon states that this unique mascara wonderbrush allows 40% more volume to lashes for bold volume.
This Avon Mega Effects Mascara is unveiling a completely new approach to mascara application. This unique mascara took six years in the making, this volumising mascara is the result of feedback from over 2000 women and 5000 hours of science. This mascara comes with a never seen before wonderbrush, the unique brush bristles fit the natural shape of lashes, plus the ergonomic brush bends for comfort and control.
Mega Effects Mascara replaces the standard wand with an innovative new multi-dimensional brush that lifts top and bottom lashes from root to tip in a whole new way. The first-ever brush of its kind, the Wonderbrush fits the curve of your eyes and can be used at 12 different angles for a corner to corner lash transformation. The bigger bristle area combs through lashes easily for phenomenal clump-free volume, which is basically what every girl is looking for.
So how can you achieve clump free, sweat proof, non-flaking and non-smudging lashes which last for up to 24 hours in four simple steps? Here is how!
Step 1- GRIP IT: Grip at sides and remove mascara cap.
Step 2- ROCK IT: Rock brush from side to side to pull out.
Step 3- BEND IT: Bend brush to desired angle and apply from the root to tip.
Step 4: LOCK IT: Insert applicator until it locks in place.
**If the applicator needs more mascara, re-insert into mascara base (make sure it is fully inserted) then gently squeeze the base and repeat steps two to four again**

My thoughts on the Avon Mega Effect Mascara in Blackest Black
As soon as I ripped open my postal packaging (I couldn't hold my excitement any longer) I noticed a cute small black box. I was surprised that the box was quite simple and with small text adjustments to a simple box, made a big difference. The AVON logo was in shimmering silver. I thought the word "Mega" looked much more eye catching on the box because the text was in Uppercase (all capital letters) plus it had a printed 3D effect, while the word "effect" was in standard text, while the word mascara was in smaller text.
The mascara base is pure black while the lid is hot pink and the two colours together are just eye catching and perfect. The mascara lid has "Mega Effects Mascara" printed on, exactly like the text printed on the box. As soon as you pull out the lid from the mascara, you will see a brush sticking out of the mascara. So the instructions that are given help you get familiar with the mascara and how to use the mascara to get the best out of your lashes. I will admit that the mascara does look complicated at first, but after the first try, it is much easier to use.
The mascara brush is known as Avon's "Wonderbrush" and I can finally see why they call this brush the wonderbrush, it sort of looks like a mini paint brush for your lashes. I feel that this brush will definitely get your lashes looking amazing and make your eyes stand out more than usual. The brush provides lashes with 40% more mascara, plus the brush allows perfect application with no more messy globs of mascara and no more tails of mascara. I really love the grips on the mascara brush because it allows more control and makes it easier to use.
I found the bristles on the mascara brush to be perfectly shaped to allow an amazing application. The texture of the mascara is quite thin but even with one coat you can see a magnificent amount of volume. When I tested out the mascara I felt it took a few seconds to properly dry, so I'd recommend keeping lashes still straight after application to avoid smudging. The best part about the Avon Mega Effects mascara is that it is ophthalmologist tested, so if you have sensitive eyes, it is still perfectly safe because there is no irritation or discomfort. Plus when you're removing your mascara, the Mega Effects Mascara literally melts under eye make up remover.
PRO's and CON's

I think the biggest con would be that because of the 'regular' mascara look, people would be afraid to try this mascara out because it is different.
The cost of the Mega Effects Mascara
The mascara retails for R99,95 on special in Brochure 12 and retails for R189,95, which is the regular price for the Mega Effects Mascara.
The Mega Effects Mascara shades:
Blackest Black
Brown Black
My Final Verdict
I would really recommend you give the Mega Effects Mascara a try, firstly because it gives lashes the most amazing volume ever, plus the mascara is easy to use. Even though the mascara looks a little scary at first, I promise once you've tried this mascara, you won't look back because this gives lashes everything you ever wanted. It makes eyes look more vibrant and makes lashes look darker. The mascara is long lasting and is sweat proof so it's perfect if you're off in the sun which is great because Summer is around the corner. The mascara is smaller than regular mascaras which makes it much easier to keep in your hand bag or clutch bag if you're off to a party.
Avon stated that the new Mega Effects Mascara will give you bold lashes with panoramic volume. Eyes look bigger and lashes look darker, denser and more dramatic. Clump-proof, sweat-proof, non-flaking and non-smudging. - I say this is 100% TRUE! This mascara is nothing short of magical. It is really a mascara you should have. I would definitely give this mascara a full 10 out of 10, and if my review doesn't convince you, hopefully these comments on the Mega Effects Mascara by Avon's Global Celebrity Makeup Artist and Avon's Executive Director of Color Research & Development will convince you.
“I love Mega Effects Mascara; the bendable wand allows you to get in close from many different angles, making it super easy to use. I always keep at least one in my makeup kit!”

“There hasn’t been true innovation in mascara since the 1950s. We realized there was a need for an improved application process and Avon is changing history by introducing a breakthrough with ergonomics in mind that will change the mascara application experience.”

I received my Avon Mega Effects Mascara and used it for the first time today ... this product is absolutely amazing! The unique design of the brush allows for a one-step, clump free application. With the typically-designed mascara brushes on the market, you sometimes need to do individual lashes, so as not to be left with clumped eyelashes. This Avon mascara eliminates the need to do that as the brush covers the entire lash area with one easy swipe.
And the stunning pink packaging is a definite eye-catcher!
Today I will place an order with my Avon representative - bulk buy - yes please! This is MY new mascara :)

I ALWAYS wear mascara, so let me start of by saying this: In my opinion, this is the BEST mascara I have ever used! I know that I have used quite a few mascaras and the current always being better than the last, but I never stopped looking for thee PERFECT mascara! I am proud to say that I have finally found this in Avon Mega Effects Mascara!
The packaging:
Unique, Innovative, Creative, User Friendly and Perfect for me. I love the fact that its so securely packaged, now I do not have to worry about my mascara drying out. The applicator reminds me of a paint brush, and the application feels like I am painting the formula onto my lashes. I LOVE THIS!!! The applicator is so perfectly proportioned that it allows for each individual lash to be coated, separated, elongated and thickened. All this after one coat.... YES LADIES, ONE COAT! The applicator allows you to bend/angle it for a more precise application, reaching the lashes on the inner and outer corners of the eye. YES, the applicator may look odd, but I think it's the best thing since sliced bread - and by far the most innovative mascara wand yet. It covers the entire lash line and when starting from the root and wiggling upwards, it covers every lash strand leaving beauty in its path, you gotta love it!!
The overall packaging is eye catching with Avon's signature black casing but with an addition of a red cap, as well as the applicator handle being the same shade of red. I think the colour scheme works really well together giving off a great edgy vibe and all together visually appealing!
It's small, compact and easily transportable in your clutch/handbag/cosmetic bag
The formula:
The Mascara formula is nothing short of awesome! As I have mine in Blackest Black it has a lovely velvety appearance with a good smooth consistency. It takes instantly to my lashes and as previously stated it coats, separates, elongates and thickens in one simple coat! I find this to be perfect for those situations when time is of the essence, and all i have time for is one coat! The wonderbrush also allows me to get right down in the root so it appears as if I have eyeliner on, so another plus! But if you are after a more intense look, apply the second coat before your first application dries - It dries really quick which is useful as there is minimal to no mess, and less opportunity for my handy work to smudge.
After application, then what?
Sit back, relax, look fabulous, fierce and feel confident knowing that Avon Mega Effects Mascara has you covered! As I have previously mentioned in other reviews, I wear contact lenses so I need my mascara to be flake proof as well as to be easily removed at the end of the day (there is nothing worse than trying to get your mascara off and losing a few lashes in the process!). I find all the boxes ticked with Avon Mega Lash Mascara..
How did it fare through various situations?
I had a vigorous 2 hour work out last night and perspired buckets, I looked worse for wear, but my eyelashes still looked absolutely fabulous! I do not think this particular mascara is waterproof, but found that it did not run when my eyes teared up (I suffer from hay fever and sinus and often have to deal with itchy teary eyes), it did not smudge, or flake through out the day - even after the itchy eye episode, and the hectic work out.
To sum it up:
Pros:
- It does not flake, AT ALL.
- It does not smudge
- My lashes look crisp and fresh at the end of the day, so it wears extremely well, better than most mascara's i have used.
- It takes well to lashes
- One coat is all you need for beautiful naturally full looking lashes
- It is buildable, so achieving that intense smouldering lash look is a piece of cake with Avon Mega Lash
- The applicator allows me to really get down onto the lash line which helps to create a fuller appearance as well as an eyeliner effect and really opens up my - eyes
- Clump free
Cons:
Personally, I'm head over heels in love with Avon Mega Lash, so I can't find any cons.
* I have read many reviews on this Mascara before receiving from BB and what seems to be common is that some women find the applicator to be too short or small or even plain scary (I think the scary part becuase it's so different and some women do not like change from the traditional wand). I thought this would also be the case after seeing it, but I think it is more a matter of finding the nick to using it. Once you master that, you will find that its actually the perfect size for precise and efficient application.
In a nutshell, it lives up to its promises and so much more *happiness*
As I do not share my mascara with anyone, I have not tested this on anyone with short or minimal lashes. From what I have experienced though, I would think that it will definitely improve the visual appearance of lashes in the before mentioned conditions. I would therefore highly recommend this mascara to everyone, it's not your average mascara, so you may experience some trial and error, but I promise, It's really worth the results, all you need is a little patience!
* for the first time user, there is an instruction leaflet provided inside the box with step by step instructions on how to apply the mascara :)
Thank you to BB and Avon for sending this amazing mascara my way, you made one mascara loving lady VERY VERY happy!
