Mascara Monday - Avon SuperExtend Eye Accents Mascara!

Avon SuperExtend Eye Accents Mascara - $9.99 - have light reflective pearls to help make your eyes look brighter and lashes look up to 55% longer. It comes in four shades meant to enhance eye colour: Black Steel for blue eyes; Black Amethyst for green eyes; Black Topaz for brown eyes; and Black Emerald for hazel eyes. I take it you are supposed to pick the mascara that coordinates to your eye colour but I'm a rebel rule breaker and liked the idea of green mascara so I tested the Black Emerald for my non-hazel eyes.

It's hard to see in the picture but the formula is noticeably green so I was a little worried that it would look too green on my actual lashes -

My sad little naked eye!

but looking at them you would never know my lashes were a little green at all!

And it's easier to tell from the closed picture that it does add some good length. In the future I will comb my lashes out a little more though, I was just trying to see if I could get some volume out of it as well but as you can see, it doesn't really volumize, after 2 coats it just starts to look a bit clumpy.

Overall I like this mascara, the brush is easy to use, the formula isn't too thick or clumpy and it adds length and definition without flaking. It's hard to say if it enhances eye colour since I didn't use the recommended one for my eye colour but the mascara colour is so subtle, it sure can't hurt!
