According to our customers and our sales totals the one item in the makeup bag we can't live without is Mascara.

You are still very much craving long, lush lashes and you are gravitating towards Avon who sell three a minute as they are typically half the price of the other brands and just as good.

In my latest blog post, I will give you a few tips on how to apply Mascara safely and not harm your eyes. Plus  bonus Tips!

Nothing ever lasts forever!

It may come as a shock, but Mascara has a shelf life once opened of about three months. When you purchase your Avon mascara make sure you check the product, after all, you don't want to risk an eye infection.

Clean your Brushes

in a previous blog post, I have written how important to keep your brushes in tip-top condition, eyeliner brushes and eye-curlers need cleaning every couple of weeks. And like your hands, all it takes is a little soap and water.

Too much Mascara is not always a good thing!

I am talking specifically water-proof, great for the summer or if you know you will be sweaty, but just not every day. Besides not being the easiest to take off, it tends to tug the lashes more, weakening and eventually making them fall out.

Take it off before you go to bed,

The mascara will dry and it can cause lashes to fall off, scratch your cornea, building up bacteria leaving you with an inflamed eye.

Avon, of course, provide products that remove Mascara quite easily
My two top-rated recommendations are

From the Avon Clean Beauty Vegan range, the Clean Break Cleanser
is a super-hydrating cleansing balm. Infused with apricot oil, mango butter, cocoa butter and cucumber extract, this vegan cleanser works to gently melt away stubborn make-up and impurities to reveal gorgeous, supple skin.

Or the Avon Micellar water which effectively cleanses and removes waterproof make-up

As always, Patch test by applying a little to the back of the neck before applying to lashes.

Bonus Tips.

Turn up the Volume.

Now you can have double your lash volume and a lightweight flutter with Avon True Euphoric Mascara. We know through our sales this new Avon Mascara, Ladies love a voluminous lash.
For an extra lush look, use baby powder with a cotton bud on your lashes prior to applying the mascara

Open Wide

A neat little trick to stop you blinking, Open your mouth up wide, Try it - It makes it a lot harder to blink!

Keep the wand

Waste not, want not! Save the wand, wash the wand and use it as a “spoolie” brush to help groom your brows.

In case of formula fail. 

Apply loose powder to your cheeks prior to applying, In case formula falls. If it does, a quick swipe of the powder and it's gone.
