Avon SuperShock Eyeliner in ‘Blackened Metal’
I received this little pot of wonderful stuff with my Avon delivery on Tuesday. Avon’s SuperShock Eyeliner is unlike any eyeliner I’ve ever used before, as it comes in a glass pot and is applied using an eye liner brush. When I first received the eyeliner and my new brush I was slightly worried that I wouldn’t be able to apply the liner neatly. I don’t have a very steady hand when it comes to this sort of thing, but I thought I’d give it a go this morning.
The bristles on the brush are stiff and fine, and the brush is angled for precision application. I have to say, for a fairly low priced plastic brush it feels quite high quality – the handle is sturdy and the bristles soft and silky.
I was expecting the eyeliner to be solid black in colour, but it is actually more of a metallic grey/black with silver sparkly bits. It looks more solid in the photograph that it really is. In reality the gel is nice and creamy and the brush picks it up well. Before I talk about application, here is a skin swatch to demonstrate the colour of the eyeliner. You can really see the shimmery undertones to the gel in this picture:
Surprisingly, the eyeliner is VERY easy to apply! It glides on in one neat, smooth line and can be layered easily to create thicker and darker lines. I even found it simple to do even, equal flicks on the outside corner of my eyes without making a mess! The eyeliner dries extremely quickly and stays in place with no smudging. I am so impressed with this eyeliner – it has exceeded my expectations and the brush is one of the best I have! This is the final result:
Avon’s SuperShock Eyeliner costs £6 at full brochure price, and the brush is £4, but they are currently on offer at 2 for £8 in Brochure 8. The eyeliner also comes in two other shades – Shimmering Sapphire and Flashy Brown. If you would like to order, visit the ‘Order Avon From Me’ page. I now deliver to Europe and the USA!!
Have you ever tried Avon’s SuperShock Eyeliner?

I received it today….im not so sure about it. The worst part it that it didnt come with a brush, i asked my representative and she said that it didnt come with one. And i thought it wont be tooo glittery but it was packed with glitter! Thankfully i had a gel liner brush from h and m i could use, and the gel liner wasnt easily packed on… The packaging was cute as small. I dont know about this product, it seems that it wasnt what i had expected at all…what should i do??
Im not saying that it is a bad product, probably cause i over estimated it…but i wanted to know if i can return it or get my money back….
Avon is great but i dont know what to do
btw i want to also know what the face perfecter from magix does..
Hey, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like it. I’ve only ever had good feedback about it! I bought the brush with mine and it applied well with that.
In the UK Avon has a 90 day returns policy, so you can return anything within that time, even if it’s been opened and used. Just contact your Rep and she will refund you. You won’t have to post it off, your Rep will do that
The Magix Face Perfector is nice. I used it for a while and it works, but it contains something I’m allergic to so I had to stop using it eventually as it was giving me a rash
If you want a non-glittery gel liner, check out e.l.f.’s range :). They have a few plain ones.
