If I had to choose only one makeup product to use for the rest of my life it would certainly be mascara. I find that when I wear mascara, it instantly changes my face, it makes me look more awake and prettier. Since, mascara is such an important step in my makeup routine, I'm always on the search for the best one. Recently, my sister gave me the Avon Super Shock Max Mascara in Black and I have been using it ever since. It has a dry formula and a huge wand. After using it for a couple of months the product gets a lot drier, thus resulting in clumpier lashes. I'd definitely say that it adds more volume than length, as you can see from the photo above. In the top picture my lashes are completely au naturel and underneath my lashes have one coat of the mascara, without curling or brushing them. One coat is usually what I opt for on a regular basis, but for a night out two coats is also good. I wouldn't recommend adding more than two coats, as it would simply make the lashes clumpy and unnatural. My ideal mascara gives me length and volume, but still looks natural. I really dislike unnatural, thick and clumpy lashes and sometimes black can look quite odd against my light skin-tone. I think it's around €10 and for that price you can't really complain as the typical price tag for a high-street / drugstore mascara is around €15. I should also add that I have naturally long lashes, so most of the time mascaras tend to look good on me. They simply dye my naturally blond lashes, giving me the length that's already there. In addition, this isn't waterproof, at all. This is definitely not my favourite mascara, but it's good enough. I don't think this is a product that I would repurchase any time soon, though.

Vs L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes
Here's one coat without curling or brushing my lashes and the Gosh mascara. The right eye has no product on. I have to say it's volume is great as well as the length.
Here we have one layer of the Gosh mascara on the left and on the right we have the Volume Million Lashes Mascara from L'Oréal, which I have shown previously. This Gosh mascara is definitely my favourite mascara at the moment. It separates my lashes well and doesn't smell bad as the L'Oréal Volume Million Lashes does. Both mascaras applicators seem rather similar.

A couple of days ago, I visited a drugstore and bought some things along with this mascara from L'Oréal Paris. At first, I have to say I really liked it, but after a while of having this on my lashes I almost had a headache and all I wanted to do is remove the product. I tired applying it once more after that day and I felt the same. I think that might be due to the fact this mascara has a strong and unpleasant smell in my opinion. Some people say they like the smell, I personally can't stand it. You know, I've always been sensitive to scents. It's such a shame, since it's a good mascara. I ended up giving this to my sister.
I haven't curled or brushed my lashes. The left eye has the product, just so you can see the difference. I wouldn't call this mascara the "queen" of volume, since it looks more of a lengthening mascara to me.
Sorry for this sort of negative post. Thank you for reading and have a lovely week! :)
