I swear by Avon waterproof mascara and have a story to tell you as to why I love it so much! About a year ago, a friend and I were coming out of a store and realized that while we were inside, a huge rainstorm had moved into the area. We made a mad dash for the car. When we got inside the car, we were both soaked BUT there was one huge difference between us; my Avon waterproof mascara was completely in tact; not a smudge or streak at all. My friend looked like something from a horror movie, as her mascara was literally streaked down her cheeks! When she asked me what kind of masacara I was wearing, I told her and also mentioned that strangely enough it washes off beautifully with makeup remover, but yet, holds up even in torrential rainstorms! I think anyone who needs a really good mascara should use this product; it isn’t like other waterproof mascaras that are extremely difficult to remove. This product is the absolute BEST mascara I have ever used. It also makes eyelashes look long and full (something other waterproofs don’t seem to do as well). I have tried other mascaras just to ’’compare’’ but I always go back to Avon’s waterproof mascara.
