Smashbox Super Fan Mascara Review

October 5, 2020

I have been addicted to getting eyelash extensions since I first discovered them last year! But it gets expensive and I still need a great mascara for the time in between sessions. I recently tried out the best selling Smashbox Super Fan Mascara and today I’ll show you some swatches and my review.

The claims from this mascara is long-wearing mascara that gives you a fanned-out look. The formula will provide a 12 hour length, lift and volume without heaviness or clumping! Let’s see if it lives up to its claims.

Basics

Name: Smashbox Super Fan Mascara
Shades: 1 shade, Black
Size: 10mL
Price: $26 CAD

Packaging

With a red and black color palette, this mascara gives off a dramatic vibe. I usually prefer natural bristles but this rubber bristle wand surprisingly doesn’t irritate or poke my eyes. The wand is tapered towards the end which is good for getting in the corners. The bristles themselves are rather standard with some single strands and some criss crosses.

Formula

I found this mascara did a really great job separating my lashes. The formula was also dark and black! However, I thought the formula was a bit on the heavy side as it made my lashes droop. I have naturally curled lashes but I can imagine this to be a detriment for anyone with straight lashes.

I like that I was able to build up the intensity without clumping the lashes. But this doesn’t achieve the longest length I’ve ever seen with a mascara. I like that this stays on well during the day and there’s no flakes that drop on to my skin. But I wish it gave my lashes a bit more curl so it opens up the eyes more.

Demo

Here is the before and after of my lashes using the Smashbox Super Fan Mascara. As you can see, the color is very intensely black. I didn’t add eyeliner but it really accentuated my lash line. The lashes are separated nicely but I wish it was a bit longer and more curled up.

Ratings

Big lashes: 3/5
Blackness: 5/5
No clumping: 5/5
No flaking/smudging: 5/5
Lashes feel fluffy: 5/5
Value: 4/5

Total 27/30 A

I realized my rating system doesn’t have a criteria for curl (I’m trying to keep it consistent so you can compare to all the other mascaras I’ve reviewed). So I think I’d probably deduct one more point because my lashes are straighter than normal when I use this mascara.

Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka

No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅

We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!

I've been using this a lot on my vacation and it stays on amazingly well all day even with the humidity.
I went for a more unique shade but all the basic browns and neutrals are available too!

Would you swap your current eyeshadow for this?
