Disadvantages: Many; bad for the eyes, messy to apply

I was very disappointed with Avon Astonishing Lengths Mascara not least because, like a lot of mascaras, it did not live up to its claims. I paid £6 for mine some months ago on one of Avon's special offer campaigns.

I found it sloppy to use because the product was quite watery so, unless you were extremely careful, it was easy to splash it on to your skin or into your eyes where it caused such excrutiating pain and blurred vision that I had to remove all my eye make-up and bath my eyes with cold water. For this reason, I had to discontinue using it. No other mascara has caused me such pain and I worried that it may be dangerous to us. Many years ago I remember purchasing an Avon mascara and in the blurb in very tiny print on the tube were the words 'May cause blindness'!I should have learned my lesson then. In fact, I asked for a refund because I had no intention of risking my eyesight for a make-up product. I am surprised that this is not mentioned in their brochures but I suppose that would lose them sale. It seems that they are still using the same dangerous ingredients in their mascaras.

This was my second experience of Avon mascaras and I will not be buying any more. I don't think it is worth the risk, especially as it certainly does not give you 'astonishing' lengths!

Summary: Not recommended if you value your eyesight
