Advantages: good general mascara, not too expensive

Disadvantages: does not provide different effects

My attraction to this product was probably the same as many women - a mascara that can provide different lash outcomes in one product! Great idea! What a money saver!

Hmmm.... maybe not. Greed set in upon opening this product and I wanted the longer, fuller lashes straight away. I am a sucker for that false lash look without actually having to apply the things. So I twisted it round to number 3.

The packaging looks good, the tube is sturdy and the twister at the bottom is solid yet easily moved. But I d not fear for it breaking.

So n goes the mascara. And again. And again. Layer upon layer. Yet I didn't feel that my lashes looked that long or full really. I thought they looked pretty average.

In terms of staying power the mascara does not leave you with panda eyes by the end of the day - a bonus! But is easily removed with a face cleansing wipe.

So after a few days of using this product on the 3rd setting, curiosity sets in as to what the other lengths are like. Exactly the same in my opinion. Maybe it's my eyelashes, maybe they have been over exposed to mascara over the years and are immune to this product - but surely that would apply to 90% of the women out there?

The product wasn't too expensive in terms of mascaras out there. It is perhaps one of Avon's more expensive.

So while this mascara has good staying power, nice packaging, and was easily removed - yes all the things you want in a mascara. I didn't feel that it did what it says on the tin. So it works just fine, but not quite what I had in mind.

Summary: a good general mascara
