Advantages: It is the most effective mascara I have used Disadvantages: Possibly price if you dont want to pay £6 for something that lasts a few months
I love this mascara. Deep rooted insecurities about the size of my eyes (probably rooted in something very profound from my childhood!) have led to to spend an absolute fortune on different make up products, trying desperately to make my eyes look bigger and more attractive than the piggy little ones that God unfortunately saw fit to give me. I tried mascaras from as many different ranges as you care to mention, spending sometimes upwards of £15 ... ...Then I found the mascara I currently use, 'Oil of Olay'. It is without doubt the best that I have tried, it lengthens, seperates and is very easy to apply, with a nicely shaped brush. It is also quite economical, as it lasts for quite a while, though of course, I would never, ever, ever use a mascara more than three months old ;). It is usually priced at around £5.99, or thereabouts, and I would suggest it to anyone who is prepared to spend that ...

Advantages: quick to apply, and natural looking Disadvantages: price
Ok, it's expensive as far as mascaras go. My sister gave me this tube, as she didn't like it (she prefers the "curling" stuff), but I have found it not bad. Not bad at all. If I would purchase it myself is another matter though! ;)
It saves you time when you apply it, because the wand is the tapered type, and the consistency of the liquid is such that it doesn't easily clump messily. After a couple of quick coats you're done! The formula is sensitve, ... ...had a problem there.
Only problem I HAVE found with it is that it seems very easy to get on your eyeLIDS. I have no idea why. Maybe it is the shape of the wand, or because the mascara is thin (in this case that is a good thing over all).
If you do get a mark on your skin it will be impossible to remove once dried, so be careful. It is waterproof, definitely!
Because it is quite thin it is simple to load the brush and your lashes still feel flexy ...

Advantages: No allergic reactions at all Disadvantages: expensive and navy blue has been taken off manufacture.
I've been using Oil of Olay mascara since it first came out and as someone who begins to sneeze with some products, this is marvellous. From the beginning, the range Talking Mascara never caused a sniffle and looked great!
It is easy to apply and has moisturiser in it so your lashes don't feel hard when it's dry. In several colours, it's great value and although it's about £5, it is well worth it.
Using every day, it lasts about 6 weeks and always ... ...it makes me feel better too. I've tried all brands on the market and nothing yet has beaten this for people like me. I wish more manufacturers would take this into account when making their products as not all 'hypo-allergenic' products do what they say. This doesn't claim to do anything but it is really wonderful!
It also doesn't dry out over time as some do which I think is important. ...

Advantages: easy to apply, no clumping, great results, longlasting tube Disadvantages: expensive, limited colours if htat matters to you and u like blue lashes as well as black ones :-)
...how I was introduced to Oil of Olay mascara. She gave me a tube of it, and from that moment on I realised how important it was to invest in your makeup. It never made sense to me before why someone would pay that much money for makeup. But now, having tried such a n expensive product, I have seen the results and know that they are worth paying for!
Oil of Olay is easy to apply to your lashes, and unlike cheaper mascaras, is easy to apply without ... ...attractive black tube with the Oil of Olay logo and Talkative Mascara printed on the side. I would never go out without applying some. This mascara costs £6.99 from Boots but it does last a long time and gives excellent results. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone. Even to my friends, who argue that they can't afford it. I cant afford not to!
Limited range of colours though in comparison to other brands. ...
