I was thrilled to be selected to trial this new offering by Avon. I've never been more confused on how to use a mascara quite like this one. When I took it out the box I think my first words were "wow".

I immediately grabbed the instructional pamphlet for directions as I knew it wouldn't be easy and I was right. Firstly it takes alot of practising to perfect. Avon have literally reinvented the wheel with this so you need to forget what you know about mascara and start from scratch.

Holding the brush felt weird because its flat. Then there's the application which is tricky. It almost feels like you have a paint brush in your hand and you painting your lashes. When I finished my lashes the effect wasn't great. I had smudges all over but you know, practice makes perfect.

After a week of trial and error, I think I've mastered the application. I have to say, I do prefer mascaras that have these bristle brushes like this Avon one as it works well for my lashes.

I will keep on persevering until I have 100% perfected and conquered this mascara.
