So dissointed

Bought this as a cheap alternative, total waste of money I found that it makes my lashes stick together, not straight away but as it dries up giving them a clumpy look. It also takes FOREVER to dry which is so annoying considering I have super long lashes so if I sneeze etc then the mascara rubs off on my eyelids! It's really hard to put on without getting it everywhere so I wouldn't buy this one again

Tips: Would recommend paying an extra $10 and buying one of the false lash effect mascara so instead!!

2000 calorie mascara

Amazing lashes? Yes please!! I'm a big sucker for mascaras, so I am constantly trying out new ones. I came across this one when the maybelline one I was using must of had a faulty batch, the brushes had no bristles :/

So with much hesitation I was referred the product by the lovely girl at the farmers counter. I am so picky with my mascara that when I first tried it I was very quick to put the brush back in the bottle and think "fml" stick with what you know! But I soldiered on anyway!

My lashes are long and there are alot, but they are also thin, so I definatly need a thickening mascara. The calorie mascara kept my lashes sparse, so multiple coats was crucial. I probably put on 8 coats on the top before I was satisfied.

Although it finally made my lashes desirable, I would not purchase this product again. It dried out super fast and then coming to the lower lash line it would burn and sting and make my eyes water! I never used this product on the lower ones in the end.

If you have crazy thick lashes, I think this product would be perfect for your, otherwise stear clear.

2000 Calorie?

I purchased this mascara when I couldn't find the usual max factor mascara was sold out.. I thought this one all sounded great but in reality I was quite let down, I found that it would smudge and I defiantly didn't notice 300% more volume.. It is fine for day wear but gives nothing special to the lashes, I also found that it clumped up quite a bit. I would not recommend which is a shame because I have been so impressed with other max factor mascaras

Mascara Max factor

This mascara is good and does the job a mascara is needed for. However i am not sure i would buy again because i think i have used better previously. I think it may be the design of the brush which does not apply as well as others do. It applies but does not enhance your lashes for a more lengthy and bold look. I still think it works well and is very affordable. Good brand but just not the best mascara i have ever used but am happy to continue using this product until i run out.

Great 'day time' mascara

I found this mascara good for day time use, for work etc. It separated the lashes and gave them a nice even coat but didnt make them look fuller or longer. I usually prefer a thicker looking lash and had to apply several coats to get this look. Great price for a make up bag staple though.

Tips: Great 'natural' looking day time mascara.

Love result - Poor Quality

This was my go -to mascara for a while. great results, however it doesn't last very long. I found that after about a month of being open it would start to smell a little bit! this happened to me on two occasions, maybe I just bought old product, but i think that it just isnt as good quality as others on the market.

No panda eyes

Good pigmentation and no clumping with this mascara but I don't think it added a huge amount of volume to my lashes. It doesn't flake and helps with the curl of my lashes and I find the shape of the applicator easy to work with to get right down to the root of my lashes.

Average

I definitely didn't notice three times the volume with this, even after several coats. However, it was still a decent mascara. There was no smudging, it was water-resistant and it stayed on my eyelashes all day. The brush was a simple, straight wand, which I like and I found it easy to apply to both my upper and lower lashes.

It dried out fairly quickly though, and, after just under a couple of months, starting clumping and sticking my lashes to each other, so I had to throw it away. I probably wouldn't use it again, as, in my opinion, there are better mascaras on the market, for the same price that give more volume and don't dry up as quickly.

2000 calorie mascara

Farmers recently had a 'two for the price of one Max Factor' deal. I have been wanting to try this product for a while, so jumped onto this promotion and got two mascaras. This one and the Velvet one. I got this in black and it comes in a standard tube with a large brush. Coats my lashes well, and doesn't flake. The formula can seem a bit gluggy, but a few wipes of the brush onto the neck of the tube soon fixes that. Not a noticeable scent, and doesn't irritate my eyes, this mascara also comes off easily at the end of the day. I would repurchase.
