2000 Calorie Mascara Waterproof - Black by Max Factor for Women - 9 ml Mascara

I missed my 2000 calorie mascara after someone made the boneheaded decision to stop making Max Factor. That person, IMHO, sucks. This mascara is wonderful and thickening. Why is it that Great Britain always gets the great products- Max Factor, HP Sauce, and the BBC???Anyway, I ordered this and I thought it would take forever to arrive. I was mistaken, it arrived about 2 1/2 weeks after ordering. Fast for overseas shipping, because even things from our great neighbors in Canada (they get the best stuff, too.) Takes about 3 to 4.It was just as great as I remember, it lengthened and thickened my eyelashes for a great "falsie" effect, but it stayed on ALL DAY, not common for US mascaras, I've found.I'm going to order more products from this company. They are really great, and overseas shipping won't kill you.

I love this mascara. It is the only one that suits me. It stays on.Oil or my personal favorite, soft cocoa butter is the only thing that will remove this at night. That remover needs to sit a bit to break down the product.Watch the creams you use on your face before adding this to your lashes and make sure that remover is gone from the night before.As I've said in other reviews, I order from this shop, Galaxy. They seem to be the only store that has provided a seal on these tubes.They might be the ones to do this. I don't think Max Factor cares about their packaging anymore. Who ever wraps the seal on, I am glad for it.This latest tube is a little drier than the others I have purchased in the past. It still works fine but again, I put that on Max Factor since they are not providing any expiration dates.

I received this mascara today and I have a few pros and cons. Pros: still the awsome formula I remember and it looks great on my lashes. Cons: It made me a little nervouse that it didn't come in the regular packaging and was loose in the envelope and also was NOT the waterproof version I had orderedStill love the product bit would have preferred the waterproof version, and having the packaging would have solidified the idea that it was unused.

This mascara has worked better than any drug store brand I have ever tried. My lashes are somewhat short and not very noticeable without mascara. Also, my lashes are normally hard to curve. This mascara gives my lashes great length, which i am not used to! It also holds curve in my lashes. It does not flake at all and is actually legit waterproof. If I leave this mascara on overnight, I no longer wake up with raccoon eyes. It does cost a little more than what I am used to, but I will definitely be buying this product again. :)

I received this product loose, with no packaging only a white sku sticker on the side of the tube. When I started to apply it, I noticed that there was very little mascara on the wand. It was obviously dried up and when I looked closer, there was an eyelash on the brush!! EEW!! I promptly returned it. I have since discovered a good waterproof mascara, Loreal Voluminous False Fiber, that holds the curls and gives me nice dark lashes. I can also apply several coats because it doesn't dry as quickly as most waterproof formulas. It holds the curl really well and gives me a lot of volume because of the fibers. The brush is a little awkward, but as long as I work slowly and methodically, I can cover every lash with two or three light coats. I also like Maybelline Rocket waterproof mascara, which is a holy grail product for me. I sometimes use Rocket over the False Fiber formula if I want my lashes extra dark. Both of these formulas are excellent and I would recommend them both over any Max Factor mascara that doesn't come in the original packaging. I can't believe anyone would sell dried up mascara and not expect the buyer to return it. I certainly don't want something that's old and has been used by someone else. That is totally unscrupulous and unsanitary. Yuck!! I definitely don't recommend buying this Max Factor mascara. You will get a dried up product and likely one that someone else has returned. Buyer beware!!!

I have worn this mascara since I was 15 and was really upset when it was discontinued. I started buying it on Amazon a few years ago and was concerned at first that the tube only comes in a bag with no original packaging. That is just the way it is so,d as I buy it directly from Amazon. The formula has changed slightly from when I was a teen but is still great. I have spent so much money on various waterproof mascara and most are terrible. I realize that the non water proof mascaras are easier to use, but I don't want to be worried about the rain, or allergies making me look like some deranged hooker when my mascara starts to run.This mascara makes my eyelashes look so long and it lasts all day. I actually had started using a prescription eyelash grower from plastic surgeon before finding this mascara again but was able to discontinue using it because I am so pleased with the results of this mascara. If you are familiar with Lancôme, this mascara performed very much like their high rated mascara. I was paying twenty eight dollars per tube. I am one of those people that would give up all my other makeup just for a good mascara and I think this is it. My teen daughter loves it too.

I love this mascara, and have used it for many years. Then Max Factor decided not to sell it in the US. When I found this mascara on Amazon, I was overjoyed and ordered right away! Be warned though: this mascara does not come sealed in any way. It does not come in its own little sealed package, nor is there any security seal on the tube itself. Because of this I hesitate to use the mascara since I don't know if it is sanitary or not.

Simply put, the REAL product looked great on, stayed great all day, and was totally waterproof, and didn't clump. The lashes looked natural, just longer thicker and better. No matter what the weather, or condition of heat, or humidity, the REAL mascara was foolproof, and this is not even close. PERIOD Will not try it again; it is a very sad imitation.
