...mascara I’m talking about is Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara. The product promises to give your eyelashes 200% more volume whilst being smudge proof. Being a big fan of big eyelashes I decided to give it a try.
PACKAGING
The mascara comes in a dark blue tube with gold writing on it. It does not come in a box, and you usually find them all stacked together. It does not particularly stand out on the shelf and unless you went to the counter specifically ... ...retail for around £4.50. Max Factor is a well-known make up artist and the quality of the product is very good so the price is definitely justified.
WHERE TO PURCHASE FROM
Like I previously said I bought mine from the market but in Swansea the market is massive and many towns may not have make-up shops like ours do! I’ve seen this mascara in chemists, Boots and Superdrug. Max Factor is a well known brand so I would have thought that they would ...

Advantages: Works well, not too pricey, staying power Disadvantages: Uncertain on testing policy
...So when I saw this Max Factor one for only £7 in Boots (much less than my usual £15 odd quid I’m prepared to spend), I decided to give it a chance.
2000 Calorie Dramatic Look mascara is advertised as giving 200% more volume to lashes, and being touch proof and smudge proof. Now, with my hay fever and constantly dry eyes, I am always rubbing my eyes, so anything, which promises to be smudge proof, is guaranteed to catch my attention. I don’t ... ...tube, carrying the name and Max Factor logo in gold lettering, and the size info (9ml) The tubes about 4 ½ inches long, and about 1/3 inch thick. The mascara wand unscrews from the main body of the tube, with the brush itself being about 1/2cm thick, and tapered at one end. I find this is the best-shaped brush for applying mascara, as it gets into the corners of the lashes, and also separates them well.

Introduction
Max Factor is an international firm selling cosmetics. Maximilian Faktorowicz founded Max Factor in 1909. Maximilian Faktorowicz was a polish make-up artist who worked for the russian royal ballet. The company was bought out in 1991 by Procter & Gamble Co. Brief Overview
Max Factor 200 Calorie Mascara claims:
- Enhance your eyelashes by up to 300%

- Smudge Proof - Can be removed easily
Naming
Max Factor ... ...2000 Calorie refers to how much thicker your lashes look. Simple really. Packaging
The mascara comes in a navy blue tube with gold writing on and a gold rim around the lid. On the tube is written "2000 calorie", "dramatic look", "Max Factor", what the mascara aims to do, the company, the size and product code. The cylindrical tube is about 5 inches long and ½ inch wide. Personally I think the packaging is quite sophisticated, it's not incredibly ...

Advantages: Not for wall-flowers. Dramatic defining, lengthening and thickening effect. Easy to remove. Disadvantages: Not waterproof, but then it wouldn't be so easy to remove.
...great pains to explain why Max Factor's £7 of gorgeousness on a stick gets my vote (and regular purchase).
To put you in the picture, I am naturally dark-haired with fair skin that the sun invariably brings out in a mass of freckled mayhem when it so chooses. But with naturally thickish (but not particularly long) brunette lashes, my peep-holes can certainly cope with lashings of this self-titled 'dramatic' look. Maybe my avoidance of my fellow ... ...striking look for your lashes, Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara will not let you down - if you buy one for half the price you'll simply get half the effect. I've tried Maybelline's 'Full n' Soft' & 'Great Lash' mascaras, Agnes B 'Ultracils', Cover Girl 'Long n' Lush', Collection 2000 'Waterproof Mascara', Boots No.17 Big Volume and Max Factor Lash Silks - none touch the 2000 Calorie. ...

I have been using Max Factor make-up range for more years than I care to remember and have always found their products to be extremely good.
So last week I decided that it was time to renew the contents of my make up bag and in particular my mascara, as max factor do a range of mascaras that promise the most wonderful things e.g waterproof, extra long lashes etc, I was kind of spoilt for choice, after much thought and a lot to do with the bored ... ...is an added bonus as max factor mascaras I have used in the past seem prone to clogging after a few weeks use.

I find that I prefer the ...

I live in mascara. It would be my desert island comfort. I dont feel comfortable going anywhere without it on. I know this must seem vain, but hey, nothing wrong with looking good.
Just to juxtapose this love of this particular beauty essential, I have never spent much money on it. I bought a Lash Finity once, and that was more than I would ever have spent under normal circumstances, but I got suckered in by the adverts. Other than that, I spend ... ...job ok. Up until the point I bought this mascara, I thought I was doing fine without spending ooodles on something that was, like the lash finity, grossley over priced. As I said, that was until I bought this mascara.
Admittedly it was on sale, and just before I set off to uni, I had a panic about whether I had enough mascara to see me through my first term. I think it was more of a comfort thing, I KNOW I could have bought one there, but it was ...

I'm one of those girls who needs a little bit of mascara. I feel it just opens up my face and makes me look and feel a lot brighter! I wear mascara everyday and so I was desperate for not just a good mascara but an outstanding/perfect mascara- and honestly, I think i still haven't found it, but this one is the closest I've found yet.

THE BRUSH
The brush is not the best brush that I have used. I prefer my brushes to be a little curved to give my lashes an extra lift, but I like the fact that there are lots of bristles which adds volume to my lashes.

Max Factor replies "Er, no." Why then is my Calorie 2000 on full march mouthward? Sorry Rainbow Sprites for my rotten mood, if you're having a Bees and Butterflies Day please, save yourselves, click elsewhere.

Advantages: Effective, glamorous, dramatic, and gorgeous. Disadvantages: Expensive, conservative packaging, tested on animals.
...my eyes and face, and Max Factor 2000 Calorie makes a bigger difference than most; this mascara is deep jet black, creamy and easy to apply. It doesn't clump lashes together, but leaves them beautifully thick, long, separated and dramatic looking. Having said that, it's quite versatile; you don't have to look like you're wearing false eyelashes, and a little goes a long way, so though quite expensive, it's good value for money in the end. A tiny ... ...big, big, problem though - Max Factor's policies on Animal Testing.
