This is my 2nd Max Factor mascara I’ve tried. The first is the famed 2000 Calorie mascara I bought from Hong Kong when Max Factor had not yet come in. When Max Factor returned to Malaysia, they brought in their new mascara – False Lash Effect Mascara.
The promise is a big one. It is to give you the effect of wearing false lashes by just using the mascara. Does it? Naturally, that’s what we’re here to find out! 😀
Roll up! Roll Up!
As the Ringmaster might say.
I’ve got some pics of a new L’Oreal day and night spot corrector and some Max Factor product pictures for you after the cut.
But before we get into all that, take a look at what I enjoyed reading from my beauty blogging friends this October :-
So what’s on offer from Max Factor and L’Oreal you ask? Hop along for a quick peek!
Happy Saturday Ladies!
What are you up to this weekend? Isn’t it quite impressive how the weeks are flying by? I’ve been mostly working my butt off over the week, pulling late nights and such, but I’m quite happy because a lot of important work got done 🙂 Oh and I’m also thrilled at the overwhelming response to the Celebrate October giveaway!
Now that the boring bit’s over, here are some new things that have popped up recently that you might like to take a look at.

When you see something that says it has 2000 calories and you are female, you might just run away screaming from it, because you just KNOW its all going straight to your thighs 😛 But when it promises you 2000 calories on your lashes… ah! that’s a different story altogether, if you have skinny lashes.
I’d read a lot about the Max Factor 200 Calorie Mascara on so many forums where girls raved on about how wonderful it was for their lashes. So, when I came across the Max Factor counter in Hong Kong, I knew I had to pick this up, and I did.
The Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara is a mascara that promises to be everything a mascara should be – smudge proof, volumizing & lengthening. Does it? My answer is that this is one product that under-delivers in my view.
The texture of the Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara in the tube I got was rather dry. I’m not sure if this is the way the formula is, because my tube was brand new and sealed. That said, I did not find it goopy so it applied fairly well. I find the brush rather like a Maybelline mascara brush – big. Too big for my little lashes but perhaps due to the shape, it bothered me less than Maybelline mascara brushes do.
