Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara
Price: 5 out of 5 (a little less than $7 from Ulta)
Packaging (Brush Wand): 1 out of 5
Overall: 3 out of 5
What it claims: " Get a dramatic look with 2000 Calorie Mascara — it volumizes lashes up to 200%. Water resistant and smudge-proof hypoallergenic formula is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. With curved brush applicator." (source)
The truth: Dramatic? Not so much!
What I loved about it: It gave a little length to my lashes. But nothing that my current HG lengthening mascara can't do.
What I didn't like: The flipping wand was the worst thing I have ever seen Seriously..it was a clumpy mess and maybe it's just be but I'm not a big fan of curved brushes. I don't even see the point of them.
Overall: For starters, the picture I have listed is not the the EXACT same one as the one I purchased. In fact, after doing further research, I found that Max Factor has a number of 2000 Calorie mascara. The one I really wanted to try out was the 2000 Calorie Lash Extreme plumper. This mascara, I found to be just "okay". I was actually a little disappointed. It wasn't BAD, but I guess I didn't understand what it was supposed to do. The volume was just so so. I didn't experience and flaking throughout the day and the clump factor was down a bit. Definitely nothing to brag about.
Lashes with NO mascara
Lashes with TWO coats
Would I recommend it?: Not at all. I would hold out for the Lash Extreme plumper. Click the link below to visit the video review.

I generally don't like Max Factor products.
i used the general 2000 calorie one and i loved it. it gave me nice big bold lashes and never came off.
hmm... thanks for this... i'm a mascara junkie and am willing to try just about everything...
i think my all time favorite is Benefit's BadGal. It makes my lashes both thick AND long.
i have a purple urban decay coming soon...i hope i like that one too!
I think your lashes look nice here. HUmmm Ok so it is a no way for 2000 calories???? - thanks for saving me some $$$$$$

Beauty Talk--> Really? I've really only played around with their mascaras. Why don't you like them? Tell meeee! ;)
Sara--> I've heard good things about the bigger one!
Ladebelle--> And I still haven't tried BadGal. Yikes! I need to hop to it. I wasn't an enormous fan of UD's colored mascaras. It was a bit stinky and the formula wasn't that hot. But the color was amazing! I hope they work a little better this go round.
PJD--> Well, what can I say? You're always lookin' out for me. LOL!
Thanks for saving me some money!
Hey thanks for your review, do you know that the Max Factor sales lady over the weekend was selling me this? Thanks to your honest review, i was able to steer away :D Muwah :x
Max Factor has always been a no go for me. Thanks for the review.
I love mascara, it one of my everyday items that I wear. The Mascara that I have had the best luck with is Loreal Volume Shocking Mascara. For me this is the best mascara ever! I will not buy anything else.
Hmm, any luck with finding extreme plumper - I'm waiting to get it and I'm hoping it's better than last blast. Hope you find it (and review it) soon! :)
