I am a mascara fanatic. I want a mascara that will give me crazy long and thick lashes, won't clump, won't streak or flake, and won't look spidery. I want one that also comes off easily when I want to remove it and doesn't irritate my eyes. I'm not asking for much, am I? I have found a number of mascaras that I liked but that didn't fit all my criteria. After hearing about and reading reviews of Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara, I had to try it. But $15 for a drugstore mascara? Ouch!I bought it anyway and was very eager to try it. The tube is thick but the brush is almost like a comb. It isn't a huge brush but it is fairly substantial with short comb-like bristles. The formula is not watery or messy. I didn't apply primer the first time I tried it because I wanted to see how the mascara performed alone. The first coat was decent, nothing special. Three coats in, I did have longer looking eyelashes. They were darker and a bit thicker. I didn't get a lot of volume with the mascara which is often the case with me. I have straight, medium length lashes that are thin and need to be plumped up. This mascara did give me enough volume so that my lashes didn't look like spidery sticks. However, I did not look like I had false lashes on nor did I find the mascara to be that much better than a couple of cheaper drugstore mascaras and and definitely not better than pricier ones like They're Real and DiorShow.This mascara doesn't flake throughout the day and it holds up well. I have allergies and sometimes my eyes water a bit and the mascara didn't run. That is not to say it is waterproof or even water resistant but it doesn't run down my face if my eyes tear up a little. If it gave me a bit more volume, I would really like this. It is clump free even with numerous coats which is a real plus. I HATE clumps!The mascara washes off with my facial cleanser or eye makeup remover and doesn't irritate my eyes at all. I do think it is a BIT pricey for the results but I have been wearing it and a few people have remarked that my lashes are "so long". That's a testament to the mascara because my lashes are NOT long.In all, I am going with 4 stars. I wasn't blown away but it takes a LOT to blow me away and only a couple of mascaras ever have (but clearly not enough for me to stop looking for even better results). For the price point, this mascara delivers well although I think it's a tad pricey compared to other drugstore mascaras that work well like Covergirl's LashExact which is around $7.00 and gives comparative results. I would go with 3.5 stars but can't so I went to 4. If you are looking for a mascara that lengthens, darkens, and adds some volume and that isn't clumpy, this is a good choice. It may be a GREAT choice for those who don't demand so much from a mascara like I do.Este producto lo compre como un regalo… alguien me pidió que se lo regalara y ella quedó muy contenta y satisfecha con el. Yo nunca lo he probado pero a la persona que se lo di le encanto, pues ella es sensible a ciertas máscaras y está es la única que lo podía usar. Llego justo a tiempo lo único es que según la describo por lo que yo entendí eran dos y solo uno me llegó luego a Alize que puede que se refieran a la parte del peine de las pestañas y al producto en si… es lo único que puedo pensar. Por esa razón creo que el precio fue bastante caro para haberme enviado sólo uno.Smooth application, fair price, good productI purchased this mascara after watching an online makeup tutorial (the person doing the tutorial does celebrity makeup). I have purchased just about every brand of mascara, ranging from just a few dollars, to close to fifty (yes, embarrassingly, I've paid that much before for certain French-made mascaras with popular well known manufacturers). But I was never quite satisfied. Either it didn't last all day (heavy smuding under eyes, flaking, etc.), or it immediately clumped. So I decided what the heck - I'd try this since it came with such a wonderful recommendation from a well known makeup artist. Max Factor isn't sold in the U.S. any longer apparently, but I managed to find it on Amazon. When it came, I tried it immediately. First of all, I noticed there was no scent, which was nice. It glided on smoothly. It separated the lashes and lengthened them - to my amazement. A product that actually reflects what's in its name?? Yes! It does give a false lash effect, but in a more believable way, in my opinion. I don't think anyone would think I am wearing false lashes - just that I have incredibly long lashes (which I do NOT, btw). But with this mascara, it certainly looks like I do. Which is the point, right? The very first day I wore it to work, I had someone comment that I looked so good that day - and that I looked 'refreshed.' It really opens up my eyes. I wear it without eyeliner most days and it just looks great. I've slept in my makeup since buying this product, and it does smudge some, but that is to be expected. But I swear to you that it STILL looks good. No flaking under my eyes, just a soft smudge under my eyes that almost looks (dare I say?)... good. When I do properly remove my eye makeup, this mascara comes off like a dream with no heavy tugging. This is without a doubt the best mascara I have ever used. It's a reasonable cost, goes on smoothly, separates lashes, lengthens lashes, lasts all day, doesn't clump, doesn't flake, and comes off with ease. What else could anyone ask for?Mascara delivered with a terrible smell, dry and half empty. Mascara was unpacked and the expiration date of the goods was not specified. Please return the money or deliver the goods of the required quality.Do not buy - arrived twice without any packaging or tamper seal. Just loose opened mascara. Unhygienic and could contain anything. No way or knowing if it’s a genuine product or what has been put in there. First time thought it was a genuine error but was replaced by amazon and arrived exactly the same. Buyer beware!Not a genuine product, unsealed, dodgy label, it's a fake. No returns either. Do not buy.This is the worst thing I have ever received, in fact I don’t think I have ever complained before during all the years I have bought from you. I bought this for my wife, it is dried up and obviously has been Opened and used for a long time. I know it was very cheap but I did think it would have some life in it still! Sorry about that but I thought you ought to knowI've been using this mascara for at least 5 years despite trying at least 10 other types of mascara.Why do I love this one so much: it's water based so easy to remove without needing make up remover. the brush makes it really easy to apply and it makes my lashes look both fuller and longer, it lasts through out the day provided you bear in mind it's not waterproof.Downsides: only one is that it's not waterproof so if you cry, you'll have massive panda eyes.If you're like me and make sure that you create a line along the skin at the base of the lashes, with this mascara i can just a slightly damp cotton bud to remove any blurring i create accident. not many other mascaras that are that easy to fine tune or remove but last well at the same time
