2,000 Calories from Max Factor

Eyes bigger than your stomach? Not a problem! Max Factor will help you pump up the pretty while keeping your waist slim with their latest mascara: 2,000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper.

Normally, I’m totally skeptical when I read about ANY sort of plumping–at least when it comes to cosmetics, as I totally believe it if you’re talking about my hips! However, Max Factor’s Extreme Mascara is anything but disappointing! I tried it last night as was totally satisfied… Although I still could have gone for a piece of cake.

Part of this mascara’s success is due to the patented fat-wrap brush. The flexible plastic bristles are numerous, in order to ensure that every lash gets coated. In fact, it has 67% more bristles than Max Factor’s Volume Couture Mascara (which I wrote about here) and a 25% bigger core. One coat is gorgeous, but two? Sky high lashes and bigger looking eyes! I’m obsessed with wearing two types of mascara at once, so I’m looking for a partner for this baby (perhaps something low cal?). However, the length and volume of lashes this formulation delivers totally rocks on its own!

And, just a few more bites… the formulation is hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about your sensitive or contact-covered eyes being irritated. It comes off easily, but doesn’t flake or smudge until you’re ready to remove it. Plus, you’ve got three shades to choose from: Extreme Blackout (my favorite), Black Velvet, and Blackest Brown (the first & last shades are also available in a waterproof formula).

Pick yours up at a local Walmart, Ulta, or check out Max Factor online. Average retail price is a very affordable $9.98.
