Max Factor Lash Perfection Volume Couture Review


I am loving this Max Factor Lash Perfection Volume Couture in soft black. I have complained to anyone that would listen about the state of my lashes. They are short, stumpy, sparse and straight.
They bring me nothing but grief.

Lately I have been smitten with Chanel's Initmitable mascara. The cutting edge brush gives me the seperation I crave along with some much needed oomph.
It is a fairly expensive mascara so I am thrilled that there is a drugstore alternative.

This new Max Factor mascara has a very similiar brush to the Chanel. They call it iFX Brush technology with volumizing micro channels. This sounds very sci-fi. In simple terms it has less bristles than a traditional wand. The Max Factor and Chanel bristles are made from a heavy duty rubber. This is the trick to their strength. These brushes separate lashes like no one's business.

The Max Factor mascara formula is less dramatic than the Chanel. This might be due to the fact that I am testing the soft black instead of the rich black color.
No one seems to able to top or match that great inky color of Shu Uemura.
I am thinking that I am going to dip my Chanel brush into my Shu mascara and see what happens.

If you tried this new Max Factor let me know your thoughts in the comments.

The Max Factor mascara is available on Drugstore.com for the discounted price of $5.59

FINALLY! someone who loves shu mascara as much as me. i like just the basic as well... it's great to layer and when my eyes water, it doesn't run (like my beloved great lash).

I'm a big fan of Max Factor's mascaras -- the Stretch & Separate is my every day. Very interested to see what happens when you swap wands & colors -- let us know.

In the past I've had problems with Max Factor's Mascaras flaking and smearing very easily. Have you noticed this problem with the new version?

My comment is not about Mascara, but about how to improve your eyelashes Annie. Since i have started using Dermalogica Intensive Eye my lashes have grown slightly (not hugely) in length. Not thicker, and its not a HUGE difference. But all my mates have noticed it. Also its not overnite, it takes a few good months.Give it a good try and you will also see what I mean, as a few of my mates have also seen a difference. Seriously this is voodoo eye cream!

Girl: I love Shu mascara!!! I have the basic and the Fiber Xtension mascara.

Shannon: I am very impressed. It is the best drugstore mascara I have ever tried. I thought no one could top Rimmel...but I was wrong.

Jane: Thank you!
This is a great deal.

Stylespy: It is my project for tomorrow.

Christine: No flakes or clumps with this one. It is pretty much mess free.

Sita: You had me at Voodoo.
I just tried a great Dermalogica product called Multi Active Toner that was very impressive. It is part toner/moisturizer. It feels amazing.

I will have to check this lash miracle grow and see if it works for me.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!!
