MAX FACTOR 2000 Calorie Mascara  I already featured this in my last monthly favourites under "good first impressions" together with two other mascaras and this is the one that became my every day pick. It got even better with time and this is definitely the type of mascara I love most - not overly dramatic like Essence mascaras can be, but it still...

I got this a while ago and I haven't worn it much because Max Factor's Color Elixir Gloss came in the same parcel and I love that one more, but this is also a good lipgloss formula, it's just a bit thicker. I believe this formula exists in only five shades and this is the lightest. Texture: It's one of those glosses with...
