Review: Maxfactor 2000 calorie mascara

-
 Holy moly! Another beauty review!
And I swear I'm not hating it!

So. I don't have a thing with mascara.
I have pretty much sensitive eyes and
it gets itchy, teary and red, and I just
can't resist it but to rub my eyes. And
you see people thinking that this girl got
ditched, these panda-eyes as results for
rubbing are not flattering at all. So I
tend to leave my eyes blank.

Cheap make-up somehow does not
like my eyes either. I definitely need
good products with minimum chemical
ingredients.

Today I'll be reviewing the Maxfactor 2000
Calorie "DRAMATIC VOLUME" mascara that I got it
 from Sue's giveaway!

CLAIMS: to be 300% volume-adding and smudgeproof. Maybe I can rub my eyes with ease now?


Volume: ♥♥♥♥• 4/5 I think the 300% is abit overrated. Other than that, I think it really volumized my lashes!
Smudgeproof: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5/5 after letting it dry for 3-5 minutes, rubbed my eyes and no smudges were noticed! 

Top: price, volume, 2 colors (black/brown), quite easy to remove with water and soap
Con: eyes got irritated at end of the day, smells chemically, dries pretty quick so need to apply fast

    i didn't like this one very much, because it was somehow too thick and tend to get very clumpy, especially after u have used it for a while (maybe bc it dries very fast?) ...in general, i find most mascaras that promise extensive volume tend to create those clumpy lashes =/

    i've been using the max factor masterpiece waterproof for many many years now, and i love how it gives volume and also defined lashes :)

    Same problem here haha ja wat is mascara een irritant iets voor aziatische ogen haha.
    Ik kies zelf liever voor de eyeliner dan de mascara, maar het kan wel op z'n tijd.
    Leuke review!

    I like the curl it gives! I'm deathly afraid of eyelash curlers so I'm always on the lookout for a mascara that curls :') I tend to not put mascara on the bottom lashes since they always seem to smudge there > <

    Hooray for beauty posts! I am starting to hoard mascaras (eeeek), so maybe I'll buy this. It looks great on your lashes! Won't hurt to try some more natural beauty products, but there aren't so many out there it seems.

    Oh sweetie this mascara has a big volume to your lashes. It´s a cool product I don´t feel lucky with the las mascaras because they´re don don´t have a big volume to my eyeslashes. Many thanks for share with us this review.

    nyaaaa I totally know what you mean with the eye rubbing thing :D I love to rub my eyes too and it's definitely a downside of mascara that you can't do it.. You look pretty in that jumper Mei~ The cherries are so cute! Love the packaging of the mascara. it looks much better that the fat one I have.. lol

    This mascara defines your lashes very well. Too bad it irritates your eyes >-< I don't understand why beauty brands always exaggerate the claims of mascaras -.-"

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas!

DIY: Crochet Miniature Cinnamon Rolls

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
