OMG, I so had to review this!!!!! I have been using this mascara since I was in high school in 1993. I went away to Europe in 1995 for a year and couldn't find it anywhere. I use a new mascara about every 3 months and had to have my mom send me a care package with my 2000 Calorie in it. I read a book years ago "Don't go to the Makeup counter without me" where the author said that stores have to take back products if you don't think they work and this includes makeup, huge news to me. So for a few years I would try new mascaras that came out that claimed to lengthen and even curl your lashes and every single time I returned them. I don't have the shortest lashes but every other mascara just doesn't get me the same effect as Max Factor does. I credit the brush, I know some people find it far to large but for me it's perfect and I can only use the curved one, there is something about that brush. I have tried other mascaras with big curved brushes and they never held up. A few years back Max Factor stopped selling in Canada, I was heartbroken but managed to stock up a little before they all disappeared. Then my parents started going to the US to visit friends for Thanksgiving and I had my mom check Walmart to see if they were there. To my pure delight they had them and now every time someone goes to the US or I go myself I get a few tubes. And they are cheaper too in the US so that makes me even happier. I'm glad that so many people love this mascara but I wouldn't care if they didn't because it is my #1 product that I couldn't live without. I have stopped trying other mascaras, I know none will beat this one so I save myself the hassle of having to return them when they disappoint. -

I have very fine hair and have tried a variety of volumizing shampoos but this is my favourite. I find it hard to find the Volumology one but I've found that the Colorology one is just as good. Combined with my hair mousse it gives me a ton of volume and I have noticed a huge difference when I have used other shampoos while away from home, my hair was flat and that upset me. I find the price a little high and would only buy it if it was on sale and Shoppers regularly had great deals on it. Once I got introduced to the wonderful world of coupons last year I found the deal of a lifetime; Walmart had them on sale for $4, I had $3 coupons. I now have enough shampoo to last me well over a year ;) I also purchased a bunch of the Moisturology sprays, shampoos and conditoners as my best friend loves those so whenever she needs them she comes over and shops, I have more room than her :) A great product that I hope they never discontinue, so many of the products I have loved are no longer available in Canada :( -

I just used this last week, borrowed from a coworker because when I arrived at work I realized I had a bad stain on my shirt. She suggested I try it and have always wanted to so I gave it a shot. Well, first of all the product didn't work, the stain was still there after the product dried. The part that put me over the edge though was the SMELL!!!!! OMG, it was awful. I asked if the product was old and she said no and that that's what it always smelled like. I had to deal with that smell all day and it was awful. I'm planning on writing to the company to complain too, Tide laundry detergent smells so good, I figured this product would too but was a huge disappointment. I'm glad I didn't waste my money on it. -

My husband's uncle wears this and a few years ago when we were visiting I asked what he was wearing. My husband tried it and actually really liked it. He had been wearing Ralph Lauren Polo Sport and although I loved it I wanted him to try something different. So last year when I saw the CK One for $20 a bottle at Loblaws I scooped it up, infact got one for his dad too which we gave to him at Christmas and he really liked it too. I love that it has a light scent, I hate those overpowering musky colognes and this one actually complements the one that I wear, L'eau par Kenzo. -

I have been using these for year!!!!! I have combination skin so my forhead gets very oily and it's better to just blot away the oil rather than caking on more powder. Gets the shine off my nose too. I like that it doesn't leave a film behind, just takes away the shine. And I like that it is small enough to always have in your purse for when you need it. -
