The mascara tube was great because it locks...However, it was pretty dry when I bought it. Also, it irritated my eyes really badly! All it did was give me decent length, but no volume.

I'm not sure if the straight brush is better, but I tried this one for the first time thinking a curved brush would somehow be better. First off, the tube was mostly dried out. The brush is also...

The curve of the brush is quite small and not shaped right so that it doesn't fit properly under my lashes to give them a decent coating.

I absolutely love this mascara! The consistency is just right -- not too runny and not thick. If I use mascaras that are too thin and liquidy, I always end up smearing my mascara into my eyelids...

I think this mascara is ok. It didn't give me as much volume & length as I have expected, and it definitely does not hold a curl well. I love the MF Volume Couture which does everything that the...

I can't really comment on the facelifted packaging of this product, since I'm reviewing an older version of this. But as far as I can see everything else, including formula and brush, is the same...

I've used the regular 2000 Calorie before and I liked it, so I thought I would try the curved brush version. I think there's a flaw or something with the design of the brush--it comes out with...

There are other mascaras out there which are better for the same price. Just an average mascara for day to day use. Does not smudge even if its not water proof and very easy to wash off at night....

I'm really surprised by all the terrible/mediocre reviews for this--I actually really like it. It's my go-to mascara lately, and I've repurchased this twice now. It makes my lashes look thicker...

I'm a mascara whore! Of all the makeup I buy I really enjoy finding the "it" mascara and I've pretty much used them all (drugstore brands only though). The ideal mascara for me is one that thickens...

This is so bad! I tried the original 2000 calorie mascara once, and that was okay. Not the best i have tried, but not the worst either. This version, with the curved brush on the other hand, is one...
