Almay One Coat Mascara

Only Takes One Application of This Mascara

Valerie C
I have used many beauty products: from moisturizers to eye pencils; from cheap to very expensive, and the one thing I have a difficult time going without is mascara. Here again, I have used very expensive kinds of mascara: LancĂ´me, Clinique, Clarins, Estee Lauder, and I haven't found them to be any better than department store brands. I have also used the cheap kinds: Maybelline, Cover Girl, Rimmel, Max Factor, and found most of these didn't do what I wanted them to do.

I always look for mascara that coats my lashes good, is waterproof, doesn't flake, and stays put. I hate it when mascara runs down my face ending up making me look like I just crawled out of the crypt because of all the black under my eyes. The only one I've found that stays on is Almay One Coat Mascara.

Almay One Coat Mascara's name pretty much says it all. It's waterproof (even in the shower) it doesn't flake off throughout the day (I've had it on for over 24 hours at a time) and it coats lashes with a thick layer of mascara the first time. It doesn't need to be reapplied several times like a lot of brands do.

Almay One Coat Mascara has five different kinds of mascara in this particular line depending on an individuals wants and needs in a mascara.

One Coat Triple Effect
This mascara is designed to thicken, lengthen, and curl lashes. It has an exclusive brush called the Triple Impact Brush that fully coats lashes evenly for a full, long, thick look.

One Coat Triple Effect Waterproof Mascara
This is like the one mentioned above except it's waterproof.

One Coat Nourishing Mascara Thickening
This is one of Almay's mascara's that thickens while nourishing lashes with aloe and Vitamin B5, and is the one I use (it does lengthen lashes too)

One Coat Nourishing Mascara Waterproof
This one is similar to the nourishing mascara with the thickening formula with the exception that this one is waterproof.

One Coat Nourishing Mascara Lengthening
This one has the same great quality of the other mascaras in this line, but is formulated specifically for lengthening lashes.

Colors
Almay doesn't come in a lot of colors preferring to stick with the basics: Black, Soft Black, and Brown are the colors these mascaras come in. But whatever color you choose, it will only take one application for you to see what sets this mascara apart from the rest.

    I have used Max Factor 2000 Lash for years. In the past few mos, I cannot find it anymore. I have tried various others, but am having not luck. I end up with more under my eyes than on them. What is up? What was it about MF2000 that made it so different? Anyone know?
