I purchased the Max Factor Volume couture mascara on a whim. I hadn't had much success with any mascara--drugstore or department store--so I figured it was best to purchase a mascara that was reasonably priced.

The Volume couture brush is called iFX; it claims to deliver lash definition and volume. I was skeptical of the brush being any better than ordinary mascara wands, but I must say the results proved me wrong!

The mascara is thick, so make sure to wipe off the excess before applying it. The iFX brush truly does separate and define the lashes. Sometimes with ordinary brushes all of my lashes...
