I used Max Factor mascara every day until it no longer was available. It was wonderful! Never smeared, ran, or anything. Now that I can't get it anymore, I've switched to Cover Girl, which is part of the same company.
Did you not stock up at the Big Bird? They were selling MF for like 80% off. You can also probably get it online thru a Canadian site.
