Hi there,
I've recently come from Canada and I am shocked that I can't find my favourite Mascara here in Hong Kong.
Can anyone please tell me where I can buy "2000 Calorie" Mascara here?

Why should you be shocked that a small territory on the other side of the world might not import one particular Canadian product? I suspect there are millions of Canadian products that are not available here. If these really bothers you then frankly the expat life is not for you. There is hardly a shortage of mascara products to choose from here.
But just so you don't die of the shock, it clearly is available here. The price is apparently $68.

Are you always this harsh on everyone?
Maxfactor is a mainstream brand sold around the world. I just thought that a country as modern and fashionable as Hong Kong would sell the product. Hong Kong may be small in size, but it is a well known place on the map and beyond large in many other ways.
Also, this country makes adjusting to expat life very easy. I am sorry you feel as though you need to kick someone out just because of asking a question in the manner it was presented.
By the way, you should try the mascara, maybe it will open your eyes a little!

I saw it at the Watson's in Causeway Bay yesterday. The one directly opposite G2000 Black Label at Causeway Bay MTR Exit F. It's on 2nd level @ Watson's. Hope this helps.
And yes it is HKD68.
You could also try Sogo; I believe there is a Max Factor counter there.
BTW, Hong Kong is still a city; our quest for independence before 1997 came to nowt...
I went to the Watsons in Causeway Bay and found it there.
Thank you so much for your help =)
I thought I would find it in Sogo, but no luck.
By the way, I have tried many other mascaras and it is by far the best!

Am tempted to try. Have been using Fasio all along, quite happy with it.
Might have a go with it myself. Always on the lookout for a good mascara and at $68 is cheap enough not to worry about wasting money.
rubilashafiq, btw products here are for the local market. I know many expats get frustrated because of that fact. For whatever reason many expect HK to be exactly the same as "home". I had a similar problem as I used to use Mac Cosmetics which were available here. But Mac decided that certain colours were not suitable for Asian skin colouring - perfect for Caucasian colouring though - so they stopped selling them here! And don't get me started on Tampax when they stopped selling their products here!
Anyway, this mascara isn't waterproof, right? I don't like waterproof.
