I have used many expensive mascaras that fell short to their claims of greatness. I have used Marathon mascara for many, many years. It is waterproof, sweatproof and greasy eyelid proof. It does not off till you take it off with baby oil or mascara remover. Soap and water does not work. That's what I love about this mascara. I put it and days later after lots of showers, it's still on. LOVE this mascara! It has been discontinued because Covergirl is not interested in mascara that lasts forever. Covergirl is this business to make money. So that's why I have to pay 3 times as much on Ebay than if I were to buy it in the store...if it were still available.
This is the only true waterproof mascara I've EVER found (and it was very inexpensive!).....used it for 25+ years before Cover Girl discontinued it. I have to use cold creme to remove it, but what else should you expect for waterproof mascara that actually works? I was on the fence about the "good value" question only because I hate paying this much for mascara, but I probably wasted more money on buying countless others, most of which I wound up throwing away after only a couple of uses. CG, bring it back!!!!

I've used Cover Girl Marathon Mascara for 20 + Years. It is the ONLY Utterly Bulletproof Mascara I have EVER Used! I put it on and go about my business, 12 + hour work days, Swimming, Snorkeling, Walking in the Rain. NEVER Raccoon eyes! I remove it easily with a cotton ball and olive oil. So, of course, Cover Girl, in their wisdom, decided to discontinue this fabulous mascara without offering any viable alternative. I tried several other Cover Girl Mascaras, hoping to find one with the same formulation. EVERY SINGLE ONE, supposedly waterproof, RACCOON EYES WITHIN THE HOUR! Big $$$ in the trash can, where they belonged! The only other mascara that I've found even close to the lasting power of Marathon Mascara is Lancome Definicil's Mascara at about $30 a tube. So now I'm paying $10 - $12 a tube on eBay for it. And I will continue to do so as long as it is available. Marathon Mascara is well worth it.Read full review
Beauty products are the #1 selling item in America. That's understandable because we want to look our best! The best thickening mascara that keeps your lashes curly is CoverGirl's Marathon mascara. I use an eyelash curler and sweep the brush perpendicularly to the lashes...first the tips, then the base (tilt your head a little backwards to get to the base of your lashes). I finish off with the middle section. Bad news is that after 10+ years of using this product, they've discontinued it! The price on ebay went from ~$8 to ~$20 in a matter of weeks...but it's so worth it. I've tried other mascaras and nothing comes close...not even the department store brands. I love this product so much, I emailed the company and tried to convince them to change the packaging and name - not to totally discontinue it. If you want the best possible curly lashes, use a curler then use this mascara. It's simply the best.Read full review
