Thank you to Chick Advisor for sending me this product to review! I'm always on the lookout for a new mascara to try, I just love them. Since I love the look of false lashes, but feel that they can be uncomfortable, I thought that Maybelline's "The Falsies" Mascara could be the answer.

Well, not exactly. There are some good things and some bad things about this mascara, overall it is an OK product.

1.) First of all, the purple and light blue packaging is super-cute!

2.) I LOVE how it is very very black. I always buy mascara in the blackest colour that they offer, but this was definitely darker than all my other mascaras.

3.) I don't like the brush very much at all. I find that it is big and hard to work with. Also, I feel like it clumps my lashes together. I feel like this mascara has a good formula, but the problem is the brush. When I applied it my lashes would clump together and no matter how I moved around the brush I couldn't find a way to apply it so they wouldn't do this. Which is a shame, because I feel like the volumizing ability of this mascara would be great if they had paired it with a different brush.

So, what I do to solve this problem:

I apply a pretty thick coat of The Falsies, and while it is still wet I comb it through with the brush from my other mascara (Lash Blast Length works well). I find that this way, I can get the benefits from The Falsies formula, with great separation from the other brush.

When applied this way, The Falsies adds volume. length and great dark-black colour. So if you are willing to take the time to use a separate brush, I recommend this mascara to you. But otherwise, I would not recommend it.

I am always on the look out for a great mascara, and as a matter of fact, my makeup bag is full of them! When I saw the advertisement for Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara, I was excited to try it. I was even more excited when I was chosen to sample this product from Chick Advisor.

Well, overall the mascara isn’t bad – if you take the steps to ensure proper coverage. My first few times using it – honestly I didn’t really care for it at all. I found it time consuming, clumpy, and hard to apply. But I continued using it, and the more I did the more I liked it. Also, the mascara didn’t not flake or smudge – which is a bonus.

The packaging is great – and the spoon shaped bristle brush is unique. It does actually grab onto the lashes and provides good coverage and some lift. I didn’t like the fact that the stem/arm of the brush had a little bend in the middle, which I found annoying. There was no resistance allowing you to pull the lashes up because the stem would move as well.

I found that the mascara is very wet. I had to scrape a lot off of the brush before applying. I found that if you applied right out of the tube, it clumped my lashes because there is too much product on the brush.

I did find however, that one coat is not enough. A single coat will provide you only with a very natural look – which is great because you could use this mascara with your usual daytime makeup. I had to apply about 2-3 coats, allowing the mascara to dry somewhat in between coats to get the look I was hoping to achieve. Quite time consuming, but worth it if you have the extra time. To get an even longer looking, fuller lashes, I would recommend using an eyelash curler before applying the mascara to give you a more wide eyed look. Still the end result did not leave me with “falsie” lashes, but it did improve the volume and length.

Overall – not a bad product. If the formula wasn’t so wet – I believe it would apply better.

Would I buy it again or recommend? Sure, if the price is right, but I wouldn’t recommend if you want dramatic results – it is a good volumizing mascara but you don’t get the same look that you would from false lashes.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a tube of Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara to review and coupons to share with friends, family, co-workers.

The highly pigmented, and rich pro-keratin fibre formula significantly lengthened my lashes and provide noticeable volume. In my opinion, this mascara adds more length than volume. I have yet to find any other mascara that lengthens as well as The Falsies, but I have had achieved better volume with Maybelline’s XXL Pro Volume Mascara.

My next amazement was the technology behind the brush. The curved brush was able to grab every single eyelash (yes, including the baby lashes) and fan out my lashes. Finally, I’m very happy that the product is long-wearing; I did not experience any flaking, smudging or clumping. In other words, this mascara has lasted through intensive physical activity (i.e. running), heat, and humidity.

Despite applying several coats of the product on I wasn't able to achieve the 'false lashes look' or anything close with this mascara. However, the product was not a total disappointment for me. I intend on purchasing this mascara in the future and I have already recommended this product to several friends. This is my favorite mascara on the market that I have stumbled upon.

I LOVE this mascara! It gave my lashes instant volume and length. I look for mascaras that provide thick, full, voluminous lashes and this product certainly met my expectations. I love how full my lashes looked with only one sweep of the wand.

The mascara brush is termed a “spoon brush” which means that it is curved. This allowed the mascara to be easily applied to all lashes including the hard to reach lashes. The wand is flexible and although my personal preference is to have a stiff brush, I was able to easily apply the mascara without difficulty. I did notice that the mascara was slightly clumpy but no more so than any other mascara I have tried. I still found the mascara effective despite the slight clumpiness.

The mascara lasted all day and looked just as good at the end of the day as it did in the beginning. I experienced no flaking of the product throughout the day. The mascara is washable and I could easily remove it with soap and water. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to others and I would purchase it in the future. In fact, it has quickly become my new favorite mascara.

Thank you to the "Product Review Club" for letting me review this Mascara.
Overall I quite liked it.
I really liked the curved angle of the brush, it made it easy to apply the mascara.
The Mascara bottle was also quite nice, love the purple colour!
The texture of the Mascara was nice, not too heavy or gunky. It did not take too long to dry either. For thicker looking lashes I put on a few extra coats. I did not however feel like the end result looked like 'false eyelashes'. This mascara does a really nice job of accentuating my eyes combined with an eyeliner/eyepencil.
What I especially liked about it is that it was easy to clean. I hate makeup that is gunky and sticks behind on my skin even after I have scrubbed and cleansed well. The 'Falsies Mascara' cleans out really well and does not leave any residue behind.
Overall I think this Mascara is a good buy for those who are looking for a nice light mascara for everyday use but I certainly would not recommend it for someone who is looking for dramatic results.

liked how it made my lashes look..but found it took tolong to dry and smudged easy. Would reuse again but not be my top choice for mascara

I received this product as a member of the ChickAdvisor review club. I was really excited to try the
Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara.
I was very impressed right from the first application. It went on smoothly and without clumps. The spoon shaped brush was very easy to use with very little if any smudging on my eyelid (which happens a lot to me). On the second coat I was surprised at how it didn't clump at all and it made my lashes look so long... and I would say almost a false appearance. I have never worn false lashes but I would think they would be a bit different. One thing this mascara did do for me that none others do was make them curl a little before the curler even came out!! My lashes are so straight naturally so this is great.
I actually love the fact that this mascara ended up being less over the top than I thought it would be. With how easy it is to apply with great results it is great for work.
I am giving out these coupons to friends and family and highly recommending this mascara. It is my new fave!

First of all, thank you to the PRC for sending me a sample of this product. I love mascaras, and was excited to be one of the reviewers for the Falsies. Here's the details:

The mascara comes in a bright pink tube and is easily spotted in your makeup bag. The brush has a nice curve and curls your lashes really well. However, because the brush is pretty big, I had a hard time using it in the corners. The mascara dries very quickly, and I didn't end up smudging it when I opened my eyes.

Did it look like I had fake lashes on? No. I found that the product helped the length, but did not do much for the volume. The lashes were separated well, and the over all effect was good, but it gave me more of a daytime look than a false lash, evening look. I even tried putting on multiple coats, but that didn't help.

With that said, I do really like the mascara and use it almost every day. I will most likely pick up another tube when this one is finished.

I have been using this mascara for the past week and have been pretty impressed! Although it doesn't give me the 'falsies' look, it lengthens very well. I have pretty long and straight lashes (i'm asian) and it worked well. I usually go for fatter brushes (collosal, rimmel max volume, etc) but this definitely gave me that oomph look. One con for this was that I found it to be slightly watery - almost like collosal when you first open it. I'm sure once it dries out a bit I'm sure it will work better to my taste :)

I was lucky enough to be sent this product to review from the ChickAdvisor review club. I was really excited about trying this mascara and I probably would have ended up buying it anyways. (I really love my mascaras).
I have to start off by saying this is my favourite mascara BY FAR and I have a lot of them - Loreal, Maybelline, CoverGirl, etc. I find that the Falsies wears well throughout the day so it doesn't really smudge or flake off very much. It does occasionally in rainy weather I have found, but overall it lasts all day.
I like the brush very much, the mascara wand makes it very easy to apply and the formula doesn't clump - it's actually quite liquidy I think - so I am able to really coat each lash. I think that it's also great because it helps my lashes stay curled and look much longer than my other mascaras.
Does it make me look like I'm wearing false lashes? Well, obviously not. :) I find that it's not the greatest thickening mascara by any means, but the length that it gives my lashes really makes up for it.
Overall, it's my fave one yet and I've tried a whole lot of 'em.
