I got the chance to try Falsies through the Product Review club and I thought I'd copy and paste the questions from the email so I don't miss anything:

1. How did you like this product on its own merits? (eg. ease of use, wear, etc)
Out of all the bristle brushes I've ever used, this was my favourite. It's flat on two sides, which gives you options when applying. However, I found the consistency of the mascara to be a bit watery. It's like it wasn't strong enough to hold my eyelashes in place. Even after some major curling with an eyelash curler, the weight of the formula paired with its wateriness just weighed down my lashes and made them nearly invisible. I have very short, straight lashes by nature and I've always had a hard time finding a mascara that gave them a wow factor, and this definitely isn't one of them. I think that with time as the mascara dries out a bit it might be more effective. Also, I've always found the waterproof versions to be better for holding curl as they're usually a little thicker and tackier in consistency. Maybe I'll look for the waterproof Falsies next time I'm out.

2. How does this mascara compare to wearing false eyelashes?
I love the look of false lashes, but I've never been able to apply them properly so by default my vote falls with the mascara.

3. How does this mascara compare to your usual volumizing mascara?
I found that I was thoroughly unimpressed with how short and stubby they ended up looking. I've been using Cover Girl's Lash Blast for about a year now, and this didn't even come close. After using the plastic brush that comes with Cover Girl's mascaras, I find it very hard to go back to a bristle brush, even if it is the best one I've come across. Also, the consistency of this mascara didn't work with my fine lashes. It was too watery and heavy to plump them up.

4. Would you buy this product again and/or recommend it to a friend?
No, I don't think so.

I got to try this product and I found it to be okay , i have tried better and tried many alot worst. my rating of this product would be average.

I have to say, that this mascara is very average. I think Maybelline is a really good mascara company, but in my opinion, this is not one of their better ones.

The packaging (and purple tube) is really pretty and girly, and unlike the Colossal, the scent is very mild, which is actually nice.

I don't think it compares whatsoever with REAL false eyelashes, but it is a good volumizing mascara. Just because I think it's average though, doesn't mean I don't think it would be perfect for someone else.

I like my eyelashes long, dark, dramatic, and hard. In order to get the look that I like, I had to put SOOO many coats of it, and at that rate, the tube would be empty in a week. I think this mascara would be perfect for someone who wants to go up one level from the "natural mascara look". It adds a bit of the dramatic look, but not over the top.

If you don't want a very dramatic look, I think this mascara is great for you :)

I received a copy of this for the product preview. I was really excited to try this item as Maybelline tends to have really great mascaras.

My expectations weren't exactly met. It did end up going on very smooth, and dark, but I did find some clumping together, and it was wet going on, so you had to be careful not to get it anywhere else.

It came off really easily when washing my face, but that just scared me about getting caught in the rain.

I was a little disappointed in this mascara, and don't know that this would be a must have in my makeup bag.

I have been searching for a new favourite mascara for several months. Unfortunately Maybelline New York The Falsies isn't going to be it.

I really, really want to love Maybelline mascaras. But there's always something that prevents me from loving any Maybelline mascara--either clumping, smell or ineffectiveness. This is the best Maybelline mascara I have tried so far, but I still won't be buying it.

I didn't have an issue with smell, and I didn't experience any clumping, but I also didn't experience any volume. I have long, curly lashes but they are not very dark and not very thick. The Falsies lengthened my lashes even more, often leaving smears on my eyelids until it dried. (This is a common problem for me so I always apply my eyeshadow last, but it's still annoying to remove makeup as you put it on.) Unfortunately, the added length makes my lashes look even sparser than they are. On the plus side, I only experienced flaking once after applying several extra coats at the base of my lashes in an effort to make them look thicker.

The Falsies is oh-so-close on so many levels. If it was just a bit better at thickening. If it was just a bit less effective at lengthening. If it was less intensely black and didn't look so fake. I want to love it, but it's just not quite there for me.

If a friend with thick but short lashes asked my opinion, I might recommend the Falsies to them. It's great at lengthening but it did not impress me with it's volume.

i thought this mascara was a disappointment. i did like the packaging - very fun - but otherwise, i'm not much of a fan. the wand seems too small for the tube so i had to scrape off at least half the mascara before i'd apply it (a pain in the neck) and i found the formula too wet and the first few apps were rather messy (no time for that). plus, unless i used a lash comb or brush, any more than one coat would clump and stick my lashes together (imagine tammy faye baker). nothing remarkable about this product. i'll persevere with the tube i bought but highly doubt i'll buy it again.

I received "The Falsies" mascara in black brown courtesy of the Product Review Club. I was really excited when I read positive initial reviews of this mascara, but I am really disappointed on how it performed on my own lashes.

First, a little background on my lashes: I have stick straight Asian lashes. My lashes aren't super short, but they lack volume and curl. Most non-waterproof mascaras do not hold the curl I get from my lash curler.

Now, on to the mascara. Where it excels is in the brush: the curved spoon-like brush really works best to reach to the tiniest of lashes in the inner corners of my eyes. I didn't experience any flaking or smudging throughout the day.

As far as the negatives go, I have a lot to say about The Falsies. First of all -- take note Maybelline! -- if you are trying to convince me that this'll give me that false lash like effect, you better send me the blackest black formula. I am a big fan of false lashes on myself, and this doesn't even come close. I found the formula to be okay -- a bit clumpy actually. Also, although there is still some semblance of a curl left after 2 coats of The Falsies, it is not enough for me to call it a curling mascara.

Compared to my usual volumizing mascara, L'Oreal Voluminous, I still prefer L'Oreal's mainly for its formula -- it is more wet so I find it easier to work with. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this mascara to a friend. I still prefer L'Oreal Voluminous when I am looking for a lot of volume for cheap.

Well, first of all I would like to thank for selecting me for this mascara. I received it last week and liked the packaging of the mascara.
Now the verdict. This mascara as it is advertised that will give you a look you are wearing false eyelashes is proved wrong. To get that look you have to have that great lashes or to wear actual falsies. I do not have very beautiful lashes so thought this mascara will be of help. But this mascara is like most other mascaras available. It does lengthens and give a bit of volume but not that oomph factor.
I am not sure about its price, so I just gave it a average rating on price scale. Quality and effectiveness is just average like other mascaras. It does not clump with one coat but as you add on it starts to clump. I like one thing about this mascara is that it is very easy to remove, you do not need harsh make up remover, just water and finger pressure will work as mentioned in directions on the packaging.
In short if you are looking for some dramatic results try other mascaras. This one is just an average and regular wear mascara. I do not say it is a waste but it just not lived to its promise of falsies.

This mascara was ok, doesn't wear out easy, but there was not too much volume. There also wasn't any clumping either tho! It's ok for every day office use though, but not for going out party wear. It however does not compare to wearing false eyelashes. My usual loreal mascara works better for a more dramatic look. I would recommend this only for day wear but there are tons of those out there.

Well, yet again, here's another hyped-up mascara product that doesn't deliver on it's promise. I had eagerly went and purchased this mascara (before finding out I was selected for the Product Review Panel) and actually wish I had waited to buy it so I wouldn't have wasted my money! You have to put an insane number of coats on to get any fullness at all (which isn't much by any standard) and it doesn't even come close to giving you the 'false lash look' that they tout. The only positive I have about 'The Falsies' is that is does stay on nice and doesn't easily smudge.

If you're looking for volume, this is definitely a mascara to pass by and spend your money on something else that actually works.
