    I already have fairly long lashes, but that extra boost always goes the long way! I decided to spend a bit extra on my mascara this time around, and chose this one. I found that it did make a nice difference in the length and the volume of my eyelashes, but the only thing that bugged me about it, was the smell! It has a very chemically smell that sort of follows you around all day. It was all that I could smell all day when I would wear it. Im not sure if its because of the waterproofing, or what but the smell just got to me. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for longer, fuller lashes, who can handle the scent :P

    I was very disappointed with this product, it clumped and I didn't like the smell or how it made my eyelashes look/feel. I was really looking forward to this product until I tried it.

    I was super excited to give this mascara a try, I always have to have the newest ones to come out and honestly I wasnt overly impressed. My eyelashes in no way looked any better, it is a very thick formula that I had problems applying it clumped super bad but the brush is pretty good at getting all ur lashes, it stayed put throughout the day so other then clumping I had no problems with it. It is not my fav by and means but itll do until i find a new one.

    Ugh! I spent days and tons of make-up remover trying to get this cement off my lashes! I was so excited to try this out, such a disappointment! It's clumpy and dried rock hard.

    Loved the idea, but it clumped easily. I really don't enjoy flakey, clumped mascara.

    So let me preface this by saying that I am a drugstore mascara fiend, if there's one makeup product that can solely and quickly enhance a bare face, I'd say mascara hands down. I'm interested in trying out the latest and or old favorites that are available at the drugstore, because, at least for now, I can't justify purchasing a ~$25 tube of mascara only to have it dry up or go bad in 2 months or so. I have not been blessed with beautiful lashes so you can imagine my disappointment every time a mascara does not live up to its hype/claim. Okay so on to this review, I will be in the minority here and say that this mascara is not what I would call an all time fave. It holds a curl fairly well, the scent is not repulsive, but it is clumpy and the formula too wet for my liking. I'd like to think the fault is also in the brush which picks up way too much product and thus results in a goopy mess. It is quite buildable and creates instant volume, so I can see why they'd name it the "falsies", but personally it more often then not looks spidery, not a good look.

    Not the worst drugstore mascara, and if used sparingly and with time it is alright, but given all the praise this mascara's been given, I'd say not quite praiseworthy.

    I'm starting to think I have ridiculously high expectations when it comes to mascara, as I'm yet to come across one I like. Asides from clumping my eyelashes together and making them black this does absolutely nothing for my lashes. It doesn't make them look long or like "falsies," at all. Very disappointing.

    I swear I buy every brand of Mascara out there! I decided to pick this one up on a recommendation of a friend.
    This mascara is super thick, sticks lashes together and just feels heavy and cakey.

    The worst part about it was that the contents dry up rather fast, and the brush becomes useless.

    I got this mascara for free while shopping in a special event at Dynamite's, however I think the price is average ; I saw it for approximately 8$ in the stores. Until very recently, I changed mascara everytime I had to buy one so I was very happy to try a new one... How disappointed I was! I have to tell you first that I love to wear very black mascara but I like it to look natural, so I prefer really "light" ones. With the falsies, my first impression was that the product is very thick - all my eyelashes were stuck together. The volum express part is true : wearing this mascara is like putting your eyelashes into "bold" mode. Definitely, this product is not for me and I do not recommend it!

    Bought because I have Short eyelashes and wanted them to look long and full and all it did was make them clumpy and look messy. Gave to a friend with long eyelashes and worked great for her.
