I think I get some kind of rush from opening a new container of mascara. I know I'm crazy...some people have a shoe fetish but I have an eyelash fetish. I must admit that when I went to purchase this new mascara I went into it thinking that is was going to be a wasted purchase but I still wanted to try it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised from the first time that I used. I decided to try it out the first night I got it. As I applied it all I was thinking is "OK, this is nice". After I applied it to my right eye I got distracted with my daughter who was running down the hallway with my eyeliner. A few minutes later I went back to go see how the mascara looked and realized that I didn't curl my lashes before putting on the mascara. To my surprise I didn't need to curl my lashes because the mascara did all the work for me. I was so impressed. OK, enough of my rambling...lets get to the good stuff:


Product Description:
Mascara that promises that the patent spoon brush and kera-fiber formula instantly builds 8x more volume without clumping. Each tube of mascara come with .25 fl oz.

Price:
Walgreens: $7.49

Packaging:
I love the magenta and turquoise color of the package

Verdict:
I would give this mascara a 3.5 out of 5. I think it is a very good mascara. Does it make you lashes look like falsies?...close but it still gives a more dramatic look. My boss actually asked me yesterday was I wearing my false lashes. That made me smile.


What I love about It:

No eyelash curler needed
Great stand out lashes as promised
Formula is not think and is build-able
The price is affordable and you can get it at any drugstore
What I would change:
Formula dries too quick; which can lead to spider lashes and potential clumps

Please leave comments and let me know what you think. Would you purchase this product?

This mascara never clumps and doesn't flake either! My lashes look longer and every lash gets covered. But, some-how it comes off so easily with a wet towel. Its Great!

Purchased at Walmart for around $8

Claims: Your eyelashes will look like false ones (hence "falsies") once you apply this mascara on!

What I love:
- Pretty purple packaging
- Definitely makes eyelashes *much* fuller and longer
- Makes a dramatic difference
- No flaking!

What's not-so-good:
- You will need at least 2 coats of this mascara to achieve thicker lashes. The first coat was 'meh', but the second one really makes the actual difference.
- Brush design just calls for clumping in the future, so beware!
- Brush is hard to control due to long handle, and hard to find where the brush actually is if you're in a rush.

All in all:
This mascara is really good for the price and the product that you receive. I'm not thrilled about the brush though.

So this mascara wasn't my favorite starting off. But after using it everyday, and learning how to use it correctly I have to say it has become one of my favorite mascara's.

Packaging:
- It's a really cute purple color though I found that the mascara was a little big and sometimes found it hard to lug around.

The Brush:
- So at first I didn't really get how to use the brush this it was pretty flexible and wide. This resulted in clumpy lashes and not such a great look. Once I learnt how to use the brush properly (You use the side that swoops in on your lashes) It separated my eyelashes a lot more. There was still some clumping but the same amount you would find in other mascaras. The brush was pretty big which I loved for the middle eyelashes, but not so much near the ends of my eyes.

Mascara as a whole:
- So i've seen the advertisement regarding this product and unfortunately you don't end up with that dramatic look they show on the models. I feel that it won't replace fake eyelashes for me, but is definitely a mascara that I might use if I want a slightly bold look but not something over the top. I really liked the flexibility it gave me intensity, since 1 coat allowed me to wear it during the day while 2-3 coats gave me a drastic look for the night.

So I guess in conclusion would I buy it again? --> Yes
Can it replace fake eyelashes? --> not so much
It does give an intense look none the less!

I had the chance to try this through the product review club. The mascara went on smoothly and made my lashes long and thicker although not as thick as I would have liked. The brush was decent but not as great as some others. It did a fairly well job of seperating my lashes.

Overall for the price this is a great mascara and i'll definitely be using it in the future.

Thank you to ChickAdvisor for allowing me to test this product.
When it comes to make-up, I stick to what I like (which is rare to find), and find that trying new products usually ends up in failure.
When I received this mascara, I kept thinking that this won't compare to anything I've tried before, but I was pleasantly surprised.
This mascara definitely elongated my lashes!! It was a very noticeable difference. I would definitely recommend it for those wishing for longer lashes. However it does not fully stand up to its' volumizing promise.
As a result, I wouldn't use this mascara on its own.
I have come to realize that achieving the perfect lashes means using at least two products. I first use a volumizing and thickening mascara like Rimmel Volume Lash or Rimmel Sexy Curves, and then I put on Maybelline's Falsies to get the perfect look!

Thanks Product Review Club!! I was very excited when I was chosen to review and even more excited to try it!!!

I'm a big mascara user so I was interested to see if this mascara lived up to it's hype. Well.....I liked it but didn't love it.

1. How did you like this product on its own merits? (eg. ease of use, wear, etc)
I did like it, easy to use and wear ( no flakes or anything)

2. How does this mascara compare to wearing false eyelashes?
Compared to false lashes, it's much much easier. No glue, no trying to get lashes on in a straight line etc. And you definitely didn't need more than two coats which is what I liked.

3. How does this mascara compare to your usual volumizing mascara?
Compared to my usual mascara, it definitely added more volume and and a more defined look with less coats which I can only get after many coats of my regular mascara.

4. Would you buy this product again and/or recommend it to a friend?
I would buy this in the future.

My only bad comment is that it got chunky on my lashes very quickly. It also seemed to weigh them down a little so I would have to re-curl them after I put it on which I don't think is very good for your lashes. However, it gave a dramatic effect and I found that if you 'wiggled' the wand, you did not need liner on top, it gave that effect which I loved and found unexpected!!!

First thing first...thanks chickadvisor for letting me try out this mascara! :)

when it comes to mascara i'm pretty picky but i'm always into trying something new! i want a mascara that not thick and feels gross on my lashes ..i want it to feel like its natural and not feeling like i have something on my lashes...the fist thing i notice was its cute pink tube..LOL the wand was cool i was really interested to see how it would work...for me the wand does get the corners that i normally have problem getting...since using this mascara i notice my lashes don't seem thick with product, it covers my lashes nicely and makes them look thick and dark which i like..and above all long :) my lashes are pretty much board straight so i did have to curl them myself...the wand however did make the product look like it was gonna be clumpy but a little wipe of the wand on the edge of the tube takes care of that...i do not have a reaction to the mascara which is a plus cuz most make my eyes water...i love this mascara and i loved it so much i bought another one...

Thank you Chic Advisor for sending me Maybelline’s “The Falsies” mascara to review. Here is a summary of my experience using this product.

I know most people don’t consider the color of a packaging too much, but I personally loved it. I always carry an oversized purse and my makeup products tend to get lost inside so I found that the purple made it easier for me to locate my mascara.

I have to admit, this mascara was a little bit on the runny side that I had wished, I always had to try to remove part of the product from the brush before applying it, otherwise it resulted in clumping. I have to agree with previous reviews that in terms of smudging, the mascara was pretty good and once dry it lasted the whole day without problems. The shape of the brush was both good and bad – good because it was curved and I was able to reach all of my lashes but then again it was hard to avoid clumping unless I tried rotating the brush and applying it from different angles, which I have to admit was a hard at first but with practice it got to be better.

The mascara did magic extending the length of my lashes but did nothing for volume, unless I applied at least three coats, then it was ok. If I just left it with one coat it was ok for a minimal make-up office look but for out-on-the-town look it was definitely not enough. I actually started combining the mascara with a little mini-brush (which I use to comb my lashes) to prevent clumping. The effect was great but it is time consuming when you are trying to get ready in less than 10 min, I found that I didn’t have the time to do this routine every time I applied makeup.

Overall, I find the product average, I have used mascaras that do better job with less hassles so I would say if you are looking to extend the length of your lashes, this works great but if it is more volume and easy application you are looking for – then this product is not for you.

I would like to begin by thanking ChickAdvisor for letting me review The Falsies mascara. Many people would love this mascara and many would not. If you like the formula of your mascara to be wetter in consistency than normal, then this is your mascara. It applies almost wet and takes a minute to dry allowing you to pack on layers without clumping for your desired effect. I wouldn't pick this up if you prefer a drier consistency. Where this mascara fell short was its promise to appear as if wearing false lashes. Although I haven't tried false lashes myself, my friends and sisters have confirmed my suspicion that The Falsies does not volumize my lashes enough to justify the false lash effect claim. However, it does the job of a regular mascara, and it does it well. As for the shape of the bristle brush which is spoon-like, I felt that it was definitely one of the better factors of the mascara. The shape allows the brush to grab almost all of my lashes and coat them evenly simultaneously. And, you can use the other side to apply extra coats as well and with this side you can target your application to specific areas.

So, in conclusion, I will recommend The Falsies if:
1. You prefer a wetter mascara formula consistency
2. You prefer a bristle brush for application
3. You would like to try out a spoon-like brush which for me has improved application
4. You like the colour purple ;)
