This is an abridged version of the review that I posted on my blog. This mascara will not make your lashes look like you are wearing falsies, only falsies will do that, but the marketing for this mascara is great, every woman will fall for it and expect miracles from this mascara. However, this mascara does lenghten pretty well and I am a fan of the curved-ish brush, it makes application easier. I am a fan of maybelline mascara in general and this mascara is not bad, but don't expect miracles from this.

As many of the other reviewers have already stated, you're not going to achieve the look of false lashes with this mascara (despite its name and claim). However, the Falsies Volum' Express mascara does have some pros. This mascara is great if you're looking for one that will lengthen your lashes. My lashes looked noticeably longer - each lash was defined and looked thicker. With that said, however, this mascara falls low on the volume scale. Thought it will thicken individual lashes, the overall volume of your lashes is not that great (especially in comparison to the CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara). Unfortunately, if you wait to let your lashes dry to apply additional coats, the mascara tends to leave clumps - but if you apply multiple coats without letting the first coat dry, the clumping is not as bad. Overall, I rate this mascara average. If you're looking for length, then this is the mascara for you...but if you're looking for volume...then I would recommend trying the Lash Blast by CoverGirl.

There is no such thing as a mascara that will give you the exact look of fake eyelashes. If you want falsies, buy falsies and prepare yourself for the application. But overall, this mascara definitely comes close. I usually have good luck with mascaras. I've got long lashes in the first place.

I noticed on the package that it said to layer without allowing to dry in between coats, so thats what I did. I hardly had any clumps, which is a win right there. The length is amazing. About the third day I wore it, I actually noticed how long my lashes were. I also noticed that this mascara does not flake at all (yay!).

I love that the brush is curved. I've had mascaras with curved brushes before of course, but it really is helpful.

The price for this product is great. It was only about $9 at London Drugs. I don't usually buy the same mascara twice, but now I just might.

I was really excited to try this mascara. I thought it was at a good price since mascara these days are becoming more expensive. I was afraid I'd be disappointed with mascara but I'm not. My eyelashes turned out really pretty. I like the size of the wand. It's small and easy to handle. I did have to apply many many coats but it didn't clump up on me. I like how it fanned out my lashes and made them really dark. I wouldn't say they look like false lashes by any means but I did achieve length and volume with this. I still think DiorShow gives me the most volume and length but Falsies is a good alternative if you don't want to spend that much.

I agree with Miss Chickie - this is an awesome Mascara.

The shape of the brush gives my eyelashes a nice curl - and I'm not just copying a commercial slogan here - I can actually see the difference.

It's easy to apply and drys fairly quickly. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a Mascara is too wet and you end up smudging it onto your eyelids when you blink.

The mascara washes off easily. I didn't feel like I was tugging at my eyelashes or eyelids when I was washing it off.

Finally, the bright color of the tube doesn't disappear into the bottom of your makeup bag. It's always easy to find!
