Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara Review

This mascara looks great I love the bright pink and black makes it easier to spot out from the rest of the makeup clutter. I liked the brushes and found it made my lashes look fab. The only thing I found with it would irritate if I had it on too long so only for night out :(

When I found this on sale a few months ago I was looking for a better mascara, I knew nothing about this one so I thought I may as well give it a go.

I'm not impressed with it though, it works quite well to deliver length but the formula just doesn't stay! I found that on my oily eyelids it would smudge both on top and below my eyes, which was not a good look. The brush was OK, but the tiny one meant for lower lashes barely even picked up product!

On top of all that, it was very hard to remove as it was 'waterproof'. Yet it did still end up all over my eyelids and under my eyes... hmm, interesting.

I won't be buying this again as it just didn't work for me. I have seen reviews from people who love this, but I'd say give it a miss if you have oily eyelids.

I bought this mascara because it stood out on the shelf to me and looked and sounded like it would make your eyelashes really full and big - which would be great of course! But I found the Mascara brush to be to big and made it harder to use particularly on the bottom lashes - I prefer smaller brush Mascaras. Also the product became quite thick and hard to use reasonably quickly and I had to clean the brush multiple times near the end to even be able to use it. I definately did not feel my eye lashes looked like falsies. The Mascara all round for me was just on an average level.

I picked this up because I liked the idea of two brushes, one for upper and lower lashes. Sometimes, when using mascara, I find it difficult applying it to my bottom lashes, often it smudges or clumps or gets all over my under-eye area.

I loved the brush for the bottom lashes. I found it the perfect size and shape - it didn't pick up tons of mascara and was easy to control. It didn't clump or smudge and made my lower lashes longer and stand out more, but still look natural - something I loved.

However, I didn't like the brush for upper lashes. While it did give the appearance of bigger eyes, I found it awkward to use. It was also clumpy and stuck my upper eyelashes together.

I still used this product, but only the half for lower lashes. I used another mascara for my upper lashes and this for my lower lashes. When it ran out I didn't purchase it again, and I wouldn't. I just bought another mascara that had the same sort of brush and used that for my lower lashes.

Can't say I'd buy the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara again.

The half for bottom lashes is actually pretty good. The brush is small and thin which allows for good control. The mascara doesn't clump your lashes together. I would use this half of the mascara again. However, I found the other half for top lashes a bit of a let down. The brush is big and bulky and does not at all separate the eyelashes. I found myself using the part for bottom lashes on both my top and bottom.

Sadly, not worth the money - Half maybe.

I accidentally bought the waterproof version of this! An ok product when it comes to the 'falsies' promise but tbh there was no major dramatic appearance to my eyes. The bigger brush is to bulky and i almost always get mascara on my lids because of this brush. Not sure if I would buy again but I'm still using this for day wear (and because I'm not keen to waste this either).

This was one of the first mascaras I bought from Maybelline and I loved it. The large brush for your upper lashes evenly coated them in product, giving them the "falsies" effect. The smaller brush is perfect for coating your lower lash line without clumping or transfering onto your under eye area. I would buy this again, however I do prefer Lash Sensational to this. I got the non-waterproof one and found that it would smudge and rub off throughout the day.

This mascara does what it promises! The large brush coats a lot of mascara quickly to achieve the 'falsie' look without having to apply layers and layers to achieve this. I found the little brush perfect for lower lashes and easy to apply without getting mascara on my skin as I do with larger brushes. Love it!
