Maybelline Volume Express Mascara - Falsies Flared

this mascara is not my favourite but still does a reasonable job of making my lashes thicker and longer. although it also has a tendency to clump and also to flake off. so probably wouldnt repurchase.

I bought this based on the hype, however I wasn't personally thrilled with it. For me, I found the brush a little too clumpy. I tend to prefer comb styled brushes and also straight brushes so this just didn't work for me. My lashes easily clump so I have to be very wary about what I use.

It definitely had enough volume, and I love the fact that it has the curve in the brush to help keep the curl to the lashes (again, a design I personally do not like for my lashes but love how it works regardless). The waterproof version of this is an amazing formula, which really does stay stuck to the lashes all day with no crumbly bits.

I feel like it is quite overpriced, at $27.95, so probably will not purchase this one. However for someone who loves loads of lashes, say go for it!

I thought this would be a fantastic mascara but I was disappointed, it didn't go on well, I had to keep reapplying, it was also a bit clumpy and didn't seem to make much difference, definitely not 300% more lashes more like 30% I'm sorry to say I was disappointed and it cost quite a lot.

I like the length this product gives me and it does give my eyelashes some flare, however i find this mascara flacks off during the day leaving the residue on my cheeks.

I have very long but sparse lashes and this mascara is just too clumpy for me. And I like my lashes a little "spidery" but this was just too much.

The ads in magazines and the cool looking brush wooed me into buying this mascara, the brush took a while of getting used to but i liked how it didnt clump and the consistency wasnt too thick, it didnt do much for volume and it was next to impossible to remove the mascara, im not a fan of this mascara

Maybelline volume express mascara wasn't what I expected. The packaging says "the falsies volume express" so I expected my lashes to look fuller and longer like false lashes do. This mascara does deliver slightly fatter lashes but not as much as I expected. I liked that it doesn't clump or flake but wouldn't buy this one again.

Doesn't every girl who loves makeup crave lashes that look false but are real? I know I do! I am always on the hunt for mascaras that will add volume and length without the clumps and sticks together. I am no makeup pro so gluing false lashes on to my eyelids is not something I want to do. It not only looks complicated it looks too high maintenance for me! I would rather play up what I naturally have.

When I saw that Maybelline had a mascara out that claimed to make it look like you had flared falsies, I was in line to get my hands on one! I paid full RRP for this because I wanted it that bad. $27.95 is pretty normal for a mascara any way so it wasn't a bit deal. I am in love with the fuchsia colour of the tube and the baby blue writing. It's very bold and stands out which of course I love! The brush is a whole new level of awesome! It curves to mirror the shape of the base of the eyelid which makes it easier to grab each and every lash and brush it to perfection. It's not too bulky like other brushes that are hard to control and end up with far too much product on it.

The true test begins. I open my eye and start at the base of my lashes. I learned a trick to wriggle the brush side to side as you brush up because it gets the mascara in to those hard to reach places. It definitely makes it easier to prevent clumps and too many lashes sticking together. This is where the pros stop for me though. I applied three coats and was still searching for my falsies flared look? Yes I got volume but it fell short when it came to the length! I was disappointed because this look I could get with any $2 shop mascara and still have money left to get a primer!

Although it didn't give me what I was looking for I plodded ahead to test the stay power. I gave it the ultimate test by wearing it whilst working out to see how 'waterproof' it was. After a half an hour cardio session and a shower I was met with panda eyes to the max. Now I know this was extreme so I wiped it off, reapplied and wore it all day long whilst doing my groceries and shopping. It managed to stay a bit longer but I still saw a slightly black ring forming under my eyes! Summary, no it doesn't give you the promised falsies flared look, yes it gives volume and no it doesn't have stay power. Would I use it again? No!

This was my first ever mascara and since i was younger of course i thought it was good but no looking back it isn't as good as the mascaras i use now. It made my eyelashes look clumped together and did not separate them.
