Maybelline Volume Express Mascara - Falsies Flared

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!

It is a smooth easy to apply mascara. I have really thick lashes and it seems to seperate them and creates a nice length to them also without fibers. It is a great day to day mascara as it is fast and easy to apply with the curled comb.

I thought id try this mascara to give the false lash thickness and volume but it failed to do so. Im not usually a fan of the bristle brushes i prefer the silicone ones that separate the lashes well, this one started out clumpy and thick and i didnt really like it... I found it got better as i went through more of the product as i think when new too much came out on the brush. Wouldnt buy this one again personally especially for this price.

I didn't think much of this when I purchased it at a sale for about $9 but the packaging drew me in. Once I tried it I was hooked I love the brush, the formula doesn't seem to clump on my lashes and I could easily coat my bottom lashes as well as the top. This made my lashes really pop and extended them out and up, love it! I have bought numerous times since first purchasing it and I'm always satisfied that it really does what it's meant to.

I'll admit it - I was first drawn to the product because of it's purple packaging (I'm a sucker for purple stuff ...) upon closer inspection I saw the name 'Falsies' and thought, 'Well I do suck at putting on false lashes. This seems like a bit of me!'

Best. Impulse. Buy. Ever.

I've never tried any high-end mascaras, I'll be honest, but what I can tell you is that I have re-purchased Falsies Flared about three times. I personally believe that this is the best drugstore mascara available.

The pigmentation of the black is so fantastic that I use the wand to tightline at the same time, and I finish up by separating my lashes with a lash comb.

This mascara makes my short stubby lashes look full and voluminous. love, Love, LOVE!

This is an ok mascara, Im not a fan of the formula, but i like the brush. I like the look this mascara gives my lashes but i only reach for this if i have nothing else, i will repurchase if its has a really low sale price.

I really like this mascara because it doesn't clump and lasts long and looks really good. If I want a quick mascara to use. I just go to this because it's easy to apply and doesn't take ages and adds alot of volume. It's also good if you want to add false lashes after applying. I have had 3 of these and I really love it. Everyone should try this. It's amazing !

i would definitely recommend using the maybelline 'falsies' volume express mascara. this mascara doesn't make eyelashes 'clumpy', and has a very good brush. will definitely use again.

The pretty purple tube of this mascara caught my eye while at the supermarket oneday. I had to buy it and try it out.

The consistency of the black mascara was smooth and went on my natural lashes easy. The curved wand helped as I was able to get in the corners of my lashes and across my lash line with ease. It didn't smudge or rub off as long as I didn't accidently rub or scratch my eye area. It seemed to last the day. It made my natural lashes a little thicker and look longer.

It's quite hard to remove so a decent make up remover would be ideal.

Great for a every day mascara for a more fuller lash look.

I purchased this product for the first time ever this year, I'd heard great reviews on youtube and thought that I would give it a good go.

On first application this product was brilliant! It gives excellent volume and a little bit of length which I'm stoked about. The packaging I think is cute, I can't fault the formulation! I prefer this over every revlon mascara I've ever used. (Doesn't hurt that this mascara is slightly more affordable either!)

I recommend this product to all of my girlfriends, all of my friends who have tried this absolutely adore it
