Maybelline Volume Express Mascara - Falsies Flared

I love using this mascara for everyday makeup. Gives a good amount of volume and some length. Really easy to take off when removing my makeup aswell :) also comes at a good price

Although this mascara does not make it look like I have false lashes on I still really like it, it does just as good a job as any other mascara. It goes on smoothly with no clumps and I would buy it again, so I think that's always a good sign.

I was looking for a mascara that would make my lashes longer thicker and outstanding. this product does do that but have tried other mascara's that do a better job. I probably wouldn't buy it again. But I'm a stingy person so I'm going to finish it to the end :)

This product was great to start with but after 3 weeks it started clumping. Thought it might just be that one, but bought another and was great too start and then same thing.

It does do what it says it does but... If you go for that last swipe, be careful because it can clump and become gluggy. I like it but not easy to remove. I'm not sure if I'd but it again...

the brush seperates the lashes very will and masara is applied evenly, and easily, the shape of the brush means that no lashes are missed and it covers the lash from base to tip.

I've been looking for decent mascara for ages and saw someone recommended this. Made my eyelashes look really nice but it found it was a little clumpy and it was more of a volume mascara rather than length, sadly I lack in both areas :( however with a few coats its not to bad. I love the brush it makes it easy to apply to both bottom and top lashes

I have a love - hate relationship with this mascara. I hate it when its brand new, it makes my lashes stick and clump together and look a mess. So I have to use an older mascara wand to separate my lashes - frustrating! But I put up with this as a few weeks later its like a completely different mascara. it doesn't clump and makes my lashes longer, darker and with more volume. I don't know what this is to do with ? maybe its the mascara drying out a bit and its not so liquidy ? One other problem I do find is that because it makes my lashes so long they touch the skin under my brow bone and smudges a bit on my skin but I put up with this for long lush lashes haha! I'm yet to find my holy grail mascara so ill stick with this one in the mean time!

Recently I have gone through a few crap mascaras (heres looking at you Rimmel). So I decided to go back to my tried and true favourite Maybelline mascara - Falsies. I picked this up in the waterproof formula as I'm really prone to mascaras smudging on me sue to my really oily lids. I picked this up for $27.99 but luckily I had some rewards from using my Credit Card too much so it didn't actually cost me any real money.

I really like the packaging for this. It is in a dark pink/purple tube and the tube is quite thin. I'm sick of companies bulking up mascara packaging. It doesn't need to be that thick. Anyway the light blue metallic writing on it is nice, although does rub off once you have used this for a while... no big deal.

The mascara wand itself is a natural fibre looking one that has a bit of a bend in it so you can get all your lashes in one swipe. It also picks up a lot of product which is nice. The stick part that holds the brush is quite bendy too which is weird. Don't know if it really actually does anything to help with the application. The formulation is somewhere in between wet and dry. Dry enough that it dries on your lashes quickly so you don't get it smudging over your just done eyeshadow. But wet enough that you feel like you get a really good coating over your lashes. I don't find this the most dramatic mascara, not the false lash effect at all. But it is a mascara I know I can fall back on whenever I get sick of trying new ones. It does separate my lashes and add a wee bit of volume without clumping. I never have any problems with flaking or smudging with this. Although being waterproof it is a bit harder to remove I don't mind for the benefit of no smudging... nothing my oil cleanser can't get through.

As I said this is my tried and true mascara. Something I will go back to but doesn't work miracles... I will eventually go back into the makeup jungle to search out the miracle worker mascara but for now this works while I build my stamina back up.
