The purple and teal tube of the new Maybelline The Falsies Mascara has been calling my name for too long. When I saw that these were on sale this week at CVS, I snatched one up:
I bought the darkest color-I think it's the shade called Blackest Black. I wanted a waterproof version but couldn't find one, so I just grabbed the regular version:
Here is a picture of my bare lashes. I have very coarse, short, straight, Asian lashes. As you can see, they point straight down and are extremely hard to curl:
Here is a picture of my bare lashes after curling them with Shu Uemura's eyelash curler:
Here are my lashes with one coat of the mascara:
Two coats:
Three coats:
After three coats, I curled my lashes again. I know you aren't supposed to curl after mascara at the risk of pulling out some lashes, but I'm willing to risk it:
Here you can see difference between my two eyes. I have no mascara on the left one, and The Falsies on the right one:
The good: Thickens, darkens, gives a little bit of length, affordable
The bad: Does not hold a curl; no volume; clumping and flaking if you use more than 2 coats, brush is hard to use
Verdict: Nice to try, but it isn't Holy Grail material and I wouldn't repurchase it.

Love your eyes! Do you think you can tell us in your next blog entry, WHAT brand/color contacts you are wearing? Thank you, love! :)
The tube is pretty. I don't think we have that here in Malaysia..=(
But, it does look weird with too much coating. One coat just doesnt do the job, and too much coat just destroy the job..aaah, what is a girl to do?
I like the feline mascara from maybelline more..=)
Thanks for the review. This is probably the fourth that I've read and no one has spoken highly of this product, which lets me know I can save my money! I'll stick with Maybelline's Colossal
Thanks for the review!:D

I've never been a fan of maybelline mascaras. Have you tried faux cils by YSL? Or Lancome's Hypnose? both are amazing mascaras.
by the way, your eyes are gorgeous. xx
@anonymous- of course I'll do a post on it! =) Just so you know, they are Solotica Hidrocor Ice-so comfortable and last so much longer than my regular ones. I'll start writing up a review on them ;)
@aisyah- ooh pretty name you have there! I know exactly what you mean about mascaras lol! Is the feline mascara exclusive to malaysia? I'm not sure I've seen it here! =)
@stacy-Hey there gorgeous-I love your profile pic! Yes, this mascara is definitely just average-I'm a fan of Colossal too-it's 100 times better than this one! Glad to see you here-please stop by again! =)
