Review: The Falsies Volym' Express Mascara by Maybelline

I have this mascara in the color Brun Glamour/Brown. I wasn't paying attention when I bought this and picked up the wrong color. I like the color and I think that it works well with more neutral looks but I miss the impact that black has on my eyes. This looks a little bit dull to be honest.


The Falsies Volym' Express mascara comes with a large brush with an odd shape to it. It is curved and has one wide side and one narrow side. I don't understand the purpose with this brush and I find it difficult to use. After I have applied the mascara the lashes need a good comb through to look nice and the mascara has a tendency to end up on the lid. This is the main negative thing with this mascara, it is very messy to use. If you look very closely you can see mascara on my lid in the picture of my eyes. This is very hard to correct without ruining the makeup on my lids.


The lashes have been curled on both sides with an eyelash curler. I have applied two coats of mascara and I haven't combed through the lashes after application.

The staying power of this mascara is actually good. It does as I mention end up on the lid but I don't find a lot of mascara under the eyes after a long day at work. However I rarely wear mascara on my bottom lashes so this might have something to do with it.

Overall grade: This mascara is messy and doesn't apply very well. It doesn't even come close to give my lashes a "false lash" effect. I will not buy this mascara again.


This product was bought with my own money and it is my own opinion.
