Review: "The Falsies" Mascara


Short review on "The Falsies" Mascara::

This mascara definitely does NOT live up to its name. For me, it gives no effect of false lashes because it does not provide volume. It lengthens, if anything, but it definitely is not what advertisements show. It makes my lashes sparse and few.

I'm sticking with the "Colossal" Volum' Express.

Also, I haven't tried the "One by One," and because of the Falsies, I'm afraid to haha. I fear the brush and results will be similar..yuck.

Review: Colossal Volum' Express® Mascara

Review: Colossal Volum' Express® Mascara


So. I bought this at the dollar store instead of the "Falsies" one that I was thinking about getting - they didn't have it. Anyway, I saw that this one is like, the forebearer or what have you, so I thought it'd be good.

I wanted to try a non-two-step type, to see if the results were just as good. The packaging said it had "9x the volume," supposedly meaning the volume of your natural, normal lashes. 

It did pretty well (pics below), but I had to put on three stinkin' coats, lol. Few clumps, just like it says. It did seem to make my lashes a tad longer than the previous kind I have been wearing for years - the XXL by Maybelline. I was beginning to think Maybelline was letting me down, haha.. and that it was time to move on. I don't know for sure if my lashes are long, short, thin, or thick, but I know that they're nothing to write home about, haha. I love as much lash as I can get, when I'm in the mood. So.. so far, I think this is a decent mascara, but I would still love to try the $20 and up kind - designer lashes, if you will :) Especially DiorShow. Thoughts?

Mascara, Anyone? And Eyeliner

I was thinking about buying a new one. Also eyeliner.. I'm out. I like the twist-up kind, smudger optional. (I never use it; finger works just fine).

Advice would be great!
