MAYBELLINE THE FALSIES FLARED

I know, I know I'm late jumping on the bandwagon for the oh so famous falsies mascara.  This mascara is probably the MOST POPULAR talked about drugstore mascara in the beauty community.  I bought this mascara at the end of December and just recently like four days ago decided to take it out of its packaging and try it out for the first time EVER.  Why has it taken me this long to finally try it out since I've bought it?  I've just been enjoying using my Benefit They're Real Mascara.  As much as it's talked about I never saw the hype around it nor did I feel the need to go out and buy it.  Boy do I regret not buying this mascara so long ago. 
My first impression when I opened the tube and saw the mascara wand "hmm this wand kind of reminds me of the Mega Plush Mascara."  So I instantly  thought I was gonna hate it.
                                             (top wand: the falsies. bottom wand: mega plush)
 A little background on the Mega Plush Mascara: I HATE IT!! Buying the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara was my first time ever buying a Maybelline mascara and lemme tell you I was DISAPPOINTED with this mascara.  I only bought it because it was what was "POPULAR" in the beauty community when it was released.  All the beauty guru's on Youtube were obsessing over it saying how AMAZING it was,  so of course since I'm a mascara hoarder I had to go out and buy it.  All the hype behind this mascara was that the it had a flexible wand, meaning that you could bend it in many different ways that you wanted.  Also it was Maybelline's first ever gel-mousse mascara.  If I'm being honest the only reason I purchased this mascara was because of it's packaging,  the teal and hot pink tube. What can I say I'm a sucker for cute packaging on makeup products!

The Mega Plush didn't do anything for my lashes.  I have naturally long lashes,  and this mascara didn't do my lashes justice.  Maybe it's because of the brush but when I apply the mascara my lashes end up looking really messy and they get stuck together or clumpy when I  try and move the wand around my lashes.  Also after you apply it and your lashes dry they start to feel flaky. And f.y.i.  Maybelline advertises this mascara saying that it won't get flaky.  WRONG MAYBELLINE!  I don't think I've ever hated a mascara as much as I hate this one.

My first impression when I applied the falsies flared mascara was "O M G" I was literally speechless. With just one coat it separated my lashes so well, and gave them so much  length and volume.  Then I went on to apply another coat, so basically I only applied two coats of mascara and I was fully satisfied with the way they looked.  My lashes look AMAZING with just two coats of mascara.  I'm usually one that likes to wear at least two different mascaras to feel satisfied with the way they look, but for the past few days the falsies has been the only mascara I've been wearing and I'm VERY HAPPY with the results I've been getting from it.  This has definitely become one of my favorite mascaras!

  1. WOW that mascara makes your lashes look incredible! I like the original Falsies mascara but now I really want to try the Flared version! Oh, and I also love Benefit They're Real...I can see how you would want to use it all the time and neglect your other mascaras, I was totally the same way!

  2. Omg I wish my natural lashes were as full and long as yours! I tried this mascara way back when it first came out and didn't like it but maybe I should try it again since that was years ago? I love how it looks on you.
