Maybelline Falsies Mascara

I decided to purchase this mascara after I found it for $5 at Target before my Irish getaway. The ad reel for this mascara was definitely appealing, so I thought for such a price, it was definitely worth a shot.

What can I say? It was mediocre, perhaps slightly better. It certainly did not present some of the problems that other Maybelline mascaras have demonstrated in the past (excessive smearing, foul chemical stench, utter failure to deliver promised results). Does it really give a "false lash look"? Nope. But it did provide length, color, curl, and volume, akin to Cover Girl's LashBlast mascara for a slightly lower price. I find that in the long run, I am more pleased with the LashBlast results, but paying $5 for a mascara that delivers these results is pretty good. Be patient, though--like most mascaras, it delivers its best results after a week or two, so don't throw it out if you don't see what you want after the first time or two you use it.
