 Maybelline The Falsies Mascara Review & Comparison With Maybelline Collosal !

 

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara Review

Guest Post by Sktribal

When it comes to mascara i love my Maybelline  Collosal Mascara, it is the only mascara i have found effective from all the ones iv tried ! But on a recent visit to the Maybelline counter i picked up the Maybelline Falsies mascara and this is what i thought about it :

My view about Maybelline Falsies Mascara:

ü  Builds volume and length in just one coat.

ü  The curved brush helps curl the lashes a bit.

ü  Good for days when you don’t have time to apply many coats.

ü  Good for extremely dark and smoky eye makeup where even clumped lashes may look okay.

ü  Good for thin, sparse lashes.

L  Clumps lashes in just one coat.

L  If you apply more than one or two full coats, you’ll only have five really thick lashes. Doesn’t separate lashes at all.

L  The brush picks up way too much product and you have to scrape off the excess before each use.

L  Lashes look really bad unless you apply an extremely controlled, thin coat. Even then you won’t get a separated lash effect.

L  More expensive than the Colossal

 

My view about Maybelline Collosal Mascara:

ü  Doesn’t clump unless you apply a million coats

ü  Separates the lashes while adding length and volume.

ü  You can build up the volume and thickness depending on the look you’re going for.

ü  The brush picks up just enough product.

ü  Cheaper than the Falsies mascara

ü  Good for all kinds of lashes- thick, thin, long, short.

L  Can get a little flaky when it has been used for a long time.

Overall, I still prefer my Colossal to Falsies. You can achieve a reasonably fanned out look with the Falsies but it requires a lot of time and effort which is just not worth the price you pay. The Colossal is really good in all aspects, especially when the formula thickens up a bit.

Rating: B

Price: Rs 425

Overall Recommendation:I didnt really love the Falsies mascara. It clumps your lashes and makes you look like you only have 5 lashes. The brush picks up too much product and it’s a pain to keep scraping off the excess. For the price we pay, I expected much better.  So for me its Maybelline Colossal anyday!

It’s a pretty okay mascara not horribly bad but if you’ve used the Colossal, you’ll see a dramatic difference. The Colossal is way better :)

Falsies Mascara: I assumed it means that it make your lashes look heavy, not that they will clump and make eye heavy literally

The Falsies does clump lashes together. If you have lots of lashes it will look okay but doesn’t give a beautiful fanned out look like the Colossal :)

I haven’t tried Colossal yet but I am using The Falsies now. It clumps my lashes after just 1 full coat. But I do like the length and thickness it gives my lashes (minus the clumpiness). My lashes are the shortest and thinnest ever. Nice comparison! :)

Perfect, thanks so much for this review! I’d been thinking about getting the Falsies but already had Colossal and wasn’t sure if I should get it or not. I think I’ll save my money for the meantime. ;)

Hey have u guys tried maybelline “one-by-one” mascara? It’s the best ever! Get your hands on this one and trust me you will never look for another Mascara ever again! It separates, coats and curls at the same time… You get an amazing length and volume with this… But for a lashes obsessive person like me… I curl them using a curler to get that Kim karsashian look…. Hope u find it useful…. Enjoy!
