Thinking about getting the mascara? Wanting volume and length? A false lash effect?... Well keep looking cos this ain't it!
I'm sorry if this gleaming purple tube is attracting you but that's it really....its a trap!
I reaallyy dislike this mascara and its quite pricey for a drugstore mascara, so I was expecting great things when all I got is separation, I'll give it that.. yuup it separates them real Goood but it looks too natural for mee, no extra volume and I hate how it doesn't hold a curl! :(
It's a shame, I think its like £11.?? Can't remember.. anyways all you need to know is I'm sweetlittlelies and...
Anymore tips, tricks or advice.. just message moi! :) X

One of the best mascaras I've used. My lashes are quite long and curly so it was easy to apply with the large wand. My lashes seem to favour the thick wand/short spikes combination such as Avon supershock max and benefits they're real, and now this one. Great mascara will definitely purchase again

To start off, my lashes are very thin and not wispy long, albeit already curled and not so badly sparse.
This mascara does make wispy lashes that are soft, but moderate length and volume for me. I believe girls who are blessed with already pretty long lashes and more volume would get amazing result, but not my Asian lashes.
I, too, have oily lids, and not being waterproof, the mascara smudged after just 4-hours of wear making me having to keep wiping my under eyes. Not so fun.
Am not a big fan of the bulky packaging either. Never fall for such stunt.
Plus, in the stupid Netherlands, it costs 18-effin-cursed-Euros. Gah!!

Always been a fan of Max Factor mascara's. Already love 2000 calories, Experience Volumising mascara, False Lash Effect.. How can I not love this fusion one.. 2 in 1.. absolutely love it.. defenitely re-buy.. bought 1 to try.. few weeks later bought 2 more with 1+1 free offer.. defenitely a yes yes.. =)

In general I tend to like Max Factor Mascaras. I have non-existent pale eyelashes and sensitive eyes so I demanding quite a lot of my mascaras. I used to use the original 'False Lash Effect' mascara and really liked it. I decided to try this for a change and I have not been disappointed. I have been hard pushed to spot any real difference between the two formulas because they do a good job on my eye lashes. This mascara both lengthens and volumises my eyelashes and makes me look slightly more alive than when I am without mascara. My only gripe is that is can flake a little as the day goes on but I have had worse experiences with mascara costing about twice the price of this mascara. Will definitely be repurchasing!

Great mascara.
The only thing that I don't like about it is that it straightens my curled lashes partly, but then again, all non waterproof mascaras do that. Max Factor mascaras, in general, have drier formulas, so they tend to hold a curl better than many other brand's mascaras.
I normally like to use waterproof mascara, because I have really stubborn and straight lashes and nothing can hold my curl like waterproof mascara.
Recently I've had problems with my eyes and waterproof make up remover irritates my eyes, so I've had to switch back to non waterproof mascara and I've used this one a lot.
I've used the regular FLE earlier and I loved it. This one is very similar, it only adds length more than the regular one, but I've also noticed that this one doesn't clump at all, even if I add many layers of it. The regular FLE clumps sometimes.
I love the big brush and the dry formula, but I'm a bit worried that it's going to dry out really fast, because I've had this mascara for about a month and it's already dried out a lot. Regular FLE dries out in two months so that it becomes hard to use after that.
Anyway, this mascara seems to be really great everyday mascara. It's nothing incredible, but it gets the job done and my lashes look great, non clumpy, long and defined, separated and clean, but unfortunately, like I said, it doesn't hold the curl fully.
Despite that, it's still one of my favorite non waterproof mascaras.

I really like this mascara. This was the first 'expensive' mascara I ever bought (before I used to pay around £4/£5); this one was £11. At first, it worked great for me, everyone asked if I was wearing false eyelashes, but recently it's started to work less effectively for me, no idea why. I tend to use this more when I'm going somewhere casual, and use a different brand when I'm going out and whatnot. One thing that is negative about this product is the packaging - it took me ages to release it from its tomb of death! At least I got there in the end lol.

I LOVE this mascara, it's a definite HG product for me. I have it in dark brown for day wear and black for the evening - the black is a nice, intense sooty black. It lengthens and thickens with no clumps, doesn't flake and wears well all day. It does not irritate my sensitive eyes and removes easily at the end of the day with standard eye make remove.
I have tried all the high end mascaras and used to use Lancome ones until a friend recommended this. I love it and it's reasonably priced - the only thing I would change is the fat tube as it takes so much space in my make up bag, but Max Factor have really come up with a winner here. Amazing!

Since I’m a big fan of the original FLE, I wanted to give FLE Fusion a go too mainly because it promises more length along with thickness. It delivers, and the result is stunning, but it doesn’t quite live up to the original FLE, which performs already beautifully in both aspects. For now, I’m sticking to Max Factor’s Masterpiece Max for daytime wear, and the original False Lash Effect for when I’m looking for more oompf.

I LOVE this mascara! It is currently my favourite when it comes to going out looks. For every day I use MF masterpiece or masterpiece max sometimes. I must admit I do love MF mascaras in general however I do love this one over all. It is one of the few mascaras I have that does not clump and make your lashes look like a black clumpy mess. I find that it defines them nicely and elongates them. It also does increase a bit the volume of the lashes. I also bought the L'Oreal Lash Architect or False Fibre Mascara (US version). This latter one makes your lashes look HORRIBLE in my opinion... the MF false lash effect fusion is by far MUCH better. I would recommend this to anyone who asks! Worth trying! I got mine from ebay and it cost me half the price it would have cost me from home.

I love this mascara! Fans out lashes so no spider leg effect, never clumps, can layer for a more dramatic effect and really gives excellent volume. Brush is the best I've used as it's very effective! Short close bristles really combs the lashes out! Never leaves those annoying little bobbles at the end of lashes like others leave.. Yes I mean you Benefit they're real!! Basically it's my HG out of every HE and DS mascaras I've used and I have used probably all of them as I'm a mascara junkie. Just goes to prove that you don't have to buy expensive ones!
Buy it and try!

I've never tried the original False Lash mascara, so don't know if this one is any improvement on the original. But I have tried the Masterpiece, which flaked and irritated my contact lenses.
This mascara, thankfully does not flake at all. The wand is very thick, but oddly the bristles are very short. So you don't smudge and you can be suprisingly precise.
This does volumise and it does hold a curl very well. It's also buildable without clumping, and after two coats is nicely noticeable.
The big test however was using it on the lower lashes - I'm amazed how well it holds true. I have to say I'm more impressed by this mascara than several others that promise the same effect. I'm going to stick with it for the near future, definately.

Overall, I do like this mascara. I got it on offer at Debenhams, and I had a bit of an undecisive moment between the black packaged one and the new purple one. Being a girl, I bought the purple one because it looked very pretty. I do love this mascara, because it does give your lashes a lovely, natural look. I wasn't too sure about it when I first bought it though. However recently I bought Benefit's new, 'They're Real' mascara, and I have to admit, I do prefer Max Factor. Their formula is a lot less messier and doesn't clump as much as Benefit's mascara does, plus, it gives you the same results EVERY time, whereas Benefit's mascara gives you different results every time you use it, and its 50/50 as to if you like the result or not...so personally, I would buy the Max Factor Fusion again, but not Benefit's new mascara.

I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with this mascara.
I originally had the mascara in the Pink tube, and when it was starting to dry/run out i gave a pretty, natural look to my lashes so i thought WOW i really do like this, so when it was empty i went and bought the Fusion because the purple looked pretty :) However, when i tried out the purple one for the first time, the formula was thicker and messier than i seemed to remember, and i made my lashes kind of clumpy. But after a few attempts i realised that the formula was quite similar to the pink and it was just the fact that before i had had so little product on my wand, i thought the formula was made that way. SILLY ME. :D But now it is my go to mascara, because i am very sceptical about trying new mascaras.
The wand is nice, but designed in such a way, it coats some of my lashes more than others if i am not careful. However if i take my time and concentrate on where i am placing the brush and make sure to blink down onto the brush at the right time, i can achieve nice thick, long lashes!
So yes, i think i would recommend this. :D

I do like this mascara, but it's not the best I've ever tried. I find that it doesn't clump too much, which is always a plus, but false lashes? No. Nice enough though, and I also find that it holds the curl better than most other non waterproof mascaras I've used. I really appreciate that, since my lashes always seem to point down after just an hour or two normally.

i went into superdrug to purchase the original false lash effect as id wanted it for soooo long and finally had the spare cash to pick one up. i then walked over to find out that the fusion was on offer buy one get one free basically, so i thought ooo i'll just try that the wands dont look too different. the verdict? im sadly gutted with it :( it just makes my lashes look rather spidery and sparse.. kind of hard to explain but im really sad with how its turned out. hate to waste my money like that but thats the name of the make up game i suppose, trial and error!

I have medium length, straight, thin oriental/asian lashes. I was using Masterpiece, which I found much better than this. It started flaking after a month and is difficult to build layers with. It also didn't volumize well. It's a average mascara, but for my lashes Masterpiece is much better.

UK girls, this is two £12.99 in Superdrug right now, good volumisng effect, non smudge, large brush. Adequate mascara and a good buy when on a discount. Happy with the look it gives my lashes.

The mascara comes in a thick purple tube with silver writing. The thickness of the bottle hints at the large thick wand. The wand is packed with small bristles designed to volumize and lengthen eyelashes. This mascara really does give a fase lash effect, my house mate actually asked if I was wearing a pair of false lashes. My only complaint is that the mascara is so heavy, after curling my eyelashes the mascara makes the curl drop so my eyelashes tend to stick out in a rather unattractive manner. It is fair to say that my eyelashes are naturally very straight so it may not have this effect on you. Overall a good product worth the price, affordable quality

I have had this mascara several weeks now and initially i found the extra large brush clumsy and difficult to apply in a delicate manner. I have perservered with this though and now like the formula -glossy, non clumpy and the brush although too oversized once you get used to it provides buildable lash coverage and impact. Give it a try if you see this on offer.
