I love all Flasies mascara but this has to be my favorite! My eye lashes aren't that great and they don't like to curl, but falsies makes me look like I've got decently long and full eye lashes. My lashes look thick and it even looks great when I only use the mascara and no eyeliner. If you're looking for something to give you full lashes, try this out (:

This is the best mascara I have ever found, and I have tried literally dozens, both high and low end, over the years. I picked it up purely on a whim as I used to love Full'n'Soft, now unavailable in the UK, and Boots does not sell Definicils. For information, I have medium length, fine eyelashes. The brush does always need wiping, and I coat the top of my upper lashes once as well as the undersides. I brush up several times, redip the wand and apply another coat. The result is just amazing - I actually cannot believe it! My eyelashes get volume, length and that curved upwards look, all fanned out. They really do look almost like false eyelashes, but in a good way false - like my own eyelashes have improved ten-fold. If I hadn't tried this, i would never have believed it! No clumping, or smearing or migration, lasts all day and comes off with warm water. Will never buy anything else again and can't mark it too highly. Best beauty product I have found in a long time! :-)

I don't know if it's just my sensitive nose but this stuff smells weird! It kind of smells like flowers, specifically roses. When I first purchased this last year I honestly thought I had a defected one because of the cut in the wand, so I tried it and didn't like it so I threw it away. Now, a year later, I decided to give it another shot and repurchased it. Surprisingly the cut in the wand was NOT a defect, silly me. I still didn't like the smell and it does absolutely nothing for my lashes. This stuff can't hold a curl if it's life depended on it. As soon as I apply it on it quickly weighs down my lashes and has them fall flat.

I LOVE THIS MASCARA. It has beat out my YSL faux cils, DiorShow blackout, AND Benefit BadGal lash.

I always get the prettiest curl and my lashes really do "flare" out! My lashes are also separate, thicken, and are defined. I put on one coat of this when I'm in a hurry with my m/u and I don't do anything else with my eyes because this is enough!

It is a bit wet when you first get it, but keep using it and it gets SO much better!

HG status!

ok. So I bought this after a couple of youtube gurus I was watching raved about it. I tried it and the formula seems a little too clumpy for me, and I didn't like the fact that it flaked a bit. I am going to give it one more go after reading a fellow reviewer's tip not to use more than two coats to avoid spidery lashes..if that doesn't work, back to the store it goes.

I was very very excited when I saw this hit the market. I am a huge fan of the original "The Falsies" - a HUGE fan, HUGE - half the time when applying it I feel compelled to paint my face the colors of the tube and find friends to tailgate with.


I don't really understand why I was so let down!!! I mean, technically it's "The Falsies" right? Technically it's really just allegedly the shape of the wand that is different? But no... it seems to me the formula is different too. (And smells like.... chocolate??? WTF is that?!?!?)


Thumbs down - it makes your eyelashes look thinner and too 'wet'. It doesn't not give you that false-eyelash thickness of the original Falsies.


Stick with the original. (And if you have not tried the original, do NOT judge it by the flared!)

I can't believe this mascara doesn't have higher reviews! I get complimented on my eyelashes all the time since I started using Falsies Flared. It does exactly what the name implies. My eyelashes literally curl right up and flare out. The only thing I caution is to not use more than two coats. It tends to get spidery with over-application. Def my HG mascara!

The falsies flared builds volume very quickly. It does seem to lengthen very slightly, but for me, there's much more emphasis on volume. With continuous strokes of the brush, the volume builds very quickly. You really only need a few sweeps and you'll be done - otherwise you'll risk your lashes clumping together. It is definitely a clumpy mascara.
My lashes did dry pretty quickly and it's very difficult to comb through your lashes with a lash comb, unless the mascara is still wet. But I did like the end result. I really did get a decent amount of volume with slight curl and it looked very pretty.
Lastly, this mascara ended up flaking on me if I have used a lash comb and without. The small flakes that fell under my eyes without notice then smudged. I did not notice until I wash washing my hands in the mall bathroom and looked in the mirror I was like wtf since my mu was applied before leaving to go to the mall. So for me this starting flaking rather quickly. I tried it a few more times and the same thing happend so I gave up due to flaking and making this darker under my eyes. I also had slight ichy eyes the few times I tried this I think from the flaking irritating my eyes and contacts,I'm guessing.
I overall loved the way this mascara made my lashes look but I will not re-purchase due to all the flaking issues. I just can't try it again and do that to myself, I won't.

I love this mascara! It is now my go-to everyday mascara. Of course it isn't going to give you the look of false lashes (commercials always lie) but it is very dramatic. It lengthens and thickens very well. I really love the curve of the brush too. I will be repurchasing again.
