Love this mascara! I mean I have short and minimal hair on my lashes (Asian's eye, that's why) but I could swipe Falsies on my pathetic hairless lashes to full looking lashes! Usually when you building up mascara, it ought to become clumpy but it doesn't happen to me with Falsies. You can see why I love them now, can't you?

This was the first mascara I ever wore! It made my lashes more fuller, and added more length to them, so that was great :) Even more darker, but the issue I had with it was it had clumps. Ugh! Small clumps, but if you looked close, you could notice them. Prehaps I was using it wrong, but I doubt I was. So I probably won't buy it again.

The first time I used this, I thought it was great: my lashes looked fuller, the colour was dark enough that it stood out from behind my glasses, etc. After a week or two, however, I noticed that my eyes started to get irritated after a few hours of wearing this stuff. I realized it was also too clumpy, left my lashes hard, and was difficult to remove, resulting in quite a few eyelashes being pulled out even when I wiped my eyes as gently as possible. I gave it 2 stars because it did make my lashes appear thicker, but the clumping and stiffness were just not worth the extra volume that it gave me. There are way better mascaras out there for the same price.

This is my HG mascara. This is the best mascara I have ever used. The packaging is pretty and the applicator easy to use. My eyelashes are short, but 2 coats of this mascara works wonders on my eyes. I have used this mascara for about 2 years and will never use anything else.

I've had the falsies two times. One that was waterproof and one that wasn't. I was disappointed by the non-waterproof one because of the flakes it gave me when i applied it. I do want to test this product out again once I am done with the non-waterproof and i will definitely try to test out the waterproof black one to finalize my opinion

This is an absolute HG mascara! I have about five on the go but I always reach for this. I've tried the other volume express mascaras but they're nowhere near as good.
This is a reasonably dry formula and you know it's reaching the end of its life when you get tiny clumps in it but when it's fresh it's beautiful. It separates and omg does it lengthen! I've been asked several times whether or not I'm wearing falsies. In fact, when I got lash extensions, I could barely tell the difference between them and this mascara. It's not too bad on volume either (not fabulous but not bad)
The non-waterproof one lasts all day without a single smudge (as the mascara reaches the end of its life it does flake a little) and its easy to take off (is swipe it gently with Almay makeup remover pads).
At AU$20 it's a little pricey but on par with all the other drugstore mascaras here and Maybelline us always discounted somewhere. Nevertheless I'd happily pay high end prices for this. I have and will continue to repurchase

I really like Loreal Voluminous Waterproof in Carbon Black best for a d/s mascara. That said, I've had an awfully difficult time removing it, even with a good makeup remover such as Neut. Oil-Free. I feel that over time, the LV-W has cause lash loss.
So, trying this, I picked it up in the formula which is *not* waterproof, so as to avoid previous issue. It lengthens decently, but volume is just so-so. It did straighten out my lashes, so had to curl them just a bit after the mascara dried. That way, they seem to hold a lift on my hard-to-curl lashes which are naturally stick-straight.
Will report back on wearability, flaking and removal later.

I think this is one of my favorite mascaras ever. It makes lashes look intense quickly. Definitely a "are those lashes real?" look. So very cool and it does not smudge or flake all day, at least on me, even after a nap my lashes were still mad extreme! It washes off beautifully with no tugging or problems too. It makes the lashes you have look their very best. Love this mascara a whole lot! Absolutely recommend.

I really love this mascara. I've had it for at least 2 months now and it's still going strong (as do all of my maybelline mascaras). I bought the black drama edition but there's not much difference from the original; it gives great volume and definition to your lashes and I love the curved wand shape too. The only problem is that it can be quite messy to apply and tends to clump. I don't really have a problem with this as I can just use a cotton bud to clean up, but I can tell that it would annoy some people. But still, it's a great mascara if you want serious volume.

I really love this mascara :D It's strikingly beautiful and emphasises my short lashes (asian lashes TT^TT). I got the non-waterproof one, so I have to keep my eyes open and avoid blinking to print mascara on my under eye area XD. I really see the difference because I usually can't see my lashes because they go downwards but after I curl and apply only one coat, I can see them go va-va-voom :]! However, for a teen, this is quite expensive in Australia for a drugstore product (around $20 AUD) so I got it during a discount and will only repurchase when it is heavily discounted! Otherwise, love it. Will keep loving it. You should try it!
