I LOVE this mascara! It's my absolute favorite of all drug store brands. But it has to be the Black Drama version. Idk what's so different about this mascara but it makes my lashes look longer and thicker than anything else at the drug store and doesn't flake off and irritate either. That being said, I LOVE thick heavy lashes. So If you are more into a natural and clump free feel then you may not like this as much as I do.

This is a pretty good mascara. Not AMAZING, but I remember when I first tried it, I was amazed by it. It really volumized my eyelashes, but did not provide much length at all. I have short eyelashes, so this was a bit of an issue. However, I felt it dried out pretty fast and I became less and less impressed by it.

The curved wand is pretty convenient, but the big bristles makes it hard to use on my lower lash line. It's good for volumizing, but not so much for separating or lengthening. If that's what you're going for, then it's a great mascara! Just not for me :(

Over the weekend, I bought this on clearance at Target for $3.00 and figured it would be okay for when I want major volume and really deep color. Daily, I usually go for length and definition. I was pleasantly surprised at how much lashes this created, how long they were, how well it curled and how long this lasted once applied. Major requirement to avoid clumps- you MUST wipe the wand before applying and wipe between coats!! Now, as a general rule, I do this with ALL new mascaras but its mandatory with this one. However, if you do wipe the wand and are careful in application, you will get some crazy full, long, dark lashes that last about all day. I didn't find that it smeared around my eyes, either on my lid or underneath, and my combination skin can get oily around the eyes/lids. It did seem to "fade" as they day went on but I didn't see any noticeable flakes. If this continues to perform as well, I'd buy it again.

I like the volume and fullness this mascara gives my eyelashes, but unfortunately it also clumps and makes my lashes stick together. I also have a hard time removing it which is super annoying.

At first I hated this. It was wet and clumpy and the brush felt strange but when I realised how to use It I started to love it. I recommend wiping the brush off for the first few uses as it holds way too much product. It is very black and doesn't flake but feels a bit dry and stiff on the lashes. It's a great cheap mascara and you won't be disappointed

Loved this mascara! It goes on well and kept the dramatic look all day. It doesn't go on clumpy and gives lashes a longer look. Only down side is that it's hard to get off at the end of the day. Otherwise love it!

I LOVE the dramatic effect, lengthening ability and stying power, I really don't understand what's happening with some others when they say it smudges on their face and eyes. After applying, I do fan with my hands or use the hand-held fan to ensure mine are dry. The only issue that I have is that this product is difficult to remove.

Was cautious to buy a maybelline mascara as I have never liked them before, but this mascara is great and definitely gives you the drama false lash effect. Looks extremely dark, lengthened slightly and added volume. Top off with eye lash curlers and you're good to go!

OMG HG MASCARA! I have a decent amount of lashes. They're medium length, and light in color. I LOVE how this mascara keeps them curled, spearated and dark. The shape of the wand fits perfectly among allll those teeny lashes. I have used the infamous l'oreal carbon black, i have even splurged on chanel and lancom. Nope. Always go back to this 7 dollar mascara. Love love love. I always have 2 backups.

Once I tried this product with my hard-to-curl lashes, I never went back to another mascara! This mascara holds the curl the entire day and doesn't smudge for me. I've been using this for nearly 2 years now. I've gotten many compliments on my eyeswhen I use this mascara :)

This mascara is definitely never going in my makeup bag ever again. It starts out ok but, by the end of the day, my entire eye area is nothing but a black smudgy mess. I tried it out until I could go to the store to get different mascara (approximately a week) and got the same results every single day.

I've been needing a new mascara and I loved the original Falsies, so I thought this would be nice..
but it's super wet, and apparently never dries because it ends up smudged all over my face!
it applies nicely to my eyelashes, and they look nice.. until it melts off and i'm dealing with black lines all over my face.
It's a waste of $7 bucks.

If you want a good mascara try Covergirl LashBlastVolume, it's in an orange tube with a pink cap. It's amazing.

I love what this mascara does for my lashes! My eyelashes have a decent amount of length and thickness, but they are blonde and mostly invisible on their own. This mascara plumps them up really nicely without gooeyness, clumpiness or artificial looking tips. I usually wiggle the shorter side of the brush against the roots for volume, then finish coating the rest of the lashes with the longer bristles. The only thing I don't like about this mascara is the smell...it reminds me of Elmer's glue. However, I like the results too much to really mind.

This mascara was not a good one. Will not be repurchasing.
Cons:
-smudges, flakes, weird hairs on the brush.
Pros:
-waterproof, gives length and some volume.

Iv'e tryed the high-end mascaras and iv'e tryed the cheap drugstore mascaras but this by far is the best mascara that iv'e tryed!! I use the collosal volume the original one with it and my lashes are crazy long! This mascara is mostly used for volume i think because when you first put it on its more of making your lashes thicker! Then them actually being long! This goes on very thick & heavy so if you are looking for the thin natural look! Then don't buy this because the NAME definitley explains what type mascara this is! It's a very ( dramatic ) and ( full ) look this is from now on gonna be my everyday for the rest of my life mascara! Its the best that the drug-store has! It's a good price & perfect ! :)

What a clumpy mess!!! I have fairly long nice lashes but this mascara does nothing for them. It gives a bit of volume, but very clumpy, and not really any length.
I didn't like the curved brush either, I found it difficult to use and it smudged mascara in places I didn't want it.
If it does this when I use it, I can only imagine what a mess it would be for someone with shorter lashes!

I like the Falsies Flared formula, and have repurchased that one a couple times. Because my drugstore was out of that formula, I picked up the Falsies Black Drama instead. I HATED this mascara. It clumped horribly on me, and left tiny black flakes of product on my cheeks. I ended up throwing this mascara away.

I have this in waterproof and I must say I really like this mascara I did expect it to be a bit more black though and it does tend to dry up rather quickly but other than that great mascara ,

My favorite mascara! I use 2 coats to achieve the best effect. Isn't clumpy, separates, adds volume and length. I get comments on my lashes all the time! People ask me if I have extensions!

When you get a new tube, the first 5 times or so that you use it, it's a bit too watery and doesn't give you the oompf you're looking for, it needs to "dry out" a tad. Then it turns into the most awesome mascara ever. I don't know what i'll do if this ever gets discontinued!!!
