I posted my review on Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara at Chickadvisor.com and wanted to share my thoughts and pictures with you. If you found my review helpful  give me a vote there. Cheers!

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a tube of Maybelline New York The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara to review and coupons to share with friends, family, co-workers.

The highly pigmented, and rich pro-keratin fibre formula significantly lengthened my lashes and provide noticeable volume. In my opinion, this mascara adds more length than volume. I have yet to find any other mascara that lengthens as well as The Falsies, but I have had achieved better volume with Maybelline’s XXL Pro Volume Mascara.

My next amazement was the technology behind the brush. The curved brush was able to grab every single eyelash (yes, including the baby lashes) and fan out my lashes. Finally, I’m very happy that the product is long-wearing; I did not experience any flaking, smudging or clumping. In other words, this mascara has lasted through intensive physical activity (i.e. running), heat, and humidity.

Despite applying several coats of the product on I wasn't able to achieve the 'false lashes look' or anything close with this mascara. However, the product was not a total disappointment for me. I intend on purchasing this mascara in the future and I have already recommended this product to several friends. This is my favorite mascara on the market that I have stumbled upon.

The mascara has a self-life of six months.
