 Maybelline Volum’ Express the Falsies Mascara ($7.49)
- Patented Spoon brush and Kera-fiber formula instantly build 8x more volume without clumping.
- Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of 300% more lashes.
- Ophthalmologist tested
- Contact lens safe
My Thoughts:
This is an okay mascara. It’s not one of Maybelline’s bests. I was able to get long lashes with a bit of volume but not falsies like lashes. For some reason, I was hoping for super thick, long lashes. I didn’t like how the formula was really wet. The wet formula caused my lashes to clump together, but nothing a lash comb can’t cure. It was more of a nuisance. I also didn’t like how difficult it was to remove. No matter how much you soak and rub, traces of the mascara still clings to your lashes. The flexible wand was a bit weird. I haven’t gotten used to it yet so I felt it made applying a little bit more difficult. Volum’ Express the Falsies mascara is not an everyday mascara. It’s more of a night-out-on-town kind of mascara. I would have to say Maybelline Volum’ Express the Falsies Mascara is a high maintenance mascara. If you have time and patience to apply and remove the mascara, it could possibly be a holy grail.

 Maybelline XXL Pro 24 HR Bold Mascara ($6.49) This mascara is a 2 step mascara. The first step is primer that is black instead of white which I love because you don’t have to worry about the white showing or the black color turning grey. I’m not sure if the mascara can last 24 hours because I have never worn the mascara for that long. Although, it did last all day and night. The best feature of Maybelline XXL Pro 24 HR Bold mascara is that it will give your lashes a lot of volume boost. I found 1 coat is adequate enough for volume. With 2 coats, you will get enough volume to create the look of false eyelashes. However, I did notice a bit of flaking when applying the second coat of mascara. I also found it a bit more difficult to remove the mascara than other mascaras.

 Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini Brush Mascara ($7.99)
Why You’ll Love It
Exclusive lash-catching mini-brush allows you to get hard-to-reach lashes – from corner to corner, root to tip and the bottom, too.
- Lengthens and defines lashes
- No clumps or globs
- Contact lens safe and hypoallergenic
- Washable; also available in waterproof formula
My Thoughts:
If you’re looking for a way to enhance your lashes but not in an axtreme way, give Maybelline Lash Discovery Mini Brush Mascara a try. The small tiny brush allows you to reach and coat all your lashes – top and bottom. You’ll discover lashes you didn’t know you had! The mascara dries really fast. I mean fast. Even though a fast drying mascara is great when applying, it could mean the mascara itself will dry out quickly in the tube. The mascara isn’t the darkest black mascara, but it will do if you’re going for a natural look. I experienced no clumping and it held my curled lashes perfectly. Another great mascara byMaybelline.

 Maybelline XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara ($7.99)
Why You’ll Love It
Visibly lengthens lashes 40% and creates up to 6X the volume.
- Clump-free, smudge-free
- Ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens users
- Washable; also available in waterproof formula
My Thoughts:
Not great of a mascara as I was hoping for. It didn’t add any volume at all, but I did get some length. When I applied the mascara, my lashes would stick together. Also, the primer that is applied first turned the black colored mascara a greyish black. I also noticed little bits of mascara flakes and smudges underneath my eyes at the end of the day. Not attractive at all. It can’t hold a curl either because of the extra layers you have add layer on. It’s just too heavy. Save your money.

 Maybelline Sky High Curves Mascara ($6.79)
Why You’ll Love It
This lengthening and curling mascara sets lashes to a daring 30-degree curve.
- No clumps, no globs
- Contact lens safe and hypoallergenic
- Washable; also available in waterproof formula
My Thoughts:
Maybelline Sky High Curves is an okay mascara. It does hold a curl, but it didn’t give me the amount of length I was hoping for. It’s great for a daytime mascara. There were no clumps or over drying of lashes. There was a tad bit of smudging at the end of the day, but it was nothing to freak out over. Sky High Curves just isn’t a wow! mascara for me. I heard Maybelline is discontinuing this mascara, so if you love it you better stock up befor it’s gone….
