Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes Mascara



The other day I noticed that Coles was having a 50% off sale on all Maybelline mascaras. Even though I usually try and stop myself with mascaras, I couldn't pass up giving this one a go! For $10, I couldn't really go wrong.



This one is a double ended mascara with a normal sized wand on one side meant for you top lashes and a smaller wand on the opposite end which is meant for you bottom lashes. I really enjoyed the original Falsies mascara so I figured I'd love this one.

Not exactly. The top lashes end has a twisted design which I didn't particularly enjoy and is different to the original Falsies. I found that it gave volume but not much length at all which is something I really look for in a mascara. 
However, the lower lash brush was brilliant! It distributes just the right amount of product onto your lashes and doesn't make them look clumpy or smudged at all. 

If this were to come out with just the lower lash brush, I would definitely be purchasing but the top lash brush just doesn't do it for me.

Have you tried this one out yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below!

Maybe it's Maybelline..

In honour of the recent 50% all Maybelline at Priceline, I thought I would share with you a bunch of products I've picked up and what my first impressions of them were. 



I had to stop myself from buying more so the items I chose were:
  • Fit Me Concealer in Light
  • Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner in Black
  • Colour Sensational Lipstick in Party Pink
  • The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara in Black
  • Baby Lips Lip Balm in Mango Pie

Fit Me Concealer
This has to be one of the most amazing drugstore concealers. Not only is it super affordable but it conceals like a dream and is the perfect consistency. Hands down, my new favourite concealer.

Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner
Now I'm no expert in liner and am only really used to Maybelline's Master Precise Liquid Liner but this one I didn't find too hard. It's definitely true to it's name and has a beautiful glossy finish. It dries very quickly and is completely budge proof from my experiences. The brush is quite thin and not too long making the application easy. I can't wait to have a bit more of a play around with this one.

Colour Sensational Lipstick
This is hard and fast becoming my new favourite lipstick. The formula is beautiful and creamy and the lasting power is amazing. I find I only really have to reapply after eating. The colour is a lovely berry-toned pink and is perfect for the autumn and winter months. I would highly recommend this product and I can't wait to pick up more colours from this range.

The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara
Silly me did something I've done before. I picked this one up in the waterproof formula which I'm not much of a fan of. Clearly haven't learnt my lesson yet. None the less though, Maybelline has come through with another amazing mascara. The brush is quite firm (unlike the bendy one on The Mega Plush) and the formula is very black and very buildable. Maybelline seems to be the clear winner when it comes to drugstore mascaras so you really can't go wrong with any of them.

Baby Lips
One of the best lip balms I have tried. On sale, this was only $2 so I couldn't resist picking up yet another one. I reckon I've had all the different flavours (?). They're super moisturing, they smell amazing and you just can't go past that price point. Highly recommend.


Today is the last day of this sale and I am SO tempted to pop in to my nearest Priceline and pick up a couple more lipsticks!! 

Did you make it to the sale at all? What did you pick up?
