Maybelline Redeems Herself!

Sorry I've been gone so long!

Let's kick the blog back off with a review of the controversial Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes mascara.

So I originally was interested in this mascara because of the bottom lash wand. I do own (and love!) Clinique's Bottom Lash mascara, but it is quite pricey for such a small item! While Clinique's Bottom Lash runs $10 a tube, Big Eyes runs $6.99 at places like Target and The Christmas Tree Shop ($5.09 on Target's website...). I was also in need of a waterproof mascara, since I work at a summer camp.

Most people I have spoken with about this mascara don't like the top brush because it seems to e different from the Falsies Original and Black Drama, both of which, I did not like. I however like the change! I also think the formula was revamped! It's much less clumpy and really does open up your eyes!

The longevity of this mascara is incredible! I didn't need a primer, but I did curl my eyelashes as always. My eyelashes didn't flop over. Nor did the product smudge, fade or flake off, like Black Drama or the original.

After about two coats (drying in between) did I notice a bit of clumping. However, I do like the spidery look, so I always do two coats of mascara.
