*BATTLE OF THE FALSIES*

Earlier this year, Maybelline released their "The Falsies Volum Express" mascara. I'm a mascara fanatic so I bought it when it came out and I loved it!

More recently, Maybelline revamped the mascara and released "The Falsies Black Drama". It's supposed to give more of a dramatic, darker look while still creating the resemblance of a false lash.

I actually accidentally ran across it in Walmart and I just had to buy it! (Yes, new cosmetic products excite me!)

Anyway I've heard both good and bad things about the mascaras so I will give my own personal take on them...so LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

These are the mascara bottles, the one to the left is the original Falsies and the other is the Black Drama.

I'll start with the original Falsies mascara. As I said before, I absolutely loved this mascara!! It gave my lashes a lot of length and it wasn't too thick. The brush that comes with it is great because it separated my lashes perfectly. I thought that it only seemed to work on me because my eye lashes are naturally long, but I've seen it used on someone that has shorter lashes and it did the same exact thing for them! I would say that this mascara does what it promises...

Now on to the Black Drama...it's O-KAY! I didn't love it nor did I hate it. I'll start with its pros: it does give a very dark look and it creates volume. I like the blackness of the mascara, I think that it would accent a smokey eye look very well. The volume of it is nothing spectacular, but it does create a little bit more. Now for the cons: the mascara is just way too thick! After one layer of it it seemed as if I had done it 20 times. It really looked as if I had only four eye lashes. I had to meticulously go through and separate my lashes with an extra lash brush that I have. After I did that, it looked a lot better. Although doing that wasn't a lot of work, I don't like to do anything extra after I've applied my mascara. I'm not exactly sure of the promises they've made with this particular mascara (it's not listed on Maybelline's website), but if it's only to create a dramatic, heavy black look, then it accomplished its goal.

SO WHAT DO I SUGGEST??? HMMMMMM............

I would definitely purchase the orginal Falsies before the Black Drama, but I don't think it will hurt to have both. It really all depends on how you like to wear your eyes. I switch mine up often, sometimes I wear light/neutral shadows and sometimes I like to have bold/dark shadows; I don't wear the same mascara with every look. If you're a lady who doesn't do much make-up, I would suggest the original Falsies for an everyday mascara. It definitely will make your eyes stand out without any liner or anything else.Basically, to sum all of this up...original Falsies is a MUST HAVE and Black Drama is OPTIONAL, but you can't really go wrong with either of them. They don't run nor are they hard to wash off!

If you want to purchase them, you can find them at Walmart for 5 BUCKS!!!!
