First of all, if you think that any mascara will make your lashes look like this, like Judas Priest says "you've got another thing coming". Mascara commercials so obviously use fake lashes on their models; it's almost insulting - do they really believe people are that stupid?! Don't answer that.
Here's the result I got from a light application of Maybelline Falsies mascara.
This mascara isn't all bad, but it didn't impress me enough to give it a "bank" rating. It's pretty cheap, I paid $5.94 at Target = pro. It did not weigh down my lashes = pro. But (here comes the cons) it transferred to my under-eye area (I was using waterproof), it flaked (who doesn't hate that?), and after working out, it was barely there (waterproof?).
I guess I expect a lot from my mascara, but CoverGirl's Exact Eyelights delivers on all my expectations. You're probably wondering why I decided to try something new. Eh... your guess is as good as mine.
