Believe me when I say I have NEVER been more excited for a product. Oh, the number of times I have stared at pictures of it, and envied girls abroad for flaunting it on their peepers! Humph...! And each night I used to send up little pleas to the makeup gods, whining and begging for it to no end.
Well, it seems I successfully irritated them into granting my wish and *plonk* they chucked The Falsies into India. Next morning was something along the lines of *AAAAAAAH! Omg, finaaaaally! (Fainted)*
Okay, this didn't go exactly like that, but yeah, it was sooo good to see it finally launched in India.
The breakdown...

So TA-DA! Folks, meet the newest member (wrt India) of Maybelline's Volum' Express range of mascaras, The Falsies! *Happy jig* Calming down and moving on, here is what the brand claims...
- More visible lashes
- Fills in gaps
- Instant volume
- Spoon brush
- False lash effect
- With Pro-Kera+ fibres
False lash glam, instantly! Patented Spoon Brush fans out lashes from corner-to-corner, while our Pro-Keratin formula instantly builds volume without clumping. Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of 300% more visible, fuller lashes, no gaps from any angle. Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist-tested. Waterproof, also available in washable formula.Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara- Waterproof retails for 425 INR for 7.5ml. I got it for 400/-
The breakdown...
- Packaging- Plump plastic tube in a magenta that I can't stop admiring. The cap screws on tight. Overall, quite sturdy.
- Wand- Curved and bristly, long and a little on the thin side. If the Colossal wand poked you endlessly, Falsies will not. Still, don't make the flexible brush do the samba near your eye. Just sayin'.
- Formula- I got myself the one in Very Black/Noir Intense, as it suits Indian skintones well without looking OTT, and it lives up to its name. The mascara isn't too runny, or too thick. The gods have been good! ^_^
