Maybelline The Falsies & Full 'N Soft: The review

My lashes need all the help they can get so I love trying out new mascaras. I remember seeing 'Full 'n Soft' on Laura's blog (buy now blog later) ageeeees ago and really wanted to try it for a more natural look. More specifically the beach, because my eyes look so undefined without a little mascara but didn't want to look like I was wearing makeup.  'The Falsies' had been getting a pretty good wrap over the past few months so I picked that one up to. I purchases these quite a while ago so have had plenty of time to test them out. Both mascaras have brush/bristle wands, not plastic as I'm not really a fan.

Lets start with Full 'n Soft. I have the waterproof version as I wanted to wear it to the beach. It does stay on well and doesn't smudge as easily but I wouldn't say its waterproof skills are life changing. The wand is pretty standard and simple - no fuss and fiddling. This mascara is amazing. It does exactly what it claims to. You get softer, fuller, natural looking, clump free lashes. Perfect for casual days or times when you want to go for the natural look. love it.

The Falsies is the total opposite of Full 'n Soft. Lashes are longer and more voluminous. I have short, straight lashes and this is the best mascara I have ever used for dramatic lashes. The curved wand really scoops and helps to flare the lashes. I truly love this mascara. It can get a little clumpy if your note careful but its totally workable.

The one thing I've always had trouble with is finding a mascara that holds a curl. My lashes are very straight and quite short. I ALWAYS use an eyelash curler and my lashes curl but after an hour or so they've dropped. Neither of these have been able to hold a curl amazingly (but I think thats my lashes) so I'm still on the hunt. 

I will definitely be repurchasing both of these mascaras nonetheless!
