#thethriftyshopper My 10 piece #bootleg set of Artis Brushes. This is not the brand name set, but worked perfectly in my opinion. This set is ideal for those with issues with applying makeup or health issues that affection coordination such as fibro. Since I've always used regular brushes, this was awkward to try at first, but easier as I finished my face. This set is $9 as opposed to the brand name which are about $400. Wash new brushes before using them for the first time. Store them laid down instead of a brush holder as these are very top heavy and call easily fall out and break. The handles are plastic, not metal like the original Artis Brushes. I got these from #WishApp #makeup #brushes #brushesfordays #artis #dupe #fibromyalgia #fibrofriendlyproducts

Review: Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Flared Mascara

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Flared Mascara:

THE BASICS: This mascara claims to create a babydoll-like effect using only a few coats. They state the mascara provides "300% MORE VISIBLE LASHES. Winged out & over the top, instantly!" due to their "PRO-KERATIN FORMULA + SPOON CURLER BRUSH."*  

THE EXPERIENCE: After unsuccessfully trying to create the same look they promised using countless other mascaras, I figured why not. So while shopping at my local grocery store, I decided to pick up Maybelline's The Falsies Flared mascara to see if the product could actually live up to the promises made by the company. I spent around $6 (maybe $7) for the product, and I'll admit, I was a bit shy after so many mascara flops. But curiousity won, so in the cart it went. 

Alrighty, I thought. Let's see what you have to offer me. So, I unscrewed cap, pulled up the wand, and...oh..it has that spoon design...I wasn't quite sure how I felt about that feature (although I did have one mascara I used to LOVE and it too had a spoon like brush..then again, I've had some flops with that design, too..). So, I dipped, scraped, and applied. Now, allow me to add a slight disclosure...No one ever taught me how to apply makeup until I worked for a company in my early twenties. With that said, I still had no idea how to use a spoon-designed brush (I guessed on my first mascara with that design). I recently discovered I was using it incorrectly...ish.....But more on that later. 

I applied a few coats and I have to say, I liked what I saw. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't seem to have a lot of issues with clumps. I continued applying a few more coats (one never seems enough), and took a close look in the mirror to examine the results. Although it did not provide the babydoll look as promised, it did provide a babydoll-like look...just a bit differently (less dramatically). Unlike most mascaras, I noticed it stayed on the lashes...not all over my eyelids as usual. I was impressed. I noticed my lashes looked fuller, longer, expanded, and overall pretty cool. I was actually getting some results I liked!

WHY IT SUCCEEDED: The success is in the brush. Remember when I said I didn't know how to properly use a mascara brush with a spoon-like design, but we would re-visit this later? Welcome to later. So, I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know which side to use of the brush. The part that dips in or the part that...well...doesn't? When using The Falsies Flared, I used the part that curved out for the first few coats before flipping the brush around to use the part that curves in. Because of this technique, I was able to build volume then separate the lashes when I flipped the brush around.

Now, with that said, let me just add this last bit of info: no matter which way you use the brush, you can achieve different results (not too dramatic, but enough to create attention). And, because of the formula, it doesn't create a lot of clumps. 

RATING: On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the ultimate makeup wonder), I give this one a solid 7.
