Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara Review + Free Gift

I bought this the other day with my other bits and pieces, but I wanted to talk about it seperately.

I've already got the lash extension effect mascara from Max Factor and really wanted to try out their false lash effect one. While the lash extension effect mascara is good for making your eyelashes look longer, it's more of a natural look, whereas I wanted something dramatic - and Max factor did not disappoint!

Firstly, There is currently an offer on where if you spend £15 on MF cosmetics in Boots, you get a free gift bag with things worth £25 in it. However, there is also a 3 for 2 offer on MF makeup in Superdrug so I guess you'll have to decide what you want more. So anyway, I bought my lash extension effect mascara and a lipliner so I could get my free gift:

On the Right are the false lash effect and my lipliner. Everything else is with the free gift although I forgot to put my lippy in the picture. You get shade 510 - English rose and this is a picture of me wearing it:



I really like this colour :) And it's full sized aswell (and even if it isn't, you still get a lot in it... I have similar full sized lipsticks...) So I think that it was well worth spending £15 on the mascara I wanted and an extra lipliner, just to get this beauty! It also comes with a 5(ish)ml masterpiece mascara which I haven't tried yet among other things.

**note, the brushes on the false lash effect & masterpiece were awfully similar, masterpiece was £1 cheaper but if you look at the mls... Masterpiece had something like 6.3m whereas false has 13.1ml**

I've tried to do a before and after pic of the mascara, but they are blurry, but I think you can still tell the difference. Please note that the before picture may have slight remains on from when i was wearing the same mascara last night, I got the waterproof one - and boy was it waterproof! I couldn't even get this off with soap but I wasn't really bothered about leaving it on anyway. I woke up this morning and my mum said to me "Wow Emma, you don't even have panda eyes" and the mascara had totally stayed where it was meant to be!
Anyway...
Before:

After:




Just a random piece to end...


I dropped my mascara on the floor and it made this pattern on the floor. All I can say is that there is a LOT of mascara on the brush! (not complaining at all, I love the mascara)


Finally, I just want to say that I have not been paid to do this review and the product was bought with my own money. I hold no bias over this product and anything I say is in my opinion :)

Love,
Emz ♥
