17 - SEVENTEEN Falsifeye HD Mascara Review + test

Hi all!

This month I came across a new 17 mascara Falsifeye HD while shopping at Boots.

Introductory offer caught my eye as well as the very attractive price - £4.99 (regular price £6.99).

SEVENTEEN is a boots own make- up brand which was originally designed for the younger generation with bold, bright colors and more affordable prices than No7 make-up by Boots.

For the past few years I've noticed that the brand has really grown and improved their range of products, and the quality is brilliant! But here I wanted to introduce and quickly review their new Falsifeye HD mascara in Blackest Black.

Here is the official product description:

"94% of users saw more definition*

93% of users saw separated lashes*

92% of users saw long lasting results*

76% of users said this mascara DOUBLED the volume of their lashes Vs bare lashes

*results observed in a consumer panel survey using 2 coats

How to Use

• Curl the lashes upwards using the flat side of the brush, twisting the brush while applying the mascara.

• Through this twisting action, the lashes are combed and defined by the longer bristles, which stroke through the mascara from root to tip & separates each lash, for clump free application!

•When applying, use a delicate zig-zag motion, to ensure lashes are fully coated from root to tip for maximum definition!

• Use the tip of the brush for more accuracy, to capture the tiny lashes at the corners of the eyes!

• Additional layers will create more volume.

Ingredients

The brush:

• This unique all-in-one brush has two different application zones, which means mascara can be loaded easily onto the lashes and combed through.

• The shorter bristles on the flat side of the brush hold more of the mascara bulk, ready to apply to the lashes

• The longer bristles of the brush comb through the mascara from root to tip, making the lashes appear more defined, volumised and longer.

• The conical shaped tip of the brush helps with the application of mascara to the tiny, hard to catch lashes at the corners of the eyes.

Product Packaging

The brush/wand is rubber mix and is perfectly shaped with long and short bristles for even and clean application

Right the choice of a shape and the material from which the brush is made is always very personal. I do like the classic/natural bristles as well as the plastic/rubber ones, it all depends on what kind of look I want to go for.

For natural and flattering effect I would recommend using a natural/classic wand and for a very dramatic effect the plastic one as it does make lashes look fuller, longer and darker at the same time, at least in this case it does. I adore this brush I wish I could get hold of disposable versions of it...

Ok now time for a BIG WOW effect...

First my "naked" lashes before...





And now after applying the product....

Well I reckon if I kept adding layers I would end up with a real fake lashes effect. I must admit I was so pleased with the result after I'd tested it, that I run back to Boots the very next day and got two more mascaras :)
I've been wearing it for the past two weeks every day for at least 14 hours and I can confirm that -
After applying 2 coats this mascara:
Does not clump
Is long lasting, Smudge proof & does not flake
Adds volume & length from corner to corner
Lifts & curls lashes from corner to corner
Adds thickness to lashes
I think for this quality product you would have to pay a lot more. So well done again 17!
