LoL. I always roll my eyes and just shake my head at those commercials. There’s no reason to make it so dark and vampire-y like you say. The commercial that annoyed me was a Nivea Goodbye cellulite one, where they had a super skinny girl and she was all happy about using the anti cellulite cream. It just bugged me for some reason. That’s why I like DVR so much, can fast forward those silly ads.
LOL I’ve never seen this commercial, but I see what you mean. This is why I love my DVR. I get to skip those commercials.
Um, not going to be riding a motorcycle in a leather mini skirt. But, then, I’m not going to be running in a mini skirt and boots, either.
That commercial reminds me of the big fashion idea of a few years ago - the heroin look.
I think it says something that the first thing I thought of was: eye infection, followed by ewww - couldn’t wear my contacts with those. Yep, it’s official. I’m a fuddy duddy.
Maybe she’s born with it? I think the word “Falsies” says it all. I’ve already publicly admitted I’m a mascara addict, willing to believe any crap Maybelline, Cover Girl or L’Oreal heaves on me. I’m weak and my lashes are skimpy, I get pulled in and splurge on any new $6 mascara whenever I can.
As the ad with Brook Shields says, I “suffer from inadequate lash syndrome” and I’m always on the lookout for those eyelashes I lost in the past.
At this very moment I’m holding a partially used tube of “Falsies” mascara in “Blackest-black” (that means it’s so black it’s beyond the blackest black of any known black realm, it’s goes to 11, and its even blacker than “carbon” black, which is supposedly a lighter more tasteful shade of black mascara…)
Honestly, “Falsies” mascara does crap! It does not build lashes remotely close to any of their claims. Those models in the ads are wearing double or even triple pairs of false eyelashes and saying it’s the mascara. Shame on them.
I don’t want to look like the ad, I just my mascara to build quickly… Am I asking too much?
Last week, I foolishly wore Falsies mascara to the gym and walked out with one eye (not both) looking like a raccoon. Why just one eye? It almost looked rackish, like an eye patch, but its still not a flattering look for a gal.
My experiment in Falsies glamor is over. The tube is going into the trash right now… I admit I wasted another $6 dollars. I’m just scared that if I leave it lying around I might forget about it’s weird one-eyed cyclopic tendencies and use it again by mistake.
So, to review, if Falsies mascara worked you would look like a vampire child of the night Rupaul drag queen, when it doesn’t work you risk looking like a one-eye raccoon.
Learn from my mistakes and spare yourselves the embarrassment and save $6, don’t bother with Falsies mascara it won’t make your flirty vampire dreams come true.

Kat…LMAO! I can see you with your pirate patch raccoon eye! I’ve always had short lashes, unlike my kids who have amazing lashes. But all mascara does is gunk mine up. Occasionally I’ll use Bobby Brown - worth the price, doesn’t clump.
Hi Karen, welcome! We all know it’s fantasy, but wow, this is unappealing! Yes, it is the heroin look which I too thought went out of style long ago and good riddance!
Oh Delilah, yes, that insulting Nivea cellulite cream using a model who wouldn’t know cellulite from cream cheese! I hate that commercial!
LOL and thanks for the mention, Julia. And stay off the bugs.
You’re welcome, PG, but man, that commercial…
Oh I forgot to mention the ant-aging skin cream commercials featuring 26 year models… Is that even fair?
XXOO Kat
Excuse me I meant anti-aging… I don’t care if ants look their age, it just gives them more character.
Kat - LOL! Yes, but I do care if ants look their age!
Oh, Kat, another one of my pet peeves. Yes, you too can be sixty years old and look like this if you use our cream! Right…
