Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I absolutely loved this product and the result. Full thick lashes, no clumping. Only reason I stopped using it was that the company tested on animals.

I have long but thin lashes, so I like mascaras that can add as much definition and volume as possible without looking clumpy. I thought this would be the perfect mascara to do just that, seeing as it boasts 9x your natural lash volume instantly. To be fair, this mascara does exactly what it says it will; add a huge amount of volume! However, this volume comes at the expense of definition. This is a very thick mascara that made my lashes clump together rather than look thicker and stand out. The result is eyelashes that look very obviously coated in mascara in a way that slightly resembles spider's legs. Although this mascara didn't give me the look I was hoping for, everyone's eyelashes are different so I am sure it would work better for someone with slightly thicker eyelashes than mine so the clumping is less obvious.

I think this is a great, drug store mascara that's pretty cheap and cheerful. It does a good job making by lashes look thick and dark which is awesome! It also gives them some nice lift. It doesn't clump up but can gives you really good, dark, thick lashes. If you're looking for a more subtle, basic mascara I would look elsewhere.

It's super easy to apply but make sure you don't over do it!

I would probably buy this again but I think there are better mascaras out there that i would purchase ahead of this one. This is an awesome drugstore option though!

I liked this mascara for a mascara that you don't need it to last all day, only because I found it does transfer and flake after a few hours on me anyway. The formula is quite wet and because the brush is quite a large fluffy one you do have to apply carefully or it can get messy real quick. My favorite types of mascara formulas are more so on the dryer side and I like my wands just a bit smaller. It's not by any means a bad mascara it's just personal preference. I've left mine alone for a while I'm wondering if this is the type of mascara that gets a bit better when left to get a bit older and a wee bit dried out so I would be interested to see if that's the case foe this one.

Fantastic product if you want an affordable option that actually lifts and Curls. My only con is it gives me panda eyes after a night out, but that would be me pushing the product to its limit!! It’s a great alternative to the luxury brands and when I’m on a budget it is the one I grab!!

Works well after using a curler to hold them in place, nice formula but clumps easily and I found it wasn't a buildable mascara. A good product overall if used carefully.

My cousin gave me one of these a while ago and I didn't expect to be impressed. While I am very picky and choosy about what I'll buy, this is fantastic considering the price. Definitely impressed, though I did find the formula kind if thick which meant I got a bit of clumpyness (that's probably more my fault, I love to apply about a million coats!). I don't really mind the clumps depending on the look I'm going for, but this one doesn't give you a natural looking finish. Having said that, it is meant for volume, which it certainly gave. I used this to go out and I really liked the effect. I'd definitely get this again if I was in need a a cheapie in a hurry.
