Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

So I felt like my lashes were thicker heavier etc, but I think that is just the heavy cakey nature of this product, it felt clumpy and didn't give me the look I wanted. Tended to look cheap on.

Since I first found this mascara about 3 tubes ago I haven't swapped and am constantly stoked with how good a job it does! Huge lashes all the way!!

My hands down favourite drug store mascara of all time. I keep going back to it. However, it can get a wee bit clumpy but it doesn't bug me too much. It gives me amazing length and volume. I wouldn't use too many layers of this though as it can give you spider-leg lashes.

This is a fantastic mascara. One of my absolute favourites. The brush is soft on my lashes, very sturdy and thick and the end of it gets to all those hard to reach places like your corner lashes. It's easy to apply - occasionally it can come out clumpy but it's easily fixed. It dries quickly and seperates your lashes well. I use two coats to get the best look for me and is one of my everyday mascaras! Have repurchased 3 times now!

Was looking forward to trying this one when I saw it on sale at Countdown as part of the beauty sale. I wish I had read the reviews before I did.

I applied the first coat...nothing colossal went on. Tried another coat, still nothing....after about 6 coats later I did see that my lashes had some improvement with them, but definitely not what the product claimed to offer.

Not a fan!

Ive been using this mascara for so long now, gives nice length to your lashes and doesn't clump them up, can apply several coats for a fuller look or fewer for a more natural one

This product does everything it say it does Love love love it never leave home without it on and take it with me ..... Never know when you made need to touch up :)

I nearly finished my first tube of this mascara and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. First of all, it can get very clumpy, so I have to be very careful not to apply more than one coats, I still need to separate my lashes sometimes, it isn't how I imagined "colossal". I purchased it because of all the good raves about it and maybe I set my expectations too high!? However I purchased the waterproof one and it really is waterproof. I have to bike to work and sometimes I'm lucky enough to bike in pissing down rain and I always check my mascara upon arrival and there is no one crease or black stain on my face at all, amazing!!

The first time I used this mascara it did wonders. My lashes were long, had great volume and spread evenly without clumps. After time - even on the second or third application actually it started to become a nightmare for me to get both of my lashes looking the same the application brush was really sticky and gave my eyelashes huge lumps of mascara on the end - not ideal. I'm not very picky when it comes to mascara but if I wouldn't use it again I would not recommend it to any of my friends.
