Maybelline Colossal Mascara

I purchased this because of all the good reviews on here. It was on special for $21 at the warehouse which I think is quite expensive but I really wanted to try it out. Its ok, not bad, not amazing, its really good at coating lashes without clumping lashes, so my lashes look clean and separated. Not that great at lengthening lashes, hence 4 stars. I'm looking for a mascara that gives more length. But this mascara did make my eyes look more awake,clean and tidy if that makes sense. This mascara would be amazing if I naturally had long lashes.

Tips: Good at keeping lashes separate without clumping but not good at lengthening.

No Fail mascara

I really like this mascara. It is one i regularly purchase as it is affordable and does the job well. It has a larger brush tip which can make applying the formula to the bottom lashes a bit messy. But it does create thick black lashes. But don't apply too many coats as it will clump the lashes easily.

Good for a day time look but....

I thought I would give this mascara a go after reading all the reviews and hearing good things about it.I am a regular user of Maybelline mascaras so I was excited to try this one but I felt it wasn't that great for when it came to adding volume and length to my thin lashes.I had to appy about 3 or 4 coats to make this work and then my eyelashes stuck together so then I had to separate them all the while pulling eyelashes out :( I did find the mascara stayed put and didn't run or cause me panda eyes and the black colour did stand out.I think it would depend on how thick or long your eyelashes are on how well this works for you as not everyone has the same type of eyelashes. Overall it is an ok mascara and very affordable,clump free and run free but I just felt it wasn't for me so off I go to find my "holy grail" mascara again.

Tips: Apply each coat before the other one drys to avoid eyelashes sticking together.

Love this mascara

This mascara is fantasic. Great volume and stays put all day long. You don't need a second coat so it's quick and easy to apply.

Drugstore Fave

I FREAKING LOVE THIS. I love big, thick, long, black lashes and this does just that. It is super amazing and lasts ages. I do 2-3 coats and find that is easily layerable and doesn't go weird when you do. I have two or three as a back up. The one downside that I have found is that its around the $26 which is a lot for a mascara. I always wait for it to be on sale and stock up.

Plumps my lashes; no need for eyelash extensions!

I love this mascara. It plumps my lashes making them nice and long as well as thick. I like to have an eyelash extension effect and feel that this mascara seems to do just that. I use the blackest colour in the range and just love the effect accentuating my blue eyes.I feel that this mascara performs the job better than mascaras which cost a lot more. I'd recommend this mascara to everyone, I even bought one for my mum. I love the yellow colour of the packaging; nice and bright and easy to find in my bag of cosmetics. The wand is easy to use and doesn't give a clumpy effect as some other mascaras do.

Tips: I apply three coats for a real faux eyelash effect.

One of my favourite full volume mascaras!

For someone with very light and sparse eyelashes, I LOVE the the intense volume this mascara has. It highlights my eyes brilliantly and opens them up a lot. This mascara is definitely better at bringing volume rather than length, so I would recommend using another mascara as a first coat to lengthen lashes, then this as a second coat straight afterwards. Incredible value for the cheap price!

Tips: Best to apply straight after curling your eyelashes to help hold the curl. Make sure to wriggle the brush slightly side to side when applying to help seperate lashed and stop the product from getting clumpy.

Pretty good mascara

I got this mascara at a make up sale for $12 so I was pretty happy with the price. I was worried about the wand because normally I like silicon wands (I find they separate my lashes better and help stop clumping) but was happily surprised that although not as good as a silicon wand at separating my eyelashes the mascara didn't clump in the wand's bristles. It did take an extra bit of work with the wand and my nail to separate my lashes.

The colour is a dark black (doesn't dry grey - yay!). The formula glides on nicely without clumping or feeling glue-y on your lashes. In terms of wear the mascara was still as dark and in-place at the end of the day, I did find however that my lashes weren't as flared upwards as when I applied the mascara, so the look was a little less "bam" than when first put on.

Overall a solid contender for day wear. Would need to do a few layers to make stand out enough for a big night look, or possibly curl your lashes.

Tips: If you are wanting your eyelashes to stay spread and upright a couple of coats are needed, or use of a curler.

Decent for cheap

I find this to be one of my favourite cheap mascaras. It lengthens and thickens without being too clumpy

Tips: buy in bulk before they replace it with something else

Good Product

I am obsessed with all Maybelline mascaras, so I had to buy this product. Unfortunately, after a couple of applications I found that this product was getting a bit clumpy and I had to work hard so that my eyelashes weren't all stuck together. However, the product itself did what it said and it provided volume to my lashes and they did look amazing. It was fairly quick to dry.

Only other downside was that the mascara flaked off. This is still better than it smudging, which it definitely did not do.

Overall, this is a solid mascara, great for daily use.

Tips: Clean your applicator wand after or before every application so it doesn't clump.
