Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

My history with Maybelline products has been very hit or miss - some I've tried and really liked, others have been complete duds. I was a bit skeptical about trying this as my Volum' Express Mega Plush was such a disapointment, but it was on special so I took the plunge.

I have this in black and I have to say I was very impressed. The wand of the mascara is nice and sturdy and I love the shape of the brush, it's rather wide and bushy with a slim tip that's great for getting corner lashes. I find it coats your lashes evenly, leaving them looking nice and full but without the spider-leg look or clumping. The formula itself is also pretty great, the pigment is lovely and dark and stays put nicely all day without smudging.

This mascara does give volume but I think it's claims are definately exaggerated! Still it's a great everyday mascara and I would use it as that again.

I've heard so many good reviews on this mascara. So I decided id give it a go! Firstly it went on clumpy which I didn't like!! Secondly I don't like the brush on it it's to big. It's not a horrible mascara but I was expecting a lot better.

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 :)
