Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

I am in love with this mascara! It is the best of have used in so long. I am a daily wearer of mascara it is a makeup I won’t go without so it’s important that I wears well. So I was pleased I didn’t have to try to scrape lots of product off the brush before applying, I pulled it straight from the container and onto my lashes and the results were fantastic, the increase in length was noticeable and there was certainly a curl in the lash. I have tried a lash curler before and never noticed any difference in my lash so I’m all for my mascara to do that for me. For this past week I have been using this mascara and no flaking or smudging and I am a contact lens wearer and no irritation. It also washes off well and I haven’t had panda eyes the next morning. I just love the shape of this mascara it’s shape makes it easy to find in my overflowing makeup drawer. I am a convert to this maybelline mascara so much so that I’m going to be going through that makeup drawer to get rid of some mascaras that I won’t be using ever again.

I've come across very few wands that coat all my lashes without the need for me to painstakingly target each section. This curved wand is fantastic.

Funnily enough, it's looks no different to other curved wands yet it's effortless in terms of applying the product to give your eyes a pop.

I love that there's little excess product when you take the wand out.There's definitely a lift in my lashes with just one coat so I can only imagine how great it would look for those with longer lashes.

The most I apply with any mascara is two coats and this product is lightweight and doesn't make my lashes clumpy. In addition to that, it doesn’t flake or smudge!

The only downside is that I'm not particularly keen on the packaging. It's small enough to fit in my palm but it's bulky in comparison to my other mascaras.

I would repurchase this mascara because it ticks most of the boxes for me and it's hard to find a wand that coats all my lashes without turning it into a mission.

I grabbed this from the beauty vault after hearing good things about it and reading all the comments on here hoping this mascara was going to give me gorgeous curled long lashes as others have experienced.My first thoughts when I saw the tube of mascara was like,wow that's a rather big wand to use and it looked too bulky however the brush inside was curved and a good size to cover your lashes.I thought it was good that the brush was curved which makes the mascara easier to apply on top lashes but my lower lashes were a bit harder to reach and I found it quite messy because the brush was too big to reach into the corners.The formula made my lashes darker and did lengthen them but I had hardly any gorgeous curl effect even after applying 4 or 5 coats.I had a little volume but nothing dramatic so for me this mascara would be ok for a daytime look but it's not one I would use for a nighttime look.I would purchase it again because it was flake,smudge proof and had lasting effect plus it's not too badly priced especially if you can pick it up at a discounted price.

I scored this mascara from the vault, and I like it. Its not my all time favourite, as I like a longer looking lash, but this makes my eyelashes look thick and nicely curled. I quite like the think curved wand, and find it easy to use, but think I prefer the smaller ones that you can get a bit more precision with.

I found this easy to remove, which is a big bonus, and would probably be a reason I would repurchase alone. I also didnt have any smudging, and no wee dry bits falling off during the day!

Was gifted this from my sister. Simple white tube with a pop of yellow on the label and the Mascara wand itself. The wand doesn't look anything groundbreaking. However, this performs really well. 2x coats is my preferred why to use this for best curl results. Lasts almost all through my work day. I can't complain.

Not a top fav, but definitely a decent product. Prefer other brands for mascaras, won't be repurchasing.

I'm always up to find my next favourite mascara, and so was happy to trial this product (thank you BR!).

First of all, I like the packaging - it stands out from any other packaging I own and was very easy for me to spot amongst the clutter. I did find the packaging a little lightweight though - which meant it took me a little to get used to holding/controlling the wand.

The mascara itself did a fantastic job of lifting and separating my lashes. Usually I find most mascaras make my lashes look chunky on second mascara application, but this one did a wonderful job of enhancing thickness without clumpiness.

The lift lasted all day, which was brilliant.

The only reason I'm dropping it down in 'kissage' is that I did find it flaked during each of the days that I wore it, which wasn't ideal. No panda eyes though, and it washed off well.

I'd definitely consider repurchasing in the future if my usual favourite wasn't available/discontinued.

I did an online shop with countdown and ordered my normal maybelline mascara but was substituted the curl and bounce and it’s become my new fave. I love the shape of the wand. It really curls my lashes. And it lasts all day!

I love trying new mascara so was excited to be on this trial. One thing I always make sure is that my mascara is waterproof as I get watery eyes sometimes and there is nothing worse than looking like a panda! This however is not waterproof but says up to 24 hour wear so I was definitely going to put it to the test for staying power.

The tube it comes in is super chunky, it's definitely not my favourite.  The wand is a good size with one side slightly curved and sturdy bristles. I did one coat and holy moly my lashes were huge! It lengthened and curled brilliantly I was quite blown away by how they looked. It is a lovely deep black too which I like.

For me I only need one coat as when I tried going in for a second coat they just looked clumpy and some lashes were stuck together badly....it was quite a mess. The formula is more on the dry side and I feel like you need to work quickly as it dries quite fast.

I got no flakiness or transfer at all during the day.....I definitely did not look like a panda,  they pretty much looked exactly the same when I went to remove it 10 hours later. I used micellar water and it came off easily.

I feel like this is a brilliant mascara and it definitely does what it says. It makes my eyelashes really stand out which I love. It is great for both day and night and would look amazing with full eye makeup.  If you are looking for a new mascara that gives you beautiful lashes then I highly recommend buying this!

Wow, I was really impressed by this mascara. I have very straight eyelashes that don’t hold a curl at all but this one gave me great volume and curl as well!

The packaging is nice and sturdy and I think that the lid has a ‘click’ to secure it when you screw it on. I find that having them click closed stops them drying up.

The formula seems to be a good consistency, quite light weight and I didn’t notice any clumping as I did a couple of coats.

I work in an office job so not too strenuous but I haven’t noticed any flaking or smudging with this mascara - I do wear quite heavy eyeliner/eyeshadow which does mask it so somebody else will hopefully comment on flakes or smudging. I have one eye that waters a little and it still seemed to stay on fine.

My only complaint is I wish it was a little more lengthening but it does give some (lengthening isn't a claim I saw on this mascara so I can’t hold it against it - the curling and volume part is so good that i can handle the length)
