Thick lashes, in more than one coat

I only bought this mascara by chance when my local Kmart was sold out of the falsies mascara and I was in desperate need. It turned out I actually really like this mascara, it does not however give you "collosal lashes in one coat". Seriously, it takes me around 4 coats of mascara to get thick, long looking lashes. I'm not complaining though, this mascara definitely defines my lashes and doesn't go clumpy. It's my favourite "everyday" mascara. I wouldn't recommend the non waterproof if you're going out dancing though as I did find the one time I wore it out it smudged, and the waterproof one is seriously hard to get off, so would go with the waterproof if you are after something long wearing

Good Affordable Mascara

This is my everyday mascara at the moment and its a really good affordable product in my opinion.

The packaging is bright yellow which I enjoy, it adds a fun pop of colour to my makeup collection.

The formula is a nice consistency, not too thick but not too watery. It also doesn't have that much of a smell, it smells like mascara if you sniff the bottle but I can't smell the product when I'm applying it.

I love the big bushy wand, its easy to apply and I can get great length and volume without giant clumps. Not too sure about 9x the volume haha I've never measured (not sure how you would?!). The only thing I don't like is that oftentimes a little too much product comes out on the brush so I have to wipe the brush off before using.

Overall this is a great everyday, affordable mascara that works just as good as some of my higher end ones. It has a great formula and I have been using it for months now and it hasn't dried up. Would recommend and repurchase!

Awesome!

I have very short lashes and struggle to find mascara that makes them pop, this mascara does what it says and definitely makes my lashes look longer, it stays on very good too

I was very disappointed

I was so looking forward to this. At first, it was all right- I even preferred this over Maybelline's pink mascara. But after few applications - I began to notice the weird smell it has.- Not to mention the clumpy formula sticking my eye lashes together. I may be wrong but I thought it was creating volume through sticking eye lashes together. Overall, it was just not the right product for me. It may work for people with fewer lashes.

I completely agree with you, I found that it made my eye lashes stick together which really irritated me. Glad you pointed that out :) Thank you

Awesome Mascara

can be used as a base mascara or as a top coat, either way, maybelline's collosal range are really great. Really noticed my eye lashes looking much longer and this one definitely give them more volume as well. I usually use it as a top coat with another coat underneath, to get that 'false eyelashes' look Cheap too

Great mascara

I love this stuff and use it everyday.

My lashes are already quite long due to using fLash eyelash serum, and this makes them extreme!

It might not be for everyone as I don't think it gives a 'natural' eyelash look and can almost make your eyelashes look a little fake - but if that's what you're going for then this is great. I personally love it.

Big and Bold

Colossal reminds me of High School! That's when it first came out and when I first tried it. It definitely does what it says it does - Big, big lashes, as though you're wearing Kardashian extensions or Katy Perry Falsies!

The only thing is that the hold isn't amazing - I would often find black specs had fallen from my lashes! And it does take a while to dry so I've had mishaps before where dark smudges have ended up all over my face but maybe I'm just super clumsy! Haha.

For a cheap mascara, however, it has a lot of POP! I wouldn't say no to using it again. :)

My go to..,

Whenever I have finished applying my makeup and just have my mascara left to do, I always find myself looking at my collection and never knowing what one I want to use. I have used many good mascaras and also many bad; and I always find myself coming back to this trusty mascara and here's why. While I have decent length lashes I have found that in the last few years since trying soooo many different brands, some have damaged my lashes. All the testing and curling have caused them to grow sparse and annoy me alot! The colossal mascara has worked wonders! It not only gives me the look I desire, but it doesnt damage my lashes one bit. It lengthens to the next level and gives you that open eyed looked that everyone desires. A++ for this product :)

Best Mascara! Nothing else compares

I have tried other mascaras when they are on special or this one is not available but I always regret it! This is my favorite by far and always come back to using this one. Love how it makes my eyelashes look fuller and longer. :)

Wonderful Mascara!

I used this mascara for about two years and it made my lashes both longer and fuller. I did not clump and was easily washed off with soapy water or face wipes

Tips: Do not apply more once the mascara is dry to it will look clumpy
