AMAZING!!!!

My all time fav mascara!!! It builds well from a light "no make up" look to full on going out "falsies" look without becoming clumpy or giving you the horrible spider lashes. I swear by this mascara and I am constantly having people ask me if my lashes are real :)

Tips: When applying multiple layers, make sure you don't let the mascara dry.

2x Lashes

I brought this mascara as it seemed to be one of the best for length and volume in an affordable price bracket.

In terms of packaging it was in a bright yellow plastic mascara tube that was the typical fat Maybelline tube.

I also picked this one because the brush was a bit more normal. The bristles were thick but typical in shape and material. And the wand was also normally shaped (straight).

In terms of applying the mascara. On one application I could get 1.5x lashes and after several coats 2x lashes. But not 9x. Not that I expected to, but it does annoy me that you never get lashes like they do in the adverts.

The colour of the mascara was a strong black and in terms of volume, also about 1.5x volume. It did also clump very slightly, but not significantly.

The mascara lasted all day and didn't smudge which was fantastic and although not the waterproof version (as that only gave the potential of x7 length) it was still a bit resistant to being totally removed by water or make up remover.

It is a better mascara than ones that don't promise to lengthen your lashes, but I think they over state their claims slightly.

Tips: Compare Warehouse and Farmers. Farmers are more expensive but you get club points and both can have 20-25% off sales.

Also apply all coats before the mascara dries on the lashes.

Truly Amazing!

It does what it says without any flaws. It hardly ever clumps which is amazing to see as so many others claims not to. It is a beautiful product that will really bring your eyes out :) However, I did find that it would make some of my eye lashes stick together, that is the only downside. 8/10

Would use this again

I love this mascara I think its great, the brush is awesome for getting thick and full lashes however it does not do what it says it does 'colossal lashes in one coat' no way. You need a decent few coats of this to get it looking good you would not be able to achieve the desired look with just one coat,unless you were going for a very natural effortless look. Other than not being entirely true to its word this is a great product if you layer it up :)

Colossal Yes

This has been my go-to mascara for ages and I have loved it. I haven't been able to find another brand that I liked as much as this. My lashes look amazing- both voluminous and longer. It applies nicely, and is hassle free to remove

Tips: It tend to clump if you try apply a second coat once

My current Favorite!

I just LOVE this mascara! I am yet to find one I think better. Great jet black color, comes on smooth, does not look exceedingly false, and minimal clumping. Easy and gorgeous for stand out lashes for day or night.

Tips: Apply a couple of layers so your eyes really POP!

Amazing!

this mascara made my eyelashes look so long and full! it did take a while to get use to because when i first applied it all my eyelashes stuck together but i would never go back to my old mascara

Tips: Only apply one coast or it'll clump!

Average

This mascara left me with black bits all around my eyes! The mascara just wouldn't stay on my lashes for more than 2hours. I must admit it did make my eyelashes look long in those two hours tho!!

volume :)

This mascara provides a great amount of volume to your lashes and it does not clump together. i find the length of my lashes extend further with this mascara. Its great to use and easy to come off with, with soap or face wipes :)

Tips: use 2 layers
