Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

This was one of the first ever mascaras I brought for myself and when I used it I instantly fell in love with it. It gives a great curled and long lash effect and I would recommend it to any make up beginner who is looking for a great mascara to practice with.

This is great for length, this is my fav mascara, i use this is as my first coat to hold my eyelash curl and to give my eyelashes length, i dont actual notice much volume (which is why my 2nd coat is with the maybelline great lash) but it doesnt clump, lengthens and doesnt smudge all day

First buying this product I was quite hesitant because I literally had no idea on how to use it, but this is seriously worth $30.00!! I apply at least 3-4 coats of it just so it opens my eyes more and I feel it lasts ages. Minimal clumping happens even with the amount I apply and the texture is really nice, when using different eye make up removers I found it so easily comes off! Love this mascara!

this is such a good mascara, ive been using it for about 7 months and its so good! easy to apply and give my eyelashes a really long thick look. However when i remove it i find it so hard, it doesn't come off easy and sometimes i find my eyelashes fall out while trying to rub it off.

I like this mascara, but it doesn't give me as much volume as other brands of mascara. Although, it does a good job and is good for a daily mascara and is appropriate for every day high school makeup. It also tends to be quite difficult to remove.

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.

I am enjoying using this mascara but I wouldnt say it is great. I am usually a user of Benefit mascaras and do prefer these as they seem to give a deeper coverage. In saying that, this is a good priced product that does cover well and gives a good length to my lashes. It would take two or three oats to get a really dramatic effect I think. Other than that good for every day use.

I used mine until it dried up completely!!! It lengthens and gives volume. No clumps even when applying more than one layer and the brush is just the right size.

Im an avid EOH mascara fan, but when I recently had my make up done professionally this is what the make up artist used and swore by. Im very much easily enabled, and always like to have a couple of mascaras on hand so I went about to find it. (Found at the warehouse on sale for around $17)

The packaging wouldn't be something I would normally go for being bright yellow but I must admit it makes it easy to find in my make up draw.

Its easy to hold and the brush is just perfect for my lashes - nice and bushy.

OK so when I used it for the first time it was runny and so much product on the brush it was horrible!! I was guttered. So in my draw it sat for a few weeks until I thought Id give it another try. What would you know, the consistency had improved dramatically and my lashes look amazing, to the point that they make them look fuller, longer and more pigmented than my EOH one which has now taken a back seat for the time being.

I find it doesn't flake and is long lasting, a great combo with my lash serum! AMAZE.

I love trying new mascaras but this one Id happily purchase again.

This mascara is one of the best mascaras that I've used. I really like the bright yellow and purple packaging, and the brush is such a nice shape. I find that this mascara doesn't clump or flake at all, and is reasonably easy to apply, although I found that the brush is a lot bigger than others I have used before. It is also a breeze to remove as well as apply. I would highly recommend this mascara!
