Colossal Mascara

This is my all time favourite! I normally hate huge brushes but this one was just right! No clumps but just the right amount of volume.

I have tried some variations of the Colossal, however the original is by far the best. I have been lucky to have never paid full price for this (I am a sale hunter!) though I am more than happy to pay full price as I believe this is more than worth it. Will be buying this until the end!

Tips: Slowly pull through lashes for added length. I also recommend giving your lashes a good curl before hand.

great cheapie.

My cousin gave me one of these a while ago and I didn't expect to be impressed. While I am very picky and choosy about what I'll buy, this is fantastic considering the price. Definitely impressed, though I did find the formula kind if thick which meant I got a bit of clumpyness (that's probably more my fault, I love to apply about a million coats!). I don't really mind the clumps depending on the look I'm going for, but this one doesn't give you a natural looking finish. Having said that, it is meant for volume, which it certainly gave. I used this to go out and I really liked the effect. I'd definitely get this again if I was in need a a cheapie in a hurry.

Tips: If you want a cheaper one that gives your big fat lashes, this is for you. But mind the clumps! If you're an over zealous multi coater, you may want to use a brush.

Amazing volume

I got this recently from a makeup sale for $10 and love it! I don't wear mascara that often but when I do this is just perfect.

The wand is medium sized which makes it really easy to apply. I apply 2 coats and wowza, my quite short lashes are transformed into those of a goddess! They become really long, curved and gorgeously dark.

I have had no issues with clumps or smudging and find it reasonably easy to remove with makeup remover wipes.

The yellow and purple packaging is really cute and is actually what stood out for me at the sale. Highly recommend!

Tips: Keep an eye out for it at big bucket makeup sales as it is much cheaper!

Colosal Mascara

I love this product. It makes my eyelashes double in width not in length. I just wish they made these mascara a bit cheaper. A fair price would be 15.00. On special they are 19.00 at countdown.

Favourite Mascara

This is my all time favourite mascara!! Firstly I don't react to it and it's so affordable. I love the brush design and size and you get volume without mega clumping.

Tips: Use a couple of coats to build and get thicker lashes

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

This was my go to mascara for some time. Now I normally like plastic bristles but this mascara is an exception. Isn't too thick and doesn't clump up. Gives a "fake lash" effect without looking too fake. At this price, gotta love it! =D

Tips: Use the smallest area of applicator to get into the inner and outer corners of the eye.

No Fail mascara

I really like this mascara. It is one i regularly purchase as it is affordable and does the job well. It has a larger brush tip which can make applying the formula to the bottom lashes a bit messy. But it does create thick black lashes. But don't apply too many coats as it will clump the lashes easily.

Bad reaction

Tried this a few years ago and was quite excited to receive it as I had not the longest eyelashes. Thought the consistency was great and it seemed to glide on easily, no clumping or flaking. I thought it made my lashes look alot longer and then boom had a reaction to it. My eyes started feeling really itchy and sore so I quickly washed it off, it actually came off really easily aswell. What a shame as I was really liking the look but alias never tried it again.

Colossal!

I like to use this mascara when I go out at night. Gives plenty of volume and length. Can get thick fast so I always have my lash comb at the ready :)

Maybelline Volum' Express

This is my go to Mascara- if I am ever in doubt of what to get or need somethin that will do what it says I grab this. It lenghtens my lashes as well as volumises! i abolutley love it. I have tried quite a few different ones- Revelon, Clinique, MAC- you name it ive probably tried it but this one is the best!!

Tips: Depending on how you want your lashes- chose the number of coats you put on! i normally go for 2 for day wear/ work and then 3 for night time- is great when doing Smokey eyes!
