Mascara

Not a fan off this mascara, I purchased it as my usual was out of stock and the packaging engaged me, I thought this was a little thick and clumpy

colossal

I was very excited about this product as I love thick very dark lashes and It looked like this item would be perfect. Unfortunately I did not find this was the case, its a nice product but not a must have for me.

Maybelline volume express

Pretty basic ' , nothing different from most of there Maybelline mascaras. Nothing much is changed. Good for the first few weeks. Ran out quite fast. Not the best quality product I've ever use

Impossible to Remove!

I made the mistake of buying the waterproof version of the mascara. While the mascara itself is good - easy to apply, creates good volume and length in the lashes - it was impossible to remove. I would have to scrub my eyes a lot at night to take off the mascara, whcih would leave them irritated by the next morning. It was virtually impossible to remove all of the mascara in this way, so leftover bits added to the irritation. Once I had a shower and washed my face some more, my cheeks would then be stained with the leftovers, and they had to be scrubbed too. I understand it does what it says - it does create colossal lashes, and the waterproofing is very effective, it is just not an experience I would like to go through again!

Tips: Buy the non-waterproof version!

Too heavy

I found the Colossal to be a wee bit too colossal for me - too heavy and too clumpy. I have been wiping the brush with a tissue before applying to my lashes, which definitely improves the look. I'd be reluctant to buy again, and have definitely had better results with separation/ length / volume with other mascaras.

A bit of a fail..

The first time I used this mascara it did wonders. My lashes were long, had great volume and spread evenly without clumps. After time - even on the second or third application actually it started to become a nightmare for me to get both of my lashes looking the same the application brush was really sticky and gave my eyelashes huge lumps of mascara on the end - not ideal. I'm not very picky when it comes to mascara but if I wouldn't use it again I would not recommend it to any of my friends.

weird smell

i thought this mascara had a really strong, weird smell! Maybe it was just my one but it did nothing for my lashes and honestly the smell was so strong, my friend could smell it when it was on my lashes and she was about a metre away from me?!?! So I would definitely not repurchase but maybe it's just my bad experience? Definitely the smell wasn't right but even if I gmo red the smell, it did absolutely nothing for my lashes :(

Tips: I would not recommend for short stubby straight lashes like mine!!

Mascara

I find this mascara clumpy and it unfortunately does not give me much length. But for the price it is a good starter mascara.

I have medium length lashes and found that the formula Or the brush made my lashes clump together and i had to seperate them with a lash comb , stick to falsies mascara for a more perfected no fuss lash .

Went lumpy

Right from the start my Maybelline mascara seemed quite lumpy, so I was always needing to wipe a bit off with a cotton bud when I was done. I have since changed to a different brand which is miles better but does cost a bit more- worth the extra expense though.

Tips: Buy MAC mascara instead, if your budget allows.
