Very good mascara

I do really like this mascara. Along with all the maybeline mascaras this is another goodie! i like that the applicator is just your standard mascara wand. easily coats all lashes, one negative if i have to apply quite a few coats to give alot of volume. but if thats what i takes ill do it! once coated a few times it defiantly gives volume.

Tips: Use a eyelash comb to comb out clumps in between coats. as it tends to get a bit clumpy. and use a lash curler for extra length :)

Mascara

I love how this mascara extends my lashes so much and makes it long, dark and full and it is at a reasonable price for a mascara.

Tips: Apply to clean dry lashes or after curling

The Colossal - Smoky Eyes

Easy to apply and it definitely made my lashes look heaps longer and fuller. Didn't clump too much, nice even coatings. Doesn't smudge or rub off, yet it's still easy to remove. I'm not sure what difference the 'smoky eye' formula makes but wouldn't hesitate to try it especially if you already like the regular one.

Flutter Lashes

So my lashes are long and pretty good anyway, but my sister started raving about this and i had to see what the big deal was so i bought some myself... my goodness...

Long Thick Fluffy

everything i wanted in lashes...

no clumping and not falking or smudging

worked better than my MAC

Tips: apply one coat- let its dry then another for the best results

also for girls like me with really long bottom lashes.... use it sparingly as its does its job better than most mascaras

This is my staple

This is my staple mascara. I am always looking for the holy grail mascara and while I dont think this is the most magic i'm ever going to find for my lashes it does a wonderful job. I love maybelline's packaging on these I find its really comfortable to use. The brush fits my lashes perfectly and coats most lashes realy well I find that the consistency works well on my lashes it doesn't clump or stick at all and I feel like it makes my lashes fuller. I wouldnt say that it gives me colossal lashes but definately bigger and better ones. As far as cost goes this is reasonable compared with other mascara's.

Tips: Taking your makeup off with coconut oil it conditions your lashes and makes mascara go on that much better

No clumps!

I really loved this mascara, although not as much as the Falsies. It's a dryer formula which I love and doesn't clump, even after 2+ coats! Loved the brush too.

Great everyday mascara.

I've had a spotty past with Maybelline mascara for me they've been entirely hit or miss. For me, when they hit - they are awesome. When they miss... They're terrible. I was excited to try this as I received it as a gift and the packaging reminded me heaps of the Colossal Cats Eye mascara.

I love the brush on this - a mascara is only as good as it's wand and this wand is awesome. It's nice and bushy and quite large but it gets right into my lashes and coats them evenly. The wand doesn't tug or pull my lashes out and is comfortable to use.

I love how full and separated my lashes look after applying this - I have thick lashes so it's difficult for me to find something that doesn't turn them into a clump of eyelash haha. This doesn't and I love that.

The pigment, as with most of the Maybe Line mascaras I've tried, is awesome, dark and very black. It dries fairly quickly and once on it didn't budge on me.

I will purchase this when my current one runs out (I was given this one as a gift), and I recommend it for anyone who wants a great everyday mascara.

Totally agree, the wand is so important! I have this in my makeup draw but am yet to try it :) Sounds like I'll love it!

Colossal Lashes

My history with Maybelline products has been very hit or miss - some I've tried and really liked, others have been complete duds. I was a bit skeptical about trying this as my Volum' Express Mega Plush was such a disapointment, but it was on special so I took the plunge.

I have this in black and I have to say I was very impressed. The wand of the mascara is nice and sturdy and I love the shape of the brush, it's rather wide and bushy with a slim tip that's great for getting corner lashes. I find it coats your lashes evenly, leaving them looking nice and full but without the spider-leg look or clumping. The formula itself is also pretty great, the pigment is lovely and dark and stays put nicely all day without smudging.

This mascara does give volume but I think it's claims are definately exaggerated! Still it's a great everyday mascara and I would use it as that again.

Tips: To get maximum volume I apply one coat slowly, wiggling the brush down the lashes. Then before it dries one more coat and you're set!

Not sure about this one...

I nearly finished my first tube of this mascara and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. First of all, it can get very clumpy, so I have to be very careful not to apply more than one coats, I still need to separate my lashes sometimes, it isn't how I imagined "colossal". I purchased it because of all the good raves about it and maybe I set my expectations too high!? However I purchased the waterproof one and it really is waterproof. I have to bike to work and sometimes I'm lucky enough to bike in pissing down rain and I always check my mascara upon arrival and there is no one crease or black stain on my face at all, amazing!!

Tips: Only apply one coat if you don't want spider-legs instead of your eyelashes!
