Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

I'm always keen to try new products so was stoked to be selected to review this Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara. The tube is white, easy to hold, and with a lovely fluffy wand. The mascara coats the wand adequately without being over-full, and is easy to apply. I didn't experience any of the promised curl effect, but it gave good lash definition and nice colour coverage. Once dry, I was able to go about my life without smudges (I tested this on a humid day), and it came off easily in the shower with only hot water. Overall, I was disappointed that it didn't deliver on the curl promise, but this is a good mid-range mascara.

I often get watery, itchy eyes after using most mascaras but didn't with this one, the wand has a lovely wee curl in it which made the application easy.No clumping! I dislike that thick clumpy look and this one was smooth and weightless, even my miss 13 had a try and she also liked how easy it was to apply, I found the bottle size to fit perfectly in my hand giving me more control meaning no mistakes while applying, I would for sure purchase this product again , it seems like a fuss free no frills mascara and I love that

I've always been a Maybelline gal for Mascara but was a lil skeptical going in to this trial about it definitely curling my lashes. BUT WOW! I love the curl it gives to them and definitely means I won't need a lash curler so less time to get ready :)

I love that its still waterproof & clump free. It stayed on all day with no probs even in the crazy weather we had last few days.

I think this will be the go to in my makeup bag over the others now.

Maybelline Colossal Curl Mascara comes in a white tube that is comfortable to use. The brush has a slight curve on one side and is flatter on the other and making it easy to coat every lash. The colour is blackest black so the lashes really stand out. One to two coats lengthen and thicken the lashes but I didn't see a noticeable curl. It took three coats at least to make the lashes really stand out. From the first coat, my lashes were separated and there was no clumping. The mascara lasted all day but tended to flake a bit towards the evening and my lashes lost their volume slightly. Overall it's a good all-round mascara that can take you from day to evening with an extra coat.

I have always liked my maybelline mascara so this was no surprise to me that it was another great product and I was not disappointed. It goes on smoothly without clumping and not messy, I only needed one coating also. Dries quickly and gave nice “curly bounce volume”. I would purchase this mascara as it does what it says it will and the price won’t break the bank.

Love this mascara for the office or a normal day! It’s light and white fluffy but not heavy & dramatic so would sub it would if going on a night out!

Packaging is as you would except from maybelline, the tube is large, round and white. Brush size is good! I don’t think my lashes curled but it was easy to apply and is waterproof. I had no flaking which is always a bonus!

I have used this for a few days now and have really been enjoying it!

First impression - the packaging is not my favourite, it looks bulky and a bit cumbersome. However, the lid had that satisfying ‘click’ when you close it, and I also really like the shape of the wand! It is gently curved which makes getting into the root of your lashes nice and easy.

The product itself is nice, no strong smell, no irritation.

I love the way it didn’t clump my lashes together - I don’t know if it’s the formula or wand or a combination of the two but bit left my lashes really defined.

I wore this with no other make up and as such, rubbed my eyes as I forgot I had anything on, and was pleasantly surprised when I had no fallout or smudging!

So, feeling rather dubious, (since most other mascara I have tried have been, well a bit meh) I gave this one a whirl and.. Well.. It's awesome! My blond tipped lashes sprung up and out like a flower opening its petals and holy moley this stuff is hard to budge. It stayed on all day, even through a rainstorm and needed a serious rubbing with the makeup remover. It isn't heavy either which I loved. My lashes were fluffy and separated and even the wee spidery ones in the corner looked good after a coating of this wonder paint. It does what it says it will on the packet and I reckon that's pretty rare these days.

I wish I loved this mascara as I can see it's a 'Top Rated' product here on Beauty Review - but I certainly wouldn't place it in my top 5 favourite mascaras.

The brush/wand is a bit big for my liking. It's just not delicate enough to get into the corners of my eyes.

I've found other mascaras that make my lashes look longer and better separated than this one does.

The other thing that I didn't love about this one is that it's not easy to remove. Perhaps I'm being too fussy. It's great that it doesn't smudge or flake, but I also want to be able to easily remove my mascara with a micellar water, and this one takes a bit of work.
