Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

The mascara has a thinner texture which I like because it means the brush doesn’t apply too much product at once, allowing me to have a natural look which I prefer, but it does layer well too. I liked the brush, it is a good shape and was easy to apply even to the lashes in the inner corner and lower lashes. I found it dries fairly quickly which helps hold the curl, especially for my lashes, which don't like staying curled. It lasted over 12 hours, without flaking. Just a little transfer on lower lashline but it was almost unnoticeable. The mascara also reapplies well, I did this in the evening without any clumping or going on too thickly. It came off very easily with micellar water. Overall, I would definitely recommend this mascara, I really like the versatility and lasting power and it is a decent price.

I can’t remember the last time I used a mascara this fantastic and I’ll be buying this again and again. From the first swipe it grabs all your lashes including your teeny tiny ones and coats them to look longer and thicker. Even just one coat is enough to look good but I always do two coats to build up. I don’t ever use mascara on my bottom lashes (I have a different eye shape) so I can’t comment on how this looks there but on the top lashes this opens up your eyes magnificently and yes it does curl up a bit. The wand is actually curved so just look before you apply which way you have it facing. A day can go by with very little smudging so it’s very long lasting.

I can remove this with a light makeup remover but just be wary that if it gets wet the colour will start to transfer off and you’ll get little black spots on your skin. Likewise if it hasn’t dried enough after applying and you’ve sneezed you’ll need to do a touch up.

I wish I’d remembered how great Maybelline mascaras are as I can now stop looking and just get this one forever!

I’ve only worn this twice but can confidently say it’s a decent mascara. It lengthens but I’ve found I do need at least 2 coats. It’s not the most voluminous mascara but pretty nonetheless. I love dramatic lashes and while this didn’t blow me away it’s definitely one I’ll use again. I’ve found most non waterproof mascaras smudge on me and this did but very minimally and only because my eye was watering. The wand is slightly curved and easy to use and the packaging is very nice, solid and comfortable to hold during application. Maybelline really knows how to do mascara.

They say the mascara is all about the wand - this wand is AMAZING! It is large and thick, but not hard to wield. It has a certain amount of flex to it, but is sturdy enough to apply the formula with ease.

I found this really curled my lashes, which is great as I have long, straight lashes. The curl and lift lasted the day.

I used two layers, they went on easy with no clumping.

It's colossally great!

I picked this up in the vault along with another maybelline mascara as its one of the things I religiously wear and buy.. and as usual I do purchase maybelline.

I very rarely shop outside maybelline for mascaras as they are just so affordable and do the job for me.

This one lived up to the task.. It didn't smudge and lasted all day. It didnt break or snap my lashes.. and left them growing as per usual with no snapping or breaking off - unlike some other mascaras I have used.

I can have watery eyes and sensitive skin and this has not irritated me yet which is another bonus.

In terms of colour it is black as black and doesn't dry a lighter colour.

Nice consistency to apply and doesn't crumble which is great!

I am loving this mascara!!

The tube is more round than usual, but sturdy and handbag-proof.

The wand is well, bouncy, it's a light and easy to use. The handle is big enough for you to easily hold.

I found it separated the lashes as I applied it, leaving me with thicker and more volumous lashes. The black colour isn't too-black if that makes sense. It doesn't make your lashes look heavy and grungy, just more defined.

This wears really well, it doesn't smudge and seems to be rub proof. It is easily removed with makeup remover or cleanser.

Great product!

Really nice, super black and nice and thickening. I love the wand as it’s not clump city. Doesn’t give me the lengthiest lashes but I would use for a bold eye look.

I have always been Benefit Beyond Blackest Black Mascara lover! But after receiving this beauty in my last lot of goodies I am so in love with it x The wand is amazing does not feel like it is scratching your eye lid, evenly spread on the wand, brushes on the lashes so beautifully. No irritation too, which is a huge biggie for me as I have sensitive eyes. All in all I have repurchased this beauty Mascara with my beauty points through the Beauty Vault x so happy I could get another again x
