Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Mascara Review

I love the packaging of this product, the tube is nice and eye catching and easy to hold. The brush has short rubber bristles which usually I dont like however this one is a little different, the bristles aren't as densely packed so it's easier to coat lashes. The formula is nice and very opaque black and coats lashes throughly with one swipe, also very easily coats lower lashes and really lengthens them. The formula does not run, I have cried, sweated and rubbed my eyes and it does not budge. Is easily removed with a makeup cloth and water. I will use this mascarra again.

As usual maybelline have bought out yet another awesome mascara. The brush is great with heaps of bristles that separate and coat the lashes. I found it great on both the top and bottom lashes and would totally buy this again, I already have 2.

I’m normally a fan of Maybelline mascara, believing that generally for the price point you can’t go wrong. However, while I don’t dislike this particular mascara it’s not going to be my go to and here’s why. While I love the gold packaging, the shape of the tube annoys me as it’s unnecessarily colossal, doesn’t fit into my acrylic makeup tray compartments and takes up too much room in my makeup purse. Maybelline isn’t the only brand that packages mascara in unwieldy shapes, I just don’t understand the need! The mascara itself is okay. Okay as in, I like the wand shape and size, not too big, not too small, nice and straight, not curvy, therefore, makes the mascara easy to apply and less like to land on places other than your actual eyelashes. But, the bristles on the wand are stubby which I found to make the mascara quite clumpy on application. It certainly didn’t volumise as the name suggests, although it did enhance the length. If you have the patience to apply coats of mascara and brush through to separate your lashes then you might be happy with this product. If you are a more of a slap dash, one coat girl like myself, it might not be the mascara for you!

I have been using this mascara for about the last 3 months or so and have finally got around to writing a review about it.I had big expectations on this and unfortunately it did not deliver for me.I found the formula was thick and made my lashes clump so most of the time I would have to wipe some of the mascara off on a tissue then apply to my lashes.I did find that my lashes had a bit more volume after two or three coats of this and it seemed to work better than any other mascaras in the maybelline range but colour wise,the black barely stood out on my lashes and it looked like I was not wearing any mascara so that was disappointing.This mascara tends to dry out quickly too but I did not notice any flaking or smudging and it was easy to remove at the end of the day and I just used my regular facial wash.For a day time mascara this works ok but it's not something I would use again for a night time look.

Safe to say ive been overlooking maybelline for their mascaras of late!

This is a great mascara as it is very buildable and allows you to create both natural and a more dramatic look. The tube is very eye catching and is a must for your beauty bag ! The brush is easy to use and helps manipulate your lashes to a more flattering shape with lots of volume.

The mascara lasted ALL day and did not transfer to underneath the eye,I found it to be smudge proof and had great stickability. Lots of people this week asked me which mascara I was using and I was happy to tell them it was Maybeline!

I was very excited about this mascara when I first opened it, but unfortunately was a little disappointed.

The brush is straight so no curves but the product comes out very thick and clumpy when applied to the eyelashes. There is a lot of product that comes out on the brush but almost too much that I have been using a different mascara wand but in the Maybelline The Colossal to stop the clumpiness.

It does add volume from the tip to root but too much that it gives that ‘spider’ mascara look.

Will keep looking for my next fave mascara!

Wow! This product promises full lashes with one coat and DELIVERS! Packing is an attractive colour. Brush feels comfortable in your hand and the mascara really does goes on easily. I have very sparse and thin eyelashes and one coat is all it takes for a completely natural day look. I added another for even thicker more dramatic lashes for my night look and loved the look. Product has no chemical odour and as someone who cries very easily, this mascara does not rub easily and does not sting in the eyes! All over really happy with this product.

Thanks Beauty Review for this trial. I was excited to trial a new mascara, I am still searching for my holy grail. After this trial, I am still searching. I am not saying there is anything wrong with this one, however I felt it didnt live up to its promise of fully loaded volume in one coat.

I did enjoy the brush, it was a bit different to my usual brush, this was wavy. I felt I got length but not the volume.

I am not currently using a lash serum so my lashes need some help with looking thicker.

The formula was quite nice, the colour was awesome and it didnt flake off throughout the day. It removed really well with my usual eye makeup remover. Overall, not too bad but not my favourite mascara.

I’ve been using more expensive mascaras for years now and this mascara didn’t make me change my mind. I know a lot of people swear by Maybelline mascaras, but I’ve tried a lot of types and they’re just not working for me. This one promised so much volume, yet it doesn’t voluminise my lashes at all, all it does is coating them nice and black, but it doesn’t lengthen them or make them look fuller. I really love how black it is though, it might sounds stupid, but there’s a difference between black and black and this mascara is very very black! I like my lashes separated and this clumps a tiny bit, so need to make sure to separate the lashes that stick together. It doesn’t smudge throughout the day though, which is fantastic, since I work around ovens a lot, so melting my makeup off wouldn’t be too surprising. It’s not a bad mascara for the price, although the prices are climbing higher and higher for Maybelline mascaras, but definitely get them on special if you can!
