Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

This mascara glides on my eyelashes so easily, it doesn't clump, and it is buildable. It is a personal favorite of mine that I use for my everyday lashes. It leaves quite a natural long lash look.

I find it lasts pretty well throughout the day. It does smudge on occasion but this is usually at work after I've been running around a lot.

The packaging is pretty standard to look at but it has some sort of narrowing inside the tube. The narrowing helps to ensure that the brush never has too much product on it. The brush is a nice shape and is super easy to use.

I have long but sparse lashes so need a mascara that volumises and doesn't clump! This mascara is amazing!

It applies so easily, the shape of the brush separates my lashes and applies the mascara evenly. I always get a dramatic and separated eyelash look which is just what I want.

The formula is fantastic and doesn't clump, I also find that it wears well throughout the day and doesn't flake either - even when I wear it on my bottom lashes!

Definitely one of my go to mascaras, would recommend to anyone who wants long, dramatic and separated lashes!

The shape of the brush allows you to be very precise with your application. The formula of this one is amazing, which is also very build-able without getting too clumpy so you can make your lashes as natural or as not as you like. It held my curl very nice too so nothing to worry about your curl dropping if you're a religious eyelash curler user like me. Love this mascara and highly recommend.

I like this mascara. The wand is excellent, and the actual product is good, no strong smell. The only issue I had was with the lasting time. It seemed to go on great in the morning and then I'd get to about midday and my lashes would look flat and clumpy. Overall a good product but definitely not long lasting.

Got this at Countdown on clearance, it's hard to pass up a mascara from a well known brand at $6.99. The packaging is a pretty standard shape, the colour makes it really stick out though. I like the wand - it has a good shape. I don't like the smell of the product, it has a strong fragrance that just seems odd for a mascara. The product itself went on really well the first few times, and then seemed to clump up a little on the wand. Wiping it on the edge seems enough to keep it going though. It lasts well and builds up to a dramatic effect. Some mascaras sting my eyes, but I didn't have a problem with this one. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is towards the end of the day it starts to flake and when that gets in my eye it definitely stings. So for a shorter period, a night out say it is well worth it. I'm not sure if its the one I would pick at full price though.

Picked this up on clearance for $5 from my local countdown supermarket which is AMAZING! Packaging is cute, and I had used Maybelline colossal volum express before and loved it so I expected great things for this one. I hated this at first, I found it didn't lengthen my lashes nearly half as much as I would have wanted. I changed my application technique and instead of just brushing it on so to speak, I held the wand at the base of my lashes and wiggled side to side and then brushed it through my lashes. Made a HUGE difference in application! My lashes look full and long, and they don't clump up even with two coats of this mascara.

Love a good mascara especially if it does what it says it does. I found this didn't give cat like corners and so I was a bit disappointed. It applied easily enough and had a decent amount on the wand for application only the wand comes apart argh! The frustration was real.. it is a shame because the wand is quite nice to use and glides over the lashes not snagging. I was determined to use this considering the price I paid so I persevered. I wouldn't use this for nights out. I use this for the kindy run with my BB cream so am just clutching at straws really. I know people are different and like their own look but this just didn't give me the cat eyes I was hoping for. The consistency was just too thick for my liking and I think that's why it didn't spread my lashes out enough to get a good look.. it just seemed to bring them together and make them looked clumped.
