I was so looking forward to this. At first, it was all right- I even preferred this over Maybelline's pink mascara. But after few applications - I began to notice the weird smell it has.- Not to mention the clumpy formula sticking my eye lashes together. I may be wrong but I thought it was creating volume through sticking eye lashes together. Overall, it was just not the right product for me. It may work for people with fewer lashes.

Reviews
I was so excited to try this Mascara out, I have very fine short lashes and to have more Volume and thickness is an absolute must for my lashes to stand out. For my first application the product was extremely thick and quite clumpy on the lashes, they did look thicker on first application, but not separated and I didn't like the look. But as time wore on and there was less product on the brush, it became easier and my lashes were nicely separated. I definitely liked the look as time wore on but for the price you pay, it doesn't do what it says from the get go and I've tried cheaper Mascara's with better results.
Tips: Wipe the wand on first application to lessen the amount of product on brush.
I like this mascara, it really lengthened my eyelashes and gave good volume. Personally, I don't think it's as good as other Maybelline mascaras, but I liked it!
I did like the colour and length this product gave, however I thought that it was quite thick and hard to remove at the end of the day.
Tips: Use this product for it's long lasting power!
Works wonderful for about 1 month. Making my lashes full and nice that i have ever dreamed about. After a month, the formula dries out and start appearing like black powder fall over after applying. I tested few of Maybelline mascaras and that happen all the same. Looking for another good one.
I really liked the shape of this brush! It covered most of my lashes in one stroke. And the formula was really dark black which gives a bold look. While I did like colossal, I found that it can clump and also flake or be lumpy.
Tips: I have reasonably long but straight eye lashes, so I usually curl my lashes first. I would use illegal length first (only a couple coats) then apply colossal, as colossal doesn't lengthen that much.
I liked this mascara but didn't love it. I love the brush though. I didn't find it made my lashes appear thicker but did add length and separated them too which I liked
Tips: Let coats dry in between applications. I found my lashes went quiet lumpy with product and the mascara went crumbly if you pile it on without drying in between.
I first saw this thick yellow tubed product in the makeup bag of a friend's teenage daughter, and then again on the bathroom shelf of another, which led me to believe that I might be too old for the product. The price tag kept it a little out of my 'I'll just try it and use it' tendencies for a while, and then I figured I would jump right in the deep end. The brush was thicker than I'd normally use, and the mascara was slightly dryer, although it definitely gave some oomph to my eyes. I found that it smudged a little on my lids and that I had to follow up with a cotton bud to remove the excess, but it was great when applied on top of my usual mascara to give that further boost of impact. I'm glad that I've tried it but it's not something that I will regularly purchase. If someone gave me a free one, I wouldn't say no however xx
Tips: It's a thicker, dryer sort of mascara with a thicker brush. You might need to run a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover along the lids of your eyes after application depending on how thick a 'lined effect' you are after (I don't wear eye liner and prefer a more natural look). it would go great with thick liner or smoky eyes.
So I felt like my lashes were thicker heavier etc, but I think that is just the heavy cakey nature of this product, it felt clumpy and didn't give me the look I wanted. Tended to look cheap on.
I am using this Mascara at the moment have have short lashes but love the thick long full lashes so im always on the search for a mascara I really love I still haven't found one! :-/ this is probably one of the best ones that suits my lashes if I apply about 4 layers then I can notice that I do have lashes haha, is alright I supose!
