Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

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.

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.

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'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've come across very few wands that coat all my lashes without the need for me to painstakingly target each section. This curved wand is fantastic.

Funnily enough, it's looks no different to other curved wands yet it's effortless in terms of applying the product to give your eyes a pop.

I love that there's little excess product when you take the wand out.There's definitely a lift in my lashes with just one coat so I can only imagine how great it would look for those with longer lashes.

The most I apply with any mascara is two coats and this product is lightweight and doesn't make my lashes clumpy. In addition to that, it doesn’t flake or smudge!

The only downside is that I'm not particularly keen on the packaging. It's small enough to fit in my palm but it's bulky in comparison to my other mascaras.

I would repurchase this mascara because it ticks most of the boxes for me and it's hard to find a wand that coats all my lashes without turning it into a mission.

I wore this every day after receiving it. I like the brush, it worked really well even on my lower ones, easy to get the lashes no accidents bumping into my skin. The tube I got was a good consistency not dry, also not too wet. One coat gives noticeable length and thickness without getting crunchy. I tried another coat after the first thoroughly dried and got super thick long lashes but not that awful squashed spider look. It does get hard on the second coat. I have pretty long lashes, if I frowned and looked down you could see the tips of my lashes touching my eyebrows. I could feel them hitting my glasses too. I was on a Teams call for work and someone asked if I had lashes on. So I stuck with one coat only after that. I found it didn't flake or transfer at all unless I forgot and rubbed my eye a bit. It was easy to get off just with a bit of micellar water. I really like this mascara, I am going to continue using it and would purchase it when I finish it.

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.

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 grabbed this from the beauty vault after hearing good things about it and reading all the comments on here hoping this mascara was going to give me gorgeous curled long lashes as others have experienced.My first thoughts when I saw the tube of mascara was like,wow that's a rather big wand to use and it looked too bulky however the brush inside was curved and a good size to cover your lashes.I thought it was good that the brush was curved which makes the mascara easier to apply on top lashes but my lower lashes were a bit harder to reach and I found it quite messy because the brush was too big to reach into the corners.The formula made my lashes darker and did lengthen them but I had hardly any gorgeous curl effect even after applying 4 or 5 coats.I had a little volume but nothing dramatic so for me this mascara would be ok for a daytime look but it's not one I would use for a nighttime look.I would purchase it again because it was flake,smudge proof and had lasting effect plus it's not too badly priced especially if you can pick it up at a discounted price.
