Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara Classic Black Review

Thought I'd give this mascara a try as I am always looking for the holy grail! Unfortunately, this wasn't it. I found the formula very thick and gluggy. It did make my lashes look a lot thicker - but almost too thick, if you know what I mean. I couldn't wait to finish this off. Would not purchase it again.

I like the brush applicator on this mascara but the consistency is quite thick and gets quite messy. However, once applied, it adds nice volume and length which I really liked.

Bought this on special at the supermarket. I’ve used this brand but the yellow mascara and was happy with it so thought I’d try this one.

The wand tip is really long with bristles close together. The actual mascara is quite thick and gluggy. I found it didn’t apply as well as the yellow version and in fact used the old yellow mascara I had to finish it off. I wouldn’t buy this again.

This is a pretty simple review, this mascara is average. It makes your eyelashes black which is what you want in a mascara, it's an okay price too, but it just doesn't WOW me. If it's on sale then yeah I'd probably buy it again, but won't be paying full price again

I bought this mascara because Jaclyn Hill raved about it and it looked amazing on her lashes. I just didn't love it. The packaging was adorable and bright and fun and even the wand seemed like the kind I usually go for. But overall it gave an okay amount of volume and length, but smudged quite badly on me and it just wasn't THAT good.

I bought this on sale and I am sure glad I did not pay full price for it. I like the colour and volume this brings to my lashes , but I have used better. The mascara will get clumpy and that will make application a little more time consuming and tricky. This is not very easy to remove as well, take a few turns with my makeup remover wipes to completely get rid of it and at the end of the night that is not something to look forward to.

Usually I go for mascara that has a skinny brush but I wanted to try something new and hadn't tried one of the mascaras that promise eyelashes as thick as christmas trees.

I discovered that the brush really is a mini christmas tree, yet the formula applies quite evenly and not too thick. I found that the shape and thickness of the brush made it not so easy to apply but I'm sticking with it for the time being. It's not so annoying that I want to chuck it out, I will finish it and then try a different one.

The formula itself is good. Not very clumpy even though the brush gets fat with paint. I bought a non waterproof variety and found that it stays on through gym anyway. Comes off easily with jojoba oil or micellar water.

I bought the product, used it and it was fine. But the end of the brush had lumps of mascara on it and it's kind of hard to put mascara on lower lashes with the lumpy amount of mascara on the end.

I brought this product hoping for a luscious mascara that would coat and define my lashes. I was sorely disapointed, I found on opening the product the brush was big and bulky and the product so thick it barely came off the brush, with lots of coaxing and numerous applications I find it clumps my lashes together and comes off in specks...I almost wonder if this product has dried out in the pack. Definitely won't be buying this again, frustrating to think I wasted just under $30 on this lack lustre mascara.
