Maybelline Pumped Up! Colossal Mascara Classic Black Review

I purchased this mascara as I had read about it and I'm always keen to give new things a try. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't impress.

Firstly I didn't really see the 'pumped up' claim, my lashes have looked more pumped in Maybelline Falsies, so I didn't really want to keep adding layer after layer for poor results.

Secondly, after a couple of hours it started to smudge. I use a primer and like my makeup to stay in place, but by the end of the working day I had tissued off residue under my eyes several times.

I gave this to my teenage daughter who likes it 'okay' but she won't buy it again either.

I bought this along with a few other products and was super excited to try it because i have long lashes but love to have volume.

The first time i used it it was ok, but i ended up using a second mascara to really get the volume i wanted, i still used it for a few days but more as a base.

Then the brush started clumping the application was messy and clumpy, just after a few days! It also doesnt smell that great. Kind of disappointed.

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.

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.

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.

I bought this after seeing ALOT of hype! I found it to be a great product for the first few days, it gave my eyelashes volumes and length ! After about a week it found the end of the brush was clumping and not separating ... So I gave it a wash and it was sweet as for another week and then it happend again so I just left it and kept using it but I find the brush is so computed up with product it's in unusable now ... It's a bit disappointing considering it was very new and I stored it well and kept the lid on tight.

This mascara "accidentally" fell into my shopping trolley recently, it was cheap and one of my friends had recently told me how wonderful it was so I thought it would be rude not to try it.

I love the hot pink packaging of this mascara but then I love bright colours, so I open it up and check out the brush it is HUGE! Like I could brush my hair with that brush it is mahoosive! It's tapered at both ends then it bubbles out in the centre hmm a bit strange I thought but proceeded to applying to my lashes.

The formula of this black mascara is quite dry so I found it on the harder side to apply, especially with the mcmassive brush. It took a good 4 swipes to get enough mascara on my lashes. It lengthens them but doesn't thicken them. One thing that is a big plus is it didn't make my lashes look clumpy and they did give quite a natural look. I do have sensitive eyes and this didn't irritate them.

It does last all day and doesn't rub off even putting wood on the fire and getting smoke in my eye, then viciously rubbing my eye I was shocked to notice I didn't look like a panda it stayed put, I think this would be the first mascara that has stayed put like this.

I like the end result of this but the brush and the difficulty to apply it aren't a winner to me. honestly I probably won't buy again.

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.

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.
