Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Mascara Review

Thanks Beauty Review for this trial. I was excited to trial a new mascara, I am still searching for my holy grail. After this trial, I am still searching. I am not saying there is anything wrong with this one, however I felt it didnt live up to its promise of fully loaded volume in one coat.

I did enjoy the brush, it was a bit different to my usual brush, this was wavy. I felt I got length but not the volume.

I am not currently using a lash serum so my lashes need some help with looking thicker.

The formula was quite nice, the colour was awesome and it didnt flake off throughout the day. It removed really well with my usual eye makeup remover. Overall, not too bad but not my favourite mascara.

I purchased this from Countdown they are on special at the moment for $15 usually $25. The packaging caught my eye, it came in a nice black and gold tube cardboard box. Anyway, I found it gave my lashes good length but its very much just like any other mascara i have used. I would recommend scraping the wand on the sides of the mascara first otherwise will be clumpy. An ok mascara, not great, just like most other drug store mascaras.

I love how this product was packaged as well as the colouring. I love the length that it gives my lashes, how ever there is not alot of volume.

Goes on nice and creates a lovely lash. Good texture and easy to apply, doesn’t look to glunky as some do. My only thing about this is it’s very hard to remove at the end of the day, it stays quite stuck on even with makeup remover. So I probably wouldn’t use it again because of this unless I didn’t have anything else.

I am currently using Maybelline The Colossal Big Shot Mascara and I love it. I am not a fake lash person and find it really difficult to put on. Therefore I always prefer a good mascara that can give a nice extension. This is surely the one I want and does what it says. I love it for the fact that it does not make lumps on the lash but easier to apply in a few easy strokes. It gives a volume as good as a fake lash. I am surely going to use it again.

I love Maybelline mascaras. I brought this one as I'd heard mixed reviews and I loved the original colossal mascara and the original falsies so thought why not. Lovely bright container means it's always easy to see in my overcrowded makeup bag. I love the brush shape, it looks plushie and gets into all my hard to reach lashes. Applies well and makes my lashes look amazing and full. I feel like it kind of wears off a little through the day...it doesn't smudge it just kind of dulls a little. The formula I tried from Farmers was the non waterproof one as I couldn't spot one there that was. That would be my biggest issue as I get a little teary if it gets windy and is possibly why I have the issue of it dulling throughout the day. I find it cleans off super easy when I wash my makeup off at night and doesn't leave a buildup. This too is possibly because it was the non waterproof option and I am very used to using a waterproof mascara. For a jon waterproof mascara I feel it does a pretty good job. If I can find the waterproof option I will try and update my review.

I got this on sale, thinking it is what it is. But wow. It makes my lashes SO long and pop. I love this and will certainly be repurchasing (even at full price haha). It does leave a little black under my eye, but I do have super long lashes anyway so will always have black eyelids. Doh. This was well priced and is my new go to!

This mascara is good for so many reasons. If you like thick and luscious lashes then this is for you. I love the thick brush its very easy to apply the mascara and picks up a lot of product so have to re dip less. I have purchased mascaras double the price and they are less effective. I actually always have one of these on the go and usually use it to the bitter end. Can get from most supermarkets, chemist and department stores for approx $20-$25 so its very affordable. I don't tend to use a lot of Maybelline products but I really like their range of mascaras.
