Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

I've used this mascara both in the waterproof and non waterproof versions. I feel like the water proof version is a little more clumpy, but sometimes I like that particular look.

overall I got some added length, but nothing amazing. I found that this took a little too long to dry, and was always a little sticky even hours after application.

It's wand allows for maximum coverage of all lashes, but in saying this it doesn't seperate and define each one, it clumps three or four together and after a few coats lashes can look spidery.

It is very black which I liked a lot, but it's nothing overly special.

I was really disappointed by this mascara compared with maybelline's range it isn't very good. It promises these big voluminous eyes but what you end up with is just tinted eye lashes. Colossal cat eyes brush is curved so you think that it helps with curving your lashes, it doesn't. Does it improve your volume? Barely. Whenever I use this, I am reminded of the money I wasted in buying this mascara. Don't waste your time and money buying this. It's not clumpy, that's the only thing it has going for it.

I'm not 100% sold, seems very watery and is a lil messy. I don't feel it coats my lashes as well as other mascaras.

I was given this mascara by a friend who bought it and didn't like it, and I think I'd have to agree with her. It's OK, it works but I don't think it's as good as it claims to be. I found the brush didn't get much product on it, it was awkward to put on with the brush shape, and I have other cheaper mascaras which make my lashes look longer, darker and thicker. I wouldn't buy this for myself.

I’ve had some great experiences with Maybelline mascaras in the past, and so my expectations of this product were quite high but unfortunately it didn’t quite make the cut for me. The consistency of this mascara was just right – not too thick, not too runny, but I found the application of it a bit messy. The instructions are to brush in one long sweep from the roots of the lashes, but I found every time I have done this, I have gotten the mascara all over my eyelids. I’ve tried not going as close to the roots, but then it doesn’t seem to work as well. I did see it lengthen my lashes, but separated them too much for my personal liking. Overall, I don’t mind this mascara, but it’s not my favourite. I won’t be purchasing this one again unfortunately.

I was really in two minds about this product, it gave good volume, which is what I look for in a mascara but it smudged around my eyes. I really liked the curved brush, I found it easy to coat all my lashes. If mascaras often smudge on you this product isn't for you, if not definitely give it a go!

I loved this mascara at first but then using the brush without creating a mess became a challenge.I would have to put it down to beginner's luck. If you have the time and skills to master the brush it's an awesome product and your eye lashes will look feline-fabulous. Unfortunately, I have limited skills and time and ended up with eyelashes clumping together. I also felt really challenged using the brush to create symmetry between my left and right outer eye lashes. There are only so many angles my arm can maneuver into to.

Great lashes are important for any look, I loved that this product was able to cut down the time I usually spend on multiple layers of mascara.

I do love that the product creates big lashes in one sweep, however it is not buildable and tends to clump lashes together. I prefer more wispy lashes and the brush coats the lashes together to become long rather than to have volume. The product also leaves fallout under the eyes by the end of the day, not that it is hard to clean and correct.

I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys long lashes in little time, but be prepared to spend that saved time removing it later!

I wouldn't rate this mascara that highly. I found the brush hard to use and thought that it didn't lengthen my lashes as much as I would like. It does make them thicker and blacker, but if you're looking for long spidery looking lashes, this isn't the product for you.

I didn't find to much difference compared to the original Colossal expect for the brush of course. It took awhile to get used too, I liked it but I wouldn't buy it again nor rave about it.
