Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

i use this as my daily mascara, and i love it! i wouldn't say it gives me 'cat like corners' but it makes my lashes nice and long without being too thick, making it perfect for everyday wear! will forever re purchase

Love this mascara for everyday, defiantly works to make your lashes long and separated. I sometimes add a volumising mascara as i find it doesn't add enough volume sometimes.

I use this mascara a lot, it comes in a very similar bottle to the original colossal. The bottle has a cool leopard print on it. The brush of this mascara is very nice and easy to coat each lash as it is curved. It does have some nice volume but I wouldn't say 8x the volume for my lashes. The formula lasts all day and doesn't crumble off at all. A good everyday mascara.

I really like this mascara. I bought it as id seen so many adverts and liked the idea of 'cats eyes' and it didn't disappoint. It made my lashes look fuller and really separated them. I didn't find that it came off throughout the day or clumped them together. It also looks really good on my bottom lashes. The mascara really makes a difference to my makeup look, my eyes look bigger and more dramatic. I will stick with this for a while!

Great mascara to top off your perfect smokey cat eye. It gives your lashes a nice fanned out look completely the perfect cat eye. It is also great for everyday lashes as it does't clump and gives and equal amount of length and volume - although not too much of either one.

I've tried a lot of mascaras and the original colossal mascara is one I go back to. So I thought I'd give the cat eye version a go.

Using the wand at first can be a bit intimidating as it's not quite the shape of the conventional mascara wand. But with a little practice you'll get the hang of it.

In terms of length and volume, just like pretty much every mascara I found it took more than one stroke to add length and volume to my lashes. I usually build it up over several root to tip strokes. This does then add volume and length but of course never as much as they advertise.

In comparison to colossal I think they have fairly similar outcomes. I think cat eyes may slightly better length and coverage, but without trying them side by side I didn't see any huge differences in the final look.

The packaging is bright and funky, perfect maybelline tie in packaging. And the wand is a slightly innovative point of difference. Though I feel like another mascara has a similar wand.

All in all, definitely worth trying.

I personally love this mascara - gives a great cat eye! I didn't experience flaking either which is a bonus.

I have tried a number of mascaras from various brands, drugstore and high end. I have often tried mascaras that have been raved about and found them terrible. I have come to the conclusion that mascaras are a very personal preference, dependent on someone's own lashes, desired effect and application technique. My own lashes are of medium length, volume and thickness and I seek my daily dose of extra everything - length, volume and thickness. This mascara gives me them all.

I often find that a mascara is at its best after being open for a few weeks; however, this one was great from the get-go. The formula isn't too runny and is easy to apply without it going everywhere. After a few strokes and no fiddling around, I have great results. I find it easy to remove with an oil cleanser and warm facecloth.

Although I will continue to try new mascaras from time to time, I will repurchase this one. It performs better that the high end mascaras that I have tried, is affordable and easy to access - in fact I might just pick one up in my next grocery shop.
