Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

I was super excited to try this as I am forever trying to make my eyes look more cat like.

The first thing that struck me upon using this was how small and thin the brush is. I'm not sure why but I thought it may have been larger.

The formula of the mascara is nice - it's super pigmented and it goes on fairly easily although I found it takes a little while to dry.

The brush is easy to use and I like that it separates my lashes. However, I found it didn't really live up to its claims of making your eyes more cat like...

Even when I applied three coats to the outer lashes it made them look nice but not really any different to any other mascara I use.

I do enjoy the packaging of this, I think it's cute and it is really easy to spot in my collection as the yellow is so vibrant.

In my opinion the price is too high for something that I feel performs the same as other (lesser priced) mascaras. I got this at a bucket sale so I am not miffed as it was cheap but if I were going to spend $32.95 I would rather buy Benefit's 'They're Real' (my fave mascara ever).

I won't be repurchasing this but I still have a lot left so I will finish the tube. I would recommend this if it were a lot cheaper and you wanted something that is a decent mascara. However, I don't feel it lives up to its claims and the price - in my opinion - is ridiculous when the performance is so average.

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.

This is such an over rated mascara. Thanks to all the amazing advertorials I rushed into farmers and bought this product but much to my disappointment it really doesn't do much it gives slight length to my lashes but that is all.i have pretty full lashes and with a good mascara I can achieve fake lash effect very easily . however this one was nothing as claimed so I had to pass it on.

I personally havent tried many brands of mascara, if I remember correctly its only been a few Maybeline ones, a Loreal one and a MaxFactor one. I have been quite happy with the Maybeline range as I fall back to it everytime and I am currently using this one in conjunction with another at the moment and Im very happy with the results!

I find that this one, as well as the Collosal Volumizing one is great for creating plenty of volume in the lashes, it also makes your lashes nice and dark and I find that it creates great length to every individual lash.

One thing I find with this particualr mascara though is that the bristles on the comb can be a little bit rough if you are quite forcefull with the application because the bristles are not rubber they are more like the brisltes on a hairbrush or a teasing brush which I find has quite a scratchy feel to them. But the shape of the comb itself is great as it helps to push the lashes up creating a more "opened look" to your eyes.

I do find that with all the Maybeline mascaras I have tried they are quite watery at first, but once you have used them a couple of times it drys out to a better consistantcy. Just be mindful of this and persist with it :)

This mascara is the perfect day-to-day mascara, but really nothing special. The brush (for me personally) took a while to get used to as it's very thin and curved, but after a while I can see that it really is quite effective for lengthening. Unfortunately this mascara does very little towards volumizing my lashes, but it does lengthen them a lot! I think there are definitely better mascaras in the Maybelline range than this one, I would recommend The Falsies over this one.

I purchased this mascara on a recommendation from one of the staff members st Farmers. She said it stays put, waterproof and lengthens+volumizes. After using it for about 3 weeks I think it is AMAZING! It is perfect for me and doesn't smudge or run which is great considering I have a very busy lifestyle and don't have time for regular check ups.

It is fairly cheap and I didn't think it would work very well but I would definitely recommend it to others as I think it is amazing and it gives your eyelashes length and it actually does give the impression of a cat eye. I hear often that people say the smell is horrible but I can barely notice it. It is only a teeny bit clumpy when I apply layers after layers when they have dried between coats and that doesn't react very well. Overall though, I think it is definitely great for its price and would continue to buy it again and again!

I recently opened this (despite having far to many open already) because I was just in the mood to try something new and this caught my eye.

First of all I think the packaging is great. I love the leopard print on the lid and the bright yellow tube (great if your a makeup hoarder like me and need to be able to find it in the dark depths of your makeup draw haha).

The wand was a little weird to get used to I must say. I am used to the standard straight thick wand and this one rocks a funky curved (and quite thin) applicator. After a few goes I did get used to this and I think the design does help to separate the lashes well but doesn't give a more "cat eyed" look like promised, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing it for that reason alone. I do find the thinness of the brush makes getting the bottom lashes a bit easier though.

I was actually pretty happy with the results this gave me! I usually stick to very natural looking lashes and only apply very few coats even with a standard mascara. I find this gives my lashes great length with a couple of swipes and makes my lashes amazingly separated (just not voluminous at this point). The most recent time I used this I was going out at night so thought I would amp it up a bit and applied more coats. This definitely gave me very voluminous lashes (as well as lengthened) but just not as separated lashes as with less coats. I liked that despite the added coats it didn't clump terribly and my lashes only stuck together slightly (which usually happens anyway with added coats). The formula of this is super black and my tube wasn't as wet as I have found most maybelline mascara's to be, meaning it didn't get all over my top lid and ruin my eye-shadow (YAY!).

Overall, I think this is a pretty good mascara but I probably would not repurchase in store for the RRP (I got mine for far below that elsewhere) as it is still not my favourite.

OK so I confess I'm a huge leopard fan so brought this mascara purely on the print on the brush handle!

Pealed it out if the container and unscrewed the wand to apply the mascara. The liquid is smooth and no lumps or clumps. Plenty of liquid on the wand but not too much. I was able to do my eyelashes without having to dip the wand back in again!

I have naturally long eyelashes thanks to my muma ;) but they are fair, so once I applied this it appeared to lengthen my lashes significantly.

Really happy with the result

Also love how this just washes off with water and a little face wash

I loved this Mascara! I do enjoy a good mascara that separates and this was one of them! I enjoyed the brush shape also it's ergonomic shape fits perfectly around your lashes!

when i got this mascara it was the best thing ever but as maybelline does it comes out with more mascaras regularly but this was very good at the time i did find it did clump it was more for the volume and it didnt lengthen my lashes to much i find the maybelline one by one does evrything i need and makes my eyelashes to amazing
