Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

The Mabelline mascara gives great volume and length while being waterproof (which is so handy in summer and our rainy winter). I actually really love the wand because i can get into the really tight spots without transferring the product onto my skin.

I picked this up from a beauty sale and was eager to try it. Boy is it great! It makes my lashes look amazing, no clumping at all and it lasts all day. I remove it using some coconut oil on a makeup pad and it easily comes off. I love the packaging and the wand. Great product and will continue to purchase when it runs out.

I like this mascara just as a mascara in general, but it does not live up to the claims it makes. 'Full lashes in one swipe' is not true, however when you do apply a few swipes or coats it does give your lashes a wonderful boost, the brush works well to fit my eye shape and coat every single lash with ease. I also wouldn't say it's '8x the volume', but it definitely enhances your lashes and lasts well without smudging. It's pretty similar to your average mascara but with a different brush which I personally like but others may not, so I would only recommend purchasing if the brush is something you like or want to try!

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

Great mascara! especially for lower lashes due to the brush shape!, it dried quicker than my other maybelliene mascaras, this one did give a wee flick to the lashes "hence the cat eyes branding" but i found it was good to use overtop of another mascara to almost set in place my lashes, would repurchase if it was on sale.

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 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.
