Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

This mascara separated my lashes, made them very black and super long! I've had this mascara for a while and the formula is still very watery, not think and chunky at all. This mascara has a wand that I love! I bought mine in waterproof, and it is truly waterproof! The only bad thing is that it is so hard to get off!

I bought this mascara purely because of the packaging. i love the cute leopard type print on the tube. The wand is small which I like because this means it is a lot easier to wiggle around and get mascara on every lash. This mascara is not clumpy at all and makes my lashes very long! With this I found that I get next to no volume and an eyelash curler is a must! Two coats of this mascara is all I need for long lashes, and with the small wand, I can get right into my inner and outer lashes. The only downside to the mascara that really annoys me is that it flakes during the day and is not wearable for long. The curl from the eyelash curler doesn't last long either and my lashes end up looking flat, while mascara is flaking all over my eyes. Using a coat of waterproof mascara helps prevent this, and if I remember I will usually pop waterproof mascara over top after my second coat of the colossal cat eyes mascara. I still use this mascara everyday as I do still really like it, but after it runs out I think I will look fot another one.

I purchashed this mascara after hearing a friend rave about it. I was not disappointed! Some people find the curved wand off-putting or annoying but I love it. It makes it sooo easy to apply to all of your lashes, it grabs onto all of them and separates the lashes nicely. The formula is quite thin so it doesnt clump easy yet its thick enough to give plenty of volume and length. The only problem I have with it is how difficult it is to remove. I have the waterproof one and I use an avon makeup remover but it has no effect, it just wont budge! Hence why even though I love the mascara I dont often reach for it as its such a struggle to remove it without pulling lashes out and irritating my eye area. Perhaps its just time to invest in a new makeup remover, that may do the trick?

I like the shape of the brush, it makes it easy to apply without getting it on your skin but I didn't find that it gave the amount of volume I was expecting. I like maybelline mascaras and would use again for everyday use but not to give dramatic or bold effects.

Got this at Countdown on clearance, it's hard to pass up a mascara from a well known brand at $6.99. The packaging is a pretty standard shape, the colour makes it really stick out though. I like the wand - it has a good shape. I don't like the smell of the product, it has a strong fragrance that just seems odd for a mascara. The product itself went on really well the first few times, and then seemed to clump up a little on the wand. Wiping it on the edge seems enough to keep it going though. It lasts well and builds up to a dramatic effect. Some mascaras sting my eyes, but I didn't have a problem with this one. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is towards the end of the day it starts to flake and when that gets in my eye it definitely stings. So for a shorter period, a night out say it is well worth it. I'm not sure if its the one I would pick at full price though.

I like this mascara. The wand is excellent, and the actual product is good, no strong smell. The only issue I had was with the lasting time. It seemed to go on great in the morning and then I'd get to about midday and my lashes would look flat and clumpy. Overall a good product but definitely not long lasting.

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 :)

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!

The packaging is what drew me to this mascara in the first place, and im glad it did. I love it. The wand is amazing, its curved which makes it easier to apply and actually helps keep the curl in your eyelashes. It doesn't clump and will stay on all day. Its also reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend.
