Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I have now had this mascara for approx 18 months. I did give it a rest for many months but have recently gone back to it & am very happy I did. First I found the smell off putting - to me it smells like the hayfever medicine of my child hood (aka torture). However, getting over my child hood scars was important, as the application is great, easy & only rarely do I have issues of it going AWOL. I mostly apply only one coat, as seldom is a second coat required.

This mascara is fantastic for the first two weeks. It separates the lashes. Makes them look fuller and looks gorgeous. After two weeks though the mascara goes clumpy and practically is a throw away.

Love it! Gives a smoky effect, I just add some dark black eyeliner to the right line and smoke it out with some black shadow but my only dislike about this awesome mascara is that it drys out in a couple of months, but it's cheap and one of my favourite drugstore just wish it didint dry out so fast

I have read the others' reviews and wonder "what's wrong with me?" because I have found this a clumsy product. The container is quite large and the results I get are a bit hit and miss. Possibly it's because I wear glasses and cannot see my lashes clearly, but with the coarser container and brush there can need to be a clean up or patch up later! However, I shall persevere, I only purchased it recently, and hope things improve.

I absolutely love this mascara. I have long lashes and one side is thicker than the other. Some mascarsas acentuate this however this one evens them out. I love the brush too, it add the product evenly and doesn't leave any lumps or stick my lashes together.

Being the queen of mascaras and loving my mascaras to give me that plump and false lash look, I found this mascara to be right up my alley. Although I did apply a few coats to reach the maximum effect, I was still happy with this product.

I absolutely love this mascara. I find that it works well to separate and volumize my eyelashes. I work in retail and I am constantly being asked what mascara I use.

I find that unlike other mascara's this one doesn't clump and and it also stays on all day and I don't have smudge marks under my eyes. I use simple make up wipes and they take this mascara off easily.

The packaging is quite simple and the brush is really easy to use. I also find that I get out just the right amount of product each time.

I found this mascara horrid from the beginning. It came out clumpy from the very beginning. I had to throw it out after a week because of all the clumps! Hoping I just got a dud because I was expecting great things!

I was so excited to try this Mascara out, I have very fine short lashes and to have more Volume and thickness is an absolute must for my lashes to stand out. For my first application the product was extremely thick and quite clumpy on the lashes, they did look thicker on first application, but not separated and I didn't like the look. But as time wore on and there was less product on the brush, it became easier and my lashes were nicely separated. I definitely liked the look as time wore on but for the price you pay, it doesn't do what it says from the get go and I've tried cheaper Mascara's with better results.

I find this product great for getting a more bold look. You can apply as many coats as you like without it going clumpy and having your eyelashes stick together. The only downside is that it can dry out quite quickly.
