Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I nearly finished my first tube of this mascara and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. First of all, it can get very clumpy, so I have to be very careful not to apply more than one coats, I still need to separate my lashes sometimes, it isn't how I imagined "colossal". I purchased it because of all the good raves about it and maybe I set my expectations too high!? However I purchased the waterproof one and it really is waterproof. I have to bike to work and sometimes I'm lucky enough to bike in pissing down rain and I always check my mascara upon arrival and there is no one crease or black stain on my face at all, amazing!!

The colossal mascara did exactly what it said, It gave me great volume lashes with just one coat. With a second coat it can get clumpy but I was happy with the volume just one coat gave that I didn't really need a second coat.

I've found most Maybelline mascara's defineatly reliable and well worth the money! This product in particular is easy to apply and will last the whole day with no smudging, and so easy to remove. The only thing that I find is I do have to use a couple coats to get the look I'm after, but other than that it's perfect I would 100% recommend to anyone especially if you have sensitive eyes like me

Brilliant mascara it really does give you colossal eyelashes when you use this mascara :) I don't use mine all the time but when I want quite dark and thick looking eyelashes this is my go to product

so to begin with its not that great but then after a week it is a lot nicer maybe because it is quite runny? not sure. But definitely gives that full look. although you have to do it quick and can not re apply or it clumps. makes eye lashes very thick although not as long as some other mascaras make them go

I used this mascara after they stopped making my previous favourite. Its a good mascara, almost great - but compared to my previous one that they discontinued it didn't match up to the same standard. It gives a good oomph, length, fattening, clumps a bit but not too bad, and generally all the things that you want in a mascara.

What I did find is the bottle did tend to dry up quite quickly, and because you apply quite a lot of product, that it didn't last very long.

Overall I've purchased it a few times but was still buying other brands in the search for my new favorite mascara. I'm still bitter that they discontinued my favourite mascara, the search continues, years later.

I finally know what the rage is all about!! I was so happy with this mascara (buying it after hearing so many positive things) it gave me full and thick lashes. Would use it again for sure! The brush is amazing...thin bristles so no chances of those big ugly clumps. Separates and volumises eyelashes with ease!

I only bought this mascara by chance when my local Kmart was sold out of the falsies mascara and I was in desperate need. It turned out I actually really like this mascara, it does not however give you "collosal lashes in one coat". Seriously, it takes me around 4 coats of mascara to get thick, long looking lashes. I'm not complaining though, this mascara definitely defines my lashes and doesn't go clumpy. It's my favourite "everyday" mascara. I wouldn't recommend the non waterproof if you're going out dancing though as I did find the one time I wore it out it smudged, and the waterproof one is seriously hard to get off, so would go with the waterproof if you are after something long wearing

I was given this in a gift pack I won. Having already been a Maybelline mascara fan I was keen to use it.

Love the bright yellow mascara with purple shimmery print, its attractively packaged and really catches the eye and being bright yellow is easy to spot in your purse or makeup bag.

I find this mascara great for every day use. Gives a lovely thick coverage but I need to sweep it onto my lashes about 3 times - not once as advertised.

I don't find it gives me any extra length but that doesn't bother me as my lashes are long naturally.

I find this mascara really easy remove just with a face wash and it doesn't leave black marks.

Would definitely purchase this mascara

I am totally obsessed with Maybelline Volume Express Colossal lashes mascara!! I don't wear alot of makeup usually but always have mascara on and wow what a difference this product makes! My lashes double in size and I have had many compliments on my lashes and it's thanks to this. I love the bright yellow container it comes in too because it makes it easier to stand out in my makeup bag. The smell is of no big deal to me because it's very faint. I love it more because it's the only one I have tried that doesn't clump and that in a mascara is number one concern!
