I actually stole this mascara from my sister when I forgot to pack my own in my make-up bag (I was using Dior thicklashes). Turns out this mascara did a much much better job at volumizing my lashes than my Dior! I've only used a couple of others other than this one, but, this would be my pick!

Fanlashulous!
Tips: Dip your mascara brush into some vaseline if you're going swimming, it naturally thickens and darkens your lashes!

Great but risky product
Be careful with this because too many coats and all your lashes go from colossal to cluster. The formula doesn't tend to stay nice for long either, after about 3 weeks mine seems to go super gluggy and almost impossible to apply nicely. But for the first two weeks it's a godsend :)

colossal mascara
this is my favourite go to mascara. it has a nice fat brush and has good coverage at an affordable price
Tips: don't pump the mascara wand, instead twist it in the tube as pumping it gets air the the tube and dries it out

Maybeline
I liked this mascara but didn't love it. I love the brush though. I didn't find it made my lashes appear thicker but did add length and separated them too which I liked
Tips: Let coats dry in between applications. I found my lashes went quiet lumpy with product and the mascara went crumbly if you pile it on without drying in between.

Colossal !
I really liked the shape of this brush! It covered most of my lashes in one stroke. And the formula was really dark black which gives a bold look. While I did like colossal, I found that it can clump and also flake or be lumpy.
Tips: I have reasonably long but straight eye lashes, so I usually curl my lashes first. I would use illegal length first (only a couple coats) then apply colossal, as colossal doesn't lengthen that much.

Great Mascara!
The best thing about this mascara is the BIG wand! I always get the nicest results from this mascara.
Tips: As the wand's quite large, place a business card carefully under you lower lashes so you don't get panda eyes :)

I first saw this thick yellow tubed product in the makeup bag of a friend's teenage daughter, and then again on the bathroom shelf of another, which led me to believe that I might be too old for the product. The price tag kept it a little out of my 'I'll just try it and use it' tendencies for a while, and then I figured I would jump right in the deep end. The brush was thicker than I'd normally use, and the mascara was slightly dryer, although it definitely gave some oomph to my eyes. I found that it smudged a little on my lids and that I had to follow up with a cotton bud to remove the excess, but it was great when applied on top of my usual mascara to give that further boost of impact. I'm glad that I've tried it but it's not something that I will regularly purchase. If someone gave me a free one, I wouldn't say no however xx
Tips: It's a thicker, dryer sort of mascara with a thicker brush. You might need to run a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover along the lids of your eyes after application depending on how thick a 'lined effect' you are after (I don't wear eye liner and prefer a more natural look). it would go great with thick liner or smoky eyes.
