Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

I'm not normally a fan of mascara. It tend to irritate my eyes. But not this one. I found it to be thicker than most mascaras, and wasn't clumpy. My lashes are also very long and straight and I normally have trouble getting them to hold curl but this product definitely helped do that and it lasted. Loving this product!

I enjoyed using this mascara. I felt it separated my lashes nicely. I didn’t notice a huge ‘curl’ as advertised. But it did a great job still and washed away easily in the shower.

I was lucky to be picked for a BR trial of this product. The product does exactly what it says it does, your lashes are big and bouncy. My lashes are quite long and nicely curled to begin with but while wearing this mascara I was asked if I was wearing false lashes and not believed when I said no. The mascara is easy to apply and the brush works well. The mascara was easy to remove with a makeup remover wipe. The packaging is basic and plastic but durable and good for something like keeping in your gym bag. My only gripe with this product is that the end of the tube is not flat so I can’t stand it upright when I’m applying the product. For some reason I didn’t want to lay it on its side without the lid on.

I am in love with this mascara! It is the best of have used in so long. I am a daily wearer of mascara it is a makeup I won’t go without so it’s important that I wears well. So I was pleased I didn’t have to try to scrape lots of product off the brush before applying, I pulled it straight from the container and onto my lashes and the results were fantastic, the increase in length was noticeable and there was certainly a curl in the lash. I have tried a lash curler before and never noticed any difference in my lash so I’m all for my mascara to do that for me. For this past week I have been using this mascara and no flaking or smudging and I am a contact lens wearer and no irritation. It also washes off well and I haven’t had panda eyes the next morning. I just love the shape of this mascara it’s shape makes it easy to find in my overflowing makeup drawer. I am a convert to this maybelline mascara so much so that I’m going to be going through that makeup drawer to get rid of some mascaras that I won’t be using ever again.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this. So far I've found it to be pretty good - The colour is a nice dark black, it removes easily without too much rubbing which I like and it's quite buildable for those of us who like to apply more than one coat. The wand has been pretty good at picking up all my lashes, even the ones in my outer corner that usually give me a bit of trouble. The one thing I don't like about it, and it wasn't until I got it out of the packaging and put it on my vanity, is that it looks like a tampon. It's a really silly thing to be put off but I just don't like that aspect of this product. I have suffered no eye irritation or product flaking off my lashes with this which is another point in its favour. I would purchase again depending on what price I could get it for.

Wow, I was really impressed by this mascara. I have very straight eyelashes that don’t hold a curl at all but this one gave me great volume and curl as well!

The packaging is nice and sturdy and I think that the lid has a ‘click’ to secure it when you screw it on. I find that having them click closed stops them drying up.

The formula seems to be a good consistency, quite light weight and I didn’t notice any clumping as I did a couple of coats.

I work in an office job so not too strenuous but I haven’t noticed any flaking or smudging with this mascara - I do wear quite heavy eyeliner/eyeshadow which does mask it so somebody else will hopefully comment on flakes or smudging. I have one eye that waters a little and it still seemed to stay on fine.

My only complaint is I wish it was a little more lengthening but it does give some (lengthening isn't a claim I saw on this mascara so I can’t hold it against it - the curling and volume part is so good that i can handle the length)

I have used this for a few days now and have really been enjoying it!

First impression - the packaging is not my favourite, it looks bulky and a bit cumbersome. However, the lid had that satisfying ‘click’ when you close it, and I also really like the shape of the wand! It is gently curved which makes getting into the root of your lashes nice and easy.

The product itself is nice, no strong smell, no irritation.

I love the way it didn’t clump my lashes together - I don’t know if it’s the formula or wand or a combination of the two but bit left my lashes really defined.

I wore this with no other make up and as such, rubbed my eyes as I forgot I had anything on, and was pleasantly surprised when I had no fallout or smudging!

I'm always up to find my next favourite mascara, and so was happy to trial this product (thank you BR!).

First of all, I like the packaging - it stands out from any other packaging I own and was very easy for me to spot amongst the clutter. I did find the packaging a little lightweight though - which meant it took me a little to get used to holding/controlling the wand.

The mascara itself did a fantastic job of lifting and separating my lashes. Usually I find most mascaras make my lashes look chunky on second mascara application, but this one did a wonderful job of enhancing thickness without clumpiness.

The lift lasted all day, which was brilliant.

The only reason I'm dropping it down in 'kissage' is that I did find it flaked during each of the days that I wore it, which wasn't ideal. No panda eyes though, and it washed off well.

I'd definitely consider repurchasing in the future if my usual favourite wasn't available/discontinued.

I love trying new mascara so was excited to be on this trial. One thing I always make sure is that my mascara is waterproof as I get watery eyes sometimes and there is nothing worse than looking like a panda! This however is not waterproof but says up to 24 hour wear so I was definitely going to put it to the test for staying power.

The tube it comes in is super chunky, it's definitely not my favourite.  The wand is a good size with one side slightly curved and sturdy bristles. I did one coat and holy moly my lashes were huge! It lengthened and curled brilliantly I was quite blown away by how they looked. It is a lovely deep black too which I like.

For me I only need one coat as when I tried going in for a second coat they just looked clumpy and some lashes were stuck together badly....it was quite a mess. The formula is more on the dry side and I feel like you need to work quickly as it dries quite fast.

I got no flakiness or transfer at all during the day.....I definitely did not look like a panda,  they pretty much looked exactly the same when I went to remove it 10 hours later. I used micellar water and it came off easily.

I feel like this is a brilliant mascara and it definitely does what it says. It makes my eyelashes really stand out which I love. It is great for both day and night and would look amazing with full eye makeup.  If you are looking for a new mascara that gives you beautiful lashes then I highly recommend buying this!
