Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara

I have been wanting to find a waterproof mascara, and this one really STICKS. It doesn’t just fall off in water without smudges, it’s doesn’t even budge. So if you want a mascara that doesn’t come off during the day, this is a go to. I did find that didn’t go on as nicely as other mascaras I have used, it didn’t spread and volumize them that much.

I’m not completely sold on the formula of this mascara. I have to admit, it does do as the description says, it’s long lasting and doesn’t flake off which is great! However I found the mascara didn’t make my lashes look that amazing, and didn’t feel make them dramatically different from their natural state. I found the formula a little dry and would have loved for the mascara to provide a bit more length. Overall I think this mascara is an okay one for day to day “natural” makeup, however if you’re wanting a dramatic affect than I don’t think this is the right one!

I have to be honest this mascara isn't what I thought it would be. I have very fine eyelashes that aren't very long so thought it might help to make them look thicker and longer but the brush is too big which makes it hard to apply to fine eyelashes. Feels really clumsy and messy. It also is quite clumpy. For the price I think there are better options out there. But hey if u have a nice set of thick set of eyelashes it might be great. Just didn't tick the box for me. On the bright side it is water proof and is a generous size. Amd nothing against Maybelline.....I have had great products from them in the past!

Not a fan of this mascara - became clumpy easily and did nothing for my eyelashes - it is a very pigmented black which I liked and it is most definitely waterproof which is a bonus. I just found it made my lashes look blah - no length, volume or Wow factor - far better and cheaper options on the market.

Picked this up in the vault. I used to use the original Colossal Mascara years ago. It was my number one favorite. I had relatively high hopes for this one.

After using this almost daily for the last month, my original opinion has changed a bit. -Not 100% waterproof can become smudgey when sweaty -Can be clumpy, doesn't separate lashes well. -I find this to be flakey -Dries very fast so I can't layer up the mascara like I usually prefer. However, the one layered look has grown on me. -Gives false lash look which I do enjoy

Didn't perform as well as I liked but still like it enough to continue using it. There are other mascaras that perform the same as and better than this one on the market that are cheaper. I won't be repurchasing.

I've always been a fan of trying any new volumising mascaras so was stoked to be picked to try this one. Packaging is basic but looks good in black, writing is clear and bold. The wand is pretty standard as far as mascara wands go, the colour is a nice intense black and the product itself is a good consistency- nothing worse than watery mascaras when they're first applied and go everywhere. Definitely got some good lash volume out of this but doesn't give lengthening effect that I like in a mascara. Its very waterproof- doesn't flake off or smudge as I found out after getting stuck in an Auckland rainstorm- was impressed at the staying power. Overall its a great mascara for volume and price wise its fab, but I ended up pairing with another mascara to get the length I prefer.

The packaging is simple and similar to other mascara’s but works well for the Maybelline brand and your eyes are draw to the gold Colossal wording on the front. The brush is easy to hold and the bristles evenly spaced out. The consistency is nice not dry but not runny either. The pigment is very black. The mascara definitely doesn’t clump with only a few layers but you need more for any noticeable difference in volume and it doesn’t lift your lashes which is a problem if your lashes are dead straight like mine. I never leave my mascara on for longer then 12 hours so the 36 hour claim I can’t prove but it didn’t smudge during the time I worn it.

This was an interesting mascara I really like the brush and consistency of the formula but if I was going to be honest I would probably not repurchase it again as I needed so many layers to get a descent look which did make it harder to get off then other waterproof mascara I have used.

Great waterproof ability but it clumps ,dries and flakes. Dries my lashes and it's hard to get off. I found I'd lose lashes while trying to remove this mascara. It's a no.
