Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara

I was stoked to get a Maybelline Colossal Waterproof Mascara to trial, thanks BR! The packaging is classic Maybelline: bold, bright and chunky enough to find at the bottom of your handbag. The outside barrel is a little weird in that the top doesn't sit flush with the bottom so there's an odd gap. With all the money these companies spend on marketing, I would imagine the gap is supposed to subtly influence buyer behaviour in some way but to be honest, it just looks like the top's about to come off. There's nothing special about the brush either; it's the kind of close bristle round brush that you'd find on most everyday-wear mascaras. The thing that stands out about the Colossal, is the formula. Creamy liquid, deeply pigmented, and boy, does it last. It's smudge-proof if you rub your finger across it, as I did, and the formulation doesn't turn your finger black. It's cry-proof - feel free to apply just before your favourite weepie on Netflix, no ugly-crying here! And it's pillow-proof if you happen to fall asleep wearing it. (Naughty! You don't do that, do you??) It is however, not twenty-minute-hot-shower-proof: you WILL step out of the steam looking like a seductive panda. I didn't test it for a full 36 hours, but I bet it probably would stay on that long if you applied two coats and didn't shower - perfect for camping and music festivals :) All in all, another decent product from Maybelline, and a nice price point too.

I really love this Mascara ! Its a lovely dark black colour and the brush attachment makes it very easy to apply. It glides on my lashes evenly without any clumps and makes them look a lot longer then they actually are. The Mascara stays on all day without any smudges or flakes dropping off and was easily removed at bed time with my usual eye makeup remover . I will 100% be purchasing this mascara when this bottle is empty and will be recommending to others i know struggling to find a long lasting Mascara.

I used this Maybelline Colossal mascara once on a work day before going into lockdown and it lasted the day and overnight with no problems. It didn't really add much volume compared to other Maybelline mascara I have used, but it gave enough coverage and at the base of my lashes was still coated the day after (I didn't wash off to see how it lasted the night). It also didn't give me panda eyes by sleeping overnight with it still on.

It didn’t add a lot of length to my lashes but oh my lord the volume was amazing! It gave my lashes such a beautiful make over without leaving my lashes look like a clumpy mess. Something I am so passionate about. A huge pet peeve of mine is clumpy separated looking lashes.

It wore amazingly! No smudging of any kind and it lasted all day, flake and mess free! The only issue I have with this mascara is it is really, really hard to get off. I tried three different types of cleansers including an oil cleanser and it would not budge (I guess in hindsight it’s a good thing given it is a waterproof mascara). I think having a proper eye makeup remover is a must with this mascara.

What an amazing effect the Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara has! It lengthens and thickens my eyelashes in an instant! It doesn’t clump together like other brands and last all day long! Definitely will use it from now on!

I tried this mascara once or twice and I’m not impressed, first of all, I felt like it didn’t make much of a difference compared to their normal Non-waterproof mascara. It didn’t make my eyelashes look thicker or longer. Bonus was that it was easier to get off than other mascaras. I did the onion cutting test and it passed the tears test.

At first I found this quite clumpy both on the brush and eye lashes, it took a few goes of wiping the brush and re dipping to get it more smooth and even. Personally I prefer a small brush to a big one but this was ok. The colour was lovely and dark and once on looks lush and gave my lashes a lovely full and long look which I loved. Also for a waterproof mascara came off super easily with an oil cleanser. Overall I liked it and would purchase but still do prefer a small brush

Does what it states - stays put and does not move! So much so you can only take off using a good oil or balm cleanser. Pigment/colour was great and applied nicely. Was not super liquidly, felt more dry compared to most mascara's and didn't layer up on the lashes as much. Not a super dramatic finish, but better designed for daily use at work. Was overall easy to apply and did a great job at coating the lashes.
