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.

Tips: Need a few coats to give volume if that is what you are after.
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!
Tips: Use a small amount of the Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara and brush it on your eyelashes. Don’t redo the brushing too much, it will provide a great effect without using too much of the mascara.
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.
Tips: Always use an oil based cleanser to cleanse water proof mascara
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
Tips: clean and re-dip brush a few times to start with to get rid of any lumps.
I was really pleased to be able to trial this mascara. My makeup routine consists only of foundation, eyeliner and mascara so its a pretty important ingredient for me. Also, I have very heavily hooded eyelids, ageing and extremely oily. Mascara really helps to open my eyes but with the eyelids actually sitting on top of my lashes the product has to be invincible to make it through the day on my lashes and not paint a black line through my upper eyelids.
The mascara consistency is on the dryer cream side rather than a wetter lotion-like product. It goes on smoothly and dries quite quickly. I didn't find it gave me much of a "Colossal" look, no real thickening or lengthening was evident after application but certainly my blonde tipped eyelashes were all totally black. It also gave my lashes a bit of lift and really good definition.
The magic was that as it dried so quickly I didn't get any immediate transfer onto my upper lid, and best of all it didn't get up there all day!
I gave it my toughest assignment, plastering my face with sunscreen (including eyelids) and going outside all day to do farm work. No flaking, no bleeding and no transfer despite plenty of sweat going on.
It worked just as beautifully on a full face of make-up for a day in the office.
I can't stay awake 36 hours so really can't vouch for that, but this is such a great every day mascara I think it would be hard to beat.
Tips: Oil-free eye make-up remover will require a bit of rubbing to get this off, so an oil/balm cleanser will work best.
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.
Tips: Use several coats to build up the layers and give a more dramatic look.
SO COOL I love the waterproof feature of this mascara. I love that the mascara applies on so easily. I tried washing my face and I didn’t get any raccoon eyes this was amazing! There was no smudging of my mascara when I rubbed my eyes either (which is all the time) I love that the brush bristles curve the lashes and lengthen them. I did not expect the bristles of the brush to be so defined and voluminous this was an unexpected surprise which I’m super happy about, I was expecting a regular mascara with the waterproof feature. I love the shade of black, definitely defines the lashes. The mascara did not make my eyelashes clump together and when applying the lashes became nice and separate. This is something I will definitely be buying this again for myself!
Tips: Wait a little while for the mascara to fully dry before getting your lashes wet otherwise they will run and look like raccoon eyes
Another great mascara from maybelline, it’s pretty standard in performance, nothing outstanding in my opinion. Performs like any other maybelline mascara on the market, I don’t think this brought anything new to the playground for us. I like the brush, it’s thick and fluffy, tube is cute too. It has nice black colour, but I felt like it was already a tad dry and I just got it out of the packet. I had to go through my lashes a few times for them to be coated properly, it doesn’t lengthen or makes my lashes fuller, it just colours them black, which for me is the bare minimum from a mascara. I will update this review after continued use, especially after I could wear this at work to see how it holds up, but just hanging around at home it stayed on great the whole day, no transferring onto the skin or under my eyes, so far it’s looking promising. Even though it’s waterproof I had no trouble removing this mascara at all, came off easy with a micellar water and a quick face wash in the shower.
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.
