Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara

Wow, I am the queen of any mascara smudging! I've tried waterproof ones, and ones that claim they don't smudge, but they always do. I went into this with mixed feelings, I was hoping that it would live up to its claims, but I've been disappointed before, but fret not! This DOESN'T SMUDGE!!! It literally didn't even move for an entire day!!! I couldn't believe it!! I've never had this happen before, I'm so so happy!! I'll be using this one and repurchasing it again! And it made my lashes look really good, which is another bonus, it didn't clump, didn't look spidery at all!!

Ok so first impressions the smell is like going back in time to previous iterations of Maybelline mascaras. It's a pretty easy mascara to apply a light or heavier coat of. It doesn't weigh down my lashes and gives good coverage. A perfect every day mascara. I've been using a different mascara recently and it seems to always make my left eye itchy/irritated (yep, only one eye because... actually no idea). I had no impulse to rub my eye after putting it on. The brush separated my lashes well and it stayed on without flaking. Pretty easy to remove with my makeup remover and I'm officially going to toss the other one I had and use this instead.

This mascara was perfect for me. It’s applicator does a great job at coating and separating lashes! No clumps! If you like very voluminous fake looking lashes this mascara isn’t for you. It does however give you long natural looking lashes with a small amount of volume. Just what I like. It stayed all day no smudging and also didn’t budge when I washed my face and i wore it to sleep to test out the longevity of it! Looked just as good in the morning as when it was first applied!

This mascara really does stay put for the whole day and night! It’s not just waterproof and long-wearing but it also thickens and lengthens the lashes as well, which is what you want from a mascara! I even tested this out during my dance class. Usually by the end of the dance class my mascara is all smudged around my eyes and I have panda eyes. But with this mascara it looked just as good as when I first put it on, even after my sweaty dance class! I was super impressed. I also tested this out by wearing it to the hot pools and again, even with the steam and getting some water on my eyes, it stayed put. So I really love this mascara and would absolutely recommend it. The only downside, which is not surprising, is that it is hard to remove at the end of the day. As it’s waterproof, it is going to be harder to remove and I found that my basic makeup wipes and also miceller water just doesn’t cut it. So I’d recommend using an eye makeup remover for waterproof mascara. But apart from that, I’m really loving this mascara!

The first time I tried this mascara, I was dissatisfied by the results as apart from making my eyelashes look blacker, it didn't look like it had done much but I gave it a second chance and I LOVE IT. Application was easy and it went om smoothly without clumping. My lashes looked fuller and longer and it lasted throughout the whole day and came off nicely using a micellar water wipe without giving me panda eyes. Glad I gave it a second chance.

I love this! It gives volume to your lashes without any clumps and makes your lashes look so natural with that extra volume. Went out and used this product and it didn’t smudge at all. Definitely use this for your daily wear.

Mascara is a staple in my make up routine so I was extremely lucky to be able to try this!! Packaging is standard for a Maybelline mascara. The wand is great and what you would expect for a volumising mascara as well. I love that the bristles of the wand are longer in the middle and shorter at the top. This makes coating the inner lashes with the tip of the wand a lot easier! The formula itself isn’t too “wet” and slippery. It seemed to be a bit thicker and I feel that’s what made it easier to apply on my lashes without it going everywhere. I normally coat my lashes twice with any mascara so I did the same with this one. I found that this product goes on quite easily and doesn’t clump on the second coat! It dries quite quickly too. It lasted really well for my liking. I unfortunately was not able to trial it for the full 36 hours it claims to go on for but can definitely say it’s flake proof and smudge proof for sure. I would definitely be purchasing this again!

I'm not one to wear too much make up but with my blonde eye lashes Mascara is something I always wear. Maybelline Colossal Mascara, in my opinion, is everything you want in a Mascara! The lovely big brush provides even product to leave your lashes enhanced and elongated and, even after a few applications, doesn't make the lashes stick together or create clumps of product. I sit at a computer all day and have a bad habit of rubbing my tired eyes and after doing this I wouldn't be left with smudges of Mascara around my eyes or my hands. In regards to its waterproof-ness, it withstood spectating a game of football in torrential rain, without an umbrella, and no running or smudging.

The packaging was basic, and the wording clear and bold. The tube is a nice size and the wand basic compared to other mascaras that I have used. The “product” itself is a great consistency, nice and thick. When I applied it did not smudge and applied smoothly on my lashes. The colour is an intense black. The mascara is VERY waterproof, as I went to tje gym a couple of times after work and it did not run or anything, was very impressed with that. It also so waterproof that washing it off is a mission that is how waterproof it is and definitely long wearing. Compared to for example the Better then Sex mascara it does not give that effect of longer lashes. A great mascara either way for maybe a cheaper alternative to the more expensive mascaras put there. For a more intense look I apply 2 coats.

Will definitely get again.

I received this product to review by Beauty Review but realised too late that I miss the deadline because I have been feeling unwell. It was wonderful using this product for the sole reason that my eyelashes are nothing to write home about. The Maybelline Colossal Mascara comes a nice to hold, chunky tube that is easy to apple. The spooley is perfect for coating each lash. I found that my eyelashes looked longer and more defined. The product also stayed put for the almost 15 hours I had it on for. I don't know who would have their mascara on for 36hours or even sleep with mascara on, especially waterproof mascara, because you probably shouldn't do that. However it should stay on comfortably all day and look as great in the evening as it did in the morning. I would recommend this product.
