Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof 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 received Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara in the colour black.

It had quite a delicate scent, not at all strong which is important for my sensitive eye area. The brush is typical of volumising mascaras, full, but not too bulky as to make application difficult.

The formula itself is really easy to apply as it covers the lashes evenly without clumping. It is easy to build up the volume and I applied two coats for a semi-dramatic daytime look to wear to work.

I applied this mascara early in the morning, and it looked just as fresh in the evening, although I didn't stay up for 36 hours to text that claim!

Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara is a great addition to my makeup collection as it does exactly as it claims, and is affordable so I can use it every day.

I probably wouldn’t have bought a Maybelline mascara after the horror that was great lash in the 90’s, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. At first glance it could be any other mascara. Upon opening, I was disappointed by what looked like a clumpy formulation on the applicator wand. I was also surprised and hesitant as I applied it because of how soft the bristles of the wand were. I didn’t think it was going to be any good. Spider legs for sure, I thought. However, the transformation was amazing. That clumpy looking soft bristled applicator had curled, thickened and defined my lashes into beautiful symmetrical naturally false looking colossal beauties with no clumps! The formula is smoooooooth. I decided to put it to the test of lockdown and left it on for the 36 hours it says it can last up to. I’m not normally one to handle leaving make up on, but it was quite nice to awaken the following morning with my lashes still looking great, and no black marks on my white satin pillow case! By the afternoon I was keen for a touch up as it seemed to have worn off, however there were no panda eyes, no smudging of it onto my skin at all. This mascara does what it says it does and is a breeze to use. I’ve since applied extra coats and still no clumping, and it comes off easily with micellar water. I think I’ll be switching up my mascara brand back to Maybelline and sticking with the colossal!

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.
