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!

Tips: You will most definitely need an oil based eye make up remover to get this off. The mascara claims to be water proof and it very much is!!
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.
Tips: I would when cleaning recommend using wipes to get the product off completely.
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.
Tips: I did scrap off the excess product on the rim and built up a few coats rather than going in with a loaded spooley.
I've tried likely hundreds of different mascaras, in all price ranges over the years and this is pretty darn good. Nice and dark. Makes my lashes beautiful and long :D not spider leggy at all which I'm always worried about.
Tips: I use a mascara guard as I constantly get mascara on my lids
I recently received this along with some other goodies from BR and I love it! Great length, waterproof and the brush is handy for getting in the inner and outer corners of your eyelashes :)
I'm always excited to try new mascaras and picked up the Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara from the Beauty Vault. I've used other mascaras in the Maybelline Colossal range and love the chunky shape which makes it easy to unscrew the mascara and grip the wand.
I tend to prefer the wire brushes like this one over molded plastic mascara wands and it picks up a good amount of product and applies the mascara really effectively. It's not clumpy or too heavy so it takes few layers to build anything "colossal" like. If I use an eyelash curler before applying, it doesn't immediately sink the curl and I don't end up with fall out or smudging over the course of the day.
I also really appreciate that the Maybelline Colossal Up To 36H Waterproof Mascara is waterproof yet easily removable with my usual evening cleansing process.
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.
Tips: Warm water and flannel won't get this mascara off cleanly, you'll need some kind of cleanser. Micellar water works a treat!
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 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.
Tips: For extra volume i always apply the mascara with a zig zag brush instead of applying it and brushing it straight up. That way you get more of the mascara on without clumping
