Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

I do prefer the original Colossal - but this is not too bad but definitely not my favorite Maybelline mascara. But the packaging is very cute with the leopard design

i actually really enjoy using this but because i have naturally long lashes and because its a tad wet it tends to rub onto my face but once it drys its great

Decent mascara, only needs one application to give results. Perfectly suits my eye shape too, which is probably why it works so well for me, with my 'almond' shaped eyes :) I use the waterproof version for when it's wet out, which is great, but if you don't get it all off with makeup remover it'll rub all over your eye area during the night so be careful to get it all off.

I'm using this mascara at the moment, Gives me a long look but doesn't give me the fuller look I like. I did find it doesn't clump tho. This mascara is good for day to day use if you just want to look nice nathink spectacular.

Truth be told a mainly bought this product because of its pretty packaging. This mascara worked well at giving my lashes lots of volume but not so much length. I mainly use this mascara on my lower lashes as the slimmer brush make it easier to cover smaller lashes without smudging. The waterproof one worked well at keeping my lashes in place and voluminised all day long. Would be nice if the had a black brown option as the black was a little too dark for me when I wanted a more natural look.

I love maybeline but this particular brush I am not a big fan off. I bought this mascara and ended up swapping the brush. It was just a bit too award for me to use...

I want to love this mascara and give it a great review. It makes my lashes long with a great flick however the wand just does my head in. If you try swirl the brush around the tube it pops off the lid so you have to get black fingers fishing it out and sticking it back on. I thought I was just unlucky but upon reading more reviews see this is a standard feature!! Also, the floral smell is a bit gross.

The mascara itself is great, and if it's on a good special I'd probably buy it again but for now i'm off to find another one!

It's a good mascara for using on top of other mascaras, for that final waterproofed touch. It seperates, and adds a lot of length, and the brush is nicely curved. Formula is a tad too wet though, so you need to have the patience to wait for it to dry.

I recently opened this (despite having far to many open already) because I was just in the mood to try something new and this caught my eye.

First of all I think the packaging is great. I love the leopard print on the lid and the bright yellow tube (great if your a makeup hoarder like me and need to be able to find it in the dark depths of your makeup draw haha).

The wand was a little weird to get used to I must say. I am used to the standard straight thick wand and this one rocks a funky curved (and quite thin) applicator. After a few goes I did get used to this and I think the design does help to separate the lashes well but doesn't give a more "cat eyed" look like promised, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing it for that reason alone. I do find the thinness of the brush makes getting the bottom lashes a bit easier though.

I was actually pretty happy with the results this gave me! I usually stick to very natural looking lashes and only apply very few coats even with a standard mascara. I find this gives my lashes great length with a couple of swipes and makes my lashes amazingly separated (just not voluminous at this point). The most recent time I used this I was going out at night so thought I would amp it up a bit and applied more coats. This definitely gave me very voluminous lashes (as well as lengthened) but just not as separated lashes as with less coats. I liked that despite the added coats it didn't clump terribly and my lashes only stuck together slightly (which usually happens anyway with added coats). The formula of this is super black and my tube wasn't as wet as I have found most maybelline mascara's to be, meaning it didn't get all over my top lid and ruin my eye-shadow (YAY!).

Overall, I think this is a pretty good mascara but I probably would not repurchase in store for the RRP (I got mine for far below that elsewhere) as it is still not my favourite.
