Maybelline The Colossal Cat's Eyes

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!

I love this mascara, more than any other mascara I’ve ever used. And that’s a lot of mascaras to beat!

I have two of these in my makeup bag, in fact. Because I love them so much! Easy to apply, goes on smoothly, doesn’t clump easily, build able, and elongating! Everything I love in a mascara all rolled into one beautiful product.

I never lose it in my makeup bag because of the colour either so that’s a bonus!!

This product flakes up a storm!! Can't really say much about it, it is a mascara that covers the eyelash but doesn't add any 'oomph', so very anti climatic for a maybelline mascara! The curved shape of the wand is good for reaching all eyelashes but the length of the bristles mean that every swipe (if not done gently and slowly) gets the product on your eyelid. The actual product colour is good but it flakes about 30mins after application. 3/10

I have tried a number of mascaras from various brands, drugstore and high end. I have often tried mascaras that have been raved about and found them terrible. I have come to the conclusion that mascaras are a very personal preference, dependent on someone's own lashes, desired effect and application technique. My own lashes are of medium length, volume and thickness and I seek my daily dose of extra everything - length, volume and thickness. This mascara gives me them all.

I often find that a mascara is at its best after being open for a few weeks; however, this one was great from the get-go. The formula isn't too runny and is easy to apply without it going everywhere. After a few strokes and no fiddling around, I have great results. I find it easy to remove with an oil cleanser and warm facecloth.

Although I will continue to try new mascaras from time to time, I will repurchase this one. It performs better that the high end mascaras that I have tried, is affordable and easy to access - in fact I might just pick one up in my next grocery shop.

Great lashes are important for any look, I loved that this product was able to cut down the time I usually spend on multiple layers of mascara.

I do love that the product creates big lashes in one sweep, however it is not buildable and tends to clump lashes together. I prefer more wispy lashes and the brush coats the lashes together to become long rather than to have volume. The product also leaves fallout under the eyes by the end of the day, not that it is hard to clean and correct.

I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys long lashes in little time, but be prepared to spend that saved time removing it later!

Great mascara! especially for lower lashes due to the brush shape!, it dried quicker than my other maybelliene mascaras, this one did give a wee flick to the lashes "hence the cat eyes branding" but i found it was good to use overtop of another mascara to almost set in place my lashes, would repurchase if it was on sale.

I personally love this mascara - gives a great cat eye! I didn't experience flaking either which is a bonus.

I like this mascara just as a mascara in general, but it does not live up to the claims it makes. 'Full lashes in one swipe' is not true, however when you do apply a few swipes or coats it does give your lashes a wonderful boost, the brush works well to fit my eye shape and coat every single lash with ease. I also wouldn't say it's '8x the volume', but it definitely enhances your lashes and lasts well without smudging. It's pretty similar to your average mascara but with a different brush which I personally like but others may not, so I would only recommend purchasing if the brush is something you like or want to try!
