Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I grabbed this as somethin different but i felt it made my eyelashes to thick, would recommend it if you love thick long eyelashes

I love this mascara, It made my lashes so plump which I loved! I have quite fair and thin lashes and this has made such a difference, this is so much better than some of the other mascaras I have tried before

The mascara doesnt seem to clump too much, although I do find putting the mascara casing under the hot water tap helps to smooth the mascara out and make it easier to apply.

Easy to apply, nice and smooth, no clumps and I find it lasts ages too! Compact enough to fit in your purse, or even your pocket for later application :)

Always have a tube of this mascara in my beauty kit. Have tried other expensive brands but always turn back to this. Mascara only lasts a month or so before you should renew it, so I just cant justify spending lots of cash. This mascara is affordable and does the same if not better job than more expensive designer brands. Keeps my lashes thick and smudge or smear.

I have tried numbers of mascaras as I have little short eyelashes which point down. This is the best mascara I've brought. It doesnt clog, you can put on layers upon layers. It is very dark and separates my lashes nicely. It actually makes them look long. I know tons of people who use this and love it/

Fantastic mascara that gives me thick dark lashes, this is my holy grail product! When you first open the mascara it can be a little runny but after the first few uses it dries out a little making it just perfect!

This mascara was on sale at Kmart and I decided to get it..  Overall, the Maybelline Volum' Express The Colossal isn't a bad mascara. It doesn't give colossal volume as the name implies but rather, it gives decent volume and length. It can get clumpy if you get carried away so definitely go easy on the application. 

I had concerns about the large wand but it's actually okay and I don't end up with mascara on my lids. I still like to use a lengthening mascara (L'Oreal Butterfly is my current fave) to finish as I like va va voom lashes. 

How does it hold up after a long day?  I do get some smudging after a long day (but get this with most mascaras and I can't use waterproof versions) and wee bit of flaking.

Does it remove easily with regular eye makeup remover?  Yes, but I still need to get rid of the smudges around my eyes with a Q-tip after using a cotton pad to remove my eye makeup. 

Is there a fragrance?  There is a slight fragrance which seems to common with Maybelline mascaras but this one is rather faint (for me anyways) and it doesn't irritate my eyes. (unlike L'Oreal's Million Lashes) 

Would I repurchase? Yes, if it were on sale and I needed a new mascara. Otherwise, I'd still get the L'Oreal Voluminous carbon black and butterfly

I picked this Mascara up in a rush after dropping the collection cosmetics mascara I actually wanted and its smashing on the ground. I was in a hurry so didn't realise I had picked up the brown shade which was very disappointing.

I have been using this mascara for over a month now and have not been blown away by it. At first, it went on well, added volume and seemed to be a good quality mascara but I am finding it has already gone off a bit, its way stickier and makes my lashes clump together.

The brown shade isn't as bad as I initially thought it would be. its good for those days when you don't want super dramatic lashes but its still pretty dark. i don't mind the packaging either, the bright yellow is very cheery and its easy to open and close.

The mascara comb isn't the type I Like. It is quite bulky so I find it very hard to get into the roots and outside lashes. It also makes lower lash application very difficult.

I probably wouldn't repurchase this again both because of the formula and because the comb was not sleek enough for my liking.

This is my favourite cheap mascara. I have the washable version in blackest black. It reminds me of the Covergirl Lash Blast but with a fibre brush rather than a silicone brush.

This mascara is dark, holds a curl, adds incredible length and volume. It doesn't flake on me and lasts all day long. It washes off well with makeup remover or a wet flannel.

Great price and just as good as other mascaras I've tried, like DiorShow and MUFE Smokey Lash.
