Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I thought I would give this mascara a go after reading all the reviews and hearing good things about it.I am a regular user of Maybelline mascaras so I was excited to try this one but I felt it wasn't that great for when it came to adding volume and length to my thin lashes.I had to appy about 3 or 4 coats to make this work and then my eyelashes stuck together so then I had to separate them all the while pulling eyelashes out :( I did find the mascara stayed put and didn't run or cause me panda eyes and the black colour did stand out.I think it would depend on how thick or long your eyelashes are on how well this works for you as not everyone has the same type of eyelashes. Overall it is an ok mascara and very affordable,clump free and run free but I just felt it wasn't for me so off I go to find my "holy grail" mascara again.

I really like this mascara. It is one i regularly purchase as it is affordable and does the job well. It has a larger brush tip which can make applying the formula to the bottom lashes a bit messy. But it does create thick black lashes. But don't apply too many coats as it will clump the lashes easily.

I purchased this because of all the good reviews on here. It was on special for $21 at the warehouse which I think is quite expensive but I really wanted to try it out. Its ok, not bad, not amazing, its really good at coating lashes without clumping lashes, so my lashes look clean and separated. Not that great at lengthening lashes, hence 4 stars. I'm looking for a mascara that gives more length. But this mascara did make my eyes look more awake,clean and tidy if that makes sense. This mascara would be amazing if I naturally had long lashes.

I liked this product initially because it gave me lashes lots of definition and length but I used it with another mascara to plump up the volume. I did love how easy it was to apply and the wide wand made getting every lash simple. I found this product to be good for everyday but did tend to run a bit!

I have long but thin lashes, so I like mascaras that can add as much definition and volume as possible without looking clumpy. I thought this would be the perfect mascara to do just that, seeing as it boasts 9x your natural lash volume instantly. To be fair, this mascara does exactly what it says it will; add a huge amount of volume! However, this volume comes at the expense of definition. This is a very thick mascara that made my lashes clump together rather than look thicker and stand out. The result is eyelashes that look very obviously coated in mascara in a way that slightly resembles spider's legs. Although this mascara didn't give me the look I was hoping for, everyone's eyelashes are different so I am sure it would work better for someone with slightly thicker eyelashes than mine so the clumping is less obvious.
