Maybelline Volum' Express the Colossal Review

I love maybelline mascaras, and the formula of this one is amazing. But I don't like the brush. It is big and clumpy and it gets product all over your lids. Although, now that I have hardly any product left in it- it is amazing at separating my lashes and I always use it as a base for my mascara!!

First impressions were cool, pretty stoked with price and the packaging looked funky.. First use was awesome and I thought wow my lashes look wicked! However as time has gone on ive found the mascara to be clumpy and leaves my eye lashes sticking together. I cant stand it when the product makes a mess around the top of the container and have noticed this is starting to do that. Overall the mascara does give wow factor and stays on for long periods of time but the clumpy lash feel isn't the most comfortable feeling. I feel that the brush could do with been smaller as it is very very large and bulky compared to other mascaras I have used in the past. I would be interested to try some of the other range of Maybelline mascaras that is out there

First off, the brush on this is really really good, especially for long lashes and big eyes like mine. It picks them all up, has enough bristles that you can easily wiggle it at your lashline, and provides enough product on the wand. If you have shorter lashes and/or smaller eyes, I can imagine the size of the wand would be a bit trickier to use! I prefer the non-waterproof formula over the waterproof formula as it's easier to use and much much easier to get off.

This mascara is nice and thick, it makes my eyelashes longer and has great staying power and good wear throughout the day, the only lyrics downside to this is the fact that it is quite cluggy and makes my eyelashes stick together

This is the first Mascara my mum ever bought me! I remember she wanted to buy me a bright and colourful one. Ever since then I have always used Maybelline mascaras and only recently tried a covergirl one. It was a lot better than the cheap one I got from a magazine! It made my lashes dark and thick. It did give them so,e good length too, but not too long which is good. It has a nice brush which makes application easier. All round a great mascara.

I absolutely loved this product and the result. Full thick lashes, no clumping. Only reason I stopped using it was that the company tested on animals.

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.
