Maybelline The Colossal Mascara Review Summary

Maybelline The Colossal Mascara has a colossally big brush, say our reviewers, but that's where the "collosaleness" ends. This mascara does darken lashes but it claims to deliver nine times volume in one coat without clumps. Most reviewers agree that there aren't many clumps but nine times the volume? They think NOT! They get very little volume from Maybelline The Colossal Mascara. Buggheart says, " is not anywhere near nine times thicker, even when applying additional coats." And it smells - many reviewers agree the aroma is not pleasant. MMMbroccoli says it all, "it smells like bug spray" Although the mascara contains collagen, it just doesn't live up to its hype, say our disappointed beauty divas. That's OK. There are lots of mascaras that do live up to their hype and our reviewers tell us which ones those are!

So I went to CVS the other day and saw the buy one get one free sign so I picked up this maybelline the colossal mascara - I really love that it is in a bright yellow tube.  Even though it does not seem to be all that classy in terms of the color but it sure is easy to find in the black hole that is...

As usual, I didn't need to try a new mascara but I was standing in Rite Aid and the bright yellow packaging of Maybelline The Colossal Mascara caught my eye.  Then the buy one get one free sale sign caught it again so two of them ended up in my cart. I think I'm going to donate the free one to the...

I was tired of the mascara that my mom bought me, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went to Wal-Mart and was browsing the makeup aisles, when I saw this. The colorful tube caught my eye, and the fact that it was made by Maybelline was a perk, since I trusted the brand. I used this mascara the following day, and upon opening it, discovered that it stunk to high heaven. No kidding. It smells awful, and my friends pointed it out too. I don't exactly know how to describe the smell, but it was no pleasant. It was also pretty clumpy when I put it on, but maybe that's just because I put...

easy to apply yet it's really wet, so it's like you have to let it dry before closing your eye because then it's all under your eye. though lots of mascara is like that. but it does curl your lashes well.

This mascara preforms like 5 mascara's in one. It lenthens, darkens, lifts, curls and seperates your lashes to give you the most dazzeling eyelashes to frame any eye,

Being on a strict budget doesn't call for a lot of "extras" in my daily life, but I have to have mascara. My niece and I were willing to try the Maybelline Colossal Mascara as it came in a twin pack buy one get one free. So we parted our mascaras and went our separate ways. I am an avid makeup user and was a makeup artist for 10 years. Some things are worth buying because in the long run they end up being cheaper, others the inexpensive brand performs as well or better as a more luxurious brand cosmetic. After about a week I noticed flaking after I applied it. Then it was just about dried out and...

I hate Maybelline's Colossal mascara. I work at a drug store and from the minute it hit the shelves I was eye-ing it. It has fun, bright packaging that screams "buy me now!"                  I will say there are 2 good things that came from buying this mascara. 1) It only cost me like $5 with my discount and a coupon and 2) I got every single penny of that $5 back when I returned it! First of all, it smells like bug spray. It reeks! After i got done applying it I looked like a crack head. My eye lashes were all lumped together in groups of 5...crusted and smashed in all different...

I fell in love with Maybelline Colossal Mascara. I am the biggest mascara Junkie you would ever meet. I love to wear mascara that makes your lashes look fake without having to glue them on or worry about them falling of your lids while your eating in a restaraunt ( trust me its happened). I dont wear any make up except for mascara. For years I was buying VERY expensive mascara from the department stores to get a look that doesnt hold a flame to Maybelline The Colossal Mascara. Its one of those mascaras that you can put two or three coats on and your lashes dont clump the just look fuller and thicker!...

Maybelline The Colossal Mascara realy works it makes my eyes look brighter and bigger i recomend it to everyone For Best ResultsSweep brush upwards from root to tip to plump individual lashes and achieve dramatic volume. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. or you will get clumps  Repeat for lower lash line. Removes easily with soap and water or with makeup remover

This mascara is ok.  Not horrible not great.  The price is amazing and I love the way my eyes look when I apply it.  However, the smell is atrocious!  I have never smelled makup that was that bad! On top of that it does flake a bit.  Overall ok, if you can stand the smell.

The Maybelline Colossal Mascara brush is exactly that, colossal. The brush is so big that you have to be very careful not to touch yourself with it. Not good when you are trying to put it on in a rush.  It is not good for an all day look, it starts to flake within a couple of hours. Not to mention that it has a bad smell too.

eh.  I mean it was ok but nothing special.  every mascara promises things they can NEVER live up to.  Save your money and don't buy it.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara allows you to make your eyes stand out in one easy step.  I'm not into wearing a lot of makeup.  I use good cleansers and moisturizers, some lip gloss and that is usually it, until I started using Maybelline Colossal Mascara!  I love how easy this mascara applies.  It doesn't clump in your lashes.  You can apply to both eyes without double dipping the brush.  This is good for reduces bacteria into the mascara container.  The brush has many bristles which I find separate and define each lash.  I have thin long lashes which get lost beneath my glasses, but this... review »

It's taken me forever to find a mascara that I love, and this one is it! Maybelline is a brand I trust with my makeup, and this is by far the best mascara I've tried in ages. It  goes on wihtout clumps or blobs and washes off with simple soap and water. It has a really pleasant scent to it, almost like hyacinths, which might seem weird, but I like it.

I have trouble with mascara smudging under my eyes as the day goes on, but this one has never done that, even if I put it on my lower lashes! It doesn't run down your face if it gets wet and as long as you don't rub on them it won't even smudge when...
