Maybelline Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara

I wish I loved this mascara as I can see it's a 'Top Rated' product here on Beauty Review - but I certainly wouldn't place it in my top 5 favourite mascaras.

The brush/wand is a bit big for my liking. It's just not delicate enough to get into the corners of my eyes.

I've found other mascaras that make my lashes look longer and better separated than this one does.

The other thing that I didn't love about this one is that it's not easy to remove. Perhaps I'm being too fussy. It's great that it doesn't smudge or flake, but I also want to be able to easily remove my mascara with a micellar water, and this one takes a bit of work.

I’ve only worn this twice but can confidently say it’s a decent mascara. It lengthens but I’ve found I do need at least 2 coats. It’s not the most voluminous mascara but pretty nonetheless. I love dramatic lashes and while this didn’t blow me away it’s definitely one I’ll use again. I’ve found most non waterproof mascaras smudge on me and this did but very minimally and only because my eye was watering. The wand is slightly curved and easy to use and the packaging is very nice, solid and comfortable to hold during application. Maybelline really knows how to do mascara.

This mascara was definitely a game changer for me. It makes my lashes alot longer and also you can actually see I have lashes which is 100% THANK YOU

I scored this mascara from the vault, and I like it. Its not my all time favourite, as I like a longer looking lash, but this makes my eyelashes look thick and nicely curled. I quite like the think curved wand, and find it easy to use, but think I prefer the smaller ones that you can get a bit more precision with.

I found this easy to remove, which is a big bonus, and would probably be a reason I would repurchase alone. I also didnt have any smudging, and no wee dry bits falling off during the day!

Really nice, super black and nice and thickening. I love the wand as it’s not clump city. Doesn’t give me the lengthiest lashes but I would use for a bold eye look.

Was gifted this from my sister. Simple white tube with a pop of yellow on the label and the Mascara wand itself. The wand doesn't look anything groundbreaking. However, this performs really well. 2x coats is my preferred why to use this for best curl results. Lasts almost all through my work day. I can't complain.

Not a top fav, but definitely a decent product. Prefer other brands for mascaras, won't be repurchasing.

I picked this up in the vault along with another maybelline mascara as its one of the things I religiously wear and buy.. and as usual I do purchase maybelline.

I very rarely shop outside maybelline for mascaras as they are just so affordable and do the job for me.

This one lived up to the task.. It didn't smudge and lasted all day. It didnt break or snap my lashes.. and left them growing as per usual with no snapping or breaking off - unlike some other mascaras I have used.

I can have watery eyes and sensitive skin and this has not irritated me yet which is another bonus.

In terms of colour it is black as black and doesn't dry a lighter colour.

Nice consistency to apply and doesn't crumble which is great!

I can’t remember the last time I used a mascara this fantastic and I’ll be buying this again and again. From the first swipe it grabs all your lashes including your teeny tiny ones and coats them to look longer and thicker. Even just one coat is enough to look good but I always do two coats to build up. I don’t ever use mascara on my bottom lashes (I have a different eye shape) so I can’t comment on how this looks there but on the top lashes this opens up your eyes magnificently and yes it does curl up a bit. The wand is actually curved so just look before you apply which way you have it facing. A day can go by with very little smudging so it’s very long lasting.

I can remove this with a light makeup remover but just be wary that if it gets wet the colour will start to transfer off and you’ll get little black spots on your skin. Likewise if it hasn’t dried enough after applying and you’ve sneezed you’ll need to do a touch up.

I wish I’d remembered how great Maybelline mascaras are as I can now stop looking and just get this one forever!

I have always been Benefit Beyond Blackest Black Mascara lover! But after receiving this beauty in my last lot of goodies I am so in love with it x The wand is amazing does not feel like it is scratching your eye lid, evenly spread on the wand, brushes on the lashes so beautifully. No irritation too, which is a huge biggie for me as I have sensitive eyes. All in all I have repurchased this beauty Mascara with my beauty points through the Beauty Vault x so happy I could get another again x
