I'm in love...this is the mascara I've been waiting my whole life for! As mentioned in a previous review I have been cursed with short, thin lashes and have searched for a mascara that will do the most with what little I've got. Maybelline Colossal is that mascara. It's light so you can add several layers and it doesn't weigh your lashes down. Plus it actually helps them curl, maybe it's the weirdly plastic brush with the tiny bristles. Whatever it is, this mascara actually makes people notice that yes, I do indeed have eyelashes. Maybelline, you're my hero;)

it makes my eye lashes look thicker ...

This mascara is awsome. I have always used Maybellene mascara and this has to be my favorite. It stays on all day and really plumps my lashes.

I love mascara, and was excited to try this! It certainly gave me the volume I was looking for, but what I didn't like about it was that it would make my lashes "crispy" toward the end of the day. It also seemed to make my lashes brittle, and after a few hours of wearing it I found that it "sheds".

Overall I love Maybelline, but wouldn't recommend this specific mascara to anyone. Stick with the original mascara in the pink tube!

I have a bad habit of trying every new mascara that comes out. Some times I have been extremely disappointed. But not with this one. This actually made my eyes pop. :) I will reccomend this to a friend.

absolutely adore this product. never had a problem with clumping. can do two applications to increase thickness of lashes without it looking like too much makeup. easy to use brush and handle is great size.

What it is: volumizing mascara, claims to build 9x the volume or natural lashes.

Where to get it: drugstores, target, walmart, everywhere Maybelline cosmetics are sold.

How much: $7-$9

What I like about it: this product never clumped and held on to my curl pretty well. It never made my lashes look stiff and it added a touch of length. it also did a pretty good job at volumizing my lashes.

What could be improved: althought it's hard to measure exactly what 9x the volume of my lashes is, I can pretty much tell that it didn't go near that amount. Definitely more than 2x the volume, 3x or 4x maybe... but not quite 9x.

Overall: I would recommend this over the other Volum' Express mascaras from Maybelline. If you're a fan of that line, then you definitely wanna check this out. However, I wouldn't necessarily be repurchasing this product, as my expectations weren't completely met.

I had been using Cover Girl mascara for a while, so I thought I'd give Maybelline a try. The yellow tube and packaging was definitely the thing that attracted me most. It was also a good size. When I got home, I was extremely excited to use it, but when I opened it, there was this weird odor. It smelled like pollen. That was a big turn off for me. The volume was great though. My lashes seemed thicker. It's not exactly smudge proof. It had caused me dark eyes a couple times, but I think it you keep your hands away from it, it will keep from smudging. To be completely honest though, if I were to buy another mascara right now, I would definitely try a different one. After a while, it doesn't seem to do the trick anymore. Just normal volume. No more colossal.

THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT AND EASY TO APPLY FOR BUSY MOMS. IT GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THEMSELVES.

This was my HG mascara, until i found Lash Extentions, but thats a different review. It's clumpy on me, and i HATE clumpy. the stopper part that gets off extra mascara doesn't work, its stuck to the top of the brush. Cute, and Bright packaging tho. I also love how the color is a very dark black.
