    This mascara is clump free. You can apply it as many times as you want without clumping. It also made my lashes longer but it took a couple strokes to make them look thick.

    This mascara really makes your eyelashes thick and full. But for some reason it smells alittle funky... almost chemically. It works but beware of the odour.

    The first time you use a mascara you won't get the results that you would on the second try. The brush needs a few pumps (not intentional pumps though) to get the product entirely and evenly coated. So, after you use the product a few times, you'll notice that it goes on a lot more dramatically.

    Keep in mind, If you don't have a lot of lashes, you won't see much of a change. You usually need a good base of plenty of lashes (not necessarily thick) to get the dramatic look - and that's something they never mention in the commercials. No matter how much you put on, if you only have a few lashes, you won't get the right results. Aim for false lashes if this is your situation. We can't expect mascara alone to work miracles ;-)

    I bought this mascara on sale, I was out of my usual brand and saw the display. I have been very impressed with the way it adds length, color, and thickness without weighing down my lashes. A great product at a great price.

    I liked the size of the brush, the color, and packaging.
    Although I didn't see a waterproof formula.
    It did legnthen my lashes but I also felt like rather than add more volume it just separated all my lashes more than I would have liked.

    This is an excellent product, and I love the color! It does a good job in lengthening my lashes and keeping them separate. It doesn't flake, which is a real plus for me.

    I was very impressed with this mascara - it lengthened, thickened, and curled my lashes even without a lash curler, and i have superstraight lashes.
    The only cons i noticed were minor clumping and fat handle - i have small hands, and the fat plastic handle made applying mascara less comfortable compared to other slimmer wand handles.

    other than that, i'm very impressed with this product! would definitely purchase again!

    this is one of my new favorite mascaras. I find that when your applying it, it's not as tedious as some mascaras can be. it's quick to apply due to the brush you use, it's very versatile and gets every lash. Another problem i ususally find with mascara is that when i'm appplying i sometimes get it all over my eyelid, but i didn't have this problem with colassal. Also, i really like how natural my lashes feel after i apply the mascara. It doesn't make my lashes feel hard and chunky, they are very soft and natural.
    i would recomend this product to anyone, it's a nice casual wear mascara, but can also be used for those glam up nights :)

    When I first got the package in the mail I was so excited! The thing I really love about this Mascara is the packaging... it's amazing!
    I love the yellow, it really stands out to me and looks the product look unique... even my boyfriend said it looked really futuristic!
    When I finally got to use the product I thought it was pretty nice. I'm one of the types of girls who doesn't need a lot of mascara to make my eyelashes look noticeably bigger but I think the mascara did a pretty good job.
    Of course, it's not as good as some of Maybeline's previous mascaras such as the XXL Curl Power, which is my favorite mascara for a wild look.
    However, I think this mascara is a good "daytime" look. I have used it frequently since it arrived in the mail during the day for a fresh look.

    This is my own little additional score for it:
    Volume: 7/10. I didn't see anything particularly special about the volume, certainly not 9X more volume like it boasts on the package.
    Length: 8/10. It works pretty well with length, I was happy with that.
    Wearability: 6/10. Again, nothing special. It gives me coon eyes sometimes but it lasts for awhile. It has a strong, bad smell to it. :(
    No Clumps: 10/10. I think this mascara is really great because it does not clump! I have never had a problem with it so far.
    Packaging: 10/10. It looks great!

    This is one of the better mascaras I've tried. Granted, Maybelline has been a fabulous brand for me, but this really made my lashes look thick, full of life and absolutely wonderful!!!!

    Well worth a try, it's no DiorShow, but it doesn't cost $18, and for the quality price, you can't beat it.
