    affordable and it works

    good product , affordable but it last for 3-4 hours only . don’t apply too much on lashes otherwise it sticks to lashes when it dries . still a good product .

    I have long eyelashes and a lot of them, and i found this formula to be way too thick and the brush is not good at separating each lash. It goes on clumpy and the brush bristles are too dense. If you are going to use this make sure to curl your eyelashes first and invest in a white or clear primer. It seems it would be good at adding volume, but i find it hardly looks like I'm wearing anything, except that my lashes are clumped together. I probably won't use this again.

    This type of mascara is good for people with tons of lashes and average length because it will give you the falsies effect but will not clump them up (unless you put too many layers). I dont like the plastic type wands as they dont do justice to my lashes (I have a lot of lashes but they have a average-long length). With that type of lashes, I look for natural bristles wands because they separate my lashes really well :)

    The only downfall of this mascara is that is has some ''fallout'' through out the day. If this is something that would bother you then dont get it as it will annoy you. But if you are like me and you dont mine wiping it of now and then, then try this mascara ! It's only about 5$ anyway !

    this is the mascara that every woman has to wear, It is incredible, your lashes look bigger, with a defined color, it is waterproof, brush application is simply incredible. I recommend it.

    I just bought this mascara on sale at Shoppers. I initially did not have very high hopes for this mascara because when I opened the tube the formula was kind of thick and looked a bit dry and clumpy. But it hasn't been too bad. It adds quite a bit on length and a fair amount of volume. It is a bit of a dry formula but it doesn't make the lashes clump together if you run an eyelash brush through them right after applying this mascara. Not perfect but not bad either.

    I absolutely love this mascara ,I was lucky to get it on sale for $5,it is amazing ,it really fans out my lashes and makes them appear fuller ,it certainly gives my eyes a bold,dramatic look,it applies evenly and doesn't seem to smudge,I don't have to do touch ups and I think the packaging is eye catching ,I noticed it in the store right away and the best part is that it's waterproof ,so no worries about getting caught in the rain.I would definitely recommend this product to everyone

    WORST mascara I have ever tried. I saw it on clearance for $2.99 at my local drugstore and that should have clued me in on how bad this is. I was intrigued by the end of the brush because I thought it would be good for getting the very end of my lashes as I didn't purchase it intending to make my lashes a "sexy mess." But oh man was it bad. It didn't give any length, fullness, nothing. It barely looked like any mascara got on my lashes. Just terrible, do not recommend at all.

    I bought this mascara instead of my usual because of a sale and was extremely impressed!!
    The formula held my curl, gave great definition and volume, and the curved tip on the brush aided in reaching the corners of my eyes.

    The chaotic formula has what Maybelline calls a “teaser brush” which is basically a straight bushier brush that has a slight curve at the head. This brush is supposed to plump and “disorganize” lashes into a “sexy mess”. Umm ok? It applies pretty straight forward to me. The first time I used it I did get a little mascara on my upper lash line which I needed to tidy up with my trust Missha The Style Eye Makeup Speedy Remover Stick. But honestly, the several times after that I used it I never had an issue so maybe blame that little mess on shaky hands. There’s actually nothing chaotic or disorganized going on with my lashes as I sweep this one. It adds a little but of volume to my lashes but not a tone o length. It doesn’t clump up or create a gooey messy the way L’Oreal’s Miss Manga Rock does (I expected the formulas to act in similar ways but Miss Manga Rock is definitely the messy of the two). It’s pretty straight forward application that adds a little volume but nothing else dramatic to my lashes. The formula is waterproof but does easily remove with an oil based eye makeup remover at the end of the day. My lashes are a little stiff after application but nothing too crazy. It does keep curl fairly well but again I’m not seeing dramatic results with this especially considering the marketing is all about crazy, hot mess looking lashes. I had no issues with smudging or smearing on my dry eyes nor did the mascara flake.
    Shrug…
    Chaotic? Naaa. This one comes in like a lion across marketing but applies like a complete lamb. I wouldn’t say Maybelline Volum’ Express the Colossal Chaotic Lash did very much for my lashes sadly. If you want the gooey, spidery clumpy lash look you might want to try Miss Manga Rock instead as that’s all about messy! But the Colossal Chatoic Lash formula doesn’t relieved much of anything.
