Maybelline The Colossal - Mascara - Black

Used this a few times, it clumped up my lashes and weighed them down. Couldn't curl them without them going stiff and looking all weird. Personally wouldn't recommend.

For a mascara described as “the colossal” I expected it to live up to its name and description. The description says “instant big volume, no clumps, mega volume”. I have the 100% black one for EXTRA oomph, and it provides little to no volume (and barely any lift but it’s not advertised that way anyway). It just darkens my eyelashes. It’s great for more soft, natural look for sure, but I really expected “colossal” eyelashes from it. In the mascara’s defence, my friend that recommended me this one said it works for her really well and it’s her go to. I tried applying more than once and it started adding more volume, as shown in the picture (I’m not a fan of applying mascara more than once though, plus it says “instant”). And one good thing that it says it does is no clumps, and I totally agree. It’s kept my eyelashes very clean every time I’ve applied it. Note the picture is after applying it more than once! It does provide a nicer effect that way.
