I hate this mascara, I tried my friends and it just plain sucks. I usually don't have too many problems with mascaras since my lashes are naturally long, but this, ick, it just made them look dry and brittle. Oh and it made my eyelashes feel gross too.

Wow, is all I can really say about this product I am currently on my second one right in the glam black and I absoulutly love it. I have always been a Maybelline mascara fanatic, but this is by far there best mascara yet. I have naturally very short, thin eyelashes but never with this mascara, gives me the volume and length I need. I would forsure recomend this to a friend.

Goodbye to my HG Volumious mascara, hello Colossal. I got it in Glam Brown to wear with my new UD Get Baked palette and am finding that after using an eye lash curler and three coats, I'm good to go and no flaking or smuding! Can't wait to get this in black. I love the yellow and violet packaging. Try it!

i bought this mascara because i heard so many great things about it. i first used it and i liked how it separated my lashes and gave them length, but it lacked on volume. my lashes point downwards so maybe i was expecting too much. after a few hours my bf would always tell me that i had tiny black specs on my cheeks. also i would always complain to him that there was something in my eyes, i was itchy ! i came to realize that this mascara was making me want to fork my eyes out because it caused an uncomfortable itch. i'm sticking to other brands.

The formula itself is clumpy and awful. (And I bought a 2-for-1 pack so I didn't just buy one in a bad batch.) The packaging is fine, but the brush is lame. And this only lasted about 2 months before it got gross and I had to throw it out. IMO - Lash Blast is way better for a DS mascara.

I love this mascara-heard a few good things about it and I did buy the waterproof so I don't know about the regular formula but with curling my eyelashes with Shu Urema curler my lashes look fabolous-I would compare it to Lancome or better-really a steal for around $6!!! They look long and thick and it coats nicely so you can put as much as you want on. Love it will buy again!

I bought this mascara to see what the hype is all about. I like the old-school mascara wands (fluffy-looking bristles) better than plastic bristles, which is one reason I like this mascara. The formula is alright; it adds some length & volume but the formula has an awful scent! It clumps some of my lashes together so have an eyelash comd/old mascara wand handy. I wouldn't buy this again because of the smell, and I like trying different mascaras. continued >>

Oh please, there is nothing amazing about this product. It's average at best, & doesn't live up to any of its promises. What did I like most about it? The cute trendy pink & purple packaging...even if the gigantic wand did suck. xoxox continued >>

I didn't like this product at all. It was sooo clumpy. This was my first maybelline purchase. I bought it because I heard a lot of great things about their mascaras. After purchasing this, I will continue to use my Clinique mascaras. The smell is of a strong perfume, which bothered me because I could constantly smell it all day while this was on. I suppose it's decent at adding volume, but I needed length and this was not good at that. I do not suggest anyone purchase this mascara even if they are looking for something to add volume. There has to be something better out there than this!
