Product reviews...
I have mixed opinions on this product. The packaging is great, and the bright yellow grabs my attention and makes me feel like it would do a stellar job. The product packaging makes me think - wow, this mascara is dramatic and would make your lashes dark, long and epic. Which is exactly what this product does.
For me personally, I find this mascara a bit too dramatic, even for night time wear. But I tend to go out for dinners and occasionally cocktails with friends. For someone who enjoys the clubbing night life I think this would be the perfect mascara. It makes you lashes dark and dramatic, just what you need when hitting the clubs where you will be under limited lighting. This mascara gives you the sexy dramatic eye you want when hitting the down.
The colour is rich black and really makes you eye pop. It goes on super easily and give amazing coverage after only one swish on the wrist. The angle of the mascara brush ensures you reach each lash in the wrist motion and lengths them all. If you want a dramatic mascara then this is exactly the one you want. But if you want to have more control over the lashes you enhance and lengthen, a smaller, more compact mascara brush would be a better choice.
Overall, the name of the mascara really does tell you exactly what it does. It is the colossal mascara, and it will darken and lengthen you lashes to be "colossal", aka HUGE.
This is one of my favourite mascara's not only is the tube cool and funky it really works too! It covers ALL of your lashes and you don't have to re-do it again and again to get great looking lashes. My own lashes aren't very long but this product gives the illusion that they are long, and it lasts through the whole day.
As a busy Mum I'm not keen on products that you have to re apply a lot through out the day so this is perfect for me. I like that on nights out it doesn't smudge and it also doesn't clump like a lot of other Mascara's.
The brush was a little different to any brushes Id used before in a way that the bristles seem to jut out every which way but once I tried it out found it was great and got all my lashes in one go from the tips to the ends,. I didn't have to re cover more than once for a satisfying look.
It is a good price and often on special for around $12 and lasts a reasonable amount of time for someone who uses it once a day although there is a recommendation to replace it every three months that doesn't apply to m as it is usually gone before then.
I would definitely use this regularly and in fact do.
I am naturally blonde so without mascara it hardly looks as though I even have lashes. I have always used a black mascara as I love the big long black lashes look. My eye lashes themselves aren't super long but I find if you have a good mascara it certainly gives the illusion of long full eye lashes. That is why I love this mascara as it gives such good coverage.
When I first bought it I was a little sceptical the brush is sort of curved and the bristles of the brush poke out in all different directions so I was worried I was going to poke my self in the eye. I found the best way to hold the brush to avoid this was to hold it so that you are using the back of the brush and then using the point to get into the corners, I know how painful it is to get yourself in the eye with a mascara wand so I will go to all lengths to avoid it.
What I love about this is the brush gets right in to your lashes and coats everyone even the really fine ones in the corners of your eyes and it gives the illusion of added length. It also curls my lashes and the curl holds all day which is great and thickens the lashes so you get the look of really full lashes. The other good thing is it doesn't clump!
