Love , love , LOVE this product! Im actually wearing it right now. It doesn't clump at all and is easy to apply. Because the brush is big, when you take it out of the tube the excess mascara comes off!
My all time face mascara! I've re purchased this mascara 4 times already, and don't think id be switching over to another brand because it's just that great.. It gives me length and volume, and dries to a smokey kohl look! Whenever I use this, people often ask if I have falsies on, that's how amaze this mascara is, and completely affordable!
I am currently using this mascara and there are pros and cons: Pros - 1. the mascara is a deep black in the sun which gives that nice 'dark' look 2. It does not clump my lashes which is great.. Cons - 1. It does not give me the volume I thought I would get which is a bummer because it's primarily for volume. Overall an okay product. I still prefer Essence
I've bought this three times over! As a contact lens wearer i cannot afford to play around too much with eye make up lest i feel like sporting a red eye look! I have naturally long lashes and this giant brush does me justice! One sweep root to tip for lush long lasting thick kohl appearing smoky eyed look! Gorgeous!

I have naturally long lashes so my choice of mascara is one that adds volume. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara does not disappoint. I love the vibrant packaging and the big brush applicator which makes the application easy. There is no clumping. My favourite mascara.
Short, stocky lashes are officially a thing of the past thanks to Maybelline cosmetics and their newest innovation, Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara, the first mascara with Khol Pigments, the same matte pigments used in smoky eye shadows, for colossal lashes and seriously smoky eyes!
Just by looking at this bright yellow tube of mascara, you will definitely want to try it out. I, for one, was very excited to try it out, especially after seeing the mega brush applicator. Best mascara applicator by far! It made applying the mascara a breeze, and it separated each lash perfectly without any clumps. You’ll be left with intense black, plump lashes with serious colossal volume that lasts all day long!
I find that most mascara’s tend to make your lashes look fake or even scary looking. Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara didn’t do this at all. It accentuated my lashes in a natural and sexy way, and made my lashes look healthy.
So, if you’re looking for a mascara that sticks to its word of giving you colossal volume, Maybelline the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara would be your go-to makeup product.
After reading about this product on the COSMO website, I was so super excited to try it out, I really couldn't wait, I spend about two weeks going around from store to store, mall to mall looking for this mascara but unfortunately nobody heard about it and no stores had the product as yet. While browsing around in Dis-Chem, I saw this product, without caring about anything else, I rushed to the cashier and purchased this product.
The mascara comes in a bright yellow mascara tube while the packaging has a black and yellow cardboard backing with information about the product and the front part is clear so you can view the product. What was really attractive about this mascara is that it had black flames on the lid of the mascara which I really liked on the product because it was attractive against the yellow tube.
When I opened the tube I was breathless, the brush was a mega brush which was spaced perfectly to help achieve a perfect black kohl effect. When I touched the brush (highly messy, don't try it at home) it had soft bristles which were highly flexible to give you the perfect look.
When I applied the mascara all I needed was one coat and I was in heaven! The mascara was amazing, it made my lashes look longer and more darker and enhanced my smokey eye look by a million times. I was really impressed because my lashes didn't look fake at all, it gave my lashes a thin yet highly effective coat and there was no clumping so there was no need for a lash brush!
I was also really happy to know this product didn't irritate my sensitive eyes or make my eyes itch or burn, it was also perfect for when I was using contact lens so it's perfect for people who have sensitive eyes and are contact lens users. I was really taken away by this product, however the only thing that let me down was this product wasn't waterproof, and when I went to bath, I had forgotten to remove my eye make up, giving me a horrible panda eyes effect, but lucky I was at home and nobody had seen that.
PRO's and CON's
PRO's
You can effortlessly achieve a smokey eye look
There is no clumping of lashes
You can get amazing lashes with one coat of this mascara
The product is easy to remove (just pretend we don't know about the panda eyes if you don't remove it before you bath)
The mascara enhances the look of lashes without giving them a fake look
CON's
The mascara has a horrible chemical smell, it can be ignored but I just don't like it
The product is a bit expensive
It isn't available everywhere as yet
The product is not waterproof : CAUTION! Don't wear to the beach or pool!
I would recommend you give this this amazing mascara a try, it retails at R114, which is expensive but worth it for a mascara that gives lashes such colour and definition, plus it can help you achieve a flawless smokey eye look, with no effort at all.
I have very long eyelashes and when I used this product it didnt dry my lashes quick enough, so it smudged on my eye lid. I have always had this problem as my eyelashes are really long. I do like the brush and how dark it makes my eye lashes. Its just a bit too runny for me, I need something that drys much faster.
I have short eye lashes and have always struggles in finding a good mascara. This product is great, it extended my lashes and gave them a natural longer lasting look. Just one downfall, you can't apply to many layers as it makes your lashes very bulky. But otherwise, a good product
I am a huge fan of Maybelline Mascara, but this product is the best by far! It glides on effortlessly and really defines each lash. It just brightens up my eyes. Really a great product as it does not clump. Love it!
Is it me, or do Maybelline just make the best mascaras?
This one promises colossal volume in one coat. And they deliver on their promise!
I use the Glam Black colour and it packs a punch!
Reasonable price too as far as mascaras go, and easily removable at the end of the day.
