The waterproof version of this product is truly waterproof. You can't wash it off with just soap and water, either. I have to use an oil-based eye-makeup remover. I found that Palmer's bran vitamin E moisturizing oil works fabulously to remove this mascara with ease. I don't contribute to wrinkles by rubbing at my eyes with a acidic or harsh makeup remover. Palmers oil is the best. Just wet a wash cloth with hot water after you take off your make up with Palmers oil, and wipe your eyes to remove excess oil. It is actually good for wrinkles around your eyes to use a Vit E oil to remove makeup. It doesn't dry out your skin.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.Mamabear47· 9 years agoBad strong chemical smell
I just bought this product the other day, thought I would try this one out. When opening the tube for the first time it had a very strong smell, applied it as directed, the sell did not go away after my lashes dried, and it was making my eyes tear. As I wore it all day I could smell that chemical smell still. I even had a friend smell my lashes and she said wow that is awful smelling! And to be honest I really don't think it did anything to inhance my lashes. I have been a loyal customer of your products for years and normally I would use the mega plush express formula and I like it. I would not recommend this product to anyone and I really think you missed the mark on this on.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.Sandy123· 13 years agoPitiful product
This has to be the worst Maybelline product I have ever bought. Usually I love all Maybelline but this is a huge disappointment. It is easy to apply and looks good on HOWEVER trying to get it off is another matter. Here are the steps I must take to get Colossal Volume mascarra off: Wash face - look like raccoon! Use make-up remover - have black flacks all over face. Use make-up remover again - most flakes gone. Switch to another make-up remover - still some residue. Use second remover a second time - mostly gone. For the next hour or so - put up with flakes falling into eyes. Good Grief! Never again.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3 out of 5 stars.makeupbritviews· 8 years agoNot bad but not the best either especially compared to other Maybelline Mascara's which I love and are some of my favorites. This one does give my lashes alot of volume and makes them look thicker but I don't get the length and separation that I want. The wand is too big and the formula makes it so it's not really buildable because it starts getting too thick, clumpy and your lashes start sticking together. I also noticed if you're not careful before it dries down, it will transfer and it also flakes throughout the day. If you have this, for the sake of using it I would use as a quick layer to coat your lashes for falsies but Maybelline makes so many other great Mascara's to wear alone.

I love this mascara. I use the cat eyes because I love the curved application brush. The reason I only gave it four stars is because the last two that I have bought the applicator has snapped in two and I am not able to use it anymore. The last one snapped about three weeks after you buying it and the one that snapped today, I have not even had for one week. Unfortunately, I don’t think I still have the receipt to be able to return it and I’m kind of afraid to buy a new one now since it’s happened to me two times in a row! It’s a huge bummer because it’s the best mascara I’ve found in a long time

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.kelly57214· 8 years agoLove this stuff. It's at it's best when first opened and almost empty. After the beginning, I have trouble with it taking to much product out, which makes a mess to clean the brush or forever. But I recommend it because I've tried to keep my lashes curled all day for 20 years now and this is the best I've worked with. Curl the lashes for 10 seconds, fan them with your finger, curl the lashes again for 10 seconds, and then a light coat of this stuff acts like jet black hairspray. Love it. If I'm feeling bold, I'll double layer after it dries - but I have to remove almost all the product to do that. So all in all, an amazing product if the suction cup removed more product so I didn't have to.

This has been my ‘go to’ mascara for a few years. I’ve tried them all, expensive (high end brands) and inexpensive (drugstore brands), and this one was always my favorite. BUT, something changed and it’s now so dry and flaky :( I thought I might’ve bought a bad tube, but after MANY purchases (because basically I’ve been in denial that this product is no longer what it used to be, and I’ve been hoping that just maybe it was me or a bad tube....or five bad tubes), I am convinced the formula has changed, and I hate it! Please bring back the old formula! ‘Why fix it if it wasn’t broke?’...

Consumer Care Center· 5 years agoIt is possible that minor changes have been made in the formula of a product; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable at all. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always the accurate listing.

It makes your eyelashes really long and up but it’s impossible to get off. Is there like glue in this cause you literally can’t get it off. I got it on my eyelid and usually with a cotton swab and saliva u can just wipe the mascara off this one it didn’t come off I used makeup remover and it still didn’t come off!!! It’s terrible do not buy this mascara. I’m trying to get it off right now and it’s not coming off I’m scrubbing!!!!

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.victoriavgtrz· 8 years agoThis was a no for me. I purchased it once for a change, because I usually go with the Maybelline Volum' Express® The Falsies Flared® Waterproof Mascara (or whashable) but I was disappointed with this product. I don't like the formula since is creamy but liquid-ish. Every time that I used to apply it, I had to wait a couple minutes for it to dry. It's too clumpy. And indeed, the final look is very voluminous and colossal but not in a good way. Plus, it comes out so easily. I mean, I know is washable, but is way too washable. This was just a no for me.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4 out of 5 stars.lillgirly· 8 years agoMaybelline colossal mascara is perfect for volumizing and separating lashes. The good thing about this mascara is it doesn't clump the lashes and you get good volume without spidery lashes look unless you go for second coat without first drying plus it does hold the curl for very long. On the other hand it doesn't add much length to your lashes. So if you are looking for natural looking volume this can work for you. The wand bristles are thick which work for you. The wand bristles are good for upper lashes but not for lower it can poke your eye.

I remember using this mascara when I was in high school and my eyelashes were amazing, I am now 26. And have worked for a plethora of different cosmetic companies, and have really tried all there is to try out there. I bought this on a whim the other day, and am in love again. BUT! the tube i actually love the very most was the Volum' Express Turbo (in the black tube, without the red writing). That one was just the BEST. I have looked everywhere online to see if I can find it, but sadly cannot. Will you ever bring that one back Maybelline?

Just now trying this mascarra, & I'm Hooked! It does exactly what it says! As soon as I applied I seen immediate results. I had a different mascara one the other eye, & the difference was great! The weather was 90° & I didn't experience any flaking, or irritation. The only thing that is a minor con, is I wish they had a darker black. I purchased glam black (darkest black store had). I usually go for a richer black color, but I will take what I can get. No clumps. Separation, volume, & lengthening instantly. Also held curl. #winning

I've used other Maybelline mascaras before, but this one WOW! I only ever use one coat of mascara and people thought I had put on fake lashes. The volume is amazing! I also have not noticed it flake on bit. I wear contacts so I get the washable kind and I feel like unless you rub your eyes like crazy (which who would do that with makeup on...) your lashes will stay perfect all day like mine have. I'm very happy with this product. I actually only came on the Maybelline website to say so. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really impressed with this mini yellow tube of Colossal Black Maybelline mascara. The first thing I noticed was that it had a really pleasant light floral rose scent. The second thing I loved about this mascara was the brush. It really seperated my lashes and made them look great without clumps. The black color was perfect for my sparse, thin lashes. I can't wait to buy a bigger tube. I will carry the mini in my purse because it's such a convenient size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this product for the past week now and it is hands down the best mascara that exists. It stays on all day and never needs to be re-applied. The brush is silicone/plastic/rubber which I think is what truly sets this apart. The mascara NEVER and I mean NEVER gets clumpy. The brush separates my lashes and evenly coats each one to make them look FULL and long. This is my go to brand now. I will be buying a couple to have on hand.

I love how its so light, and not to mention it is soo easy to wash off! I cant stand when some mascaras are so waxy they stick to your face right after you wash it, but not this one. It comes right off with no hassel. This is the only mascara I buy and I will continue to buy it as long as its on the shelves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mascara did a good job at defining my lashes and giving me volume. It gave me some length. It worked well at staying on all day, especially during this hot Arizona heat. I had no smears and it was not clumpy. It was very easy to apply. I liked the way the package felt and the brush felt as I applied it to my lashes. I just wish it gave my lashes a little more length but my lashes are very short like me! Otherwise a great mascara.

I use it on my top and bottom lashes and it makes them look so voluminous and wonderful. It is inexpensive and can be found in many drug stores so it is easily found. I would definitely recommend this mascara because it does the job that it is supposed to do, is cheap and makes your lashes look long and thick.

I recently purchased two new tubes of this mascara and it’s been a favorite for years. But now it flakes, doesn’t give any length or volume (yes I’m using it correctly), and leaves a weird waxy build up on my lashes. It took me forever to try and get this stuff off, even with the maybelline oil free makeup remover.
Please bring back the old formula, stop trying to make ‘minor changes’ to products that were perfectly fine before.

Its super easy to apply; the mascara itself is made very thin, but the longer it’s open, the more the product thickens and, in my opinion, is better able to be used. This mascara is probably in my top 3, was purchased at a Five Below for a very reasonable price, and if you get the waterproof, be sure to get makeup wipes! Because it lasts for nearly 2 days without. Would recommend!

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4 out of 5 stars.tinytina· 8 years agoI love this mascara! It's super inexpensive and always goes on my lashes smoothly. It usually lasts me a long time and does not clump up my lashes. It's great for adding extra length and thickening up the appearance of your eyelashes. I always have this in my makeup bag, whether I am using it alone or in combination with another mascara. It also helps that it is super cheap and you can literally find it anywhere

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.Princesa21· 5 years agoNot the same anymore :(
I’ve been using this mascara for years now and loved it. It used to make my lashes look full, long and beautiful. Always used to get compliments and asked what mascara I was wearing. People would even ask if they were extensions. Since the tube changed I feel this mascara is not the same. My lashes are now clumpy, and it doesn’t give me as much length either. Loved the old formula they need to bring it back.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.cgrimm21· 9 years agoSomehow I always manage to get more on my skin...
I've always used Rocket Volum' but as I couldn't find it in Mexico, I bought this one.
I don't like that the brush has less stiff bristles, which make it more difficult to apply so I end up with plenty on my eyelids. The bristles also stick together which makes for clumpy application. I also find that at the end of the day, most of the mascara is gone... I definitely wouldn't buy this specific item again.Recommends this product✘ NoOriginally posted on maybelline.com-

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this and I loved the product. I have really thin short lashes and this mascara definitely built volume. In only 1 coat there is a major difference. It is very waterproof and stays on. The only drawback is it takes a little while to dry which can make it hard to build up multiple layers without smudging. I would definitely reccomend this mascara. Amazing volume for a good price.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.hema· 7 years agoThis Maybelline colossal mascara comes in two variants-one is waterproof and the other washable, so you can choose accordingly. It adds volume to your lashes and makes them appear fuller without clumping even when you apply 2-3 coats. It opens up your eyes and makes them appear bigger too. The bristle of the wand make the application easy and the consistency is also good i.e. neither too runny nor thick.

I've been using this mascara for years, it was my absolute favorite. Why did you change the formula? It's absolutely horrible now. Flaky, doesn't last thru the day, and it clumps. I'm not sure why companies do this to super popular products. You try and fix something that isn't broken- thanks how you lose loyal customers. Please bring back the old formula. Until then, I'll be buying a different brand.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 1 out of 5 stars.Jo Entombed· 2 years agoit used to be my favourite mascara
I don't know what has happened in last year, but this product is simply not the same as it was. At first, I thought I have bought an expired one, but no, different shops, same result. Very little effect, you need to put layers of product to make it look decent and the final result is very dissapointing. The colossal used to be my number 1 mascara, but unfortunately, I am not going to buy it anymore.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to apply, really adds volume. and separates eyelashes well. I like that there are no lumps. Still, there is something to compare with. The smell does not corrode the eyes. Lasts a long time, does not crumble. Definitely the best mascara. Perhaps the only one for me. Although perhaps the tube shape itself and the yellow color look simple, but the product itself does not become worse from this.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4 out of 5 stars.theinkriminator· 8 years agoI don't wear makeup every day, but this is the mascara I have used. It does what I need it to, making my lashes more distinct, bringing out the brightness of my eyes. One thing I don't particularly like is that when I put it on, it takes a bit to dry, so if I blink too soon after putting it on, it gets on my lower lids and I have to touch up my makeup. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with this product.

…★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4 out of 5 stars.modelmommy01· 8 years agoI love maybelline because I feel like the products are pretty great quality but super affordable! This is a good mascara but I just wasn’t a fan of the brush and how big it was! I also prefer my bristles to be closer together but overall this product was great! It didn’t leave my lashes clumpy or spidery and I also liked that it didn’t leave my bottom lash line looking all dark after applying!!!
