Like many girls, you probably want a mascara that gives your lashes that extra pop but doesn't call for a long, careful application process. As you explore the options, you stop at this eye-catching yellow tube - Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Colossal Washable Mascara. Is it any good? Will it make your lashes long and defined?



Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Colossal Washable Mascara, $7.77, has a patented collagen-enriched formula with a mega-brush for perfect volume and precise application. The brush is a little larger than the typical mascara brush, with longer bristles. Some users really like this and some don't. One reviewer explained that she liked the mascara but used a different brush, while another wrote about how the mascara was average, but she used the brush with different mascaras. Most users liked both.

Different Varieties for Different Needs
This mascara is available in two types: waterproof and washable. You can choose which one better suits your needs. The waterproof variety can be difficult to remove without the right cleanser; the washable one seems to be more popular.

For Best Effect, Use This Way
To use it, you simply take the mega-brush, coated with mascara, and brush it from the roots of your lashes to the tips. You don't need a second coat for daily use, though some people do want that extra emphasis for occasions such as going out in the evening or to really plump up fine or thin eyelashes. If you do want a second coat, wait about 10 seconds, and then apply it. This allows the mascara to set slightly without drying completely. Do not immediately add a second coat as that can cause clumping. If you wait too long, however, trying to add a second coat to dry mascara can make it flake.

Reviews
The reviews from people who use this Maybelline product overall express great happiness with this mascara.

One user describes it as "a great mascara for redheads" and goes on to explain that she has very sensitive eyes and contacts, and many mascaras cause her irritation and discomfort. Maybelline Colossal Mascara is her go-to mascara thanks to the fact that it doesn't cause discomfort and it works great with her complexion and lashes. It's not surprising that it worked for sensitive eyes because Maybelline Colossal Mascara has been ophthalmologist tested.

It works with different types of eyelashes as well. Several reviewers stated that they have very fine, short eyelashes, and this mascara makes the most of them, plumping, emphasizing, and delineating. One user in particular expressed that she has long eyelashes and that this mascara works fantastically for her.

Maybelline Colossal Mascara has overwhelmingly positive reviews. Some reviewers have even reported that for them, it works just as well as a much more expensive brand of mascara.
