Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara

I bought this mascara from Priceline for around $20, I can't remember exactly how much it was. I was really excited because it promised to make me look like I had false eyelahes on so long, thick, full lashes. Sounds good.

When I was applying it, the wand seemed like it had way too much mascara on it and the mascara itself was very thick. I had to be very careful when I was applying it because it made my lashes clumpy. If there was less mascara on the wand it would have been better.

Despite the clumpiness however, it did make my lashes very long and thick. My natural lashes are short and not very thick so I was quite happy with how long they were after using this mascara. It stays on all day which is also a plus.


Overall, I think that this mascara is best for using if you're going out at night, during the day in natural light it looks way too clumpy. Don't get me wrong though, it's great for wearing at night because it seems dramatic and it doesn't appear clumpy when it's dark.

Would I buy it again? No
Would I recommend it? For wearing at night, yes
Should you buy it? No, it's far too clumpy, there are other Maybelline mascaras that work better

Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express Mascara

Lately, a few of my friends have had the longest, most gorgeous looking eyelashes and when I asked what mascara they used, they replied with 'Maybelline, The Colossal.' Now, I'd already used this a while ago and it was okay but didn't impress me completely so I thought I'd give it another go.
The product itself is in a bright yellow tube with big purple writing, a little different from the usual black ones and the wand is a very thick, bristled one. When applying it, I felt that it was way too thick and I had to wipe excess mascara on the lip of the tube, even then there was too much on the wand. This mascara can look great but takes lots of time and effort to apply as it goes clumpy very quickly.

Although I've tried better mascara, I think this one really depends on you. It looked amazing on my friends but didn't flatter me at all. Maybe I shouldn't have wiped the excess mascara off the wand? Who knows.

Would I buy it again? Probably not.
Would I recommend it? Most likely, but there's others that I'd recommend before this.
Should you buy it? Yes, give it a go. It might look great on you.
