I have been a fan of Maybelline's Volum' Express mascara for several years now as I love that it makes my lashes look thicker and fuller but I have been bowled over by Maybelline's latest edition, The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara.My first encounter with this mascara was whilst shopping for munchies with a friend who bought it on an impulse.
With just a couple of strokes her lashes look a.m.a.z.i.n.g and seemed to double in length. She doesn't wear that much makeup in the day so I thought perhaps it wasn't all down to the mascara and that maybe she just had fabulous long lashes I hadn't noticed before....
Fast forward to Jan and I actually got my hands on some and I am really, really impressed. Every mascara says 'no clumps' on the tube but that's not always strictly true in practice. I can actually confirm there were no clumps and after wearing all day it didn't flake either. This mascara added length to my lashes and looked incredibly light and natural on close inspection.
I tend to think its the brush that makes all the difference to the look of the lashes after application which is why I don't carry high end brands in my kit. I was surprised then to find that even when using a disposable wand to apply to one eye you couldn't tell the difference between the lashes I used the Maybelline brush on.
At only £4.84 at Boots right now don't take my word for it try it for yourself and let me know what you think!

good to know! i'll definatly add this to my kit.
ReplyDeletei also don't use high end brands in my kit because of the whole disposable wand thing, so it's good to know that it performs well without having to use the wand.
thanks!
I know I was really please with the results even with the dispoisble wand.
ReplyDeleteId be interested to hear what you think once you've given it a whirl so make sure to come back and let me know if you agree with my rave review! :)
Sounds fantastic... I need to get a new mascara for my kit this week, so at less than a fiver I think I'll give this a go :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think Sian!
ReplyDeletewent out and got it last night and used it today, and i LOVE it! The huge wand is perfection and layer after layer i never got any clumps. Thanks for turning me onto a new product.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you loved it and that I could be a help! I never believe the 'no clumps' claim but it is actually true with this new formula :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll try it next time I need something new for my kit!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Jes! Come back and tell me what you think when you get a chance to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest I didn't like this mascara at all. I know that there has been rosw water added & its suppose to mimick Dior's mascara but this didn't do anything for me. It seemed more like a conditioning mascara than anything else. Glad you liked it though! Great blog:)
ReplyDeleteMy lashes seemed to double in length with just one coat so its really interesting that it didnt perform for you Beauty Parler.
ReplyDeleteIt has a distinct smell that I couldnt put my finger on but now im sure its the rose water so thanks for clearing that up for me! :)
