Smudges Easily

Doesn't Last Long

Poor Brush Quality

No Long Lash Effect

Has a Curling Effect

Easy to Apply

Adds Volume

Doesn't Clump

Absorbs Well

Accentuates

However, the mascara smudges easily, which is a downside. If you sleep or even shed a tiny tear from yawning, you'll end up with raccoon eyes... haha!

The staying power seems pretty good. The color is vibrant and beautiful.

When you think of mascara, Maybelline comes to mind, but this feels like a significant downgrade from their classic yellow New York mascara. The sharp, gasoline-like scent is irritating (though it dissipates after application). Surprisingly, even without applying it to my lower lashes, I noticed subtle smudging about 4 hours after application, suggesting poor staying power. Oddly enough, despite the smudging, the curling effect isn't bad, which is puzzling.

The applicator seems better suited for Asian eyes compared to previous Maybelline products. It applies smoothly and offers above-average curling power.

I bought it because it was advertised as washable, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't come off easily.

The way it absorbs and its staying power are decent, making it a safe and easy choice for everyday use.

While the unique packaging is nice, it's not slim but rather chubby, which makes it a bit awkward to hold. Unfortunately, despite being marketed for curl and bounce, it doesn't hold a curl well on my monolids! It droops, even after using a heated eyelash curler. This could be due to mask humidity, but still... For monolids, a lash primer is absolutely necessary! I'd recommend this mascara only for those who don't have straight lashes.

To be honest, I can't think of any particular advantages... Maybe it's affordable when on sale?

After applying the mascara, I used a cotton swab to separate my lashes. The volume lasted all day long, from morning to night, without drooping!

- The brush is a bit too thick, making me nervous about getting product on my eyelids when applying close to the lash line.
- It creates a dramatic, Western-style lash look, which might be a bit much for those preferring a more natural makeup style.

- The curling effect is outstanding! Lashes stay curled from morning to night. They really nailed it with the name 'Curl Bounce'!
- I've been using it for a few days and haven't noticed any smudging. Of course, there's no flaking either. It's excellent value for money!

Apply it from the roots with a sweeping motion, then use tweezers to separate any clumped lashes at the tips for a beautiful look.

I tend to wink a lot, so the inner corner area sometimes smudges a bit.

The best thing about this product is that it doesn't really have any drawbacks. Sometimes I'm too lazy to remove my makeup before bed, but when I wake up in the morning, my lashes are still fabulous! The biggest advantage is its staying power. If anyone says this doesn't last long, they're probably not applying it correctly.

As mentioned earlier, the thick brush makes application a bit tricky, and it smudges terribly. If you're out and about for a while, you'll end up with raccoon eyes. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who needs long-lasting wear.

The curl hold is decent, and despite the thick brush, it applies quite neatly.

Since it's not a film-type formula, a cleansing balm removes it more effectively than a point makeup remover.

The smudging is so bad it negates all the positives. The 2022 mascara smudges like crazy. It claims to be waterproof, but it smudges at the pool and in everyday life. How can it claim 24-hour wear? Some blogger reviews seem questionable. I always thought my pencil eyeliner was the problem when I had smudging, but today I went out wearing only this mascara, and after 2 hours, I looked like a complete panda. I even applied powder before going out, but it's a powdered panda look. The attached photo shows a before-and-after comparison from about 40 minutes of water play. It smudges quickly even without diving. As a last resort, I'll try to salvage it with a fixer, but if that doesn't work, I'll have to throw it away. I'd rather have a mascara that flakes a bit because it's easier to touch up! This one doesn't even come off easily when it smudges. You need to remove it with oil and reapply, which is very inconvenient. It's such a disappointment. I don't think I'll be using Colossal again in the future.

1. The spiral-shaped applicator is great. The brush is full, so one coat applies thinly and evenly across the lashes. It goes on beautifully. 2. This product focuses more on volume than length. 3. Since my lashes aren't naturally straight, the curl-holding power is pretty good, maintaining a natural and beautiful look.

True to foreign mascaras, the brush is thick and chunky, making it easy to get product on your eyelids. There's almost no lengthening effect. If applied incorrectly, it can clump and look unattractive.

I picked up this mascara because the case is so pretty and cute! Maybelline New York mascaras have been famous for a while, but strangely they always smudged on my eyes, which was disappointing. However, this mascara doesn't smudge, doesn't droop much, and has excellent staying power, so I'm very satisfied. Its main functions seem to be curling and volume. It has outstanding curl-holding power and longevity while enhancing the volume of lashes, making them look full and making eyes appear more defined.

Despite being marketed as a 'Volume Curling Tension-up Mascara', it falls short on both volume and curling power. To be precise, it does curl, but lacks staying power. Even with a fixer and eyelash curler, the lashes droop quickly. It's closer to a clean-looking mascara than a volumizing one, but it clumps, so it doesn't even excel at being a clean mascara. It fails to create sharp, defined lash tips. Also, it starts clumping after just about two weeks of use. I was only satisfied for the first two or three days.

The brush is quite thick, but it applies smoothly. It's more of a clean-looking mascara rather than one for volume. It doesn't smudge much.

• The brush is too large, often leaving marks on the eyelid or under-eye area.
• The staying power isn't particularly impressive. There's a slight tendency for smudging.
• It tends to weigh down lashes, causing them to droop rather quickly.

As a mascara nomad who's tried many, I found the Colossal Curl Bounce to be decent. Here are my thoughts:

▪️Pros:
• Excellent curling power. It seems to be the most curl-focused product among Maybelline's mascaras.
• Living up to the 'Colossal' name, it provides quite voluminous lashes.
• One coat gives a clean look without clumping, while additional layers build up for more definition. I appreciated the ability to adjust based on preference.
