I loved it the first time I bought it. Ran out purchased a second tube and it’s super thick you can’t even see the bristles on the brush. I have to waste most of it by scraping it off. Finally gave up on that tube and bought a 3rd months later thinking I just got a bad one. Nope this one is just as bad. Don’t waste your money.

still prefer regular colossal
I bought this when the regular colossal, my fav, was out of stock. the formula seems exactly the same but the brush is spirally and doesn't work as well as the regular colossal brush. lashes look longer and more spindly versus the thickening effect of regular colossal. a decent substitute. I like that it comes in brownish back

Not a fan. Hard to remove from your eyes and gets clumpy.

Hello Optometry! We are sorry to hear that our Colossal Mascara did not provide the high-volume and effortless application you were looking for and that the formula appeared to be clumpy and difficult to remove. This high-performance mascara is specifically engineered with a unique Mega Brush and a collagen-infused formula designed to provide 9x the volume in just one coat for an impactful and dramatic lash look. To help prevent clumping and ensure the best results, we suggest wiping any excess product from the wand before application and using a light, sweeping motion to help the formula coat and lift your lashes from root to tip. Because our Colossal Mascara is a long-wear formula, we recommend using a dual-phase or oil-based eye makeup remover to gently dissolve the pigments without any tugging on the delicate eye area. We value your feedback as we strive to provide the high-performance results our mascaras are known for.

Hmmmm, prob not.
It was great for a about a month maybe? Then it dried out pretty quick...It's like it's been sitting around open for like 3 years. I'm not happy because it does have the great volume and ease to put it on just as I was looking for. Maybe the one I bought was a lemon? I can't afford to chance it and try it again. Sorry, on to the next one.

Meh
On the market for a new drugstore mascara. After hearing so many good reviews about this online I purchased it. I have medium length lashes and honestly I hated this. It did absolutely nothing and is one of the worst mascaras I’ve tried so far.

Nope to clumpy
Extremely chunky and to much on the wand makes your eye lash chunky clumpy. I would not recommend

The Only Thing I Can Wear
Over the last two years, I’ve been dealing with a skin allergy around my eyes. Horrible redness, itching, scaling, and pain. I finally was allergy tested and I’m allergic to beeswax, which is in 99% of mascaras. I couldn’t find anything to use until a friend suggested this mascara. Now, this is the only mascara I can use that still gives me the volume that I love. It smudges a little but I also wear it pretty heavily. Thank god for this mascara.

Nothing and I mean nothing gets this mascara off. I tried everything. Even the garnier waterproof makeup remover barely touches it and you have to keep rubbing for ages. I don’t even think gasoline would take this mascara off. I lose lashes everytime and my eyes end up burning from having to rub so much to get it off.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara. We are so sorry to hear about the frustration and discomfort you've experienced. We never want a product to cause irritation or the loss of lashes, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Our waterproof formulas are designed for extreme hold, but they should never be a struggle to remove. For our most "stubborn" mascaras, we generally recommend using an oil-based remover or a dedicated waterproof makeup cleansing balm. To protect your lashes and eyes, we recommend this "no-rub" technique: Saturate a cotton pad with an oil-based remover. Press the pad against your closed eye and hold it there for 30–60 seconds without rubbing. This allows the oil to break down the waterproof polymers. Gently wipe downward in one motion. If your eyes are currently feeling burnt or irritated, we suggest taking a break from mascara for a few days to let the delicate eye area recover. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will be sharing your feedback with our quality and development teams immediately.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara. We are truly sorry to hear that the brush you found inside the box didn't match the image on the packaging—we know how important the right tool is for achieving the perfect result! Sometimes, we update our applicators or brush designs to improve performance based on consumer feedback, and occasionally there can be a slight delay in updating the outer packaging imagery.

worst mascara i’ve ever used. took days to come off even after washing my face and using makeup removers.
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 2 months ago
Hello Sue! We are very sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced when trying to remove the Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara. This formula is specifically engineered for long-lasting wear and curl memory, which means the pigments and polymers are designed to adhere firmly to the lashes throughout the day. Because of its high-performance, long-wear nature, standard facial cleansers or water-based removers are often not strong enough to break down the formula effectively. To ensure a gentle and complete removal without stressing your lashes, we recommend using a dedicated bi-phase makeup remover or an oil-based cleansing balm. Saturating a cotton pad and holding it against your closed eyelid for thirty seconds before gently wiping away will allow the oils to dissolve the mascara bonds, making the process much smoother and more efficient. Your feedback is truly important to us as it helps us understand the balance between durability and ease of use for our consumers.
