It did not last on my eyes and turned crumbly after using it a while.

okay
The color is perfect. However, the mascara itself is clumping in the container. This makes application much harder.

Skip the Waterproof Version
I LOVE the original version of this mascara, it makes my lashes look so long and pretty. The waterproof version, though? I bought it for a beach vacation, and it started flaking within seconds of my face getting wet. I looked like a raccoon, and no matter how much I tried to clean it up, it just kept smudging and getting worse. It couldn't survive the pool or the ocean, but somehow it survived every makeup remover I own. It took TWO days to get it off. So it's not waterproof for swimming... just waterproof against removal. 😂

Hello! We are so glad to hear you absolutely love the original version of our Colossal Bubble Mascara for long, pretty lashes! We are so sorry to hear that the waterproof version didn't stand up to the pool or ocean and flaked on your vacation, and we have shared your experience directly with our quality and development teams. To help remove the water-resistant formula easily without any harsh scrubbing, we suggest using an oil-based eye makeup remover on a cotton pad and letting it sit on closed eyes for a few moments to help dissolve the wear. We hope this tip helps, and we invite you to explore our other waterproof mascara options to find a reliable match for your next sunny getaway! XO

Brush is not as pictured.
Pretty color with the copper brown but the brush pictured is not what the brush looks like in the tube. It has a tendency to clump eyelashes together. It’s not particularly lengthening or volumizing. I’d like This color in a different formula and brush.

Hello JMP! We are so sorry to hear that the brush and formula of our Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara did not meet your expectations, especially since you loved the beautiful copper brown color. This patented Curl 'N' Bounce brush is specially curved to sweep up and coat every lash for a bouncy lift, which can sometimes distribute the product differently depending on your natural lash shape. A helpful tip to prevent clumping and get the most volume is to gently wipe any excess formula off the wand onto a tissue before applying, and then use the curved inner arch of the brush to wiggle the mascara from root to tip to keep your lashes beautifully separated.

I wish the brush scraped off a bit better when pulling it from the tube. Adds length and volume

Applicator wand issue
The applicator wand pictured on Maybelline's website is not the wand that came in the tube. What is shown is the usual wire coil / comb type wand with bristles. The wand in the tube is a flexible silicone-like material with odd "bristles" that are spaced widely apart. This wand doesn't allow for separation of lashes nor even coverage. Too much mascara ends up on this odd wand. I did like the color though (brownish black).

Hello! Thank you for reaching out about our Colossal Bubble Mascara. We are so sorry for the confusion regarding the applicator wand you received, and we want to assure you that the brush inside the tube should be our specially designed comb brush for buildable volume. We have shared your detailed comments regarding the bristles and product transfer directly with our team for review, and we are glad to know you enjoyed the brownish black shade. If you need further assistance with your product, we are always happy to help, so please feel free to reach out to us directly here: https://tinyurl.com/y7orulbf. XO

Good product / bad color
The texture is great and makes the lashes look amazing. However, copper brown is more like dark brown/almost black. This color does not work for true redheads.

Good mascara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love maybelline products. This mascara is great, but doesn’t work as well as the one in the purple tube. However, it just may be personal preference.

Very good/value
I love this mascara in the washable formula. It really builds and this is the kind that my lashes almost reach my eyebrows after a couple of coats. I skip eyeliner because it really darkens the lash band area.

Colossally Clumpy
This mascara was clumpy and did not go on smoothly.
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 4 months ago
Hello caro! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the Colossal Bubble Mascara with us. This long-wear formula is developed with fiber-filled technology to create a dramatic, voluminous look that resists water and smudging throughout the day. Because the formula is highly pigmented and can sometimes be a bit thick, the clumps can be a sign that too much product was applied at once. A helpful tip for achieve the best results with this mascara is to apply it in thin, buildable layers onto your lashes, moving the wand in a zig-zag motion to separate the fibers. This ensures that the pigments are more evenly distributed for a more visible impact without any clumping or smearing. We appreciate your patience as you discover the value of this lengthening and volumizing mascara as part of your makeup routine.

Wand sucks
I used the regular bubble mascara and decided to try the waterproof. It’s absolute trash compared the first one. And did yall change the wand?? It makes my eyelashes so chunky and makes them look stubby when they are a pretty decent length.

Best mascara!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mascara is amazing, it has such a smooth application and the brush is amazing and creates such a wispy effect on the lashes . It’s also very long lasting and does not flake easily.

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
