Not easy to remove like past version and not elongating
I wish the target I go to didn’t replace the standard colossal mascara with this one. It acts like a waterproof mascara when trying to remove and doesn’t separate lashes like the old one did. It layers on the mascara and clumps up more… doesn’t make lashes look longer to me only thicker/bolder.

Sadly disappointed
This could be an amazing product. I bought the copper and love it for the color. The mascara comes out very thick and the tube could reduce that with a thinner top portion of the tube. I feel it will dry out fast. I have been using a loreal mascara for years and there has been one yet to be better

Do not buy this product, save your eyes and vision
I used colossal bubble mascara for the first time today and will never give it another chance. I went on a short shopping trip, about 10 miles, was gone about 2 hours and by the time I was driving home, I needed two pairs of sunglasses, the visor down, blurry vision and burning eyes. The information says it’s allergy and ophthalmologist test. I have never had a reaction to mascara before and am 84 years old.

Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having eyelash extensions for over 5 years, I finally cut back and decided to remove them. Therefore I was able to try this mascara and it is by FAR my favorite. It lasts all day and still looks amazing. It makes my lashes look like a never even took a break from extensions.

Don't waste your time or money
Why oh whyyyyy did they take away my favorite mascara [Colossal Big Shot] and replace it with this trash? It's truly the worst masacara I have ever used and I'm in my 50's. It's too wet, goes on like spider legs, flakes almost immediately and then is so difficult to remove that even after coconut oil it takes two days to remove it. I absolutely detest it and this is the 1st time I have thrown an almost new mascara into the trash. I have given it 5 chances and it's a COLOSSAL NO for me. Ugh. I've used Maybelline mascara since I was 13, but I think I need to switch brands. So disappointed. [I use the waterproof version]

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your honest feedback on our Colossal Bubble Waterproof Mascara. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration with the formula and that it didn't live up to your long-time love for Colossal Big Shot. We've passed your notes along to our team. Since this waterproof formula is super heavy-duty, try using an oil-based eye makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad, holding it gently against your lashes for a few seconds to help break it down before wiping away without harsh rubbing. We'd love for you to give us another chance, so feel free to explore our other mascara options to find a new favorite. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! XO

Maybelline bubble mascara hurt my eyes.
I bought this mascara because of the hype and it actually gives the volume and lengthening effect after using 10 coats of mascara. But it hurt my eyes my so bad all the time and I’ve allergic reactions to it. I tired second time just to confirm it, if it was because of the mascara. I just can’t sleep because of the pain it caused in my eyes.

Looks really unattractive
This mascara smudged horribly!!! I went to dinner for a few hours and when I came home, it was all down my face. It definitely gave me raccoon eyes. It didn’t add much length or volume to my lashes at all… and it was pretty hard to remove. I ended up throwing it away. Don’t waste your money on this one.

Hi there! We’re so sorry to hear that the Colossal Bubble Mascara smudged and didn't deliver the volume and length you were hoping for—definitely not the look we want you to have for a night out! Smudging can sometimes be influenced by natural skin oils or eye creams, but we hear your feedback loud and clear and will share it with our product team. If you're looking for a long-wearing, smudge-resistant favorite, our Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is a wonderful option to try. Feel free to reach out to our Consumer Care team if we can help you further!

Maybe I'll use for a wedding
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clumps a little too much for my liking and harder to take off. Which can be great cuz water proof and hard that it takes more than makeup wipes to remove these

Disappointing!!!
This mascara is extremely misrepresented. The brush is nothing like advertised, the product clumps on the brush and on lashes from day one and offers no separation of lashes. I have had to separate my lashes with a stick pin on every application. With any luck you may get 4 or 5 hours of wear before it starts flaking everywhere. Huge disappointment!
1 reply from Maybelline team - 1 month ago
Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that your experience with this mascara was such a disappointment, from the clumping and lack of separation to the flaking. That is certainly not the performance we aim to provide, and we truly appreciate you sharing your honest feedback so we can pass it along to our team.

This mascara flakes. Very disappointing, it made my lashes look great but I always notice the mascara flaking onto my face throughout the day.
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 1 month ago
Hi there! We're so glad you loved the volume and length, but we're sorry to hear about the flaking! That's definitely not the experience we want you to have. To help minimize flaking, you can try wiping excess product off the brush before applying or setting your lashes with a light clear mascara.

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

Hello Brandie! We are so glad to hear you loved the perfect Copper Brown shade of our Colossal Bubble Mascara, but we are sorry to hear that the formula is clumping inside the tube and making application difficult. We have shared your experience directly with our quality team for review, and we suggest ensuring the cap is closed tightly between uses to keep the formula fresh.

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
