Seemed great at first and then I noticed it smudges so it ends up all around my eyes so I look like a raccoon. I have never had any other waterproof mascara do that. I plan on returning it.

Love mascara, but the applicator keeps breaking

I love this mascara. I use the cat eyes because I love the curved application brush. The reason I only gave it four stars is because the last two that I have bought the applicator has snapped in two and I am not able to use it anymore. The last one snapped about three weeks after you buying it and the one that snapped today, I have not even had for one week. Unfortunately, I don’t think I still have the receipt to be able to return it and I’m kind of afraid to buy a new one now since it’s happened to me two times in a row! It’s a huge bummer because it’s the best mascara I’ve found in a long time
Formula change? TRASH

This was my go-to in high-school. I saw it and it brought back memories of luscious, thick, long lashes and it was my favorite. I immediately tried it when it arrived and it was AWFUL. just awful. Uneven distribution of mascara to the wand, the wand however seemed the same, but also didn't seem to grab much mascara from the tube. When it is applied, it's goopy, yet too thin at the same time. This was brand new but acted like old mascara. I swish it around, same effect. I threw it away. Total garbage! Why change a great thing!?!

barely works for my eyelashes. weighs them down after applying and undoes any curl i previously made. does a poor job at volumizing my lashes. very wet formula that does not hold a curl and does not volumize! brush is also very messy

Mascara is perfectly fine for the price, but as someone with a sensitivity to strong smells, the scent is waaay too overwhelming

Okay this is a review of the brown. I really like it in summer, it’s natural but just enough glam. Stays on but takes awhile to dry down. It does have a smell like paint but it lasts all day so it’s a trade off. Cons- if you cry and it gets in your eyes, it burns. But otherwise it looks great.
Its okay

It looks great at first then you look in the mirror without ever touching your eyes and it’s smeared everywhere but then impossible to get off! You will be raccoon eyes for days without using it!

Hello Jld123. We are very sorry that The Colossal® did not meet your expectations and smudged. This is never a result we want for one of our consumers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be forwarding this to our team. We recommend our Expert Eyes® 100% Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover to remove this mascara. Hope this helps! Xoxo

JustMe - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I put this on and it looked very nice. However, my eyes teared and it ran into them and they immediately started to itch. I took it off right away and used my moisture drops to clear out my eyes and get relief. It's been about an hour and they're still a bit uncomfortable but getting back to normal. I have never been allergic to any makeup before so it's unusual, but I had to report this—just in case someone else has sensitivities.

This mascara creates a lot of clumps. If you take the time to clean the brush every application, then delicately remove clumps from your lashes, the end result is great. But I don't have time for that. So this is a no-go product for me.

Although I like this mascara, I am disappointed to find that it is scented. I guess I never thought about it checking that when I got it. But the scent is too strong for me to use.

I don't know what has happened in last year, but this product is simply not the same as it was. At first, I thought I have bought an expired one, but no, different shops, same result. Very little effect, you need to put layers of product to make it look decent and the final result is very dissapointing. The colossal used to be my number 1 mascara, but unfortunately, I am not going to buy it anymore.
