I love reviewing mascaras since I feel like I've only came close to finding the perfect one once in my life. I have huge expectations for new releases and always hope that they'll fulfill my dream to having long, volumous lashes with minimal effort.
Maybelline have released their new mascara: the
Colossal Big Shot Volume Express Mascara (£7.99) that they sent me to try out. It claims to create fully-loaded, 'boss-babe volume', making your lashes bold from root to tip. It's the newest edition to the Colossal family and I was excited to try it out.
I like how the wand is the perfect size, not being too big to get into the roots but big enough to create volume. From my experience trying it out over the past few weeks, it seems to separate the lashes which I love, but it doesn't create a curl. Now I know you can curl your lashes yourself, but I've not done that probably since 2007 and don't intend to anytime soon. Most mascaras can create the curl somehow but this seems to make my lashes more straight. Aside from that, I think it's a great product. I've not tried it with a lash primer underneath, so maybe that could fix the lack of curl in the lashes. On the other hand, it's a great mascara for bottom lashes thanks to the wand separating the individual lashes well.
