Maybelline Volum’ Express the Colossal Mascara
At Free Beauty Events we love trying out the latest mascara. This time, we tried Maybelline’s Volum’ Express the Colossal Mascara. This promises to give 9x the volume instantly with one coat. We found one coat to be enough for day, and we were surprised to see that we got a more natural look. With a name like ‘Volum’ Express the Colossal’ you might expect a more false lash look, but this is not a high drama mascara. As promised it went on clump free (which can be an issue with volumizing mascara). In our opinion, this gives the same effect as their Great Lash Mascara. But we liked that the Volum’ Express is collagen enriched – excellent for your lashes. To see other mascaras we’ve reviewed click here.
Tip: Mascara also works great as liquid eyeliner. Buy a slim eyeliner brush such as the e.l.f Studio Angled Eyeliner Brush and insert it in your mascara tube. It’s just $3.00 and you can use it to turn all of your mascaras into double-duty products!

Thanks for the review. I agree I would expect a more dramatic look due to the name. I will probably pass on this one. But thanks for the tip, now I need to go purchase a slim eyeliner brush.
It’s cool that you can make double duty of this product… sure helps to save some cash… for other beauty products
i had this mascara and it worked well with my lashes. my lashes are pretty thin and this helped big time with my lashes to make them pop but unfornately my son liked it too and played with it all over the place.
I was hoping for a more dramatic result and would love to know what mascaras have worked better for greater drama.
Hands down we think this mascara gives the best drama: http://www.freebeautyevents.com/2010/10/07/maybelline-xxl-pro-extensions We reviewed this last year but fortunately Maybelline still sells it!
Good information. Probably will pass on this one.
I currently use this and another from them and both are fabulous especially if you curl prior.
