Review: Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Cat Eyes mascara

I have been using this mascara for about three weeks now and I decided that it’s time to be useful.

Let’s get one thing straight. This is now officially one of my favourite mascaras.. despite the fact that they don’t make it in waterproof (why oh why?). And that says a lot.
It’s a beautiful black mascara, the formula is quite wet (not too much) therefore it’s quite easy to apply. The wand is curved and soft so it doesn’t poke your eyes. And not too big. It lengthens, holds the curl, adds volume. Purrrrfect.

Now as you can see, the end of the brush is a bit smaller so you can easily catch outer corner lashes with that and create the “cat eyes” look.
The brush is similar to The Falsies, but smaller. I usually start with the other side of the wand (not the rounded one) to catch the roots and give a nice base to start building the length with the rounded side.

At first, I was a bit sceptical since I didn’t like The Falsies at all, because it made my lashes glumpy and the wand made everything so messy which annoyed me like hell. But I have now realised that Cat Eyes is SO much better.

Now the only downside is that.. IT FLAKES. I mean like, WHY would you do something like this to me? Why?! A great mascara and I have to constantly check if I’m not starting to resemble to a panda. arghhh

                after about six hours

All in all, it’s a great mascara and I just have to suck it up and ignore the flaking.

Also I really-really want to start blogging again and this time properly. Oh, Andra, do not give promises you cannot keep. But we’ll see.

With all the best,
Andra
