Doesn‘t keep what she promises!!!
Waterproof is probably a joke, does not last even in a dry state.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our The Colossal Waterproof Mascara. We are sorry to hear that this formula did not provide the waterproof results or the long-lasting wear you expected, and we have passed your comments along to our team for review. For the best results, we suggest ensuring the cap is closed tightly between uses and allowing the product to set completely after application. We invite you to explore our other waterproof options to help you find the perfect match for your lash goals! XO

not maybelline's best
2 years ago
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
No, I do not recommend this product.

The Best for Creating Thick, Long Lashes!!

Best, beautiful, rich mascara ever!!! It makes the lashes long and thick!!! I do have fairly long and thick lashes to start with but this makes them much fuller and extends them. Been using this for years!!! I will never use another type of waterproof mascara.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Hi There! We are so sorry you disliked the Volum Express The Colossal Waterproof Mascara. We highly recommend trying our Volum Express Colossal Curl Bounce Waterproof Curling Mascara instead. This mascara still has the same waterproof formula that you liked in the Volum Express The Colossal Waterproof Mascara but instead of the straight wand is has a Curl ’N’ Bounce brush that separates and curls lashes while its Memory-Curl formula gives curl that lasts. This long wearing mascara delivers lasting bouncy lashes. Not only does it prevent clumpy eyelashes, it defies smudging and has up to a 24HR wear. To purchase this product please click here: https://tinyurl.com/2xeedy8e. Please let us know how you like it, we would love to have your feedback!

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Volum' Express The Colossal Waterproof Mascara. We are sorry to hear about your experience with our product. It is possible that minor changes have been made in the formula of a product; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable at all. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always accurate listing. We hoped this helps. XOXO!

Q: Is this mascara gluten free?
7 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hey there Megan R! Most ingredients derived from grain sources are highly refined and retain no traces of gluten proteins. For less refined ingredients from natural sources, Maybelline has established strict limits on the level of potentially allergenic proteins. Since individuals exhibit a wide range of sensitivities to these proteins, if you have any questions or concerns you should discuss with your medical care provider. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself. For products too small to accommodate the list, a separate ingredient list is available on the display unit in the store for your convenience. Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry FDA-recognized names. A review of the ingredients that are listed on all of our products or packages will alert you to the presence of this type of ingredient.7 years agoHelpful?
