   Have used this brand and type for years. Best out there! Easy to put on light or thick. Your choice. Stays fresh looking all day. No clumps! Comes off fast with my Cover Girl waterproof eye makeup remover. Will be using this till I die! Tried 95% of all others (cheap and expensive). This is the best! Great small brush that doesn’t get mascara on my eyelids nor cheeks, applies just the right amount – not too thin, not too thick. Perfect!

   This has been my favorite since it came out like 10 years ago. I’ve tried every other mascara, and I always come back to this one. It lasts long, good color, doesn’t flake/clump. I prefer volume over length, and this delivers. It’s the best mascara. It’s easy to layer too. I’ll do one eye, then the other, then go back to the first and still be able to apply it. The smell is weird, but I’ve gotten used to it. It’s easy to tell when you need a new tube, because it’ll have a very distinct smell. Once it dries it will go away. A great benefit is that if you get some on your eyelid while applying, just wait until it’s COMPLETELY dry and then rub it with a dry qtip. It comes off really easily compared to other mascaras. You don’t even need water or makeup remover to get it off your skin. I often get it on the bridge of my nose or my inner corners, and it comes off will barely any pressure. Wait at least 5 minutes for this, or longer if you can, because sometimes the qtip will touch my lashes and either bend them or a stray piece of cotton will attach itself to my lashes. You don’t wanna mess with this stuff while its still wet. Also, if you’re wearing eyeshadow and you get this mascara on it, just let it dry, then run your eyeshadow brush over the spot, and it’ll peel right off. If you can’t wait for it to dry, put some shadow on your brush and rub the spot. The shadow will make the mascara crumble off your lid. This stuff is also easily washable. I often wipe the tip on my clean hand to get rid of excess product, and my hand will have black spots on it when I’m done. Usually I can just rub it off, but it also easily comes off with water. At the end of the day, I remove all my other makeup, leave the mascara on (I hate removing mascara with makeup remover, it always hurts), and wash my face. The mascara comes right off my eyes. Sometimes there will be a little black stain under my eye, but I just lick a qtip (gross but idgaf as long as I just brushed my teeth) and run it under my eyes. No makeup remover required. Despite being easily removable from skin, it stays on your lashes very well. It may get a big flaky at the end of the day, but usually that’s because your tube is old, but all mascaras are like that. If you like picking off your mascara in chunks like me, this is a good formula, cause some mascaras just can’t be picked off because they’re too moist or oily.

   This has been my go-to mascara for years. Love that I can get it cheaper on Amazon than in the drug store. The brush is great at preventing clumps, but also gives a lot of volume. It’s also very easy to remove with just water, which I love, but if you’re looking for something that lasts through a rainstorm maybe purchase the waterproof version instead.

   I liked it the first time I put it on after that was when the problem started It’s like it doesn’t come off so the next day you get ready to put your makeup on again and then it feels like you’ve got 40 lb of mascara on I don’t like that kind I like the kind that I can get off here a few days and let my eyelashes breathe… Don’t do fakes of any kind so.. maybe this problem is it’s made for fakes fake eyelashes anyway I’m going to use the reminder of the tube but will not buy again. More money I’ll never see again.

   For most of my adult life I use the blue color of this brand, but I could not find it anymore so I started buying this. I also use this for several years, but it seems like something changed. It seems to be thinner than it was before, because no matter how many layers I do I’m not able to achieve the effect that I used to. I am the type that wears several layers of mascara and I love the tarantula I look. I don’t know if the formula was changed, and I’m not really sure why I would have different results than I used to. Something definitely changed, but I don’t know what it is. If you don’t like the heavy mascara look, then this won’t matter at all.

   Finally, a mascara I can wear all day that does not flake off. It provides dark, thick looking lashes that last.I have been searching for years for a mascara that coated nicely, did not take the curl out and lasts all day. I am happy to say this is my new mascara.

   I never buy Maybelline mascara bc I’ve never understood the hype over Great Lash, but glad I gave Colossal a chance based on positive reviews. Love it! 1000x better than other brands’ fat tube mascaras I’ve tried, and less $$ than what I usually use. Zero clumping issues, awesome length AND volume, works beautifully with primer, nice deep black color, and waterproof is really truly waterproof. No amount of sweat and humidity can budge this stuff. I remove w/cleansing oil. Will def buy again.

   I’ve been using this mascara since it first came out, so almost a decade. I have tried different brands along the way, lured in by a promise of thicker/longer/more defined lashes, and always come back to The Colossal Waterproof Mascara, Volumizing in Glam Black. No other mascara instantly defines my lashes so well nor is so waterproof. I teach fitness classes and sweat like crazy, and this mascara usually stays on (if that sounds bad that it is not 100%, it stays on more often than any other waterproof mascara I have tried). Even when it does run/smudge, it’s just a little bit, no horrible raccoon eyes. This mascara adds both length and volume, stays on, and is easy to remove at night with waterproof eye make-up remover. Highly recommend!

   I do not believe this is the real product. Bottom of tube is different color than the top and the formula is dry and not the same as usual. I’ve bought this from drug store for many years. Go to store and get it.

    Bought this for a vacation to Mexico. Was perfect for being in he pool/ocean. It stayed on great! Almost too great..really had to scrub at my eyes to get it off at night, but I’m fine with that if it means I don’t have runny mascara raccoon eyes all day!
