Last night, my sister and I went out for a drive and stopped by at CVS to get some nesessities and the first thing I saw when I walked in was this bright yellow tube of mascara in front of the makeup section. It says 9X the volume in one coat no clumps. Oooh… I like the sound of that, right? I swept it on from root to tip a few times and to my surprise, it did not clump! I’d have to give it 4 stars out of 5 cuz it smelled VERY strong. My sister can smell it when I was trying it on and she was about 2 feet away from me. Overall, this is an OK mascara. Pros: it didn’t clump, attractive packaging. Cons: no length, strong smell, no 9X volume in one coat :( Would I buy this again? Probably not. I like how it looked on my lashes, but I prefer CG Lash Blast instead.
Update: Ok, so I gave it another shot tonight (2008-06-20) and I want to add another comment to my previous review. My sister complimented on my lashes and she said it looked as if I was wearing falsies. That’s cuz I practiced applying 2 coats before it dried completely cuz it started to clump. Extreme volume with 2 coats, that I gotta say. Still 4 stars cuz it smells.

So between the lash blast and this mascara which one do you prefer? Now that you’ve used this one for a longer amount of time.

I get mixed feelings about Colossal, I either love it or hate it.. LOL. I find both to be good mascaras, with Lash Blash being the first. They both give me full, volumized lashes, but Lash Blast gives me a more natural look and Colossal is more dramatic IMO. I think this will be great for that false eyelash look. I wear this ocassionally but I prefer Lash Blast.
