Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara (my favorite)

This is my very favorite Mascara and I have tried hundreds!
I like my lashes to look full and dramatic. This mascara gives you extreme fullness and lengthens great for a volume mascara. No clumps, the lashes don't stick together but there aren't the big gaps either. I can keep adding layers with out it drying to fast if I want an extreme look, but this mascara is thick enough that most people would not need to layer it. I have very short blond eyelashes so I like to pile it on.  Another great thing about this mascara is that it doesn't get on your brow or under your eye when you open your eyes wide  after dried like I have had happen with other products.  The brush is big bushy and semi soft, very comfortable when applying. I have not tried the waterproof so the formula may be different for that.  I have a different waterproof favorite that I will discuss in another post. This mascara washes off easily with soap and water.

As with all mascara's the first two applications don't count because you see the best results after about the third application, once the brush is completely saturated.

Tips:
1.Don't pump your brush in and out of the tube to saturate, this pushes air back into the tube and causes the product to dry out quickly, instead move the brush in a circular motion inside the tube.

2.If your mascara seems to be clumping after a while and just not going on right then get a rag or make up cleansing cloth and clean the brush. Make sure all mascara is removed and then dry brush and insert back inside tube. Good as new unless of coarse you are out, lol

3. If you want the best eyebrow brush ever then after you are out of your mascara remove the brush and cleanse it completely and get to work on those brows! I have been doing this for years and it works better that any eyebrow brush! I have not used this particular brand for an eyebrow brush but give it a try and see if it works for you.

I do have a runner up to this mascara and a favorite water proof that I will be posting about soon. I will also post a list of mascara's that I did not like and reasons why. Thanks for reading and come back for more!
