COLOSSAL BUBBLE™ WASHABLE MASCARA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara help give lashes volume?
This volumizing mascara works its magic with a unique lash-inflating formula and our special inflator comb brush, which truly lets you "bubble up" every lash. It's a fantastic buildable mascara that also acts as a separating mascara, giving you that airy, defined volume without any clumping.
What does the Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara spiral comb brush do?
The Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara spiral comb brush is specially designed to lift and inflate every single lash for a bubbled-up mascara look. The brush separates lashes for individual, defined lash volume.
Is Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara a tubing mascara?
No, Maybelline New York’s Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara isn't a tubing formula; it's a traditional film-forming volumizing mascara. It expertly coats each lash with a pigmented film to deliver incredible volume, length, and defined separation for that perfect bubbled-up lash look. While Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara offers up to 24 hours of long-lasting wear, it doesn't form the small tubes around each lash that are characteristic of tubing mascaras.
How long does Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara last?
Brace for all-day impact! Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara is formulated to deliver up to 24-hour wear, so your lashes stay voluminous and separated from morning to night.
How do you remove Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara?
It’s super easy to take off Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara at the end of the day. A micellar water, or any gentle eye makeup remover, will do the trick.
Is Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara safe for sensitive eyes?
Yes! Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara is ophthalmologist-tested and allergy-tested, making it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Where can I buy Colossal Bubble™ Washable Mascara?

SO clumpy!
a month ago
This is one of the worst mascaras I’ve ever used and I’ve tried a lot! The wand comes out so insanely clumpy that I need to fully wipe it off on a napkin or tissue before applying and somehow I still get clumps in my lashes. I’d throw it away, but I spent money on it and don’t want to be wasteful. Save your money and get literally anything else. Everyday I have clumped up lashes and mascara gets all over my eyelids. So disappointed, definitely influencer hyped without actually being a good product.
No, I do not recommend this product.

FANTASTIC
a month ago
WOW!! Best mascara since “dial a lash” from the 1980’s.First of all the brown is spot on for color. It’s beautiful. This mascara is very buildable, gives great separation and volume. This mascara still looks good when I woke up in the morning with no smudging. Removal was extremely easy with mascara remover and no lashes came out. I can’t wait to buy it in black. This tube far exceeded my expectations as I have not bought Maybelline mascara since the 1980’s.

Sadly disappointed

This could be an amazing product. I bought the copper and love it for the color. The mascara comes out very thick and the tube could reduce that with a thinner top portion of the tube. I feel it will dry out fast. I have been using a loreal mascara for years and there has been one yet to be better
No, I do not recommend this product.

Do not buy this product, save your eyes and vision

I used colossal bubble mascara for the first time today and will never give it another chance. I went on a short shopping trip, about 10 miles, was gone about 2 hours and by the time I was driving home, I needed two pairs of sunglasses, the visor down, blurry vision and burning eyes. The information says it’s allergy and ophthalmologist test. I have never had a reaction to mascara before and am 84 years old.

Amazing

After having eyelash extensions for over 5 years, I finally cut back and decided to remove them. Therefore I was able to try this mascara and it is by FAR my favorite. It lasts all day and still looks amazing. It makes my lashes look like a never even took a break from extensions.

Don't waste your time or money
2 months ago
Why oh whyyyyy did they take away my favorite mascara [Colossal Big Shot] and replace it with this trash? It's truly the worst masacara I have ever used and I'm in my 50's. It's too wet, goes on like spider legs, flakes almost immediately and then is so difficult to remove that even after coconut oil it takes two days to remove it. I absolutely detest it and this is the 1st time I have thrown an almost new mascara into the trash. I have given it 5 chances and it's a COLOSSAL NO for me. Ugh. I've used Maybelline mascara since I was 13, but I think I need to switch brands. So disappointed. [I use the waterproof version]
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! Thanks so much for sharing your honest feedback on our Colossal Bubble Waterproof Mascara. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration with the formula and that it didn't live up to your long-time love for Colossal Big Shot. We've passed your notes along to our team. Since this waterproof formula is super heavy-duty, try using an oil-based eye makeup remover or micellar water on a cotton pad, holding it gently against your lashes for a few seconds to help break it down before wiping away without harsh rubbing. We'd love for you to give us another chance, so feel free to explore our other mascara options to find a new favorite. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! XO

Maybelline bubble mascara hurt my eyes.

I bought this mascara because of the hype and it actually gives the volume and lengthening effect after using 10 coats of mascara. But it hurt my eyes my so bad all the time and I’ve allergic reactions to it. I tired second time just to confirm it, if it was because of the mascara. I just can’t sleep because of the pain it caused in my eyes.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Disappointing!!!
3 months ago
This mascara is extremely misrepresented. The brush is nothing like advertised, the product clumps on the brush and on lashes from day one and offers no separation of lashes. I have had to separate my lashes with a stick pin on every application. With any luck you may get 4 or 5 hours of wear before it starts flaking everywhere. Huge disappointment!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Applicator wand issue
5 months ago
The applicator wand pictured on Maybelline's website is not the wand that came in the tube. What is shown is the usual wire coil / comb type wand with bristles. The wand in the tube is a flexible silicone-like material with odd "bristles" that are spaced widely apart. This wand doesn't allow for separation of lashes nor even coverage. Too much mascara ends up on this odd wand. I did like the color though (brownish black).
No, I do not recommend this product.

Worst mascare I've experienced
6 months ago
Purchased from superdrug, fully sealed. I only bought it because I've been using Colossal for over a decade and have been struggling to find it. This was in its spot so I'm thought must be similar... I couldn't be more wrong. It just leaves massive blind of mascara on the lashes that I couldn't even fix with my old colossal wand! You can see even on the wand before even putting it on your lashes it's a complete clumpy mess. Ridiculously ineffective brush. I'm just hoping the colossal will be back as I definitely will not be using or buying any more of this stuff
No, I do not recommend this product.

Then it dried out pretty quick...It's like it's been sitting around open for like 3 years.
I'm not happy because it does have the great volume and ease to put it on just as I was looking for.
Maybe the one I bought was a lemon? I can't afford to chance it and try it again.
Sorry, on to the next one.

The Only Thing I Can Wear
8 months ago
Over the last two years, I’ve been dealing with a skin allergy around my eyes. Horrible redness, itching, scaling, and pain. I finally was allergy tested and I’m allergic to beeswax, which is in 99% of mascaras. I couldn’t find anything to use until a friend suggested this mascara. Now, this is the only mascara I can use that still gives me the volume that I love. It smudges a little but I also wear it pretty heavily. Thank god for this mascara.

Not loving this. Brush is so wet with mascara. Pulling it out is loose so it doesn't take some of the mascara off the brush. By the end of my day I have 'racoon eyes, " thought I would try it though.Thrive tubing mascara is better but expensive. Its the way to go though if you want a clean look all day..

We’re sorry to hear this mascara didn’t live up to your expectations! It sounds like the wiper inside the tube isn't removing enough excess product, leading to that "wet" application and the smudging you experienced.
We appreciate you giving us a try, and we'll definitely share your feedback about the formula and the packaging with our team. If you're looking for that "clean" tubing effect without the high price tag, you might really love our Sky High or The Falsies Surreal mascaras—they’re designed for a smudge-free finish!

Awful mascara
10 months ago
Maybelline Colossal Bubble Mascara is the worst mascara I've ever used! If I could give it minus stars I would.
It clumps on the lashes. It clumps on the brush. When I cleaned the brush I got the mascara on my fingers & had to use a household cleaner to wash my hands 3 times before getting them clean. It's a Colossal waste of money! Staying with my Avon mascaras. No comparison.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Messy, clumpy mascara

Collassal Bubble is a collassal mess. It clumps, irritates my eyes, and is difficult to remove. It was a collassal loss on my part because it is so expensive.
If I wanted a cheap mascara then this is it.
The brush shown is not the one provided. Falsehood in advertising.
So sorry I wasted my money.

I really liked all three Maybelline products I got from Influenster. The lip gloss has a nice sheer tint and feels hydrating, perfect for everyday wear. The eyeliner goes on smoothly, isn’t drying, and lasts all day. The mascara takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it gives great volume! Just be careful to avoid spider lashes. Overall, they all worked really well for me!

GORGEOUS mascara…but waterproof, not washable.
11 months ago
This mascara is BEAUTIFUL on. Truly… it brings forth lashes you may not have known that you had and makes them fuller and longer. It’s one of the best I have tried in quite a long while, honestly. It doesn’t feel very heavy or cause flaking for me. It also seems to be one of the only formulas I have seen in recent years that does not contain beeswax, synthetic or otherwise. In fact it doesn’t appear to contain wax at all… which is highly unusual. I am not sure if this is a positive or a negative yet. Time will tell. What I do know is that this mascara is billed as Washable and it is not. Washable means that it can be removed with your facial cleanser or soap and water. I would like to try and see ANYONE remove this with bubbles. lol. I could barely get it off with Aquafor (which I had to use in a pinch and typically removes mascara totally fine due to its petrolatum base). So just be forewarned. You will want a looser oil-based remover or a possibly a cleansing balm/oil with this.

My lashes looks longer and more volume
a year ago
I received as a member from Lorealistar Community in exchange to my honest opinion.
I am in love with Maybelline’s Colossal Bubble mascara! I have very short, light lashes, and not all mascaras give me the effect I want. However, this mascara’s black color and lash-inflating formula provide sleek volume, curl, and separation for my lashes.
Once applied, I barely feel like I’m wearing mascara; it’s so lightweight. I appreciate that, while wearing Bubble Colossal mascara, there’s no flaking or mess around my eyes. A big plus for me is that my sensitive eyes feel comfortable and experience no irritation. I highly recommend it!
