Last month, Maybelline introduced a special promotional box containing the three Colossal eye products namely the Colossal Kajal, the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara and their new innovation the Colossal Kohl Turquoise for their makeup enthusiasts to get the Perfect Colossal Eyes in three easy steps.
I got my hands on one of these pretty boxes and created a Colossal eye look to share with you all.
The packaging of the box is what impressed me the most. The box has a yellow and blue exterior. It's a three tiered box which has a magnetic lock mechanism to shut it close. Each of the tier contains a beautifully packaged Colossal product. The best part about the box was that one can modify the box a little and use it to keep all their cosmetics in it!
An assortment of looks, ranging from simplest to more complex ones can be created using the three Colossal products. What I've shown here is a very simple and quick way to make your eyes look more attractive.
Steps:
- First line the entire upper eyelid and the inner half of the lower eyelid with the Colossal Kohl Turquoise.
- Then proceed with lining the outer half of the lower eyelid with the Colossal Kajal.
- Finally, apply the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara over the eyelashes to give them more volume.
And voila there you have it - Beautiful Colossal eyes in just 3 easy steps!!
A month ago I came across the new innovation by Maybelline by the name "The Colossal Kohl Turquoise" but couldn't try it at the time due to super hectic exam preparations and had almost forgotten about it until I came across it yesterday while cleaning my closet and being a make up freak I just had to try it then and there!
So keeping all my work aside, I tried the Colossal Kohl on my eyes, but not before taking a few snaps of the packaging in which it came and a few swatches for you all!

I used the Kohl today again to test it for all it claims, and was pretty happy with the way it looked on me. It has a very nice creamy, soft texture which makes its application on the eyelids very easy. The color is very fresh and bright and has a shimmer to it. For best effect, should be used with the Colossal Kajal and the Colossal Volum' Express Mascara to enhance the eyes although here I've just used the Kohl.
Pros:
- Simple, catchy packaging with a sturdy cap.
- Glides very easily over the eyelid making for very smooth application!
- Provides an intense color with a single swipe.
- Does not smudge or fade.
- Waterproof.
- Can be used as a kohl, an eyeliner and also as an eye shadow.
- Can be easily wiped off with the help of a makeup remover.
- Easily available across the country.
Cons:
- Being too soft, a bit too much pressure may cause the tip of the Kohl to break off.
- At Rs. 249/- a piece, its on the costlier side.
Verdict: 4.25/5. Would recommend and repurchase in blink of an eye!
