When I first opened the packet with these coloured mascaras in them, my first impression was that they just weren’t for me, since I am no longer 16. But something about the shape of the wand intrigued me (the word wand makes me want to snigger, so maybe I am still 16 in my head).
The bristles are all quite short, but vary in length along the wand – this is different to my preferred fat and fluffy mascara wand. But I wanted to give it a go.
Left eye – electric blue. Right eye – Purple.
Above on my right eye is the purple mascara and on the left is the bright blue. The blue is really vivid! The purple is a bit more subtle and of the brighter colours this is my preferred one.
Left eye – black. Right eye – teal.
Above on my right eye is the teal and on the left is the black. I was expecting to like the teal, but I really don’t think it works with my blue eyes. I do however like the black – I like the long, but natural effect.
So having tried all four colours out and despite the fact that I am going to stick by the gut instinct that brightly coloured mascara is not for me, I do like the brush and formula of these. I am impressed by the length and definition that the black version delivers.
If you are braver with colour, then tell me – do these bright mascaras appeal to you?
Collection 2000 Extreme Coloured Mascaras are £2.99 (bargain).
I agree that coloured mascara was popular back when I was a kid and thought it was really cool. However, I think these mascaras look really subtle and surprisingly good!
I’ve used the black one and really loved it. I had to buy it at Christmas time due to my usual running out and being completely skint! I might try the blue one now though as it goes on my lashes really well! ps. love your blog!
I love the purple and the blue. Thank you for doing this review – it was so helpful! Now definitely going to get the purple one, and maybe the blue. ~Hannah xx

The black looks great! I think I can just about handle the purple but not sure if I’m brave enough for the others!

Totally agree – they are very 90s! Not my thing really, although have just tried another coloured mascara that actually works!x
