    I LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

    I have long, dark lashes as it is, so I don't need length, or anything for that matter. But what I want is volume and this product delivers. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for people who want their lashes to look really natural. Although you can use it that way, this is a great product for those who want to pump up the volume and make their lashes really pop.

    I've tried other mascaras in between, but I always go back to this one. Other mascaras look to natural on me. It's nice and all, but I really like to draw the focus to my eyes, and this product really works well for that.

    I have the 'Carbon Black' and I totally give two thumbs up on this product. It's a great price and quality product -- you definitely can't beat that.

    My favorite drugstore mascara thus far. Dramatically thicker lashes. Definition. Length. Elegant packaging.

    Before getting the Voluminous mascara in carbon black i did some research on the internet, and I found very good reviews on this one, so I told myself I gotta get this soon!!! Next thing I did was to get a coupon which I got on the website of L'oreal, and I got my coupons days after. Once I had the coupon in my hands, I run to the store near my house "Maxi" and bought it. I ended up paying around 3 dollars canadian for this wonderful mascara because it was also on sale that day!!!
    My lashes are already long, but when I put the mascara on I had them really long and with lots of volume as well , and I also love the color, it leaves your lashes really dark that matches just perfect my dark hair, it just looks great on smoky eyes too. I really love this mascara, is one of my top 5 favorites!!!
    XOXO.

    This mascara is always in my kit! I use the waterproof variety on my bridal clients and on photoshoots. This mascara gives great volume without the clumps and stays where you want it to be all day!! I love this mascara!

    This is defintally my favorite mascara. I bought it one day during a dire situation at a dance competition and fell in love with. It lengthens without making your eyelashes look clumpy. It also stay on all day. It works well to dress up or dress down. I would recommend it to anyone.

    I'm usually a fan of L'oreal products as they are a sister brand to Lancome, my favorite makeup, but I wasn't impressed with this product. I had heard so many great things about it in magazine and since I love Lancome and have used other Loreal products and liked them as well, I decided to give it a try. I wanted to see if I could find a less expensive mascara that worked as well as Lancomes.

    I purchased the product in it's newest colour: carbon black. I tried it as soon as I got home and wasn't really impressed. It was ok, didn't really clump which is a plus, but it didn't deliver much volume for me. Perhaps if I had kept on going after 3 coats it would have, but I don't want to be putting on mascara for 20 minutes every day. I liked their new extra volume collagen a lot better as it went on smoother, glossier, and thicker.

    If you're looking for a lot of volume and thickness I don't think this is the greatest mascara to buy, but I'm really picky about my mascara and now that I've switched to department store brands it's hard to review drugstore ones without being a little bit overly critical. If you want decent volume at a lower price I'd suggest you try the extra volume collagen by Loreal, I liked it a lot better than this one.

    I love this mascara. It really really volumizes. However, after like month, the brush got clumpy ish, but I just had to remove the excess mascara. So, it's okay!

    I do have quite a few make-up obsessions, and mascara is one of them. Unlike my bronzer problem, I prefer drugstore brands to “prestige” labels. I go through mascara too frequently to be spending $30 on the stuff. Although once every couple of years I do go out and by the "good stuff," just to make sure I’m not missing anything.

    Lately mascara has been the bane of my existence. I’m not sure but my eyelashes don’t seem to be as thick as they used to be. So mascara has been a must for me. I used to adore Maybelline’s Great Lash, but lately, there has been nothing great about my lashes.

    I went back to L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in black. I haven’t used this stuff in years, and at first I wondered why I left. L’Oreal’s Voluminous Mascara gave me thick and long lashes. I had forgotten what thick and long lashes look like.

    The only draw back, the reason I stopped using it in the first place, after about a week of use, the mascara isn’t the same. It starts to clump more, but for those gorgeous lashes, I may start buying this product on a bi-weekly basis.
