    Loreal Carbon Black Mascara is a very good mascara. When I used it, it didn't really clump up my eyelashes together. If you do a single coat first and let the individual eyelash strands to dry for a couple seconds, and then apply a second coat on top, it will really extend and extentuate your eyelashes. I've noticed that my eyelashes looked bolder and more fuller. I highly recommend this type of mascara if you want to get nice, big, black eyelashes.

    If you already love Loreal Volumous Mascara you are going to LOVE it's sister product Loreal Volumous Natural Mascara. This mascara defines, lengthens, thickens and creates lashes that appear as if you are wearing fake lashes.

    Loreal Volumous Mascara is a great product as well BUT as I have heard and personally figured out it CLUMPS immensely. Luckily Loreal has figured out how to change this with the Natural version. The brush features a silicone brush that prevents clumping unlike other brushes that easily get filled with too much product. The silicone brush makes it easy to get every single lash and makes it easy to get incredible volume!

    I have already purchased 3 tubes of this mascara and am definitely not disappointed with it at all. No need to spend anything over 10$ on mascara girls (and boys!) loreal is affordable, easily accessible and AMAZING. I definitely suggest you get a tube!

    I purchased this after hearing about it from a friend that always had dramatic, huge, dark lashes. I figured I'd give it a try, and it was relatively cheap (even as drugstore mascaras go), so why not? The first thing I noticed was how inky black the formula was. It didn't have a weird smell or anything, so that was good. It was a very dark black. When I put it on my lashes, WOW! I was amazed. It made my short lashes look full and DARK! It also had some lengthening and defining properties for me. I love this mascara.

    PROS:
    -very black
    -brush easy to work with
    -makes lashes look more voluminous
    -defines lashes
    -makes my lashes look longer
    -very buildable

    CONS:
    -a bit difficult to remove

    This is the only mascara I have bought in the last 3 years. I love it. My lashes look thicker and longer with no clumping. I do think there has been a formula change recently because the last 2 I bought does not stay put like it has in the past. After a couple of hours I find that it starts to make it's way down under my eyes. I need to wipe under my eyes to make sure I don't end up looking like a raccoon.

    I'm a sucker when it comes to flashy packages and overrated new products. So I always end up with some vibrating rubber brush with a light attached "made with titanium" ridiculous mascara when I go try a new one and I always hate them.
    To be safe I went with everyone's favourite "Greatlash" after giving up on trying new ones.

    But one day my own ran out so I borrowed my boyfriend's mascara, Simple black package, no glitter or anything in my face, and his is AMAZING. The price was a little steeper than I'm used to, Greatlash can be picked up in my area for $5, and L'Oreal's cost my boyfriend $12. But I love the creaminess of the formula, It is EXTREMELY black, and I can reapply it many times in a day without it getting clumpy. I wear falsies almost every day, and when I want to put mascara around my fake eyelashes I don't have to worry about it becoming a big stuck-together mess anymore. I am very happy with this mascara.

    I have full long lashes to begin with, but they are white/blond.

    I have tried several other mascara's in a wide range of prices. I found some that are as good as this one, even better - except they flake and give me "fall-out". Voluminous doesn't do that, it stays stuck to my lashes all day.

    This mascara is fantastic! With just one sweep, you can achieve a dramatic look. I tend to apply 3 coats, which gives me extra long lashes, super volume and a little bit of 'clump' which I like. This has been a staple in my make-up collection for years. I highly recommend it!

    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.

    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.
