L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara Carbon Black Reviews
-
Absolutely the best!
I love, love, love this mascara! It is absolutely amazing. The color is nice intense black, which is not very common for drugstore mascaras. It makes lashes full, soft, and long. It almost seems like you're wearing false lashes (in a good way). I have been a fan of original Voluminous mascaras, but this is by far my favorite. I love the full brush, I actually bent it to have a curved brush, just because I find it creates the best look on my eye. The formula is quite creamy (not for fans of super-thin mascaras), but it is very easy to apply, doesn't smudge or flake throughout the day, and I had a chance to test it in pretty much all weather conditions. The lashes stay full and pretty. For best results I zig-zag the brush at the base a couple of times, and then run the brush through the entire length 2-3 times too, so that the tips of lashes look natural. You can totally layer this mascara without getting any clumps or lashes glued together, no additional tools needed. Just make sure not to wait for the first layer to dry, cause if it is dry, I suspect, it might clump a bit, and might look thick on the tips. The packaging is standard for voluminous mascaras- nice plain tube, nice brush, everything made well. The price is amazing- you get this unbelievable mascara for a very reasonable price, and the bonus is super full, soft, gorgeous lashes. I have used a bunch of these already, and will keep buying this mascara. Thanks L'Oreal, please don't discontinue this great product! — 5 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

AMAZING
This is one of the best mascaras I've EVER tried. I had been looking for a good drugstore mascara that compares with Maybelline's the Falsies, and this one is 10 times better, even though Falsies is one of my favorites. It gives you HUGE dramatic lashes, and I've had multiple people ask me if I was wearing false lashes when I've been wearing this. It holds a curl for EVER, too. You get all this amazing volume and length in one coat too! If you put more than two coats, it starts clumping up on you, but thankfully you never really NEED to use that many. I have this in the waterproof formula, and it's not like a lot of other waterproof mascaras I've tried. It doesn't seem stuck on my lashes. I'm still able to gently pull at my lashes and some comes off, which means it's really easy to get off with makeup remover. It's not THE most sturdy mascara, waterproof-wise, but it does the job. If you go swimming with it on, it doesn't hold up that well, but if you're walking in the rain or something like that, it doesn't budge at all! I'd totally repurchase this. I think it's comparable to the original Voluminous mascara, which everyone I've ever met absolutely LOVES. — 8 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Great product
I always layer my mascaras for a false- lash effect, and I always start with this one. I wear 2 different ones - usually this with lash blast- but if I were to wear just one, it would be this one. — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

Good
I really like this. It makes nice big eyelashes and holds a curl. I always end up getting it all over me though. It can make a mess. I prefer the false fiber lash version by far. — 5 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Mixed feelings
This is the mascara I'm currently using. I only found the waterproof formula and since it's summer I thought it would work. I do love that it gives lots of volume without clumping and it lasts throughout the day. What I don't like is that at the end of the day, I see smudges on my lower lashes. Waterproof is not supposed to smudge! I'm still trying to figure out if it's my liner or this mascara. But then, when I try to remove it at night, I have a hard time and in the morning I see more smudges. I still give this mascara an 8 because of the volume it gives you without clumping! — 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 8 people said helpful

l'oreal voluminous
Hands down, best mascara I've ever used...and I've used a lot. Occasionally I decide that those fancy mascaras like BadGal and Diorshow would be amazing, but I always come back to L'oreal Voluminous because it's BETTER! and cheaper. The original is good also, but carbon black is my favorite because it's BLACK like super blackest black. It doesn't clump too much, it does what I want it to do - thickens, volumizes, lengthens. I'm not sure what else you could possibly want, especially if you want some bang for your buck. — 8 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 4 people said helpful

Not a fan
I have this in waterproof, and I wore it swimming and I had black everywhere around my eyes, and even when I'm not swimming it gets black smudges on my upper lid, not a fan and its extremely wet and I've had it for a while and it won't dry — 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Amazing
I used to layer on different mascaras to get the blackest black color (which came with LOTS of volume), but this mascara is amazing; two coats and I'm happy. Obsessed with this. Especially in waterproof. Always go with the carbon black voluminous! — 9 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
