L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara is certainly true to its name. It's quite voluminous. I've got skimpy Asian lashes, so I'm always looking for mascaras which give me volume and length. This mascara delivers for me and is my go-to mascara. One coat and I've got decent lashes - not fake looking by any means but certainly not skimpy. Two or three coats and they're long and lush. As an added bonus, Voluminous also keeps my lashes soft (not stiff) and curled. Oh and the best part, I forgot all about the best part, is that it costs less than $10 CAD - one third the price of Diorshow which I find gives me the same results. My one complaint about Voluminous is that it does smudge a bit under my eyes at the end of the day. But I have oily lids/skin so I realize this may not happen to everyone. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Voluminous to anyone looking for dramatic lashes. -

Diorshow was my first expensive mascara purchase, after I heard how using Diorshow with Shiseido Mascara Base would give you lashes to die for. In mascaras, I look for length and volume, since I have the world's skimpiest eyelashes. Diorshow certainly does deliver in these two aspects - it adds a lot of volume and a very respectable amount of length. No one's going to mistake my lashes for fakes after using Diorshow, but they certainly wouldn't be called skimpy by any means. However, I'm not overly enthusiastic about this mascara. First of all, this is a pricey mascara (as you would expect from any Christian Dior cosmetic) at approximately $30, and since you need to throw it out every 3 months, the dollars quickly add up. In addition, I found the mascara clumps quickly when you apply a second coat, which means you'll be spending a lot of time combing out your lashes. And finally on a related note, it found the mascara dried up so quickly - so ridiculously quickly that if I weren't such a cheap ass, I'd throw out the mascara after two months. Diorshow works well, but there are better mascaras out there and hopefully they won't come at such a high price either! -

Sorry to bring down the reviews everyone, but this mascara was only okay for me. In mascaras, I'm looking for the works (lengthening and volumizing) since I have skimpy Asian eyelashes. Curling and non-smudging are bonuses too. While Kiss Me is definitely non-smudging, I find it doesn't give me the volume or length I desire. I only seem to get length by applying three coats of the mascara, however my lashes then start to clump together. I find this mascara good for definition, so I use it more on my lower lashes than my upper lashes. I suspect this will make a great everyday mascara for people with already decent lashes. But those of us who are looking for drama in a tube of mascara, this isn't for you. -
