I’ve went through many mascaras (from Drugstore brands to more expensive ones) and I find myself using this mascara for everyday wear. It does smudge a tiny bit when I work out and sweat, but other than that, I don’t find any major problems with smudging. I recommend buying the waterproof version as the bit of wax in the waterproof prevents the eyelashes from getting droopy by the end of the day.

I tried this mascara after all the reviews here. I am of a quest for the perfect mascara for me and it did not end here.
I have the biggest problem with racoon eyes. The only mascara I can use is Kiss Me Mascara. I still don't get long lashes from them. I have to admit, I love the way my lashes looked when I applied, but did not like the big smudges around my eyes 2 hours later. I wish Kiss Me Mascra could get me the length. My quset continues ...

L'Oreal - Voluminous mascara delivers by adding a good amount of length and volume. However, it does smudge a bit which is a serious pet peeve of mine. I recommend buying a primer or just buying a mascara that doesn't smudge.

I recently returned to Voluminous after a couple of years of using other products; this used to be my HG and when I caught it on sale in Shopper's at a time when I actually needed mascara I thought I'd reunite with an old favourite. But now...I kinda hate it. Ok I do have to take some responsibility because I bought this to serve as my daytime mascara when I just want my lashes to be lengthened and defined but not thicker, so buying something called VOLUMINOUS was not smart. However. I figured I would just endure having thick lashes for the month or however long it lasts. But two things about this mascara are really fretting me. One is that it is just waaaay too thick. Because I'm a cheapo, I don't just wipe the brush off on a tissue because it burns me to think of all the product I'm wasting. So I scrape it back into the tube and that alone takes me a good minute or two. There's sooo much to scrape off! It's just ridiculously thick in my opinion. The other thing is that it takes the curl out of my lashes. I always curl my lashes with a heated eyelash curler before putting on mascara and this just straightens them right back. I had a similar problem with Bad Gal so maybe it has something to do with whatever they put in mascara to increase volume. At any rate, this is still a very, very, good mascara, just not for me anymore. I doubt I'll repurchase when there are so many other kinds I still haven't tried...

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.

I used to never bother with mascara because they never seemed to work for me. But after reading some reviews about this product, I decided to give it a try. I was amazed at how this mascara made my eyelashes look fuller and longer. When I apply it, it doesn't smudge or flake. And I love that it's waterproof.

I'm currently using this mascara and I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. It seems to lengthen my lashes and adds some volume, but it's not quite what I'd hoped for. It doesn't separate my lashes without a really careful application and/or a lash comb. I've had only minimal problems with flaking. I already have long eyelashes, but they are pathetically thin, which is why I was drawn toward anything called Voluminous! It's perfectly good for the price, but probably better suited to girls with shorter lashes. I think it would give a bigger effect in that case. However, I've noticed that I have more good days with this mascara when I use a primer first.

I decided to give this mascara a try after I chucked out my old one. I have to say that it is a good everyday mascara, but I find that it doesn't do that much for me. I didn't find that it gave me that much more length or fullness that it claims to do. One thing that I didn't like was I found that it really does smudge easily. I'm sure that applying a little powder under the eyes could fix this.

On a better note, it feels very light and non irritating. I am a contact lens wearer, and this one I definitely would use when I wear them. By contrast, because it doesn't lengthen them that much, I find that I will have no problem with it getting on my glasses lens either! I also like how my lashes stay soft, giving more of a natural look. It comes at a reasonable price as well. Fairly effective, but I still prefer Maybelline Great Lash!

a really good basic mascara that does the job extremely well, nothing fancy and a great deal for the price. one of the best mascara brushes i have tried as well

I have to say, I love the primer that comes with this mascara. The packaging is absolutely huge and cumbersome, but the primer is worth lit alone. The mascara wand, however, that comes with this product is either difficult to use or the mascara itself tends towards clumpiness. I found that after working with it for a week or so, I could keep the "spider legs" effect at bay, but you have to be super careful when applying it. I doubt I'd buy it again, although I'm keeping my tube in my makeup case to use with a different wand on certain occasions.
