    So I bought two tubes of this mascara because it was on sale (4 bucks! wow) and I guessed that jinxed it. I've heard it being compared to Bad Gal lash which I don't love that much either but it was so affordable that I had to try it. It got super clumpy, not that lengthening and the volume started out really great but it all got stuck together.

    It does look great as one single sweep, very natural and separated but I'm a big lash gal and this just didn't cut it.

    I've bought this mascara on three occasions and I just don't like it. The third time I bought it in Carbon and it didn't make any difference. I find it's messy and my lashes get stuck together. I hear great things about this mascara and unfortunately it didn't work for me. This mascara is overrated IMO.

    I wanted to try a different mascara and tried this loreal voluminous mascara. I thought it would had volume and make my eyelashes appear to be thicker and fuller. However all it did was weigh my eyelashes down (maybe thats because i have long eyelashes to begin with). Also, there is not a lot of mascara that actually comes on the applicator so you have to apply and reapply a few times. On a positive note considering of all the applications, it did not clump or leak. Overall I was not impressed with the mascara.

    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.

    I had high hopes for this mascara upon reading other people's reviews. For me, this product is a night mare to wear and take off. It smudges within a couple hours leaving me with racoon like eyes. Furthermore, it takes forever to completely remove the product from your eyes. I use oils to take off my makeup and they generally do a very thorough job but with this product, I wake up with mascara smudges. =(

    It does give the appearence of thicker lashes but if I'm not careful with the application process, my lashes can come out looking clumpy. Too much trouble!

    After experimenting with numerous mascaras, I find Loreal's voluminous to be the best mascara to apply even compared to much more expensive lines.

    I have been using the mascara for many years now and it stays on the entire day. It does not smudge or flake. It is an awesome product to have!

    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 tried this mascara after reading the reviews on here. The price was cheaper than most mascaras and the quality was fair. I really liked the brush and the formula itself was very smooth! Plus the "Carbon Black" color was exactly was I was looking for. This mascara gave me a little bit of length, thickened my lashes, but didn't give them much curl. (Easily solved but using a lash curler first!) It did clump a little bit as you put on a few coats but nothing serious. Overall this is a great mascara for everyday use and a great price to match!
