    I really like this mascara. My lashes are very short and this really gives it volume and length. It doesn't really clump or anything and I really like how dark it is. It is definitely a must-buy since the price is very affordable also.

    This mascara is hands down the best one out there. I love the length and volume it gives me and I like how dark and black it is. I don't think I will ever go back to using any other mascara again. And it is a ridiculously low price at Wal Mart.

    This mascara is very simular to Chanel Intimitable, but without the price!!! It provides great length and fullness without getting clumpy. The brush is just basic, but gives you the perfect control to add more mascara or shape your lashes with the mascara brush. Its a fabulous, inexpensive mascara that works!!! Its also very easy to remove with my regular facial cleanser.

    This is my mascara staple. I wear a very natural makeup look daily and for events, but I LOVE lashes, lashes, lashes! I find the L'Oreal Voluminous (blackest black :)) goes on well from the first coat and builds noticeable volume with every additional application. I recently tries the new Voluminous Million Lashes, but don't find it gives that same "oomph" that the traditional Voluminous offers.

    This mascara really delivers! I was getting really tired of my usual mascara (hint: it comes in an orange tube and claims to boost volume) and wanted a change. I've never tried any L'Oreal mascaras, but I've always heard good things about L'Oreal's regular Voluminous mascara. I opted for the Carbon Black because I love super black mascara and I wanted something that could build up and be super dramatic. This mascara is definitely intense and way better than the mascara I was using before. I don't find it at all clumpy and the brush is a manageable size. I can put on anywhere from one to three coats without getting tarantula leg lashes that stick together. It's truly amazing!

    If there is a downside, it's that it is a bit tough to remove completely (I use the regular non-waterproof kind). I find that it leaves black smudges under my eyes after I wash it off, but I can wipe those off easily with a tissue or Q-tip.

    My lashes were all clumpy after I used this mascara. I think there's too much product on the wand but I noticed that if I quickly apply the product, the clumps tend to disappear. I don't think I'll repurchase the Voluminous because of its clumping factor!

    This mascara made my lashes look super full and long! The first coat, gives a nice natural look, but if you want it to look dramatic, you can double the coat. It lengthens and defines lashes with minimal clumping and it holds your curl for quite some time. The downside to this though is that it can be difficult to get off even if you use a make up remover. But overall, i love how this mascara makes my lashes longer and fuller! :)

    I recieved this product free for review, and it's done wonderful things for my lashes!
    I've used this mascara for 5 dayes now and I've gotten compliments on my lash volume 4 out of 5 days.. I love how thick (but not clumpy) the mascara goes on and I love how simple the brush it (no bells and wistle or crazy gimmicks)

    The price is right and the quality is top!
    If you are looking for a trust worthy mascara that will do what it says - this is you product!

    This was my first time trying a L'Oreal mascara, and it was a pleasant surprise. Its price is pretty standard. What I loved about it is that it adds so much length and volume to the lashes without having to constantly re-apply. If you're looking for truly voluminous lashes, this is the one to go for. One or two coats goes a long way with this one and gives you that extra va-va-voom. My only criticism would be that it can clump a little bit on your lashes, which is why it's not a 5-star product. But with the help of a lash brush, it does its job pretty well. For now, I'm sticking with it!

    Color I Use: Carbon Black

    Pros:
    For the price, I really think you're hard pressed to find a better mascara. I love this stuff! I've tried plenty of higher end, more expensive brands yet I always come back to this mascara.
    It really does give your lashes volume and average length. I use this in brown or black everyday and carbon black at night (see there is a difference between black and carbon black).
    Easily one of the best mascara's I use.
    Cons:
    Sometimes it can occasionally clump, but really not often. If you wipe off the excess before you apply it really won't clump at all.
