Wonderful mascara, I love it~!

I was looking for something long-lasting, actually BLACK, and something that would make my lashes longer because they are short and hard to grow out, and I got all of that in this mascara. I was very very satisfied with this product and I mean that in the most genuine way. The color (Carbon Black) is very nice, just what I wanted-- a nice dark black to define my lashes against my semi dark eyeshadow. The definition and the length it gives me is amazing; I read the reviews before purchasing of course and I was like "It can't be THAT great...". Well, it was. I can't say that I've ever had a mascara that I like this much. It stays on well throughout the whole day too, no smudges, doesn't feel wet either. No crumbles as well (an amazing feat. to pull off). I'm in love. I've gotten so many compliments too. I fully recommend to anyone on the fence of buying.

15 years and counting... one of my favorite mascaras.

I've been using the Voluminous Carbon Black Waterproof Mascara for over 15 years and I love it. I get watery eyes and this never fails. It stays in the water but easy to get off when needed, I use Neutrogena foaming facial cleanser and it comes off without ripping my lashes off. I also have sensitive eyes and this does not burn or cause irritation at all. I like the old school wand, and it does not clump unless its getting empty. No need to reapply and you don't need to wonder if its smearing during the day. Even with sunscreen and a day at the beach it lasts. Highly Recommended.

Vibrant and Lovely

So very blue! This mascara is not wimpy at all. The blue is vibrant and has a nice thickness. People noticed my blue eyelashes from down the hallways at work, so it does not need to be seen up close to be appreciated by others. I am madly.in love with this product.

Beautiful blue mascara

This mascara is so gorgeous. I get compliments every time I wear it. The color is blue but almost a purple kind of blue. I have blue eyes and it really brings out the color of my eyes. I wear it to work or when I’m going out and black just seems too boring. It is easy to remove but doesn’t rub off during the day. It also goes on so nicely and doesn’t clump. I use one coat and it is perfect!

Wait a few seconds before applying the second coat ( you do not want it to still be completely wet as it will clump your lashes

I read the reviews on this prior to purchasing, due to the fact, I have such small lashes I am constantly trying to find some kind of mascara that makes them look longer and fuller. So when this came in I went straight to a mirror to try it out. There are a few things you need to watch when using this product. 1. Make sure when you open it it is not all clumped together. 2. wipe off all the excess on the brush 3. Start at the base of your eyelash and work to the tip 4. Wait a few seconds before applying the second coat ( you do not want it to still be completely wet as it will clump your lashes together) And we all no how bad it will be if they are completely dry. This mascara will make you lashes look long and beautiful. I absolutely love this mascara and the price is a lot cheaper than any drugstore. I love L'Oreal's mascara and the volume and length you get from this is amazing. When I take a few minutes to put this on I get tons of compliments on my eyes. It is also extremely easy to remove I use lotion or soap. And it is hard to believe but with lotion it will come right off so much quicker than anything else. I hope this review helped some one.

After Dozens of Brands This is My Favorite with Just a Couple Gripes

At forty-something, I have used dozens of brands of mascara. ...From Mary Kay to Cover Girl. I have naturally long lashes, but I am blonde and fair. I need mascara to make my lashes pop. And, I swear this actually adds length onto your lashes. I refuse to get on the fake eyelash bandwagon. Frankly, it sounds like a pain. I don’t think I need them. At least, not with L’Orėal Voluminous Original Mascara. I rediscovered this mascara a couple years ago. I had worn it as a young adult and somehow lost track of the brand. Never again! I get compliments when I wear it. I even get asked if my lashes are my own. Criticisms? Sometimes it can come out of the bottle a little gloppy. I just keep a roll of paper towels in the bathroom. When it does look gloppy, I brush it lightly on the paper towel first to take off excess. Simple as that. Otherwise it goes on beautifully. The only other issue is this mascara is a booger to get off. A simple facial wipe may not do the trick without rubbing at your eyes too vigorously. Take it from someone my age, you don’t want to rub at your eyes. That’s how you end up with baggy eyelids and under eyes. Make sure you have eye remover makeup (I use either a cream based one or an organic liquid I found) with your facial tissues (I use Amazon’s Vitamin C wipes and love them). Just remember to take care of your skin after you take off your makeup. Put that moisturizer and under eye cream on before bed. If you do that and stay out of the sun without sunscreen, your face will thank you as you age. And, you will look even better with this mascara for years to come! I’d recommend this product. An added bonus is it’s so reasonable on Amazon. Please click/tap on the yes icon if you found something helpful in my review. Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is a great mascara. It goes on smoothly

This is a great mascara. It goes on smoothly, no clumps, and stays all day. I don't have to worry about smudges or smears beneath the eyes. This is truly a waterproof mascara. I can go swimming, or take a bath, and it still looks fabulous! It comes off easily when I want it too. With my casual summer job, I have even worked with "yesterday's mascara", just washing the rest of my face.

BEST DRUG STORE BRAND! HANDS DOWN!

I came home to find this at my doorstep and immediately went inside to apply. (Make-up wh0re here!) I am so happy with it! I feel about it the way I felt when I applied 'They're Real' by Benefit: AMAZED!! I could go on about all the high-priced mascaras I have tried (They're so Big, Definicils, etc.). The only drug store brand I liked this much was Maybelline "Lash Stylist".. and it was discontinued. I've never been one to cry over discontinued make-up products. I have SO MANY in my arsenal, I don't have time to get attached, but I may have shed a tear or two when this one no longer graced the shelves or my lashes. [sad face] I have used this mascara once. Minutes ago. I may use it tomorrow or the next day and be underwhelmed. I doubt that. It may dry out sooner than I would like, i.e., with 2 weeks of daily use, that is possible. I WILL update if something tarnishes the reputation I just confirmed (in my own mind) because mascara is a serious matter and if my review helps only one girl (or guy.. no judgement) I will be happy. As far as I can tell, Wayne Goss was right.

My go-to mascara

I'm part of a subscription service that sends me samples of makeup every month. I've gotten numerous tubes of more expensive brand mascara but so far this beats them all. Okay, for volume I've liked some of the others better and would choose them for an evening out, but for every day, all day wear this is hands down my favorite. It doesn't seem to add a lot of volume, but I've noticed that while my lashes on one eye have always been straighter, this seems to curl them just a bit. It comes off with soap and water but I can go from 8 in the morning until 9 or 10 at night (including falling asleep on the couch for an hour) without this creating any noticeable smudges. I used to never be a mascara wearer, but this is now my #1 item in my makeup bag.
