This is one of my favorite mascaras, and I just finished a tube. I wasn't blessed with the fullest and longest lashes, so I was excited to try this. It was a good choice because it made my lashes look natural yet dramatic. Not only did it give a little volume, but it lengthened my lashes as well. The downfall was that it dried quickly, so I had to apply it faster than usual. It also clumped after three coats, but I usually stop at three, so it didn't bother me at all. This is a great mascara, so I will definitely repurchase.

I love this mascara and I've tried so many other maybe plume mascara before but this one was great, it gave me the volume and length I wanted and I had absolutely no problems with clumping! The only issue I had was mine went bad and started flaking pretty fast like after a week and a half. Otherwise it's a great product and easy to kind in my makeup bag because of its bright yellow tube!

Mascara is great. Doesn't clump and makes my lashes look fuller and longer (mainly fuller). It was $5 at my Target and I would buy this product again.

This mascara is all you can ask for and more! Remember that this is a volumizing mascara, so don't expect incredible length to accompany it. But, as far as volumizing is concerned, it does an awesome job at it! My thinned out, straight lashes look so big and flirty with this stuff! The waterproof kind holds the best curl all day long. It does start to flake a little towards the end of the bottle (I buy a new bottle every 3 months), but it has never smeared for me. A lot of people complain about the smell, but here's my two cents about it: yes, it does smell, but I know this because I held the bottle directly up to my nose and took a whiff. So in other words, the smell is a teeny tiny drawback to this gem of a mascara! Its very buildable, so you can go as dramatic or natural as you please. Not to mention the great price ($7.99 USD @ Walgreens) and the adorable bottle, this mascara is an all-around win!

The best mascara I have used by far. Separates all my lashes and makes them look huge. Adds length and volume. The formula is wonderful and the dark brown is not too harsh for my fair skin and light hair. The tube is bright and easy to find in my makeup bag, and the shape is easy to hold. The brush shape is easy to use and gets all the little lashes. It is also a good size to use on my bottom lashes. I have had trouble with other mascaras being too thick for my bottom lashes, but this product works for those as well as maxing out my top lashes. The formula stays on all day, and doesn't dry up. I didn't have to throw out the tube until my usual 6-month time limit (for bacteria/sanitation).
Will definitely buy again; I switched to another mascara to try it out and I can't wait to go back to Volum' Express.

Favourite Mascara at the moment. c:
It does a lot for my short, straight asian lashes. This mascara is buildable and able to give you dramatic lashes that seem long and thick. When I wear this mascara i get heaps of people telling me that my eyelashes look "super long and pretty". It doesn't clump at all, and just a few coats you can get your dream lashes. It curls your eyelashes without you needing to curl them so it gives them a nice natural flick that really opens up your eyes.

The only problem is that sometimes it flakes but that is easily solved by you gently removing the black residue unbder your eyes with your fingers every now and then.

Like most mascaras, the formula is a bit too wet when you first buy it but give it a week or two and it's perfect.

It does miracles for your lashes, definitely repurchasing.

I'm on my third or fourth tube of this mascara and I love it..it's affordable, and if applied properly it'll do what it promises to your lashes.

PROS
-does not dry up quickly
-doesn't have an unpleasant odor
-easily separates every single one of my lashes
-lengthens my lashes
-the brush lets me get to every part of my lashes..even the inner and outer corners
-the washable version comes off quickly
-it's super affordable (5$ at my local drugstore)
-available at almost every drugstore

CONS
-it doesn't really provide as much volume as it promises

I got this product on sale at Rite Aid about a year and a half ago and used it until I got the Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara. I recently tossed this one for health reasons because I haven't used it in a while. I do remember really liking it though. It went on smoothly and didn't clump. It also had a nice floral-y fragrance to it. I would definitely repurchase and I do recommend.

I just recently bought this product after reading some reviews and I got the color in glam black. It is probably the best mascara I've tried! It leaves your lashes looking very sleek and thick. It doesn't clump and stays on lashes all day. It definitely gives you flirty lashes!! I would purchase again for sure.
