Through the years, I always find myself going back to Voluminous, even when I find other mascaras that I like. Recently I have been using Jordana Best Extreme Lash, but I bought another tube of this because while Jordana gives me a dramatic, voluminous look, nothing competes with the soft, full look I get from Voluminous. I have actually started pairing the two for a super full, soft, and inky black look. I even throw in a final coat of L'Oreal Telescopic to define my lashes. A caveat about this product, though...a new tube doesn't pick up as much product on the brush the first few times you use it, and will require multiple coats. After you use it a few times, the brush picks up more mascara and it's easier to use.

I LOVE THIS. It gives great volume! It can be wet at first but after a while, it'll dry up more. ONE OF MY HG MASCARAS <33 continued >>

Im so dissapointed in this product. After hearing raving reviews and the enthousiasm of marlene from make-up geek with this mascara, I gave it a go. The voluminous mascara's havent been available in my country before a couple of weeks ago, so I was totally excited when i finally found it :) Anyway after trying it for a couple of times i cant deny the fact that im very dissapointed. It makes my lashes very black, but its also very clumpy. It doesnt really add a lot of length and cant hold a curl. Also it smudges on my eyelids, which is very annoying to remove every day.Gotta admitt that my eyelashes look very weird lately for some reason a lot have fallen out, so they're relatively short now. Maybe it look better when they get to their normal size again. Either way I will not repurchase

This is a very nice mascara that makes my absolutely average eyelashes very thick and black, but with a natural look. However, Maybelline Full and Soft just edges this out as my favorite because it does all that AND leaves me with soft lashes. However, I recommend that anyone looking for a lush natural look try this, and I would repurchase for myself in a pinch.

I love the wand design, and I love the way that it initially makes my lashes look very thick and lush.


I hate the way that it smudges, flakes, and irritates my eyes. I have tried both regular and waterproof versions, and they were both terrible. Within two hours, I had horrible raccoon eyes. Thumbs down. There's no way that I would repurchase.

I have a love hate relationship with this mascara. I ADORE the easy peezy wand that is simple and small enough to get around my tiny Asian eyes. I love that the formula is thickening and gives me length and volume in just two coats without clumps. I love that it is the blackest black I have ever worn in terms of mascara. I just love a lot of things about this mascara. The only thing I don't love, the only thing that's a deal breaker, is the fact that this mascara gives me crazy panda eyes. Both the waterproof and non-waterproof formula smudge under my eyes. I don't have this issue with any other mascara but this specific one, which is disappointing considering its so perfect during the first 30 minutes. I've switched from this to Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal in the bright yellow tube. So far so good with that one. It doesn't give me the same finish as Voluminous, but at least it doesn't smudge :(

I have the Loreal Vouminous Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black.
It is one of the best mascaras I have ever used! It holds curl beautifully, is dark, doesnt smudge, thickens AND lenghtens my lashes and is buildable(2 or 3 coats if desired). I love how it's affordable and works amazingly! BEST mascara!
