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 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.

I really like this mascara. I haven't tried many others before and got this one because it was recomended by one of my friends. I think it really adds volume and wears for a long time. My sister says its smells like tar.. I have heard others complain about this but I don't mind the smell.. Maybe Its just me? Overall a very good mascara.
I love this mascara. I have naturally long eyelashes and using this mascara just enhances them half a size more! I always get asked how my lashes are "soooo long". This mascara does not clump, it separates the lashes and volumizes. Would defiantly buy again in a heart beat... if I wasn't so into trying out different mascaras
I have short, straight, Asian eye lashes, and this is the only mascara that has every made a huge difference!!! My lashes look fuller, longer, and overall so great! I've gone through about 10 bottles and even though I've tried other mascaras this is always my favorite!
This is my favourite mascara so far. I have short, thin lashes and this product is perfect for them! I only have to use one or two coats and I actually have defined, long lashes after. There is no clumping whatsoever and doesn't look fake. Application is very easy. The only disadvantage is that it can flake off and give you smudged makeup under your eyes. Other than that great product, and I would definitely recommend it!
