This is the best mascara I have ever used. And I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I have used several different mascaras and this one is by far the best. I use my eyelash curler and then a few coats of this without letting it dry between coats. I try to add some extra to the outer lashes. Even though my lashes are already pretty dark and moderately long, this makes them look about a hundred times better. They look long and black and dramatic and gorgeous. It doesn't smear under your eyes throughout the day too much either. L'Oreal is the best!!

I have been all over the place with mascaras, from drugstore to department store, and I always seem to come back to this one.
I buy it in carbon black and it is the BLACKEST mascara I have ever used. Even more so than the much more expensive department store brands. (trust me, I've tried them all). This clumps just as much as the expensive mascaras, because it is so thick. For that I take away one lippie. So be careful when applying, because it does not take a lot of swipes before you're wearing too much.
I get excellent volume with this mascara.
If you want dramatic and dark lashes without applying falsies, this is the way to go. I especially recommend this to my dark haired/eyed sisters, because the blackness of this mascara in the carbon black shade can really make your eyes pop.

I love this! As I've said before, I have tried tons and tons of mascaras, and I absolutely love this. I use Maybelline The Colossal first, and then add this to the ends for extra drama, and it's gorgeous. Even on days when I use this (and only this) as my main mascara, it's great. It can get clumpy so it's best to be patient and careful, but the results are worth it. It seemed to dry out a little bit more quickly than others, but this was after a while. I have repurchased, and I will continue to do so!

Not only the best drug store mascara out there, but, imo, one of the best volumizing mascaras i have ever tried! And i have tried ALOT! It does get clumpy.. more so than department store brands, but it is still a beautiful mascara!

I love Voluminous. I worked for Clinique for years and tried probably every high dollar mascara out there, and I have to say, as far as volumizing mascaras go, this one is great! It can be clumpy, it is best to wipe the brush on the side of the opening of the tube, that way you are not wasting mascara by wiping it on a tissue. Also, FYI, even high dollar volumizing mascaras clump, because of the thickness, so why not use one that is easy on the wallet and still looks great! Try it!

Hands down, the best non-waterproof mascara out there. And, I have tried them all! Now, this stuff is thickening and a great color. I took off one lippie because occasionally, the stuff flakes. But, for a cheap price and excellent thickening power, you won't find a better mascara.

This is the BEST mascara i've ever tried! def. HG! i can't believe that i haven't tried this sooner. it gives me the full, luxious lashes i've always wanted with an interesting color. you can't really tell in the room, but under the sun or bright light, it's a tint of blue. the color sort of gives off the mysterious vibe, lol. Also, for $8.00, i'll DEF. repurchase.

This is probably my favorite mascara because I use it every day. It gives me that "boom look at my eyelashes" look that I want. Creates lots of volume and doesn't dry my eyelashes out...what more could you want?

don't recommend at all. did nothing for my lashes. in fact, it looked like a royal/electric blue - rather than a dark blue. save your money and buy maybelline.

I bought this to try a midnight blue mascara without lashing out too much cash, but I wasn't impressed at all. It didn't do much for me and it smudged.

A really nice mascara that adds a hint of blue to your lashes. Depending on the lighting, at times it can look really blue and other times, at a distance you wouldn't be able to distinguish it between dark blue or black. Overall, it's an exceptionally wonderful drugstore mascara that doesn't clump or flake.

This mascara works really well with no clumping or flaking as long as you use only one coat. One coat is all you really need anyway because it does it's job well and appears to thicken your lashes and it adds a bit of length. It was real hot outside today and I was sweating and the mascara, which was NOT the waterproof formulation, stayed put very, very well. My lashes also are very soft and not hard or brittle to the touch. The color is not really noticable if you are a brunette unless you REALLY look closely. I do believe that the slight blue pigment makes your eyes seem more refreshed and the whites of your eyes look less red. It perks up your eyes with the subtle blue undertones and is a great alternative to black because it is a bit more natural-looking for people with medium to dark hair.
