On me, this mascara is horrible. I have stubby, stick-straight, medium length, Asian lashes, and the only thing it did was clump them up and drag them down. Although it did thicken a bit, it did not hold a curl. However, I'm pretty sure it'd look great on someone with naturally curled lashes. (My lucky, long-lashed friends often speak of its 'amazing' properties..)

This is by far the best mascara I have EVER used. I have tried many over the years trying to find the next best thing, but I always come back to this. It creates volume, lengthens my lashes, and lasts all day. What more could a girl ask for!? It wins the award for best mascara in my book!

I had heard so many good things about this mascara and was excited to try it, but it was actually really disappointing. It was only about $6, so I didn't waste much money on it, but I would definitely not buy it again.
For me it went on very clumpy and wet. I tried different techniques of putting it on, but it didn't seem to make a difference. It also flaked off a lot during the day. I found I could kind of make it work by layering a Covergirl mascara over it, but it doesn't really make sense to since I could just wear that mascara on its own and have a better result.
I'll probably just throw this in the garbage.

I'm trying out more mascara to find the one I'm gonna love alll the time as I used to wear mainly false eyelashes (trying to cut back on my false lash addiction!) .This is one of the best mascaras you can find at the drugstore. I personally love the package, it's sleek and classy plus I love how it feels. The brush is nice, my favorite kind of brush. The formula is wet and can be messy but just be more careful. Also be careful how much you put on because it will stick your lashes together if to much is used. With one coat you can see a noticeable difference, two coats looks huge and beautiful! Doesn't make your eyelashes stiff, they feel soft and flexible and I'm definitely not worried about it making my eyelashes snap off. So pretty much for how cheap it is you can't really go wrong, worth having for sure.

This mascara is awesome. Black, mouse like, thick, and gorgeous. For like 3 days. Until your formula does weird things and it turns clumpy and gross. This has happened twice. I can still use it, but it has to be in a timely fashion so I can successfully comb out clumps. Sighs. otherwise it would have 5 lippies.

Where has this been all my life? I am definitely a mascara junkie - I have super short, straight lash and ask a lot of the mascaras I purchase. I have been through so many, and never really found one that I loved, and committed to repurchasing ... until NOW. This stuff is a-mazing. Really. It lengthens, darkens, and holds the curl from my lash curler all day! Fan-tas-tic stuff! And its super cheap. I am happy to finally say .... HG MASCARA for me!

'This has been my HG mascara for almost 10 years, far better than any high end mascara and I'm still using this. Only a single coat is needed for maximum volume and does not clump and is easy to apply to lower lashes. 2 coats for the fake eyelash effect.

Did L'Oreal change the formula? I'm not getting the same effect anymore! This has been my "go to" mascara for years. I like switching up my make up, but there are those products out there that we go back to. I love this mascara! I find it kind of expensive; 10.99 Canadian, but I love it! :-)

The original voluminous has been in my mascara rotation for years. Love the way it volumizes and lengthens. Like a prior reviewer mentioned, L'oreal does animal testing and I hate that. However it is my understanding that animal testing is conducted on all ingredients on every cosmetic, so just because a cosmetic company does not perform actual animal testing themselves does not mean that the ingredients were not tested in their pure form before they mixed together a new mascara, eyeliner, etc.

This mascara is the best I have found. I have naturally long lashes but the tips are blonde so I need mascara to bring them out. Voluminous is the only mascara that with a few strokes of the brush make my lashes look like they are fake.

Nothing compares to this product. Every other mascara has made my eyelashes clump or after two coats they look "stringy" because the product is watery. Voluminous has a thick base so when you do multiple coats they perk up instead of looking droopy and like water hit them.

the best mascara! & it's very buildable to add more volume with no clumps!, I find the best method for application to be rolling the brush into your lash line and sweeping up!

I am a total mascara hoarder so when I say this is good, I REALLY mean it! I've bought it more than once, which is a huge feat for me. This stuff is really great--you can layer and layer for more volume and length without clumps, but one swipe can do you good for day-to-day. It's pretty cheap too. Best mascara I've ever used--including Dior, Lancome, and Chanel. The packaging can get a little clumpy around the rim after time, but it's nowhere near a dealbreaker for me. TRY IT!!

Yes, big fat lashes with one coat. That's great but after a few weeks, this starts to get thick and goopy and difficult to use. I find myself constantly wiping the brush which is a huge waste of product.

Horrible. It looks fine on the lashes, but the problem is that it smudges badly. Shortly after applying, mascara winds up under my eyes and smudged on my upper cheek. I've used a lot of mascaras, and this is one of the worst.

This is my ultimate favorite mascara. When I did makeup, I even told my clients to go get this macara instead of buying our $30 mascara. A lot of people complain about the lashes being so incredibly clumpy, that's the formula of this mascara. You really need to know how to apply this kind or else you'll be a clumpy mess. The ONLY thing that I don't like is that you have to scrub & scrub to get the mascara off :/
Other than that, I love it! People always ask what I wear :)

I love love love mascara. I can't leave home without it. I have blonde eyelashes and if I don't, I look tired/sick. I have tried a lot of mascaras, but this is the only one I have purchased more than once. It makes my lashes full and long, but most importantly (to me), they are still SOFT. Many other mascaras leave me with lashes I do not touch because I am afraid they will snap off. I do love this mascara though. I wanted to try the waterproof version, but I have read that it's not as good. This will be my go to mascara for sure. I am still hunting for a good waterproof one, though.

I've gone through at least a dozen tubes of this stuff. BEST mascara I have ever tried, and I've tried many. You will hear many other make-up artists rave about it as well. It's not too wet and not too dry, has never ever flaked on me, and is the only mascara that gives me lots of volume without clumping my lashes together.

It was so clumpy and wet that I had to throw it out. I know so many people rave about it, but it was terrible.
