This mascara does exactly as it says it is suppose to do! My lashes does look naturally longer, and they are so pretty. It lenghtens really well, but it doesn't voluminize. I felt that it did hold a curl pretty well, but it's not that great. I do have stick straight asian lashes though. I got mine in blackest black, and my lashes still look natural. Also it has this really bad funky smell too it, so that might bother some people. Otherwise, this mascara is great if you want to have naturally long lashes.

This was pleasant. :)

Originally I used my cousin's, and I thought it was wonderful, and got myself a tube when I got back to America.

It was completely different from the effect of my cousin's tube, but still not bad.

Don't try anything funny with this mascara, as the name says, it's meant to give you pretty, natural lashes.

It thickens and lengthens and curls, a little bit of each. The overall finished look is
simply
pretty. :)

Definitely would recommend if my description of it is what you're looking for. :)

Wow, this is the first drugstore mascara that actually impressed me. I was skeptical, but Walgreen's was having a BOGO.

It does give my lashes oompf, without the huge fake lashes look (which I typically love). This looks better than nothing, but not overwhelming. Doesn't clump, smudge or flake. I started using this on the weekends, and now I seem to use it weekdays too.

Woefully unimpressed with this one...

I am somewhat of a mascara junkie and love trying out new ones. This mascara is normally quite spendy for a drugstore mascara at between $12-16 Canadian but when I saw it on sale for 50% off I snatched one up right away.

Waste of cash I'm afraid....the advertised 'super soft' bristles glob together and the formula is very thick and gloppy. It clumps like crazy, takes forever to dry, makes lashes look spidery and flakes like crazy. YUCK.

I seriously couldn't wash this stuff off quickly enough. Wouldn't repurchase nor do I recommend.

I am really liking this mascara! I wasn't sure how the results would be since it is called "natural" and I equated that w. drama-less, but there is definite separation, and feather-like lashes as as result. Definitely great for every-day, yet very noticeable...I just love it. I think this mascara gives me the best results of many I have tried recently (including Lash Blast-NO comparison). Definitely worth a try.

Creates nice natural looking lashes! This mascara makes my lashes a little longer and a little fuller without making them brittle looking. No flaking either. Unfortunately, it has the tendency to smudge on me and is not very good at holding curls. Still, this mascara is one of the better mascaras I have tried.

Previously Max Factor's 2000 Calorie was my fav mascara until I bought Bare Naturale Mascara. It not only lengthens your lashes but it also adds volume to it. This is a must have!

I was using Clinique's Lash Power mascara and I really liked that. However, the price was getting to be a bit much... And after awhile, the product just started clumping and flaking. So I decided it was time for something new. I read reviews on L'Oreal's Bare Naturale mascara and decided to buy it. The price was kinda expensive... Especially for a drugstore brand.

I put it on my right eye, and put Clinique's Lash Power on my left eye to compare. They both give the same amazing length, however I don't like the brush that L'Oreal has for this particular mascara. Since I've been using Lash Power for so long and have gotten used to their small brush, the size of Bare Naturale's was harder for me to manipulate. It doesn't dry as fast as Lash Power, so I tend to get some mascara on my bottom eye when I blink. It smudges when I rub my eyes (after it has complete dried), and when I yawn, I get a bit of raccoon eyes, something that Lash Power never gave me. However, what I REALLY liked about Bare Naturale was the fact that it made my eyelashes look very... well, natural. It doesn't clump, give me spider legs or make my lashes look stiff. Overall a very good product, and I would repurchase it again if it were smudgeproof as I tend to rub my eyes a lot.

I had a $2.00 off coupon, so I decided to give this one a try. I'm glad I did...it gives my lashes nice definition and length. Cheaper brands of mascara usually end up flaking, but not this one. My favorite mascara of all time is Lancome Definicils, but I really wanted to try something new and less costly. I will definitely purchase this one again.

So i've been on a serious mascara kick and picked this one up after i decided y not? anyway, i really like how this seperates my lashes and provide a generous amount length at the same time. It's very soft and hence natural looking as it claims and i actually like this one better than prescriptives false eyelashes mascara, alot better honestly. Good find for cheap and to continue the quest im off to try maybelline's full and soft mascara next and then some by elizabeth arden. Highly recommended!

i was tired of only using one mascara and since it said natural i wanted to try it, also the picture looked pretty haha. this mascara, i didnt like at first but i gave it another try and we're cool now :) this mascara is like the covergirl lashblast, but i guess thicker or just more noticable and can have 1-2 little clumps. but this is pretty light and natural just not as light as the lashblast.

My lashes are fairly thick and long without mascara. And they are very black, so you would think that any mascara would make 'em look pretty good. Wrong. This stuff clumped with one coat, and smudged under my eyes. It costs more than I would like for a mascara that just makes my eyes look a mess.
But, it gets 4 lippies because even though it flaked into my eyes a bit, it didn't burn or sting which is amazing since I have sensitive eyes! Maybe I just got a bad tube or something, but I won't be rebuying.

I think this is the perfect everyday mascara. I bought this in the Black color, and I like that the color isn't overbearing. However, I feel like if you don't put this on correctly, then it will do absolutely nothing for you besides darken your lashes. When I'm in a rush I will just quickly put it on, and it won't look very good but when I look down onto a mirror and apply the mascara from the base to the top very slowly, it really lengthens my lashes..but not to a point where they look fake. I like that it lengthens my lashes without clumping or looking fiber-y at the tips.

Cons:
-If I don't curl my eyelashes up, it will smudge my lower lashline
-I have to curl my eyelashes after I put the mascara on in order for the curl to hold...however, it really does hold when I do this (I play softball and my lashes still looked perfect after a hard hot practice)
-If you try to make your lashes look more dramatic with this by layering it, it starts to clump a lot ... I wouldn't recommend applying this mascara over already dried mascara.

First of all,I need to say my lashes are pretty long with no volume.(Asian lushes if you can imagine) I just bought this mascara when there was a 40% off discount.I like this mascara a lot over the Avon wash off waterproof mascara.The L'Oreal mascara gives my lashes so much volume that my lashes actually stands out and the blackest black version is so black that it creates a nice natural looking eye line.I have to agree with some of the reviews claiming that the mascara is very wet so I need to be careful separating the lashes.So when I apply it,I use the front of the bristle instead of combing the lashes upwards.Also,I find that it has the best result if I only apply 1-2 coats.I usually just apply another coat mainly on the root so it makes the lashes fuller and natural.It claims on the package that it is 100% not clumpy....NOT TRUE.....it clumps like crazy if applied more than 2 coats.It lengthens my lashes pretty well but I am quite sure that there are other mascaras would do a better job than this one.I love that this mascara does not smudge at all.I forgot to remove the mascara before I went to bed and the next day,I did not see any smudging at all so I am really impressed about it.The mascara tends to weigh lashes down if you apply too much and I think it happens to every mascara.I think mascaras gives more volume tends to weigh lashes downI love to curl my lashes after I apply mascara gently and it keeps the curl all day.I would repurchase this product since it is a good one with 85% natural ingredients and it is so much cheaper than the department store brands.Get one when it is on sale.I hope this review helps.Thank you...

UPDATE:I tried to use this mascara with a rimmel bristle and it is just perfect.....no clumping,very natural looking.....perfect....LOVE IT
Another UPDATE:It tries out pretty quickly so you need to get a new one after 3 months.It can be a good reminder to throw it away.(make sure you don't pump air into the tube,that will make any of your mascara last a bit longer)

First off, I got this mascara for $2 because I had a coupon for $5 off, so this mascara was dirt cheap! This is an AMAZING mascara, and that's saying a lot because I'm a mascara junkie. I could live without all other makeup, but not my mascara. The brush on this is quite large but has very soft bristles. The mascara gave me a LOT more volume (without any clumping) than I expected, but yet my eyelashes still looked natural--not like spidery falsies. This mascara lengthened my lashes and made them very full. The curling power was average to above average. My only complaint is that my eyelashes felt a little bit heavier after wearing this mascara, if that made sense. It made my eyes feel a little weighed down and tired. Overall, I love this mascara and would definately repurchase especially if I had another $5 off coupon.

Not very impressed with it so I won't buy it again! Again, your choice depends on what you are looking for ~

Pros:
- great packaging (very attractice I must say)
- sexy name (LOL)
- great formula (not too watery, clean and fast)
- soft bristles
- nice definition
- long bottle (a lot of product in it)

Cons:
- not very much volume unfortunately
- expensive (for a drugstore brand)
- not much color payoff
- so-so length
- it should build up much better than it does

i checked out this mascara on MUA before purchasing- was happy i did. so far it has been great- it isn't gloppy, however i run the brush on some tissue to remove excess first. removes easily, doesn't flake! will probably buy again, especially if i have a coupon!

One of the best mascaras ive come across. i usually dont like buying mascara, i just ask for samples at lancome/prescriptives counters and i end up getting enough to always last me forever.

this mascara goes on easily and doesnt clump much. darkens your lashes with out making them spidery.

the brush might not have much to it, its pretty basic. but it works for me, i dont apply any to my bottom lashes anyway.

i also wear contacts and this hasnt bothered my eyes at all.

i bought this as part of a 3-set for $9 at walmart, that also included eyeshadow and eyeliner. so it was basically only $3. it was a great deal.

I liked the way this made my lashes look, natural but with volume & they felt really soft. However, the mascara began to flake & if it was really hot out the mascara would smudge. For me smudging equals 'no no'.
