I bought this in black brown or brown black, whatever it's called. I don't really care for the mascara. It dries really quickly and it's very thin. I know it's supposed to look natural but I don't think it does because it leaves my lashes sort of matte. I HATE the brush. It's so flimsy. I feel like it's going to snap in two everytime I slide it back into the tube. It only clumps a teeny bit, and it doesn't leave my lashes crunchy or itchy. So, it's not horrible but I definitely would not re-purchase.

I was gifted this product and would totally buy it myself. I found it great for day time . It did not give me too much volume which I liked because I personally don't like to much drama for work. It gave me good length and separation.. just like the name.. NATURALE ! Give it a try ;-)

I bought this in a buy one get one sale at meijer for about $6. I didnt see much volume when i used this, but rather length. This clumped my lashes together a little more than i would have liked, but i still love this mascara!

bought this to try in hopes to find something with more volume and cheaper than my clinique Lash Power-

Pros-
Price- $6 at target, not on sale-this is the cheapest or one of hte cheapest mascara's that L'Oreal makes.

I like that the formula itself doesnt smudge on me (everything usually does) , it also built volume and length fairly easy

tube redesigned to remove extra - it actually works!

cons-
the wand is horrible. it is so flexible and it bends coming out of the tube

its very messy to apply- i end up having to clean the top of my lids off and retouching makeup.

takes forever to dry

all in all, i dont think i will repurchase this, but it isnt bad for budget and in a pinch

The formula dries in the tube quickly and it gave me litlle clumps.
The wand is not fun to use at all, it's hard to get it back in the tube as it is too flexible.

Wow, I'm surprised at the low rating on this! I bought this before reading reviews because it was bogo. I used it last night and really loved it. I added a picture to the review.

It didn't clump, gave me length and some volume. The regular voluminous gets too clumpy and goopy, and the full definition flaked really terribly for some reason. This didn't flake or disappear. It came off easily when I washed my face.

It does have a rubber brush, but it's different than the telescopic one, and not huge like lash blast. It gets down to the roots of my lashes. So yeah, I like it!

I decided to try this mascara since it was free during Ultas BOGOF promo. The yellow tube is what drew me to grab it lol. When it said naturale I thought it will be a good mascara to use on days I feel too lazy to apply makeup, but never leave the house without mascara. This mascara clumped on the first coat!!! I was not expecting that since it wasn't waterproof - I get more clumping experience with waterproof since they dry faster. Sheesh, this one clumped my lashes right away! So much that when I tried to comb out the clumps, flakes and lashes were flying on my cheeks! It made my lashes pin straight, something I hate since I curled them beforehand and I have naturally pin straight lashes. For a "natural" label, this is a bust! I want to give it a few more tries, but so scared I'll loose all my lashes. Can always try it on my lower lashes since I can't return it (ulta sales people in my area snobs). I will NEVER buy this again, ugh! What a waste of freebie lol :P

This mascara is not that great, the wand is really hard to get back into the tube and the wand doesn't help your lashes in any way...
The mascara dried out pretty quickly. But the result it gave my lashes was not that bad, nothing great, but not bad, it didn't really help my lashes look more full just a bit longer in a more natural way, that's about it, definitly not worth the price though.

The wand in this mascara reminds me a lot of the l'oreal telescopic clean definition, except a little thicker and more flexible. This mascara is fine, nothing crazy good. I like these kind of wands because I find them don't clump, smear and are easily to get little short hairs. But I find this formulation a bit dry, maybe that is what they were going for to get a more natural look, I don't know.

I hate heavy, stiff lashes. I find this mascara gives me the 'mascara look' without the the feel. And it never smears or smudges.

I love how this seperates and lengthens...goodness! But it dries and clumps within the first week of buying it. I mean, my lashes are already long but they looked STUPID long after I used this. For that alone, I would repurchase.

I have been a voluminious fan since forever, so when this one came out, I knew I had to try it. Now it just lies there at the bottom of eyemakeup basket. Barely delivers. The wand is too non-sturdy for my liking and I almost have trouble pulling it out of the mascara tube, or putting it back in. Not at all the kind of volume I expect from the "voluminous" line.. Have barely used it. Will never buy it again!

I think Voluminous Lite might have been a better name for this product than Voluminous Naturale. That's what it is to me, anyway. If you're expecting the drama and intensity of original Voluminous, you'll be disappointed for sure. If you're expecting a substantial amount of volume without the clumps and stickiness of the original, you'll love it. I still use the original when I want a really lash-y look...but Naturale has become my "just-hanging-out" mascara. The brush is the new plastic kind. I've never poked myself in the eye with it, as others have. This is definitely a 2-coat mascara, and both coats go on smoothly. I find Naturale does exactly what it promises...precise application, great separation, no clumps or sticking together, and a good amount of volume.

So I often buy the regular Voluminous and think it is great and works well for the price. So I though that this one would be great as well. But it is just so so and is nothing special. It doesn't provide much volume like the standard kind and I probably will opt for the other next time.

I saw the "NEW" tag on this mascara and was seduced by the clump-proof, waterproof, and volumizing promises on the packaging. I found the wand very difficult to maneuver. I couldn't avoid poking my eye with it in my attempt to cover all the lashes. While I appreciated their attempt at the "naturale" look, the only thing that was natural was the light coverage and low effect it had on my lashes. It lengthened a little bit, but no volume. I found that this mascara made my lashes look dry and hard. It definitely was not clump-free. To make matters worse, my lashes looked as though they were pasted on, grey and ashy, even though I bought the darkest black they offered. This was truly a disappointing product for me.

I love this mascara! I was really skeptical at first. I do not like the orignial voluminous mascara from L'Oreal. I found I really liked this though. The mascara is not too thick and not too thin. The brush has good gripping bristles. I found this made my lashes have more volume and length. I have very fine lashes that have to have a lot of mascara to look good. This mascara does that. They always look better after I apply this mascara. I also love that it is buildable without becoming clumpy. I would sometimes put on four or five coats to plump them up to go out to dinner and it never clumped. It is also affordable and I like it more then some of the pricier mascars. I highly recommend this mascara.

i love this mascara!!! although it didn't give the volunm to my lashes, it went on nicely and it continued to go on nicely until the entire tube was used up. there is NO clumping at all thanks to the wand. clumping is always an issue with me and mascaras. this is a great mascara and would definetely buy over and over again.
EDIT: don't love it all that much anymore.. i only like it when it starts to dry out and then the consistency is better. i went back to my love lashblast... it's still the best mascara for me

I'm so disappointed that this didn't get better reviews! Sure, it's not the best mascara, but certainly far from the worst. I'm also in the category of "not going to buy this again" but it's not because it's a bad mascara--it's just not great.

I used to use Voluminous all the time, so when I saw this, I thought "Well, that will be good on days when I have to go light and look professional." And with my Shiseido mascara base, this goes on smoothly, and doesn't create clumps (yay!) just as it promises.

I haven't tried this without the mascara base, so I can't say whether or not this mascara creates volume. Since the brush (don't like the brush!) doesn't apply much product, it doesn't seem like you can really fan out the lashes. Based on the brush alone I wouldn't buy this again--I really have to have regular bristles.

Overall this is an OK mascara, but not something that I just have to have. I'll use the rest of the tube, but I wouldn't repurchase it again.

I'm shocked everyone hates this stuff! Not my HG but I absolutely love it! They're not hard at all - i think people don't know how to put mascara on or something because they're very smooth and bendy!

first off, this mascara did nothing for volume. it doesn't look natural. I tried it tonight and my boyfriend said that my lashes looked hard. the brush was not great either, it was the rubberized kind and it bends. I think if the brush actually had bristles then maybe it would be better. I would not recommend this mascara to anyone.
