      Luxuriant L'Oreal

      I use mascara every day and have done so for numerous years and have found L'Oreal to be the best in recent years.

      Gives You Panda Eyes

      4 years ago
      Claims: No Clumping - it comes out clumpy. Also, after about 2 or 3 hours of wear, you end up with more under your eyes than on your lashes. The worst I’ve ever experienced.

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      Fantastic mascara!

      4 years ago
      This is my desert island product. I've used a lot of mascaras over the years and this one is by far the best. It adds lots of volume and lengthens too. I don't get any smudging, as some other reviewers have mentioned (I don't have oily eyelids, so maybe that's why?). It really transforms the look of my eyes, I can't rate this highly enough!!

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Was looking for a water based mascara. Still not sure if this is. But you can’t fault ANY L’Oréal mascara. I can pick one with my eyes closed and I’ll know it’ll work well.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Best Mascara

      5 years ago
      Everyone’s eyelashes are different and require something for me I have used this for years and in my opinion is the best mascara out there. It lasts well gives lashes a nice full look without being clumpy or straggly.

      Yes, I recommend this product.

      Classic

      I have used this mascara for years, I will buy into advertising of others to try but always come back to this one. It has a classic brush and builds up for a more dramatic look. Love it

      Rubbish

      5 years ago
      Absolutely 100% is not waterproof. Tried and tested 3 separate times. Walked 20 minutes in unexpected bad weather. Lovely application brush but far better mascaras than this. I cant believe other reviews say anything other. Its as if its a fix.

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      This mascara makes my eyelashes look nice and gives a natural look with no clumps. However this mascara really smudges a lot!

      Worst mascara I’ve ever used

      5 years ago
      This mascara doesn’t add volume and within a few hours of application it smudges above and below the eye so you’re having to wipe it off all day until there’s no actual mascara left on your lashes! Don’t waste your money, I’m now having to buy a replacement because it’s just not wearable

      No, I do not recommend this product.

      Smudges

      6 years ago
      I only use Loreal volunous x 4 purple cover. I'm devastated it's been replaced with this carbon black. It goes on great however smudges above the eye and below all day. Very disappointing. I'm trying to find my one to buy as I'm running out and no where sells it anymore just this black cover one I can't wear.

      This is not voluminous! Using this mascara actually made my lashes look thinner than not wearing any mascara.

      I think this mascara is worth every penny. It does a great job of lengthening the lashes. It has been a stable item in my make up bag for year's and always come back to this great product.

      One of my 'old' favourites. Go back to this time and time again. No fancy packaging or 'funny' shaped brushes. No gimmics, but you get lovely longer, thicker, darker lashes. It doesn't smudge on me, but everyone is different, I suppose
