L'Oreal ParisMakeup Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara, Voluptuous Volume, Intense Length, Feathery Soft Full Lashes, No Flaking, No Smudging, No Clumping, Blackest Black, 0.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I’ve been using this for YEARS. I’ve tried other mascaras here and there, but nothing can replace this! Gives my lashes great length and doesn’t smudge. It can be clumpy IF I wait too long between coats.

Love this mascara. I have used many top dollar brand name mascaras but this one is my all time favorite. Makes lashes look amazing

On my quest to find the perfect mascara I took a swipe (literally) at this new one that people have been hyping about. As a preface, I have the infamous short and straight east asian lashes so what constitutes as satisfactory for me may be a bit high. What may not work for me, may work well for you. If you have the same lashes as me, then you may find my review useful.PRODUCTPackaging: The packaging looks like Too Faced's Better than Sex mascara and I think L'oreal was trying to make a dupe of it, even the brush is similar. I like the tube actually, it's pretty girly and pink but whatever.Colour/Scent: Dark Black/ UnscentedConsistency: Creamy and thickWatery or dry: I'd say the mascara is on the creamy and dryer side. It's not super dry since the cream is fairly thick, but the brush dispenses the material evenly so it doesn't feel as thick. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 on the scale of dryness.Brush: The brush is an hourglass shape which I don't really like since I like having smaller thin or curved brushes that help me get to the roots of my lashes without poking my eyes. Thinner wands also help to do bottom lashes without making a mess. The brush is densely packed with medium length bristles that help grab every lash. I give the brush a 4.5/5.RESULTSWhat I look for in mascaras the most is, the ability to keep a curl, and lift. I want my mascara to last all day without smearing, while waterproofing isn't necessary for me. I'd also like for it to add moderate volume and length, without clumping as I like my lashes to be defined so I'll break down the results by these parameters.Curl and Lift: 2/5 Since this formula is a little thicker, it doesn't hold a curl very well on stubborn straight lashesVolume: 3.5/5 I only applied one coat, you can easily add more volume with two or three coats but I am basing this rating out of one coat.Length: 3/5 Moderate length, this mascara doesn't really add /insane/ lengthClumping-ness: Yes, it can clump if you add more than one layer, it flakes a little too. No good.Longevity: It stays on averagely, I don't touch my face or does throughout the day so this may be a lot less wear time for you if you have oily or watery eyes. At the end of the day I get a small dark ring on my bottom lid.OVERALL3.5/4Not the best mascara I've used, but it's an easily serviceable everyday mascara. I'd recommend it if you have moderately long lashes and are looking to volumize. If you have droopy lashes, you might look somewhere else.

I have straight lashes that are tough to keep lifted, but this mascara makes a huge difference. It adds beautiful volume and length without feeling heavy, so my lashes stay curled and defined all day.No clumping, no flaking, no smudging—just soft, full lashes with a bold finish. The Blackest Black shade really makes my eyes pop. This has quickly become my go-to mascara!

This is the best drugstore mascara I’ve found! It doesn’t clump, goes on smoothly, and makes my lashes look great every time. I use it so much that I ended up adding it to my subscription plan so I never run out. Fantastic quality for the price — I won’t use anything else!

Started out great but dried out and clumped faster than usual.

I purchased the dark brown. I’ve been using tubing mascara for years and decided to try a regular mascara after my last tube ran out. This is great! Doesn’t clump or fake and it lasts. No raccoon eyes either. Great price point for a solid mascara.

I have been trying different mascaras for several years because my once long eyelashes have disappeared since menopause. Yay. Anyway, this mascara instantly lengthened and enhanced. Also changed from black to their brown and it's actually beautiful. Never thought I would ever venture from classic black but theirs is a very dark rich brown. I would definitely recommend this
