    Whoever wrote that they had to scrape off the brush in order to avoid clumping is totally right! I mean, half of my lashes stuck together after one stroke when I didn't scrape off the brush. The...

    I've always been a Voluminous fan in Blackest Black, and I was curious to see how this one would compare. I think it was a lot of marketing hype because I didn't see the difference between the...

    This is definitely a good mascara. I know a lot of you have said that the CB one isn't as good as the original one, but I can't comment on that because this was my first Voluminous purchase. It...

    I wanted to find an inexpensive mascara to put in my m/u kit for freelance jobs (so I can use a BN one, if I desire, for each job). Of all the ones I've tried thus far, this one has performed the...

    I'm really surprised at how many reviewers had issues with this formula, because this is by far my favorite mascara. I bought it about a month ago and have had no problems whatsoever. The formula...

    I've been a Voluminous fan for as long as I can remember. I always have it in my arsenal, and I was excited to see this come out. I don't know what I was expecting, but it's identical to the...

    If it lengthened, this mascara would be perfect. Adds volume, holds curl, the only mascara that doesn't smear under my eyes. I am using Shu Fiber Xtension over this and this is probably as good...

    I would not buy this again. I'm disappointed. My eyelashes look nice when I put this on (I can't say they look any different though from any other mascara I've tried) but the mascara smeared. I've...

    This did not volumize my lashes, instead it seemed to lengthen them. I was pretty disappointed that there was no volumizing action. Also, it doesn't look any blacker than normal black mascara to...

    One of *the* best mascaras I've used, and trust me, I've tried a lot. I'm simply addicted to mascara! I found the original voluminous to be a little too wet for me. This one is a bit more dry. It...

    I'm thinking that there are different batches of this going around and that is why some people have success with it and others don't. For me I have to scrape the mascara off the wand before using...

    I love the original Voluminous and I really like this darker version. It does seem to be wetter with a tendency to clump but nothing I can't deal with. The jet black color is worth it.

    I don't like the original Voluminous and this turned out to be even worse! I bought this, lured by the idea of super black lashes. Well, I looked like a fricken raccoon after just an hour of...

    Loved the black-black, inky color...but unfortunately, it smudges horribly on me just a few hours after application. There are better mascaras out there!

    This is a genuine black, I can tell you that much. I find this one very versatile. I'm able to wipe the fluffy wand of most of the product and apply sparingly to simply color the ends of the...

    Hate, hate, hate this mascara. I love the old school Voluminous, so when I saw this I figured it would give me sexy, thick black lashes. SO not the case. From the moment I swiped it on I knew...

    HORRIBLE! Does not voluminize since the formula is very thin, does not lengthen,only color your lashes with an awful black color, yes, like the color of carbon paper. Please believe me the color is...

    I am on my fourth or so tube of the Carbon Black, that's how much I like it. I don't mind wiping off the end of the brush before using, or using a lash comb if necessary, because the coverage,...

    Bah! Not sure I'm loving this. Like other reviewers have said, this somehow tends to get thick and clump on the brush lots more than the regular Voluminous. I almost thought at first that the...
