I had high hopes, it was pitch black, good brush but the formula sucks- With any mascara I wipe the wand on tissue paper or a plain tissue, but with this mascara I'll wipe and wipe put it on my...

This mascara was average. There are plenty of cheaper ones that give better results. This mascara gives similar results to their sister brand L'oreal Lash Architect...I found that once it dried,...

This is a 2.5-ish mascara, it works and slightly lengthens but there are about 100 mascaras out there that lengthens for a fraction of the price. I use Cover Girl Volume Exact and its tons tons...

I love Lancome mascaras and have bought them for many years. However, this one was very disappointing. The curved brush is hard to use, the mascara itself is clumpy. The Black Carat color is no...

I wanted to like this product because people rave about Lancome's mascaras so much, but I bought it (the Christmas package, actually), and I was disappointed. I think it does give you volume and a...

Not a fan. Pros: No smudging or flaking. Lengthens well Cons: Straightens your lashes even after curing. Not much volume. And I see where some reviews said it left their lashes soft...not...

Doesnt flake. Looks Shiny on. Doesnt seem blacker to me. Hate the brush. Doesn't build well. Goes on very thin and building makes it clumpy looking. I will not buy this again though I love...

I just started using this so my review may change later. This is a really nice mascara. I don't find the Black Carat to be any blacker than any other black mascara, but it's probably just me! ...

This mascara is great if you want a mascara for an everyday look. It made my lashes thicker and didn't flake at all. If your looking for a more dramatic look I recommend you apply Lancomes CILS...

Gave me average length and thickness, no curl, but a slightly lift. I had to apply at least 5 coats to actually see some drama and then it became clumpy. Supposed to be a really dark black, not...

I bought this maybe two months ago and have been using it for the past month. It is pretty good - not outstanding - but pretty good. It doesn't curl my lashes at all but some of the curl remains if...

I guess I could have reviewed this with the other Virtuose reviews, but I wanted to point out that this is the "Black Carat" color, which is supposed to be a deep, dark black. <p> This mascara...
