This is an alright mascara. I purchased the waterproof by accident, however it was perfect for in the pool. It didn't run at all. It is a very wet formula, and I did find it irritated my eyes, so I...

I am amazed by the bad reviews on this- just goes to show how personal make up is i suppose! It appears you either love or hate this one. I normally use the regular black waterproof voluminous,...

I was so excited to like this mascara. I've been using the KissMe Blink tube mascara, which I love. But I hate paying $25/tube for it, so I thought I'd look for an alternative. I didn't like...

I have a love-hate-dislike-love relationship with this mascara. I love it because it truly is the blackest black mascara that I have tried to date. I hate this mascara because the formula is so...

I've heard fantastic reviews on this product and was not pleased at all. It took a while to dry and got on my lid. The lengthening aspect was okay, but not what I wanted. It did not give me volume...

I'm surprised to see other voluminous waterproof reviews have a higher rating that the carbon black one. I really wished it worked well -- it lenghtened, volumizes and retains curls. However, it...

Only 17%? Come on!!!!!! This mascara is sooo good. It is extremely waterproof, makes my lashes huger than anything else, and it holds an awesome curl (which I can't ever seem to do). My only qualm...

This is the blackest BLACK in mascaras. I got about 5 tubes at the duty free because I was scared of it being discontinued and I had been using Dior Mascara and I knew that the L'oreal mascara has...

While I do like this mascara, I'm a little on the fence about purchasing it again. It gives me sky-high lashes and lasts a very long time. It is almost impossible to remove, though. At least it...

Okay, I absolutely LOVE L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black. This one... er, not so much. Here's why: 1. Bad under eye smudging. It wouldn't be so bad if it could easily be wiped off but because...

I, too am shocked at the bad reviews. I love this mascara. I do use a base so maybe that helps with the smudging. I have had much worse smudging with great lash and colassal mascaras. I use...
