description

Flaunt bigger-than-life lashes when you brush on this mascara from YSL. This non-drying formula is enriched with B5 pro-vitamin, which deepens, darkens, and leaves lashes look instantly thicker. The nylon fiber brush builds luscious volume, coating lashes from root to tip for a bold false-lash look.

I usually use L'Oreal Voluminous, but unfortunately it isn't stocked in Australia anymore, and the one I bought on a trip to the US has seen better days. I read rave reviews of YSL's Volume Effet...

HG! It's quite expensive but it's definitely the best mascara out there. Its performance is worth the price, and it lasts long (4-5 months). No drugstore brand compares to this one, so I'd rather...

I've used most high end mascaras and this one just did the best for me. I have no complaints about anything. It makes my lashes full and adds unbelievable volume. I've been asked countless times if...

Much of this is kind of a rehash of my review of the grey color of this mascara, so look at that particular review if you're interested in that color. Although I would not buy the grey color...

Sorry to be the voice of dissent, but I was sorely disappointed with this mascara. I have very long but fine lashes, with blonde roots and tips. I like a dramatic look - volume without clumps, and...

Great Mascara! Love almost everything about it. Adds great color payoff, as well and length and volume. Will continue to use this winning formula.

This is a very good mascara, doesn't clump, smudge, etc. It just delivers what you expect from a high-end brand. But what it doesn't do - is that it doesn't separate my lashes very well (if I apply...

This mascara is the best i have tried. It gives long, separated lashes. Not easily smudged and lasts all day. I couldn't ask for more! Downside: Expensive about £22 but worth it!!

Lives up to the hype regarding volume and length, but dried out ridiculously soon. A bit too much volume for me, but it surely works great for others. Brush strands broke, not a great quality....

Definitely the best volume mascara ever. Gives a wonderfully dramatic look - which I just love - and doesn't smudge and the black one is a true black for once! Nice package, price high-end, but OK....
