Advantages: Enhances length and thickness of lashes Disadvantages: Still goes clumpy if you apply too much in one go
I first came across this product a few years ago when it claimed to add only 3 x more volume – these days they’ve increased the hype, upgraded the formula and made it 4 x more effective apparently.
Voluminous X4 is L'Oréal's first mascara to give 4 times thicker lashes and claims that it will result in no heaviness and no clumping. The ‘formula’ is enriched with Ceramide-R and Panthenol to protect and condition. It also claims ... ...says that the extra volume brush should deposit just the right amount of mascara for an even application that resists clumping and flaking.
This product has been ophthalmologist tested for safety and is safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers as it contains a non-irritating and fragrance-free formula.
So… it all that jargon actually true? Well, quit a lot of it actually is, there are few downfalls, but you can’t necessarily ...

Advantages: Lightweight, adds thickness and length. Disadvantages: Takes a little extra time to remove.
The eyes are our most expressive facial feature and in a beauty sense can be seen as one of a girls greatest assets. They are the windows to our soul and express moods and emotions from deep within. Mascara can be used to enhance the look of our eyes and to make them more expressive.
I've been using L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara for more than three years now, so would like to share with you the reasons why I've been so brand loyal.
Until recently, ... ...recent purchase, I noticed the name is now Voluminous 4x so I can only assume that L’Oreal have found a way to not just triple the volume of your lashes, but to quadruple them!
L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara adds volume to your lashes due to the ‘combined action of its brush, formula and texture’.
It claims to have a conditioning formula, which contains Ceramide R – ‘a patented molecule that acts to coat and strengthen ...

Advantages: can create different looks, very volumising Disadvantages: the occasional clump
4 times the volume I thought? That seems a pretty tall order to me! If it does work-surely it would all clump together into one big eyelash?? Well, I will reveal all later in my opinion!
The actual casing is grey with gold writing and a gold lid. It is a fairly standard size mascara and is 8ml. The mascara brush is quite a large brush-I find the thin ones difficult to use and the wrong shape for my eyes. This mascara is also suitable for sensitive ... ...and black waterproof.
This mascara contains Cerimide R to strengthen lashes and claims to have a special “conditioning formula”. It doesn’t say on the tube what exactly makes the mascara conditioning, so I found it hard to believe the marketing talk of “special formula” but I discovered that it’s the ingredient Panthenol that conditions the lashes. The mascara is designed to make your lashes look visibly thicker and longer so isn’t it pretty much ...

Advantages: defined lashes Disadvantages: can be clumpy - so need to finish off with a lash comb
...reviewing the Waterproof version of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in Black. It comes in a blue tube (the non-waterprooof is a grey tube).
Some macaras do lengthening, others do curling, but this one does Volume. I guess it depends what you want. I already have long lashes, and if I curl them I look like an idiot. So volume is the only option for me. This one does what it says on the tin.
This was one of the first mascaras I bought 8 years ago. I have ... ...back to this one!
L'Oreal first started advertising this one years and years ago - that's probably why I bought it (well I was 16 8 years ago so pretty affected bt advertising!). They don't really market it any more - but I really think they should.
You get a real 'big lash' look which I have never got with another brand. After you use this one, other brands just won't do the trick. This is because you get used to the 'volume' it gives you and ...

Advantages: creates lovely long flattering eyelashes adds nice volume without clumping Disadvantages: one problem ive found is that it does tend to dry out quite quickly compared to other brands
This mascara has to be one of my all time favorites! I think that loreal has to be one of my most favourite and trusted brands.
What I like about it is that it has a very thick bristle brush, that seems to coat every single lash individually, and speaking upon behalf of my friend this is what she needs. I will explain.
My friend has a very destructive habit, which i dont know if any of you know about. She pulls her eyelashes out.
She has tried ... ...as even if she has only about 20 lashes left this mascara hunts out every individual lash, and coats it to lengthen each one, and plumps out every lash to make it look like she has alot more than what shes got.
This of course hides a multitude of sins, and prevents other people noticing so much, the only thing i would say though, is it does tend to dry out quite quick, therefore making it rather a clumpy mixture, but when new it works brilliantly!

Quick review of L'Oreal Voluminous
It took me years and alot of money to find the right mascara as i have quite short eye lashes but i have finally found the right one with L'Oreal Voluminous. Now my lashes and thick, long and full. If not applyed properly it can go clumpy but i put on one thin coat, let it dry then put on another for extra volume. If you have short lashes this is perfect for that extra volume, and if you already have long lashes they will look amazing after applying this mascara. It dries very quickly and the price is well worth it. Definately recommend it to any one. ...

Advantages: Makes your eyelashes look thick and long. Disadvantages: Goes slightly clumpy when it's running out.
I've used this mascara for years now, and I'm dreading the day they stop making it! I have about six tubes in my drawer incase they do stop. It's definately the best mascara I've used and I refuse to use any other. I already have long lashes, but this mascara makes them seem longer a thicker. So many people ask me what mascara I use because my eyelashes look so nice. I even got the nickname "Panda Eyes". However, this mascara isn't for you if you ...

Le Grand Curl mascara L'oreal
I bought this as I was pulled in by the T.V advert; wow does it really make your eyelashes curl? Also the packaging is gorgeous. It's grey and is shaped so it has a wide base a thin middle and a wide end, with a gold strip in the middle and a black on gold curl on the end. I never normally buy expensive mascara. I bought this one in black and couldn't wait to try it. I was very disappointed. It was extremely cloggy ...

Advantages: Good price, leaves eyelashes soft and silky Disadvantages: None
Althought this mascara has been out for ages, i have just recently tried it for the first time. I find it really good value for money , having tried lots of expensive brand mascaras, this one is definately the best ive tried. The bottle is large and chunky and contains a lot of mascara. The consistency is nice, not too thick, not too runny. It goes on well and leaves your lashes thick, longer and softer. It does not clump or flake off leaving you ...

I have recently bought L ' Oreal Voluminious x 3 with ceramide R water proof thickening mascara for fuller light weight lashes which is suitable for sensative eyes and contact lense wearers. it is ophthal mologically tested as well. I find water proof mascara to be the best generally as non water proof masacara usually ends up running and making black smudges under my eyes.This product does not smudge. I have found no irritation with this product ... ...in a clump if you apply he brsh to the upper side of your eye lashes it goes away It really does thicken and lengthen your eyelashes by about double if you put more on probably three times as it states. The cost was arround £6.99 which seems to be average for the well known brands of mascara. ...
