L'Oreal - Voluminous Original Mascara - 310 Blackest Black - Up To 5x Fuller Lashes - 8 ml

One of my first true, favorite mascaras. Over the years I always “come home” to this one. The lush, bristly wand creates separation and really helps thicken my lashes. The formula is reliable. It won’t flake during the day unless you mess with it. The waterproof formula is harder to remove, as it needs makeup remover while the original formula comes off with basic cleanser and water. For years now, the formula and price point remain the same, while the “new guys” make promises and cost more… if I need a reliably fantastic mascara that I can afford I will make sure it is *this* one. Thank you, L’Oreal!

I have tried soooo many different mascaras over the years: Cover Girl Lash Blast and Lash Blast Fusion, Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping (epic fail) Dior show(eh) and Benefit Bad Gal ( good but expensive) I feel so bad for cheating on my Voluminous because honestly there is nothing better out there. For the record, I have the lamest eyelashes on the planet. They are thick but super short and stick straight. I have to curl them and layer my mascara to make them look like they even exist. This mascara is the ONLY one that preserves my painstakingly created curls. I can easily layer as many coats of this as i want and it never clumps or makes my lashes spiky or crispy feeling. Lately ive had problems with various mascaras irritating my eyes ( Lash Blast) but this never does. I've never described a product as Holy Grail but as I type this I know this is my Holy Grail. If I ever have the audacity to cheat on this again, I deserve what ever I get, but I know that Voluminous will always patiently wait for me and welcome me back.

The best mascara ever!! It gives a lot of volume without lumps. I reaaaally recommend it!!
