I have short, thin lashes, and I have become slightly addicted to trying new mascaras in a never-ending quest to find the "perfect" one. Most recently, I tried another L'Oreal product, L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Washable Mascara Blackest Black, and although that seemed to work pretty well for me in the beginning, I found that 1) the brush, which picked up WAY too much product, drove me crazy after awhile, and 2) the mascara began to dry up after only a few months of use.

So, on to a new mascara! I decided to give L'Oreal another try, mainly because I went to the store and most of their mascaras were on sale. I was uncertain about which one to choose, but eventually, I decided on L'Oreal Voluminous Naturale for two reasons. First, I like the idea of a more "natural" look; one of my favorite mascaras in the past has been Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara, Very Black .28 oz (in fact, I almost re-purchased it this time, but for some stupid reason, I keep trying other products), so I was hoping that this mascara would be somewhat similar. Also, on the packaging, it specifically stated that this mascara uses a "wipe-clean" style brush, which I was very glad to read--as noted above, one of my mascara pet peeves is getting too much product clumping on the brush.

When I got this mascara home and took it out of the package, I was a little disappointed to discover that the brush is one of the more modern plastic ones rather than a traditional style. Initially, I had thought that these newer brushes were a great innovation, but I've come to believe that they cause more clumping and that they fail to create fullness in the lashes. In using the mascara, I do seem to be able to create decent length, but very little volume--quite surprising for a product with "Voluminous" in the title! Furthermore, to make this mascara noticeable, I really have to work at it, applying several coats; also, I've had a bit of a problem with initial smudging, as the product does not dry as quickly as I'd like.

So, all-in-all, I'd say this mascara is decent, with some redeeming qualities, but it is not what I was hoping for, and definitely not something I would repurchase. The search continues!

I've always used L'Oreal mascaras, but this one was absolutely horrible. I don't know if the product was old or what the issue is, but when you pull out the wand, you can't get it back in the tube because the brush is so flimsy that it bends and wiggles like something out of a joke shop. I bought two from the same seller and had to throw both of them out because the wand wouldn't go back into the tube. I have never seen this happen with any mascara in my life. Do not buy!

I have long, full lashes so all I want is a plain mascara no thickening, no lengthening. This is the first one I have found in a long time that does the trick. If find the wand fine and the product as advertised.

Honest reviews on L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Naturale Mascara, 0.28-Fluid Ounce

There was nothing in the tube. I felt so ashamed to return such a small product. I can't believe I waited to use this and then be disappointed. Not even a little mascara left. As for the lip gloss the bottles were old and scratched and chipped. The wand was not firm. The texture of the gloss was wrong. Beat Bargains sold me horrible products.

This is my favorite mascara. I have a hard time finding it. So after many Walmarts, I decided to see if Amazon could get it for me and WALAH!! It was in my hand within 3-4 days. I like it b/c it is creamy and goes on smooth and mainly NO CLUMPS!! I hate clumps....it makes my lashes look natural. It lasts a very good while. It will get abit thinker afer a bit but I just QUICKLY run it under the faucet and thin it back down. I like the brown/black as it doesn't make your lashes stand out. and it was cheaper through Amazon!!!
