Review of L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara in 335 Carbon Black

Holy hype! I have heard about the L’Oreal Carbon Black mascara eleventy-billion times on YouTube. So, when the coupons aligned for a L’Oreal Saving Series, I had to pick up this mascara.


Claims:
  • Dramatic looking volume
  • Thickens and builds lashes
  • Full lash look
  • Virtually no flakes, smudges or clumps
  • Ingredients leave lashes supple and soft
  • Removes easily with water

The packaging is pretty standard black and gold plastic. The brush is a natural bristle brush as opposed to plastic. The price is pretty standard for a drugstore mascara ($7-9).

I would say that this mascara is worth the hype and holds up to most of its claims. It definitely added volume to my lashes, but still looked natural. It also lengthens the appearance of my lashes and held a curl all day long. This mascara has fantastic staying power—14+ hours later it looks like it did when I put it on in the morning. The formula is not to wet or too dry and there is no fallout or flaking and minimal clumping.


The only claim I would say it does not live up to is that it removes easily with water, I do not find this to be true (and I don’t find any mascara to remove easily). I also don’t know if it leaves your lashes supple and soft as I did not test this claim. My one complaint is actually the brush, it is just too big. I find that I get mascara on my brow bone every time I apply this mascara because the brush is so big. Other than that this is an awesome mascara!

I hope you are enjoying Drugstore Week so far!
