Budget Buy: L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black £8.49
After hearing Kim Kardashian's makeup artist Mario Dedanovic talk repeatedly about L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black I knew it was one to add to the collection. Thick wand, long bristles and a heavily black formula is exactly what I was looking for to create really voluminous lashes.
On its own, it solely adds volume and my lashes are ones that need length and thickness added too so for that reason it's not one of my favourites. Being a mascara mixer (post here) paired over another mascara like Collection Multiplier Mascara, or Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill is where it really exceeds. It adds that extra oomph of volume that my lashes need, especially as I don't curl them on a regular basis. The perfect lashes in combination with a dramatic smokey eye!


I would recommend picking up the Carbon Black version as the Original is slightly greyer in colour. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara is £8.49 and available here

  3. I have been looking for a new mascara, but I find Loreal mascaras generally do nothing for me. Thinking of getting the Armani eyes to kill thought xx
