9x the volume in one coat, no clumps
with collagen
opthalmologist tested
contact lens safe"
Nine times the volume in one coat, no clumps? Not happenin' Captain. I have to use about 3 coats to get any where near my HG L'Oreal Voluminous.
Observations: The brush isn't of that plastic variety everyone has been making for their mascaras. The formula is a touch thinner than I go for. The brush defines lashes. I can achieve noticeably longer lashes. I have to quickly get my coats on before it dries (not easy for me as I like to tease my lashes and thoroughly coat them.) If I haven't gotten my coats in quickly my lashes are hard (almost crunchy) and I risk making them look like spider legs =( This mascara holds curl VERY well! I didn't notice any flaking. It smells pleasant (I love the way DiorShow smells.)
The survey says: I'm content with this as a backup to my L'Oreal Voluminous for now. Not impressed enough to buy it again. I prefer LashBlast's formula over this one.

Maybelline's Great Lash is the only mascara I've tried from the brand - and that was kind of enough for me to say no more, LOL.
But, if it holds curl as you say it does, I might have to give this baby a try!
Girl! I love lash blast too! Im so in love with it lol

I haven't seen this here in Australia yet, but from the pictures, the tube looks HUGE! :p
I just adore the tube! funky bright yellow 'an all. I don't love any maybellene mascara tho I find they run a lot?
Not a big Maybelline mascara fan although people SWEAR by the waterproof one. Including Holland Taylor the actress. Maybe this one isn't as good..
@ nilla cookie: try it! tell me how you like it!
@ xoxo jamie: me too! thanks!
@ tine: yes it's huge! as big as the lashblast.
@ row: hmmm i havent experienced any running yet, even in these hot summer months. i'll keep my eye out.
@ butterflydiaries: love your name/handle! all celebs love the latest promos ;)
Not bad for $5.99!! :D
In response to your question, if I can remember correctly (I used Diorshow and Unlimited a year or two ago!), Black Out delivers more dramatic lashes than the regular Diorshow. In terms of volume, they're about the same, but I think Black Out delivers more length, and it is darker pigmented.
Unlimited is just good for length and separation, good for people who already have lush lashes. Like you! :D And it's very easy to use.
Oh, and I DID see the beauty blogger get together! I really want to participate! Although this weekend I'm busy packing and buying furniture for my move next week, so if there's another meeting in the future, definitely let me know~
thanks fuzkittie! super helpful.. i have to try blackout!! i'll send you an invite. i hope that we'll do these get togethers monthly =)
snagged this for 2.99 at CVS. i don't think i'll be buying this again either. :( since it is your HG, can you convince me to try voluminous? lol.
Glad you had a great time!
I almost bought this mascara when I came across it in the local WalGreens. Now that you and Brit have reviewed it, imma have to check it out.
I really like this mascara but like you said if you don't move fast your lashes will be super stiff and almost weapon like.
@ lani: it's so interesting how we take our HG items for granted. i don't think i've ever done an official review of loreal voluminous.
@ felicity: thanks!!
@ aphrodite: i'd love to know what you think of the mascara... it's not really doing it for me.
@ suziec: oh i'm glad it's working for you! yeh, i can get some cruchy stiff lashes with that stuff. i guess it hold curl...
@ irene: thanks
