Voluminous Noir Balm Mascara

I purchased the Brown Balm and am very happy with it. I have cancer and have lost lashes as well as they are shorter and fragile. There are many companies that offer mascara for cancer patients at a very steep price. I appreciate Loreal making a product that conditions and is gentler on eyelashes while not making a profit off of populations that may specifically benefit from this.

This Mascara is not voluminous, at all. After three coats, it's still nowhere near the the regular voluminous mascara. Can you please just bring back Bambi Eye? So many people thought I had fake lashes, that's how long my lashes got with Bambi Eye.

This mascara flakes off all over your cheekbones. By the end of the day, there is nothing left on your lashes because it’s all on your face.

I was curious about balm mascara so I decided to try this one out. Have been using L’Oreal mascaras for years and am generally satisfied with them. Can’t say the same for this one. Pros: mascara goes on evenly. No clumping at all. Easy to apply to my lower lashes. After using this mascara for two months, my lashes are healthy. And it is easy to remove. Con’s: It’s a very clean look, but that is not my style. I like a lot more volume and length, and it did not deliver on either even after multiple coats. Also can be flaky, especially on days where I am playing sports. I won’t buy this one again.

Loreal voluminous mascara has been the Only one I have used for almost 8 years. The new "washable" are not. They don't come off with my cleanser, which was always the case. I need 3 plus pads of make- up remover. Also It does not give me the thick lashes it used to. I have tried another "new" one and have the same problem. Go BACK to your old formula

First brown mascara that truly looks brown! It is helping my eyelashes grow and stay healthy. Please do not quit making this - it is the best.

I have bought Voluminous for years. There must have been a formula change because my last 2 have been so different. I can’t get the mascara off easily with makeup remover. The bottle dries out faster. So sad. Now I need to find a new brand.

I found my holy grail mascara. I've been looking for a mascara that's clean, that volumizes, defines, and lengthens. I found it with this. I never would have guessed that L'Oreal made this mascara, when it feels like one of their high end competitors. There's no fragrance that hits you, and the wand is the perfect size, its not SUV sized and it isn't so small that you can barely see it. The formula is more of a balm, and didn't go on clumpy or goopy. The product didn't come out clumpy or goopy, and just glided on effortlessly. I put it on when I got home, and all I can say is Wow! The package says it lengthens and volumizes lashes, and boy, does it deliver! I will definitely purchase this again.

The brown balm mascara is perfect for my makeup no makeup days! It separates my lashes to perfection! It doesn’t flake & looks super natural! I especially love it on my lower lashes. It’s the only thing I’ll use on the lower lashes ever! The formula is not sticky at all and there is no lash fall out! I need to keep all the lashes I can! I curl my lashes first & then apply the balm mascara. It hold the curl and doesn’t transfer. Some say there is too much product on the wand. I haven’t experienced this, but it’s easy enough to gently scrap the wand against the opening of the tube if need be. I do this with most of my mascaras honestly. It’s also wise to warm the mascara in your bra or waistband of pants before application. It warms up the wax and gives you that smooth, clean swipe every time! I love love love this balm mascara! I think I’ll try it in my brows? I love a good two in one for traveling…..Anyway, you really do want this my friend. It’s some kind of wonderful. Btw… I received nothing for this review. I just love this mascara so much that I need others to follow suit. I want to be able to buy this indefinitely!

L'oreal!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this product! I love it so much, but there is way TOO much product on the wand when pulled out of the case. There is very little "grip" on the wand that pulls product off when taking it out of the case, so the wand is too loaded with product, and I have to take a tissue and wipe a bunch of it off. It's such a great product, I hate to keep wasting it.

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing something new, as I have used another Voluminous mascara for years and years. After curling my lashes, the Noir Balm seems to straighten them right back. It looks awful when trying to apply a 2nd coat. There is no VOLUME! Flakes off quickly, and not just a few flakes! Waste of money and it's a NO from me.

I love the length of this product but it doesn’t stay on long it flakes off fast.

this is the best mascara I have. Gives me great volume, makes my lashes soft and full, doesn’t flake, or smudge, and is gentle and beautiful on my 50 year old eyes. I especially love the brown, which is a rich, deep brown, as opposed to so many browns, which are a little washed out. I also have the black and love it. Please never stop making this.

I bought this mascara thinking it was brown but IT IS NOT. Even though it says it is brown it’s not. Very sad.

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. This product did not meet my expectations at all. There was no volume and after two layers my lashes looked horrible. And just as others mentioned, it flaked off and was mostly gone by the end of the day.

I saw the brown color and as a Redhead with blonde lashes I was SO excited. I thought the texture was great, very smooth and looked great when I first put it on. But after like 30 minutes it was already flaking and under my eyes. Really love the other voluminous lash products or lash paradise but couldn’t find a brown in stock.

I have tried various mascara over the years but have bought L'oreal exclusively the last 35 years or so. I bought the Voluminous Brown Balm because it promised so much and it was brown which I loved (I am a blonde). This has to be the worst mascara I ever purchased. It flakes off almost immediately. Within an hour or two, it looks like I never put any on. It ends up in my eyes and on my checks. I feel like I wasted my money. No, I don't recommend to anyone and this one most like will go into the trash. Back to the other Voluminous even if I have to buy the black.

Absolutely horrible fallout. It looks really pretty when I first apply it, but it flakes off within the hour. Went out for a quick dinner, and looked like a raccoon by the end of it.

Easy to separate ever lash. Buildable. Love this.

When it first goes on it looks SO good, nice and curled upward. Within a couple hours my lashes totally fall on the tips and I have flakes all under my eyes and on my cheeks. Won’t be buying again- sticking to the original voluminous

I can't believe the reviews on this product! It is gorgeous packaging and made my lashes look better than they ever have, but literally TWO HOURS later, I went to the bathroom and was all on my cheeks. I have never had a mascara just fall off my lashes like that. Never. I was so embarrassed. I wiped it off my face with a towel, but when I checked later, even more had fallen onto my cheeks. I can't believe that this ever went to market with wear like this.
