L'Oreal Paris Extra Volume Collagen Mascara (All Shades) - Reviews | MakeupAlley (2025)

I thought I was I was buying L’Oréal voluminous mascara but I bought this instead. Disappointed!! This gave me clumps and flakes and very little else. I really tried to like you and gave you a...

This mascara is really hit and miss for people. For me, it works well. I like the big fluffy bristles as opposed to the short silicone bristles. This definitely has a big brush and I would...

This is just barely useable. It gives no length but plenty of clumps. There is absolutely no reason to recommend this. It's even priced higher than mascaras that work much better.Update: it gave...

My eyelashes are fairly sparse and tragic looking, so every couple of years I buy mascara, hoping to find one that won't be a smear under my eyes by the end of the day, or clump and make it look...

I’ve been struggling to find a good mascara. Something that is noticeable, easy to wash off and doesn’t flake or clump. This mascara applies smoothe and with a few coats it’s nice and noticeable...

Great for a natural buildable volume. It doesn't clump, it grabs every lash, and my lashes look MUCH much longer even after 1 coat.

Years ago, perhaps 8 years ago, I tried this and really liked it. Granted, back then we didn’t know any better. Recently, I tried this assuming it was still a good mascara and they possibly...

I adore this mascara. I’ve been using it since 2008. I’ve tried everything else from the lowest to highest end; and always, always come back to this one. Holds a curl, no flaking, no fallout, no...

I actually loved the way this made my lashes look. I did not, however, like the weird film it left on my contacts. I'm very careful about how I apply eye makeup and yet, everytime I wore this, my...

Well, I spent about three hours looking up reviews for drugstore mascara here as well as looking at YouTube videos ...what a waste of time. I appreciate honest reviews, so here is mine. I bought...

This mascara is good if your into really wet, spidery lashes. I have a hard time working with this formula as it is very wet and I get it everywhere. I does set however, and did not experience any...

I have been using this mascara for years. I keep trying other mascaras, mainly high end, but I keep coming back to this one. It's not flakey and only clumps a little when coming to the end of the...

My recently discovered holy grail mascara. I had decided to take the plunge and buy higher end mascara. Both benefit's "It's real" and Too Faced "better than sex" were decent, but they smudged on...

I can't say I normally just flat out dislike everything about a product, but this mascara was sooooo horrible to me. I bought it on a whim since I normally like Loreal products, but I really wish I...

I like the fattie brush...I am a sucker for those. But this mascara runs on me. Even on hot days when it is not TOO brutal, I always have mascara travel smudges under my eyes, and I dont appreciate...

This is one of my favourite mascaras.The plush brush allows you to cake on the mascara for a false lash look.With a lot of mascaras on the market, I find that they either focus on...

This is my fallback mascara. It looks noticeable but natural during the daytime. Formula is a bit more mousse like than Voluminous or Butterfly, and it feels like nothing is on your lashes. The...

Favorite drugstore mascara by far! It doesn't leave your lashes super defined...but I don't think that's what 'volumizing' mascaras do. Very build-able, gives my lashes a wispy look. This is what...

Excellent mascara. I like this much better than the original Voluminous mascara. This adds incredible volume and really good length too. This product gives a false lash effect and makes my...

This mascara isn't bad, but it doesn't really do anything for my lashes except make them look really black. This mascara formula is the middle-ground between wet and dry which I typically prefer...
