Description
Ready to blow away the rules of volume? L’Oreal Paris introduces Air Volume Mega Mascara inflates and puffs up lashes, just like a hot air balloon, yet feels light as air. The formula is air whipped to create a lash multiplying effect with more volume that is weightless on lashes and locks in for all day. The unique high charge, cushiony bristle brush captures, separates and coats every lash from the root to the tip for thick and full lashes. The short bristles catch and load lashes deep at the roots while the long bristles dispense the intensely black formula evenly for fully blown out lashes. Lashes are inflated and puffed up to dramatic levels of buildable volume upon each application. Air Volume is smudge and flake resistant. Allergy tested, and suitable for use on sensitive eyes.

Lashes looked amazing with this product, but it has such a strong chemical odor that it started causing me to have migraines. If you're sensitive to smells, this might not be the product for you.

I have used and loved alot of products from L'oreal. This however, is by far, the worst of any I have ever used. Not only were my lashes super clumpy, I can't get over the smell. There should be a warning label..... letting you know PRIOR to purchase, that it smells like straight up acrylic paint GROSS

Was kind of disappointed. The mascara did not hold the curl from my eye lash curler like my other mascaras do. It also got all over the place with the applicator. I liked the look of the shape of the bottle but it is hard to hold if you are applying the mascara.

I know a lot of people find this kinda "meh" but it's been great for me. It's very light (doesn't feel heavy or clumpy) and I feel like it builds up nicely. I will say I do have decent lashes so perhaps that helps, as most people say their biggest complaint is it doesn't build up much. It also doesn't run or smudge on me, which is usually one of my biggest issues. It's nice to find a regular mascara that doesn't do this, especially since waterproof mascara is so damaging to eyelashes (since it stays waterproof by basically dehydrating your lashes, causing them to be brittle and break with regular use).

I love this mascara! It would get 5 stars except it runs way too easily. I know it's not waterproof but it's not even the least bit smudgeproof. Because I like its result, I'm planning to purchase the waterproof version!
Not out of this world amazing!

Like:nothing Cons: doesn’t lift, doesn’t add volume, doesn’t lengthen, only clumps. It’s the worst mascara I’ve tried and it’s pricey. After one application, it looks like a child applied makeup.

i looove this mascara. it gives me great length and volume and holds a curl fairly well. i find it pretty easy to build up too and the brush gives nice separation and also thickness, but i also have no issues creating a more natural look when i want. i haven’t had issues with clumping, but with all mascaras i remove excess and i start at the tips and work my down for best results. the fact that i couldn’t stand the mascara up was offputting at first but i got over it and would just lay it on its side since it’s not like it’s gonna leak haha. i also really like that it comes off soo easily with just water, just makes things way easier. l’oréal mascaras rarely fail me and this one is no exception, and is my current drugstore fave. it smudges the tiniest bit but i expect that from most mascaras apart from waterproof because my eye area tends to get a bit oily, and it’s not as bad as with other mascaras i’ve tried

I just got this mascara a few days ago and really like it! My previous everyday mascara was L’Oreal lash paradise, and this one gives even more volume. I don’t usually use waterproof mascara, but grabbed this one on sale. It doesn’t flake or smudge under my eyes, and I can even use it on my bottom lashes without it smudging there! My only qualm is that it’s harder to take off than a non-waterproof kind, even if I use a cleansing oil or micellar water. Next time I’ll try the regular version of this, because I love the formula and volume it gives me. The first two pictures are on the same day, different lighting, and the third picture is a more casual look with less makeup.
Impressed!
