Review 1 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
The BEST!
-05.15.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, natural looking
Let's just say I have tried a LOT of mascara over the years in search of the perfect blend of volume, length, and all around eyelash enhancing awesomeness. I stopped looking when I came across this Korres mascara. It makes my eyelashes look naturally full and gives them mile long length! I don't have the patience for false eyelashes, but want the look, and I think this mascara gets me pretty close. If you are looking for natural looking, beautiful, long luscious lashes, then this is the mascara for you!

Fav mascara !
-05.11.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening
Classic brush and a great product I don't think I could get this mascara to clump if I tried ! I first used it in the mascara sampler that sephorsa sells around the holidays most of the high rated big name ones I was not impressed with but I have purchased this one over and over ever since !

-05.06.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening
on my 2nd tube of this stuff. Still in love. my eyelashes look full and long. doesnt flake off throughout the day. some people complain about the smell, it doesnt bother me though. I generally dont think mascaras smell good, and dont even notice it while im applying. I definitely dont smell it after application.

This is a great mascara for everyday use, volumizing and doesn't clump. I love that it is natural and formulated without harsh chemicals. I highly recommend if you are eco-conscious.

Review 6 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
***BEST MASCARA EVER***
-05.05.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
I've tried all kinds of mascara---cheap to expensive! This is my ABSOLUTE FAVE!!!!! It covers the best---not to separated, not to spikey, not to clumpy---just perfect! Work best with 2 coats of Korres, but also works nice with another mascara under the Korres.

Love this mascara!
-04.30.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining
Excellent product. Natural ingredients. Makes your lashes thick and lush. Doesn't irritate my eyes by end of day like other mascaras. I purchased a second tube even though I had an almost full mascara from another brand.

Review 8 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Not like the sample :(
-04.29.13
Quick Take: volumizing
I bought two of these mascaras after falling in love with the sample. I would have returned them if I had realized the brush in the full size product was totally different than the brush in the sample product.
The formula is nice if you like non waterproof mascaras, which I do, but without the amazing brush it performed no better than drugstore mascara.
I also found the quality of the packaging disappointing. I'd had a full size tube for a few weeks when I went to open it and the cap cracked completely apart. The mascara could not be resealed and had to be thrown away. I was unpleasantly surprised because it happened with no reason or warning, the mascara wasn't dropped and was stored at appropriate temperatures.

Review 9 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Great daytime mascara
-04.28.13
Quick Take: lengthening, defining
Let me first start by saying I like my mascara black and I like it noticable. This mascara is fabulous in both categories and for me is best for a mellowed down daytime look. I wouldnt wear it out as I would like more drama but this makes my lashes dark, long, and clump free !

Review 10 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Your Next Mascara
-04.27.13
Quick Take: volumizing
Great product for layering - doesn't deposit too much the first pass, so you can layer without the lumps or mess. The one drawback to this product is that if perspire and the mascara gets in your eyes, it stings more than other brands.

This mascara is fabulous! Gives lots of length and fullness! Looks like I'm wearing fake lashes. Best part is how it wears; All day no fallout and no smuging until I wash it off. My new favorite brand!

Review 12 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Amazing lashes for daysi
-04.25.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening, amazing, awesome, the best mascara i've used in a long time!, love
I recived this product as a sample at first! My first use was amazing, I got so many compliments on my eyelashes. I have long lashes to begin with but with this people were asking me what brand of false lashes I was wearing. When I said no just mascara! No on believed me, I told them to try this amazing mascara! I used all of my sample so decided it was so good I needed to buy the full size. I still get compliments everyday! Love this mascara I give it 5*!

Review 13 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Replaced Dior Show
-04.22.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening, strengthening, easy to remove, dark
I was an avid Dior girl for years when it came to mascara. I was so shocked to find that a less expensive and natural product had way better results. Not only does it look better on but it has actually made my lashes stronger because the formulation is not as harsh as other mascaras. Highly recommend!

Review 14 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
disappointed
-04.19.13
Quick Take: lengthening
I really wanted to like this mascara because I love all things Korres (other products tend to make my eyes break out in an allergic reaction). But this product gave me the WORST panda eyes. If it didn't have that effect, I would like it, but no matter what I do, I have these black circles under my eyes just an hour after applying. :(

Review 16 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Easy Elegance, Flexible Too
-04.17.13
This mascara glides on easily, no caking. Extends my lashes and make my eyes look wider. For day time I use one coat and, here's the best feature I can put on 2 coats for extra effect in the evening without caking. I haven't tried adding another coat of mascara over my daytime application just have used 2 coatings on clean lashes. The effect is a very natural va va vavoom pizzaz!

Review 17 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
new experience in mascara :)
-04.13.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening
I tried this instead of Tarte or Chanel that I usually use. I was extremely disappointed at first but it did get a little better. I know others had a great experience with it, but for my lashes, it went on really wet and still takes a ridiculously long time to dry (almost laughably so). I have kind of long lashes and it gets pretty messy. When I blink it touches my eyelid or sometimes even under my eyes and creates a bit of back tracking make-up wise. I have to clean it off and touch up my under eyemakeup and eyeshadow pretty much everytime. Also....my lashes have to be separated after applying. It isn't clumpy for me, I think this is just from the wetness of the product. In order to avoid this, I really scrape the brush in the container before applying....more than I have ever had to do with any other mascara....seriously it is almost comical. Doing this does makes application much better. Once it is on, dries, and my lashes are separated, I find it looks nice and lasts until I take it off. It does become just a bit dry feeling but still is not bad and essentially is smudge free until I wash it off. Then it washes off very easily, which is great. It is also a very nice color black. So I like the eventual look but it is not likely I would choose it again because of the hysterically difficult application. It makes me feel like I am in an episode of I Love Lucy most mornings. :)

Good, Not Great
-04.11.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining
I love volumizing mascara that you can build on. This had a great very black color, but I will return to my usual mascara YSL, as this does not build as well. But overall, a good mascara if you are looking for volume and does not hurt sensitive eyes.

Review 20 for Volcanic Minerals Volumizing Mascara
Very nice mascara
-04.09.13
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening
I got a small size of this mascara in a Sephora favorites set. I am pleasantly surprised by it. I thought I was going to hate the brush, as I have found I tend to like the rubber brushes better, but I do enjoy this brush. I like more dryer formulas & this formula was just right. It did not flake or smudge on me. I did get a bit on my eyelids right at the lash root but I am going to chalk that up to hooded eyes & operator error. This mascara gave me great volume & length, did not clump & separated my lashes very nicely. One of my favorite mascaras is Covergirl Lashblast volume & this Korres mascara would be tied with it if it weren't for the pricetag. Removing the mascara was very easy with my Kirkland brand makeup wipe. I would consider purchasing the full size with a Sephora 20% off coupon.
