NEW L'Oreal Voluminous Feline Mascara Review & Voluminous Liner Noir

I'm back after a little blog disappearance! But I have a reason--I was at The Blog Societies Conference, which was held in Charleston. It was fun and informative, and part of it included networking with brands. L'Oreal was there and you could get braids or cat eye liner at their station. They also had these two new products, L'Oreal Voluminous Feline Mascara and L'Oreal Voluminous Feline Noir Liner, which they said are being released this week. I had to grab them and test them out!


L'Oreal Voluminous Feline Mascara

  • $8.99
  • 3 shades
  • instant volume and full lash density
  • feline mascara and Quick-Charge brush captures each lash to deliver instant volume and fullness
  • quick-charge, ultra-glossy black formula provides feline volume and shiny smooth lashes in one coat
  • the "new cat eye look"
    • NOT the same as the UK version, although both feature similar packaging. That brush is curved. EDIT: As of the end of August, ULTA is selling the Uk version as well. It wil have a black tube, not green.
Here's a look at the wand--it has the shape similar to the original Voluminous, but mixed with the plastic wands from the Million Lashes. I received this not in the packaging but as pictured, and according to the website, the wand is originally green.




It does what it says with providing volume with length. I like how it does clump and is a "drier" mascara when compared to traditional L'Oreal mascaras.




I don't really get the "new cat eye" vibe, but I was overall happy with the mascara. It didn't flake, didn't clump, and was easy to wash off. No eye irritation either! 

  • $9.99
  • 1 shade
  • liquid eyeliner pen in a rich, black formula
  • ultra-fine 0.1MM felt tip eyeliner for sleek and easy application
  • unique packaging shape provides added control and precision (see example below)
Here's a close up of the liner and the "unique packaging shape" which I call a grip. The cap will only go on one way too.

Here are swatches of thin and thick lines with the liner. At the bottom is a swatch of the mascara to show how much extra comes off the top of the wand (very little) and the teeth of the mascara wand to help with length.

This liner is not waterproof, but does not claim to be. If you rub your eyes, it will smudge, so oily lids might wand to skip. I wore the mascara and liner in the humidity of Charleston and neither transferred on me, but I don't have oily skin.



Here's a thick line and a thinner line on your right. It is easy to apply, remove, and did not irritate my eyes. Of the two, I would be more likely to purchase the mascara than the liner.

I did a quick Instagram search for availability of these new products (I had originally heard September was the release date a couple of months ago) and they started arriving in stores over the weekend with a full release soon.

Would you try the mascara and/or the liner?

Extra Elle:
  • Charlie and I had the best time in Charleston, a fave city of mine. We were constantly stopped wherever we went, and Charlie was even asked to be in wedding pictures! Did you see it on my Instagram story?
  • One of the best parts of the conference was seeing bloggers you "know" online in person. I was so happy to meet A Blonde's Moment and catching up with the Atlanta bloggers is always fun, too. Would you like a recap of the conference?

  8. I really need to try that mascara.
    I need to get some waterproof eyeliner. That's my problem - I'm constantly rubbing my eyes & getting grey streaks up my face

  11. I love the packaging of this mascara and it looks so pretty on you! I don't really get in to the whole cat eye thing either though, I like to keep it simple. Sounds like you and Charlie had a fun weekend!

  12. I'm in love with the cat eye look! I think it's flattering on my face shape (it's the only time I get compliments on my makeup!) so I think I would love these :)

  15. Welcome back! Glad to hear you and Charlie enjoyed Charleston! That liner and mascara look really pretty worn together! I was totally obsessed with the cat eye look for awhile and I'm inspired to go back to it again.

  16. Oooo, I like the finish of both mascara and liner on you, Elle, I'll need to try both when they are released here in Canada. And I saw you having a blast at the conference and Charlie is adorable!

  17. That mascara sounds so awesome, but it's unfortunate that the eyeliner isn't waterproof. I'd probably end up with smudges all the time! I thought that it was so cute that Charlie was asked to be in wedding photos, and I would love to hear all about the conference!

  18. I would like to try the mascara! I don't get the cat eye thing either, but it does make for really cute packaging. Glad you had a good time in Charleston!

  19. Looks like a good mascara! The eyeliner intrigued me until you said it's not waterproof. I inevitably mess with my eyes quite a bit so that might not work for me-haha Great review and glad you had fun at the blog conference!

    ReplyDelete
  20. You look so beautiful in your pics! I'm glad that the mascara worked for you. I tend to like a more wet formula over dry. That liner looks nice but that stinks it smudges. Thanks for the honest review Elle!

  21. Such pretty packaging! I'm not a fan of drier mascaras...so this may not be for me. Yes to a recap!!

  25. Sounds like a fun conference and I love the packaging of those tubes. That eyeliner looks great, I could use one like that... plus, I always put my eyeliner on the same way and this one looks like you could try a lot of different techniques with it!

  27. awww how cool that you and charlie were stopped a bunch :)
    this mascara sounds super cool.. i'm not much for liners, especially since i rub my eyes a lot, so i'll skip that one. i kinda want to try the mascara just because it has feline in the name, haha. i always love l'oreal mascaras though, i hope i like this one even though it is drier.

  32. I will have to try the L'Oreal feline mascara. Gorgeous images here too! I tend to do a slight cat eye since my eyes are already heavily almond shaped.

  38. I swear by L'Oreal mascaras it doesn't matter which version I try I always find they work amazingly well for me. So I am so glad to hear there is a new one from them. I will be hunting this one down.

  39. Your eyes look amazing...I wish I could do a cat eye like that!

  40. I saw a sneak peek of this on Instagram and of course I was intrigued. I just cleaned out my mascara drawer, but i have a feeling it's going to fill up again. I just feel compelled to try them all! The packaging is pretty and the results are too. I'm not surprised Charlie got the celeb treatment, how can you not love that face?! I'd love to hear more about the conference. I see lots of bloggers post about going, but I don't ever see anything afterwards. I've never been to a blog conference before so I'd love to know more!

  41. I was privileged to read your post. and I left a comment. so great to meet you. I’m “following” you. I hope you have a great weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  42. So nice that you had this conference in Charleston and went with Charlie! I would like a recap, yes, it is nice for us who didn't go :) I think I will buy this Feline Voluminous mascara, after I saw the results you showed, and the price is nice! The liner is very nice too, but as it is not waterproof I have to pass... wearing contacts always make me prefer waterproof products. Mascaras, for example, I always finish with a coat of a waterproof one! Very nice reviews, I hope I find the mascara soon!

  43. You look super pretty in these pics! I don't think I would buy the mascara because I like a bit more volume & drama to my lashes! xx
