L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Reviews

I liked this as a lengthening/volumising mascara, but I have used better ones before. So it's definitely not a bad product, but you can get better. It was super black which I liked and didn't go too clumpy. It also didn't flake throughout the day.

I’ve been using fiber mascara for a long time as I’ve found every ‘normal’ mascara flakes and I end up with it under my eyes. I don’t have this problem with this mascara! Not flaking or smudging under the eyes at all. With the actual look it produces, I’m really happy with it. It grabbed all of my lashes and covered them really well. It didn’t take multiple layers, and looked great!

I didn't think I would like this for some reason but I really do.

It definitely has a Better Than Sex feel to it. The packaging and wand definitely reminded me of BTS. I think this formula is waaaay better though, it's not as clumpy or quite so wet and doesn't smudge so easily on me.

I even put this mascara on my bottom lashes thinking that it would almost certainly smudge during the day. I never wear bottom lash mascara because of this. However it managed to last the whole day!

While it stays on well, I didn't find it too difficult to remove which is good because you don't want to be scrubbing at your eyes.

I would say it is volumising and lengthening. It does everything I need in a mascara.

The only reason I've marked down sightly is because a product that is from a brand that tests on animals could never be perfect to me. It's 2019, there is no need to test on animals!

I have short, sparse eyelashes with 0 curl so I'm always on the hunt for the best mascara I can get my hands on and the Paradise is pretty up there.

The packaging was nice, did the job, but nothing to write home about.

The wand was easy to use without smearing mascara everywhere (always a plus) and did a great job of separating lashes - I'm not a fan of clumpy looks and this definitely avoided that.

The formula did a great job of thickening and lengthening the appearance of my lashes. It didn't add much curl at all, but paired with a lash curler I was very happy with the look of my lashes - long, voluminous, and nicely separated.

It also definitely stuck to their claim of no flaking or smudging, so overall I'm very happy with its performance.

It just does work as well as other mascaras. I feel like they were trying to recreate Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. The wand is very similar where it’s kind of like a brush with lots of bristles. The product itself is very think and it takes a couple of coats to make it look even and nice. It’s doesn’t really thicken or lengthen my lashes as well as other mascaras but it can give a nice and natural look.

I was puzzled by the “supple” claim as I have never really thought about wanting supple eyelashes but the mascara does dry very soft. It did last the day.

Overall, I have my favourites and this one just didn’t cut it for me

let's start with what you want to know... Is it good and do u like it??? I LOVE IT!!!!

PACKAGING Pretty on trend rose gold box that's easy to read and see what your getting

SMELL Not offensive at all

FORMULA This mascara does exactly what it says, it doesn't smudge all day, there's no clumps, it defines and lengthens every lash and I always do two coats and with this one it looks like I have falsies on.

I'm in love with this mascara and will definitely be purchasing once it's empty!

The packaging had a lux look - the great thing is this product does not carry the hefty lux price tag. The formula is of the right consistancy - not to dry or too runny I really like the brush as it's easy to use and allows you to coat every lash for full effect. Upon first application my lashes looked so much longer and thicker. It is really easy to layer if you prefer a more dramatic effect but don't want it to clump.

I wore this all day and barely noticed any smudging.

This was easy to remove at the end of the day by using my normal make up remover.

The product claims to give you Length, curl, volume, dark and has a smudge proof pigment.

I can confirm it does all of the above!

I have only been using this product for 5 days but find myself reaching for it over my normal high end mascara I have bought.

I would definitely recommend it. 

I've used the mascara for a week and surprisingly I really like it, unfortunately however I won't repurchase.

The matte rose gold packaging is refreshing and stands out in my makeup collection. The wand is a full bristled brush that's ever so slightly tapered at the end.

In the first few days of application I wiped off the excess product (there was a lot!) then applied to top and bottom lashes. I really like how much lift it gave to my lashes and made my eyes stand out. I also liked how it didn't leave me with panda eyes at the end of the day!

The rest of the week I applied it straight from the tube. It resulted in my lashes looking like a clumpy mess so I tweaked the application so that I only brushed the wand lightly through my lashes. It worked a treat and I can almost achieve the same look as if I used a thin wand.

My only issue and the main reason I won't repurchase is that it does have a tendency to make my eyes water. Sometimes I even felt a stinging sensation, it would pass after a few minutes but it's not ideal.

That aside, this mascara has helped to turn my average length lashes to lashes that frame my eyes with some lift (pic in photowall). I would still recommend it to others because it does a great job at providing lift.

I have been using the same brand of mascara for about 5 years because I didn't think it could get better. I must have been subconsciously waiting for this! I haven't used a L'Oreal mascara since I was a teenager so my expectations were relatively low in comparison to the MAC mascara I have been using.

This product, with out a word of a lie has taken my eye look to the next level.

First off, the packaging is a nice rose gold card back, the tube itself has a beautiful rose gold satin finish that just looks so good in my makeup collection. The name is a little random "paradise extatic" doesn't really inspire long lashes but I'll roll with it.

The scent is not obnoxious, smells slightly like chlorine but not overwhelming.

The wand. Oh my gosh, the brush! This wand is PERFECT it has long bristles so it grabs a lot of product without having to redip, it's shaped to fit the lash line without accidently poking your eye. The bristles literally grab your lashes and comb the product through them so well, this wand is the best I have used, the cap end is nice and slim and far enough from the want that access to inner corner lashes is no problem at all.

The formula is perfect. It's thin enough that it coats each lash individually from base to tip in one stroke with that fab brush, yet it amps up the volume exponentially! Along with volume it provides length without clumpy ends and flaky bits.. I have what I consider to be reasonably long natural lashes and using this mascara I have to say they look like the most natural falsies. The we side says to layer more coats for a dramatic effect but for me 1 coat is plenty.

Wear time - it's all well and good to have a mascara that applies nicely with a great brush but that's worth nothing if it doesn't wear. I was dubious as it's not marked as waterproof and non waterproof mascara usually tends to travel down my face into my undereye wrinkles within a few hours, this mascara stays where I put it. No flaking, no fall out, no smudging, no clumping. Even after working manually for a full day, sweating in humid conditions, this mascara stays put.

For a non waterproof mascara, I will say it is a little difficult to remove completely from the lash line at the end of the day, and by little I mean 2 passes over with an oil infused micellar so it's not that difficult but do be aware if you have white pillow cases and don't remove it completely!

Overall, this mascara has really blown me away. To the point I have thrown my other mascaras in the bin because they do not compare. 9.5/10 I will absolutely repurchase this product.

To be fair, I was a little skeptical about this as I am not usually a fan of L'Oreal mascaras but this totally changed my mind. I really like the formula of this! While this didn't give me much volume to my lashes, it was amazing with lengthening them and I got a couple of complements on them as well which was a bonus. I didn't notice any flaking and it didn't really clump up. Really enjoyed using this!
