L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Reviews

Thanks BR for letting me be on this trial! It arrived at the perfect time as I had just run out of my then current mascara x

First off, rose gold packaging..rose gold anything is a fave so I was sold straight away with the look of this product. I probably would have been sucked into buying it anyway if I saw it at Farmers! I was slightly confused though of the double up of packaging, the mascara was inside a box which was then inside more packaging...

The mascara packaging is kind of like a tin/plastic and feels really light..doesnt particularly feel too solid but this doesn't bother me but if you like solid hard packaging this doesn't have that. The wand reminds me of Better Than Sex mascara which I seem to always think I dont like those wands but then I actually do. When I first pulled the wand out it was FULL of product then when I put the wand back in the product squished out the top which was a bit messy but that didn't happen the next time around.

The application is super easy and surprisingly feels really soft..did not know that feeling existed with mascara but my lashes didn't feel full of mascara. They felt really light. The wand does grab all of my lashes, lengthens them and gives them volume as the packaging says. I love the look of my lashes after applying this mascara.

I also noticed that the mascara doesnt smudge. I did find some flaking though. Throughout the day, on everyday that I've used it I've found small flakes of mascara under my eyes (usually just 1 or 2). Though it doesn't say that its waterproof I found this doesn't run at all. I also found it's a tiny bit clumpy if you don't press the wand against the packaging while you bring the wand out.

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.

It's a lovely mascara but I much prefer a waterproof which tends to stay on all day. The liquid for this brand is smooth and easy to apply. I love the packaging colour . It makes it look luxurious

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!

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 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.

On first coat this mascara gave a nice touch of length and volume, and actually looked quite natural, no clumpy or spidery lashes. It layered quite nicely, definitely giving more volume and length after more than one coat.

The lashes are supple, even after hours of wear they don't feel solid, not feathery soft but definitely softer than they normally feel with mascara. This mascara did not transfer from my bottom lashes to my under eyes (which often happens to me). And I flaking either! I'm hoping the castor oil also has some added benefits for my lashes.

I am worried that as this dries out it will become harder to use, as usually I prefer mascaras after they've been used a bit so they're not so runny in formula but here is hoping the oil keeps it fluid enough.

I think if you're going for a natural look then one coat of this will be perfect. It builds nicely so is very versatile. Would not say it's intensely volumising but it adds some volume but with separation rather than clumping which is what I prefer.

I love the packaging for this product its a smooth copper coloured tube making it feel a bit more high-end than the standard drug store tubes. The wand is quite big and reminds me of the 'Better than Sex' mascara wand, it applies easily and catches every lash ensuring they are coated evenly.

The formula of the mascara is quite smooth, not too thick or runny - it will be interesting to see how the formula ages and how quickly it can thicken once opened. The mascara does separate and lengthen my lashes but I didn't find that it did much for volume - it was lightweight on my lashes and didn't go brittle and flake off throughout the day. Even with a few coats being applied in the morning.

After a day of wear it didn't smudge or give me a panda-eye look at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend for a drug-store mascara but prefer my Benefit mascara a little bit more for volume.

Received this mascara in a goodie bag at an event I attended, I was super keen to use this as I'd heard amazing things about it. This mascara provides dark and long lashes, that can clump easily due to the brush but I don't mind that look. It lasts well and doesn't flake off. Will be a repurchase.
