L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Reviews

I was super excited when Beauty Review asked me to trial this mascara because mascara is one of my favourite cosmetics to use! That being said, I also have very high expectations and am very fussy when it comes mascara. I know what I like and I tend to alternate between 2 different brands which I consider my holy grails.

Let’s start with the packaging. To be honest, I thought a box inside of another form of box was a little excessive but I liked the copper/rose gold tube itself and thought it looked quite luxe.

The wand is a thick hourglass shape which I don’t normally like but this one is surprisingly easy to manoeuvre around the eye and does a great job coating every individual lash.

The first time I was used it, I was a little disappointed as I didn’t notice much difference in my lashes after one coat but 2 coats was definitely much better! However over the next couple of days as it “dried out” a little, I was pleasantly surprised by the intensity of the colour, length and volume that were added to my lashes. I still prefer 2 coats but I like my lashes to be bold and voluminous!

This mascara claims to provid intense volume and spectacular long lashes which I agree which for the most part, for me that takes two coats which isn’t too much of a hassle. My lashes look thick and luscious with no clumping which is a big tick for me. The formula also contains castor oil which is supposed to make your lashes feel feather soft without any flaking and I would also mostly agree with this. I haven’t noticed any difference in the texture of my lashes but I haven’t had any fall out when removing my makeup and the only flaking I’ve experienced is when I’ve been wearing my glasses which isn’t unusual for me as I’ve been blessed with naturally long lashes and they always rub against the lenses!

Another huge bonus for me is that this mascara DOES NOT SMUDGE on my lower lash line! Hallelujah!

All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this mascara. Its lived up to its claims and it’s just as good as similar mascaras from “high end” brands but for a fraction of the price. I would like the formula to be a little thicker to avoid having to double coat but that’s a personal preference and I’m sure many people would be impressed with the results after one coat! A slightly slimmer wand would probably make this a ten out of ten in my book.

Definitely give this one a try if you are in the market for a new mascara that makes your lashes look bomb and reach for the heavens!

I got this product in the vault. I'm very good at cycling my mascara's so knew I'd be needing a new one shortly. This mascara is great at giving a dark and dramatic lash look with just one light application, and it is buildable if you want an evening/event look. It has good staying power, but I am an eye rubber, so I got a little bit of panda eye through the day. Not terrible, but it was noticeable to me.

The product does tend to dry out quite quickly - so I've found after 3 months use, it's too clumpy to use now.

A good price, and great results. It's one of the better mascara's I've used in this price range.

I watched a review online and this was compared to the better than sex mascara so I thought I would give it a go. Unfortunately I was to be disappointed, it did flake and fall under my eyes and also smudged. I did like brush, it was a good shape and would be great with a different formula. This was my personal experience and may be different for others.

I was lucky to be able to try out L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara. I love applying mascara on my lashes because I have short lashes and I want to make it longer a bit and make it standout a bit. I love the formula of this mascara because with just one layer it already looks stunning! My lashes curls lasts a day without going down which I love.

L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara dries faster than other mascara so it doesn't smudge to my lids when I apply it. The only thing I noticed is there's a bit of clumping when you apply 2 layers of it but that's fine with me because one layer is already enough to lengthen and volumise my lashes.

I bought this mascara after a friend recommended it and I initally enjoyed its results - longer lashes and good volume. However, after a while I notice that the formula became very clumpy and unpleasant to use but I still enjoy using the shape of the brush which I now dip into other mascaras!

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.

This is hands down the best Mascara I have ever used.

Most mascaras cause panda eyes after a couple hours on me, despite claims they don't smudge, etc... And I hate waterproof formulas because they feel brittle and are just hard to wash off.

So I've been trialing a lot of tubing mascaras. My fave for a while was Estee Lauder Double Wear and even Australis Mega Lash.

But THIS MASCARA WINS.

Honestly it's so beautiful. Soft, full, long lashes with a hint of curl. Blackest black. And No Panda Eyes! And easy washing off with warm water and your regular face wash.

Cannot rave enough about it. Will repurchase again and again.

I saw this in Farmers and was drawn to the beautiful packaging - rose gold with a twenties font vibe. But it's mascara - and as we all know, they're very hit and miss. After loitering in the beauty department, reading reviews on BR on my phone I decided it was well worth a punt!

It promises length and volume, and it does deliver. I can't be bothered with mascaras that take more than one coat so I was really happy that one coat was enough for a lovely lash line. It's not too dramatic, but is a bit more than my-lashes-but-better.

I liked that the brush easily seperated my lashes, and it seemed to catch most of them in the one pass. It was easy to use the brush on both the top and bottom lashes.

I think the price is good, plus you can always find L'Oreal on special somewhere.

I really didn’t think I was going to like this. I have one mascara that I live by and I gave this a go and it actually out performed my other one in some ways. The brush itself is excellent, very full. It’s really black which I love. I put it on and love the volume and lengthening effect I got. 3 people asked if my lashes were real the first day I tried this. No smudging on long shifts either. I don’t like the packaging at all. I feel like it was pointless and wasteful having it in a box, then inside another box. That is something that should be addressed for sure. And the coloring on the tube is not great. I feel like it looks cheap and plain. For the quality that it is, should definitely revisit the presentation. I would have never picked this up if not for this trial but now I’ll repurchase and keep in my kit as well.

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
