L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara Reviews

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.

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'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

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.

Let's dive straight in to it. . I find the packaging itself to be Abit plastic looking - but we all know it's not about what's on the outside it's the inside that matters! . So the brush is quite thick, tapers in a little on the end but nothing dramatic. I found it to be no use really because I still got mascara on my eyelids when trying to get the corners. . I ended up doing 2-3 coats to really get a noticable change (not alot of product sticks to the brush) I had to keep wiggling it between my lashes and really rolling it in. . It does come out clumpy and the more layers the more uneven it starts to get, doesn't curl at all so it kinda reminds me of snuffa luffa giss (that elephant thing off sesame Street haha) his eyelashes long and straight. . Overall: 1- comes out clumpy 2- nice and dark 3- leaves lashes long and straight 4- doesn't curl them 5- doesn't separate lashes 6- thick brush (may get some on eyelids) 7- doesn't smudge

All in all wouldn't get it again but it's ok :)

I LOVE mascara, it’s one of my favourite make up products, and I’m a bit of a tough customer. So first impression was that the packaging was a little bit tacky for my liking. I love rose gold but for some reason this tube just didn’t do it for me. Maybe the two types of rose gold.

Anyway, it goes on nice and smoothly. You need to make sure there’s not too much product on the brush and you use a light hand otherwise it goes on too heavily. It increases the volume and length, so does what it said it would do, but there was just something missing.

Colour is a decent black.

The thing I did really like was that it doesn’t smudge like some mascaras do, I get eyelash spots on my brows and under eye smudge with some mascaras, so it was great that wasn’t a problem with this product.

So overall, I’ll keep using it, but unsure if I’d go out and buy it.

My issue with this product is the formulation is not wet enough. The results are pretty good but I wasn't as amazed as I hoped I would be. To start with you get good results of volume and some length but it clumps and goes flakey faster than lots of other mascaras I prefer wet formulations there are a few from the lash paradise line I've not tried many of them and I don't really intend to as I like my mascara wetter and to have a better shelf life. This one is dryer than the volumous line. This one got lots of hype too so I had high hopes. I've seen a coconut smelling version in a square tube
