Actually surprised.

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.

Throw out the falsies!

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.

Tips: Wiggle from base of lashes to tip, coat lower lashes from underside to evenly coat in 1 stroke

Lash love

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!

Tips: Double coat for extra long lashes and a more dramatic look

Pleasantly surprised!

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!

Tips: If you want to apply multiple layers, do the second layer before the first one dries completely.

Amazing!

I went into this abit sceptical as I always have bad luck with mascaras transferring onto my undereye area after an hour or so. This though didn't budge! It stayed put all day and was even a tad stubborn when it came time to wash it off. It made my lashes look super full and abit longer than usual. Only downside (which isn't really a big downside) is that it applies ALOT of product when you first use it, but once you've used it a few times you'll have it all figured it.

Tips: Use a light hand if you don't want your lashes loaded with product after one swipe.

Really soft mascara but great control

I gave this mascara an extra day of wear when this review was due as I really wanted to try it out at a convention I went to. My mascaras are known to bleed onto my lower and upper lid after a long day of expressions and sweat. To my surprise nothing had moved just like a waterproof mascara! The wand is really nice and doesn’t smudge on to my eye as easily as others. It’s a tall want with not that long spikes on it which is why i assume why. You can keep building it up and it isn’t clumpy! The packaging is super pretty and I would say its up there with brands like TooFaced and their mascara.

New Favourite

I have long lashes, but they're really thin, so I am always on the lookout for a product that will volumise without causing panda-eyes or itchy eyes (a few mascara formulas I've tried cause eye irritation). L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara has proved to be my new favourite because it does everything I want, and nothing that I don't want.

First of all... I love the packaging. The rose gold and pink tube is beautiful. The wand is super thick and bristly, which initially made me nervous as I've had clumping issues with wands like this in the past.

When the wand is removed it make a satisfying 'suck' sound and I'm not left with excess product on the wand, which is a relief. On application I immediately see longer, much thicker lashes. Two coats - no clumping - and the effect is intense. I've had people ask if I had lash extensions when wearing this. Reader, I have not. It's all this mascara.

Best of all? No transfer, no smudging, and it's super easy to remove.

New favourite. Will buy again. Will recommend to anyone wanting some oomph in their lashes.

Tips: No tips - just buy it.

Love EVERYTHING!

From the rose gold packaging, to the dotty writing, that reminds me of a glam 30s club in Havana, I knew I wanted to fall in love with this mascara.

And fall I did. Hard.

The wand catches my whole lash line, and is easy to control, using head on to get those tricky corner lashes.

The mascara itself is quite liquid. I smudged it within seconds upon the first application, but take two, I gave it 10-15 seconds of consciously being careful about moving my lid, and it dried well.

My lashes look longer and fuller. I found 1 coat plenty for an eyeopening effect. I tried 2 coats, and whilst the second coat applied well, it was a little too dramatic for me.

By the end of the day my lashes hadn't hardened, and there was no flaking at all. It easily removed using my everyday cleanser.

Wonderful product, thank you Beauty Review!

In a word. Paradise!

I am obsessed with mascara. I go through one a month. Ok sometimes one every 6 weeks. It's my must have product and one I show very little mercy too.

I have a couple of favourites, and often try new ones - but if I don't like them, I don't reuse, I callously chuck them out.

My first thoughts on the Paradise mascara was WOW. Rose gold. And it doesn't look tacky, or 'jumping on the rose gold bandwagon'. It looks classy and stylish. The lid/handle to tube ratio is great, it's easy to hold and wield.

The brush is great - its wavy, which works perfectly with the zig-zag application style -it catches every lash in several dimensions if that makes sense. I like that the bristles are soft and there's some flexibility to the brush, but that it's not too bendy.

There's a tight enough grip between the tube and the brush that excess product is adequately removed, and you don't need to wipe the excess.

Application is easy - it applies evenly and cleanly. I felt like I had great control over the wand and product.

This mascara lasts a whole day, and into the night. I didn't feel the need to reapply if I were going out straight from work.

I like to use 2 coats, which can be where a lot of mascaras fail - not this one though. Two coats apply like a dream. 1 coat looks like 'my lashes but better'. 2 coats looks like 'the lashes of a Hollywood star, without the extensions or expense'. A full, long lash line that still looks natural. Winning.

And, another huge plus - its easy to remove.

So this is a huge win for me. And to be honest. It's probably going to kick Benefit out of my mascara rotation. #sorrynotsorry

I think it's better than 'better than sex'...

So this has been compared as a more cost effective dupe to Two Faced 'Better than sex' and i'd say it knocks the socks off it.

The colour is a nice strong black, the wand is thick'ish' but overwhelmingly so. It gave me gorgeous strong lashes without clumping and I feel the result leaves Two Faced in the shade.

I paid US$25 for Two Faced BTS and at NZ$25 this is a steal! I love it and i'll for sure buy it again.

Tips: It does go on quite wet so just be careful about transfer onto your browbone.
