L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara Reviews

A weird title for a mascara review but oh my gosh it smells amazing, like an expensive perfume or moisturizer! I was surprised it smelt so strongly with it being labelled for sensitive eyes but I had no reaction and throughout the day wafts of the scent caught my nose!

The packaging was also surprising, I liked the shiny lid and how that differed to the matte colour of the rest of the product. That colour is amazing. But it feels oddly light and a bit on the cheap side?

The formula is pretty smooth and thin, I found it definitely lengthened my lashes but lacked on volumizing. Almost lump free as long as I didn't have too much on the brush, I do think my lashes looked soft. I always have a problem with mascara leaving me with panda eyes throughout the day, I wore this product on several different occasions and only had a slight smudge at the end of the day so for me this is such an improvement.

I do like this mascara, but would pair it with another product that adds some volume if I was going for anything other than a soft look. Honestly that smell though is making this one of my new favourite everyday mascaras and will most likely repurchase.

I have mixed feelings about the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara... it's so close to being perfect but doesn't quite tick all the boxes for me.

Pros: - The wand is nice and dense and grips every single lash, giving a full and fluttery effect. - I get great volume and length when I use this. - This mascara holds a curl like nobody's business. I don't curl my lashes but when I use this my lashes look freshly curled all day long. - The price is decent - it normally costs around $27 which is a steal compared to the high-end mascaras I normally buy.

Cons: - The formula is quite dry and stiff so I don't think it will last long before it's too dry to use. The dryness also means it does flake a bit and I find little flecks of dry mascara that have fallen onto my face. - It doesn't layer well! I usually like to wear two coats of mascara but when I apply a second coat of Lash Paradise I often get clumps, and the product balls up weirdly on the ends of my lashes. I have to take my time when applying this and take care to not end up with lashes that look like actual insect legs.

Final verdict: I wouldn't tell anyone not to buy this mascara because it IS good once you figure out how to get it to work for you. But since it is a bit finicky I think there are other mascaras I'd recommend first. I think the brush is one of the best I've ever used though, so if the mascara was more of a "wet" formula it would probably be my favourite.

Thanks to BR for this trial :) Right off the bat let me say I am SO fussy when it comes to Mascaras, it literally needs to tick every single box for me to make it a staple - or I don't bother. Lets say I am up for trying mascaras and am on the look out for something affordable but does the jobs.

I have quite a few musts which include it must give me a natural look, it extends my lashes but not too much, easy to apply, I prefer waterproof but if its not I need to know it won't smudge under my eyes, easy to remove, doesn't clump.. OK thats alot!

This one claims to give intense extra black volume, spectacular long lashes, pleasure to apply and suited for sensitive eyes.

I like to test a product out before reading the claims to get my own thoughts on the product without any other influence and the things I noticed instantly was that yes it was easy and felt "nice" to apply, I noticed how my eyes weren't sensitive to the product and noticed it gave me a really natural look. I see on the box it has gentle oils in the ingredients.

Though it gave me a natural look, it wasn't intense as claimed on the packaging. It didn't extend my lashes too much either, I had to go over my lashes about 5times to get length.

Unfortunately I won't use this again as only after a couple of hours it left black marks under my eyes (which to me is the #1 box it must not do), it did this too on application of one layer. I noticed too that it was quite difficult to remove off my eyes with makeup oil and micellar water - my skin felt pulled from trying to remove it. Even after removal I had marks under my eyes when I woke up in the morning.

Sorry guys won't be using this one again!

It's a beautiful mascara - the packaging is really lovely, the rose gold casing feels of good quality, and the handle is a nice good size to hold.

I found it easy to apply with the standard 'zig zag' method, it evenly coated my lashes, and it was easy to go in after and catch the inner corner lashes.

It layers well - just don't leave it to dry for too long between coats.

I would happily repurchase!

Ahhh L'Oreal, you had me at rose gold!

The packaging is a nice mascara tube, it doesn't feel cheap and the lid tightly screws on so its not going to leak in your handbag.

The mascara is a great consistency, it's not too thin and runny, but its also not too thick to be workable. I found 2 layers gave me the volume and depth that I like. One layer would be perfect in a pinch though.

It lasts well through the day and I didnt find it smudged easily with my general eye rubbing.

Thanks for the awesome trial BR!

Excited to try a new mascara as I feel my lashes were started to look sparse and lost. Let's start with the metallic pink packaging. I do like this as it gave it more credibility and looked sophisticated. Once I got the mascara out I knew it was going to make me happy as I love this style of brush. Very easy to apply a rich creamy texture without being overly saturated on the wand. I applied both sides of lashes as you should and was pleased with the coverage. Not too thick, clumpy or looking like spider legs. I must admit day one I tried two coats trying to see how big I could go. A bit clumpy on the ends but I sorted that out. The next day I did one coat and this was better, fast and gave great results. The next test was day time napping. I do like a power nap sometimes and waking up with mascara all down my face is always a problem. Hooray this mascara does not budge or leave crumbly bits all over your cheeks. Final test was ease of removal. I have an all in one cleanser and eye makeup remover for light makeup worn most days. I was really pleased with the simplicity of removal. Always a test is excess mascara under eyes the next morning. Pleased to say eyes were clean and just had their normal bleary lack of sleep look going on. So was I happy overall with my new luscious lashes? Yes and they definitely have given my natural look a boost and looks like I have my young lashes back again.

This was such an exciting mascara to try! I have quite long but very sparse eyelashes and I find it really hard to find a mascara that gives me volume without looking clumpy. I also tend to find that most mascaras rub off under and above my eye where my eyelashes touch the skin. This was not the case with this mascara!

I found that the wand gave me really nice volume but didn't clump my eyelashes together, or leave small blobs at the tips. It has quite a smooth consistency and is a very lovely deep black that really makes your eyelashes stand out!

I really enjoy the way this feels on my lashes, it's quite nourishing and doesn't leave them dry or flaky. I did still get a tiny bit of mascara rubbing off onto my skin where my eyelashes touch, but this was at the end of the day and I have very oily skin so this probably wouldn't be an issue for everyone.

Overall, really enjoyed my experience with this mascara and will definitely continue using it!

We’re always looking for great mascaras that don’t clump snd give great coverage - right? I’ve tried so many different ones over the years from the incredibly expensive to the budget brands and have often found they don’t live up to the hype. L’Oreal Paris Lash Paradise mascara is different. From the simple and stylish packaging through to the lovely thick brush, this is a quality product that does what it says it will do. Great coverage and you don’t get a brush covered in thick gloopy product as can so often happen. It gave beautiful coverage to my lashes and separated them out - no clumping here! I would absolutely recommend this and it will most likely be my go-to brand from now on.

My go-to mascara is Two Faced's Better Than Sex, and well now I've found a better, cheaper product!

The wand is great and really with even coverage, it catches the entire lash line in one sweep.

It doesn't clump at all and is relatively smudgeproof too!

Highly recommend!

I was lucky to be selected to use this product. I had previously thought I had found my favourite mascara and that this couldnt possibly be as good. But I was wrong. This mascara is awesome. It coats my eyelashes very evenly without looking over the top. It makes them look a mm or 2 longer and it dries fast. I have never received complements about my lashes until now! So many of my friends have told me how long my lashes are looking over the past few weeks. The only negative I can say is it doesn't curl the lashes much and I need to use a curler for that. But otherwise this will be my new top choice for mascara!
