L'Oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara, Voluptuous Volume, Intense Length, Feathery Soft Full Lashes, No Flaking, No Smudging, No Clumping, Blackest Black, 0.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

I used Max Factor Volume Couture Waterproof Mascara for decades till they discontinued the Max Factor line in the US years ago. Been floundering for a decent replacement ever since. I did find one that worked really well, but of course, it, too, was discontinued after I'd settled in to a nice routine with it. Now, after more years of trials and (all) errors from oh so many brands, too many to mention, I think I've finally found another really good replacement in L'Oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara. At package opening, I was off-put by the size of the brush -- it seemed huge, waay too big for my not so large eyes. I'd never used a brush so large and shaped like this. But, what the heck, I took a deep breath and forged ahead. So glad I did! I admit that it took me a few days to learn how to maneuver the brush to accomplish just the right result. I've got some arthritis in my hands which didn't help any, but I finally got the technique right. And it only takes seconds. Seems like I expend less time and effort into applying Lash Paradise. And now every day, I walk around with lovely long, curled, luxurious, voluminous lashes. You'd never suspect that hidden underneath was only a few sparse, thin, short set of a redhead's skimpy lashes! The waterproof formula stays put, too. No clumping or flecking off. I've even gotten away with a second wear day, sometimes running a dry eyelash brush through to refresh. But it does come off with a good moisturizing facial cleanser or remover when you're ready to remove it. Oh, I almost forgot.. as a redhead, I'm allergic to thousands of things, including the bases of many brands of mascaras. Thankfully, I have had absolutely zero allergy issues with this. Please, if you're thinking of ordering this, do yourself a favor and go for it! I promise you, you won't be sorry!

To start, I've tried many high end mascaras such as Lancome Hypnose Drama, Benefit They're Real and Rollerlash, Too Faced BTS, Urban Decay Perversion etc, but none of them compare to this mascara. I have monolids so I have the straight Asian lashes that never holds a curl no matter what... until I used this mascara. This mascara volumizes, lengthens, and holds a curl for most of the day with minimal to no flaking/smudging despite the Texas heat, humidity and my oily lids. Example, this mascara survived a trip to the zoo in sunny 90+ degree weather with high levels of humidity and sweat. Not even one flake or smudge! Even when I don't curl my lashes, this mascara makes it look like I did. Also, it's pretty easy to remove with my holy grail Lancome Bi-facil eye makeup remover, but other oil-based removers should do the same job. I suggest using a cotton pad w/ remover and letting the remover sit on the lashes for a bit to help break it up so you won't have to rub your eyes too much if you have difficulty. To sum it up, I really love what this mascara does for my lashes and for the price. Update #2 5/6/2018: Bought this mascara for the third time and product has stayed consistent in performance as the first and second tube. However, I must note that at least for me, the mascara lasted about 4-5 months before starting to clump and dry out (dipping into the mascara 2 times every use). Specifically, the formula is still noticeably wet albeit drier than when first opened, but has noticeable clumps on the lashes when looking up close. Not a bad thing as it is suggested to throw out your mascara every 3 months or so for sanitary reasons, but just a factor if you're like me and tend to try to extend usage of a product. Lash Paradise continues to be my HG mascara!

The mascara itself is good, gives the lashes good volume, length and yes it is water proof! But one con about it is through oht the day it smears under your eye if your a person who rubs your eyes a lot or lay down your head often but over all it’s good.

This is my FAVORITE mascara. As in, I’ve ordered it well over 100 times. For reference, I have long, straight and thin lashes that do not hold a curl and get weighed down by most mascaras. This holds my curl for over 12 hours (after curling with a lash curler). I love that it delivers a very dramatic lash look with just a few coats. It’s very black and gives a ton of volume and some length. It’s hard to remove but I use the Korean mascara removers and it comes off so easily with those. I’m a professional makeup artist and use this for a lot of my bridal clients too!

I really like the L’Oréal Waterproof Paradise Mascara. It gives my lashes amazing volume and makes them look full and lifted without smudging throughout the day. The only downside is that it can get a bit clumpy if you’re not careful. I fix that by running an eyelash separator through my lashes right after applying, and it works perfectly. Once separated, the lashes look beautiful and stay put all day. Overall, a great mascara if you love bold, voluminous lashes!

My old mascara ran out so I decided to switch things up. Previously, I've used the Lash Princess False Lash Waterproof mascara, which I love the effect of but have found it is not quite waterproof and I get smudges throughout the day. This L'Oreal Paris variety does not have that issue - it is totally waterproof and does not smudge, but it also takes 2-3x longer to remove at the end of the day with waterproof micellar water makeup remover. I've also noticed it sheds/flakes off near the end of the day and can be a bit irritating for my eyes. I will say that it applies easily and layers well. I did wear it outdoors for an entire day of being in mist/rain and had no smudges. This would be good for those once in a while days when you really need a strong mascara that won't run - but I won't be wearing it every day.

Very nice mascara gives volume to my lashes and waterproof which is great

Excellent mascara, great brush to apply it with and very long lasting. Curls and hold your eyelashes all day.

Des cils parfait j'adore. Mais très compliqué à retirer même avec de bons produits donc on abîme nos cils. Dommage sinon très bon produit

落ちにくく、良いです。カールキープ力はあまりないなで、マスカラ下地を使うといいかも。

Seems good product
