L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara, Blackest Black, 0.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Packaging May Vary

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!

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!

I've been a long time HG Voluminous WP gal. After reading all the hype about the Paradise version (and it being prime day) I decided to give this formula a try. I really liked how conditioning this formula was vs the original; this formula did feel lighter. However, I did not care for the hourglass brush. This style brush made application a bit more difficult and sloppy; had to reach for my micellar waterproof water with a Qtip for touch ups. I then looked at the tube of my HG original Voluminous (also WP) and compared the size. They seemed identical so I wondered what would happen should I clean my brush from the original (which was due to be replaced, hence the purchase) and tried it with my new WP Paradise. WOW, this worked.....fit perfectly in the Paradise tube! The application was so much easier and yielded a more positive result than the Paradise brush. The result was a nice, naturally curled look with decent (not spidery) length! When comparing the ingredients, I noticed Lash Paradise more conditioning agents. Removal for both products was equally easy with Garnier WP Micellar Water. I do like that Paradise comes in WP 'Very Black' so I think my next tube will be to try that version (again with the original brush) to see I I can get the results I like with 1 coat vs 2. Unfortunately the Original WP only comes in 'black' and 'carbon black'.....no middle option. If you had an issue with the brush, give this hack a try! For the price and quality, it may become my new WP HG. Will update after using a few months but initial impression review (with the other brush) is a solid 4. I knock it down to a 2 with the Paradise brush (at least for me).

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!

Great mascara separates and lengthens without clumping. Plus waterproof.

I like this mascara but then I don't like it. It's a little clumpy and after a few hours I have smudges all under my eyes. Can't seem to find any mascara that doesn't smear!!

This was a great price. I was on vacation so I applied and it still looked new after 4 days. Goes on a little wet so I use an eyelash curler to minimize coats. Keep an eyelash comb handy. Does not come off with soap and water or makeup remover wipes. I use Garnier micellar water

I’ve tried so many mascaras—both affordable and high-end—but this L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof is honestly the best. It gives amazing volume and length, doesn’t clump, and lasts all day. Highly recommend!
