Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review of the L’Oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara.
Ok, so basically Italy has done a bit of a mess with this mascara. When the Lash Paradise came out in the States, in Italy arrived the Paradise Extatic which was absolutely identical apart from the name.
Then a couple of months ago, they came out with an actual Lash Paradise which essentially means we have the same mascara out with two different names. I remember really liking the Paradise Extatic when it came out so I wanted to try this version to see if it was different.
I got the waterproof one because it holds my curl better (I always use WP mascara for that reason).
You can buy it from Ulta for 10,99$.
Packaging
The packaging of this mascara is really nice and the fact that it comes in a cardboard box makes it feel more high end than drugstore.
The spooly has an hourglass shape and it’s made of soft bristles, but it picks up a little too much product.
FORMULA
The formula is not too thick or too liquidy and it’s very black if you are not careful it tends to transfer on your lids when you apply it.
I have very long lashes and I find that at the end of the day I have little dots under my brows where the mascara has smudged a bit.
EFFECT & APPLICATION
I do two coats to get the best results but if you like to do more you can definitely build this mascara up without the spidery effect. Overall I think two coats are more than enough the get the best result.
This mascara is very lengthening and volumizing. It’s slightly clumpy but I love the way it looks on my lashes.
I find that it holds a curl beautifully.
LASTING POWER
This mascara lasts all day on me without flaking or smudging.
Despite being waterproof, I find it not too hard to remove with an oily cleanser and micellar water. If I am patient I don’t have the black halo around my eyes when I wake up.
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 8/10
- Packaging: 7/10
- Effect: 8/10
- Formula: 8/10
GRADE: A–
I really like this mascara. The formula is volumizing and lengthening, it holds a curl beautifully. I don’t like the pink and blue combo of the packaging and that fact that I get the dots on my eyes at the end of the day but to be honest, it’s not easy for me to find a mascara that works on my lashes so I put up with it. If your lashes are shorter you won’t have this issue.

Oh it does look very nice! I definitely love the length it gives!
It’s great!
I have a hard time finding a mascara that will hold a curl too, I will absolutely be trying this!
This will work! My lashes are the devil so if it works for me it’ll work for you x
It looks great on you! The before and after photo is super helpful because it shows just how much it adds. Thanks!
Thank you 💕
I’d forgotten about the Lash Ecstatic thing haha I don’t know why makeup is so different in Europe compared to the US. Pretty sure I still have a tube of it as backup somewhere but I haven’t tried the waterproof version yet x
Ahahahah I think is the same as the regular one, I just have to use wp or it won’t hold on me 😂
Juuust decided to add this to my target cart based on this review. Looking for a new mascara and I love how it looks on you.
It’s amazing and the more it dries the best it looks 🤣
Thanks for the review – i was just looking at an old (last year!) photo and my eyelashes looked good. Today – at home all the time — not so much, I’ll have to try this for a pick-me-up!
It will really help
Oh wow this mascara looks great! The curl in your lashes looks amazing so I might need to try this one (once I finally went through my huge pile of backup mascaras lol!)
Hahahaha I did that and now I have only this! So happy about it
So glad you ended up loving the waterproof version! I really like the the coloring of the tube; I don’t think the waterproof version over here has that same packaging. Doesn’t it seem so random how different countries get different versions of products? I’m sure there’s reasoning behind everything but I’d love to know what it is!
Same! So weird
I was sold at the “without smudging” part, because that’s the biggest issue I face when wearing mascara!
Agree!
I’m honestly so curious if the formula of this version is the same as the regular Lash Paradise that launched in the US?? The OG version was so long lasting I’d be afraid my lashes would fall out with a Waterproof version lol. Love the effect this gave your lashes!
I’m seriously thinking of doing an homemade lash lift, I’m sick of my lashes XD
