Voluminous Makeup Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara, Voluptuous Volume, Intense Length, Feathery Soft Full Lashes, No Smudging, No Clumping, Black, 0.25 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)

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!

This mascara is great. It arrived fresh. When pulling out the wand, the tip doesn't come out with a lot of extra product as can happen. It goes on well and easily. The best part is that as worn throughout the day it doesn't leave any deposit/smudging below the eye.

From all the reviews and hype on YouTube I was expecting a miracle mascara. I have "asian eyelashes"...for those who don't know what that means they're typical short, thin and lay flat no matter how many times you try to curl them. I had heard to try waterproof mascara which would hold a curl better and longer. So after reading many reviews I decided to order this mascara and wait nearly two weeks for it to come back in stock so I could have those voluminous lashes you see on Instagram. After the first coat...then the second...reality set in. While this did a decent job applying and making my tiny lashes slightly more noticeable. It also was slightly more clumpy than I expected but that could have been because of the waterproof formula. This didn't make me jump out of my seat with awe and start taking a million selfies but it made my lashes stand out more than my natural lashes would have. My only serious gripe about this product is how difficult it was to remove. It lasted all day for sure but when it came time to remove my makeup at night normal makeup remover would not take it off and my lashes became sticky. The only way to remove it was to use a serious oil based cleanser and rub my eyes like crazy...then go back in with a micellar wipe. I think I'll just purchase non waterproof from now on.

I love this mascara; my eyelashes appear full, but it clumps.

I am SO impressed with this mascara! I bought it hoping for the best after trying so many brands before that advertise the “waterproof” and I’ve always ended up looking like a raccoon.This mascara is the real deal. Salt water, fresh water and sweating under over 95 degrees for several hours and not a problem. I was so happily surprised by the quality!!!!I also have to say that it came off pretty easily with baby oil as well.

This L'oreal mascara brings definition, some curl and length to my lashes, but it's not as volumizing as it claims (with the application method I prefer). The Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof is definitely a good option at the drugstore, but L'oreal has other mascaras I liked best.My biggest issue with this mascara is that a lot of product comes out the wand. I understand that this adds to the volume, but the products is thick, making the mascara prone to clumping and smudging. So each time I used this mascara, I `wipe` on the edge of the tube to remove any extra product from the wand; otherwise I get 3 stuck together lashes. I know that some like the spider lashes effect (I personally don't), so others might actually like this type of mascara. I do love volume, but I prefer to have defined, clearly separated lashes.Otherwise, with 2-3 layers I get defined and lengthened lashes, with some curl. The lashes are stiff (not soft), but still somewhat malleable; as the formula dries, the lashes get stiffer. But I was actually impressed by the fact that it gives (and hold) some curl during the day, especially since I don't use an eyelash curler.The brush is on the medium-large side, not long enough to stain the lids every time (although I'm a messy clumsy mascara applicator).The mascara lasts all day, no flaking or smudges even in higher humidity. Still, is easy to remove with oil based make-up removers. I didn't notice any irrigation, and I have sensitive eyes.I only have one mascara opened at a time and I use mascara almost everyday. This mascara really dried down by the end of the 3 months mark, the formula was so thick I got very clumpy lashes even with removing extra product from the wand.

This mascara makes your lashes thicker and longer without a lot work. I will definitely buy it again.
