I find it really hard to believe that I reviewed this L'Oreal mascara back in September
2017 (3 years ago) as it seems like only the other day.
I managed to get my hands on this mascara way before it launched here in South Africa
and being a little mascara obsessed I had to have this, much talked about newbie,
in my mascara collection.
Not being loyal to one particular mascara I find myself switching between 2 or 3
that I really enjoy and highly rate and that's what happened with the
PARADISE EXTATIC MASCARA.
It was one of my go to mascaras for about 18 months and at the time I loved both
the length and volume that it offered my sparse lashes, but it is a very wet mascara.
I also found with time the mascara wand becomes exceptionally messy and clogged,
more so than with any other mascara.
Whilst I still rate this mascara highly, sadly others have come onto the mascara
scene and led me down new mascara paths.
As I've said before in previous blogs mascara is a highly competitive area
and understandably we don't remain overly loyal.
The PARADISE EXTATIC is now available in SA at Clicks and Dischem's countrywide and
is available in a waterproof and non waterproof version.

All the hype and coverage on Social Media surrounding the latest mascara offering
PARADISE EXTATIC
from L'Oreal, has actually put me slightly on the back foot before I've even applied it, which means only one thing... I'm expecting "greater than great" things and will be hugely disappointed if this product doesn't deliver.
Huge thumbs up to L'Oreal for their great packageing, not only does it come in a beautiful rose gold/bronze colour, but it comes in a box also.
(often only found with the more expensive higher end brands)
I personally find it far more reassuring to buy a boxed mascara rather than an unboxed one that sits on a self serve merchandiser just begging to be have their tamperproof seal broken, sniffed and in some cases tested.
Claiming to offer intense volume and spectacular length made me even more doubtful, as we hear this so often about newly launched mascaras, but how wrong I was to be so sceptical.
As I've aged my lashes have without doubt become fairer and more sparse, yet this mascara literally transformed my lashes from fair to intense black with just one coat.
The wavy ultra soft bristle brush quickly felt comfortable in my hand and its formula has a silky smooth feel thanks to it being enriched with castor oil, which also gives the lashes a soft feel rather than that all to familiar brittle stiff feel.
It didn't clump or flake either and its staying power was pretty good.
You can build volume and length with several coats, but if you're in a hurry one coat does a good job.
This mascara is a pleasure to use and more importantly to remove and is genuinely
worthy of all the hype and I'm a fan...
