L'OREAL PARADISE EXTATIC MASCARA {#TBT REVIEW}

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...

3 MUST HAVE LASH AND BROW PRODUCTS

As consumers we tend to be fickle when it comes to buying make-up as we

chop and change brands often and in most cases too often.

With regards to skincare we tend to remain more loyal, but with colour we

are drawn in by the creative ads,

latest colour palettes, celeb launches, the promises of new technologies

and so much more.

Make-up is, in many instances, an affordable impulse purchase and one
we make without too much research.

Our cosmetic bags and drawers are no doubt groaning under the weight of

our make-up excesses as we speak...

I have put together these 3 items that have been my "go to" products for some time

and ones that I've already repurchased often.

(It's always a good sign when a beauty blogger repurchases a product)

Such a selection of eyelash and eyebrow products can leave you somewhat

overwhelmed when it comes to making that final decision.

Over my lifetime I have bought, tried and in the latter years reviewed so

many mascaras.

It's most probably the number one make-up item that we can't live without,

so it's imperative that we choose the correct one.

My current favourite and repurchase has been the

Paradise Extactic from L'Oreal.

To read my full review

Eyeliner has been a more recent addition to my make-up bag and over the past four

or five years I've come to enjoy the effect that a fine black line along

the lashes can have in order to enhance your eye make-up whether it be a

soft or bold look.

The Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner from Stila

has been hogging a place in my make-up bag for several years now and I don't

see it loosing it's spot in the foreseeable future.

To read my full review

Eyebrow pencils have become a good friend to me as I've aged,

my brows have become more sparse and lighter in colour and

dare I say it "the odd grey hair has appeared",

so the help of brow products have become a necessity.

Benefit are the brow specialists and I adore their easy to use

GOOF PROOF BROW PENCIL

I hope this post has helped you.

products or better still what your "faves" are...
