L'Oreal Paradise Big Deal Mascara Review

I very rarely discuss mascara on here because even though it is a product I use daily, there are very few that manage to make my little lashes look substantial and today is no different. If anything, this is the first mascara I have tried in a long time that had such a minimal result that I wanted to talk about it! A little backwards when you think about how most beauty reviews work, but I was indeed amazed just in the opposite direction!

The L’Oreal Paradise Big Deal Mascara promises buildable volume and length, lightweight wear and lash by lash separation. This formula is flake and smudge resistant AND interestingly removes easily with soap and water!

The “cross-conic” brush, which I am assuming refers to the conical shape of the brush and the way the bristles criss-cross, allows for even application to volumize each lash with every swipe. What I will agree with is that this formula was indeed very buildable as I applied multiple coats hoping to SEE some difference in my lashes, but was very disappointed!

In both of these photos, I am wearing 3-4 coats of mascara, but the only way you can tell is that my lashes are very defined and separated as well as darker. For a photo of me without mascara, see this post.

I will also give props to the brush as I do like brushes like this that are smaller as I often feel a bit blind if the brushes are so massive that I can’t see my own eyes. I will also give a thumbs up to the easy removability of the mascara even though it was able to stay on my eyes the whole day (with lash primer). If this mascara actually made it look like I had lashes, this mascara would have been a dream!

I have not tried the original Lash Paradise Mascara, but for a comparison of the two, Slashed Beauty, does an intensive side by side review as they both give different lash looks and have very different brushes.

Final verdict: Unfortunately, this was a no for me because of just how my lashes are. I have seen way better success with other ethnicities who have longer lashes so if you have fine, straight, Asian lashes your results will probably be fairly lackluster like mine were.

You can find the L’Oreal Paradise Big Deal Mascara at all mass drugstores.
