Flake city
My local store was out of my usual Voluminous so I decided to try this one. I have used L'Oreall for decades and always the Voluminous waterproof. I bought this in waterproof too....it's not. And it flakes EVERYWHERE. i won't buy this again.

Don't waste your money
I have given this brand a number of chances. This mascara clumps too much and immediately. It's not worth the price.

Hello there Giraffe Shopper! It is disappointing to hear that your experience did not result in the smooth, voluminous fringe that Lash Paradise is known for. To achieve the best definition and avoid an over-saturated look, we recommend gently wiping any excess product from the wand onto a tissue before the very first stroke. When applying, place the brush at the base of your lashes and use a slight side-to-side wiggling motion as you sweep upward to separate each lash while building soft, feathery volume. It is also helpful to avoid pumping the wand in and out of the tube, as this introduces air that can cause the formula to dry out prematurely and lead to an uneven application. Ensuring the cap is twisted tightly after every use will help maintain the creamy consistency of the conditioning formula, allowing for a more seamless glide during your daily routine.

Adds so much volume, just as good as any high end volumizing mascara. Also, it doesn't flake.

Clumpy lashes
Big brush, thick bristles, thick formula, and causes clumpy lashes. Do not like!

Tar-like substance
pulled out the wand and it looked like the bristles were covered in tar. Could not even apply to lashes. It was gross. Terrible.

Ended up in the emergency room.
Literally gooey and clumpy like everyone else is saying. It landed me in the emergency room with cosmetic conjutivitis they had to dig in my eye to take this crap out and wash my out with saline syringes. This stuff stuck in the back of my eye was the worst pain and freaked me the heck out. The Dr thought I had lash glue in my eye!!! Nope just this mascara.

Transfers and clumpy
Thick, clumpy, and transfers onto my eyelids. They obviously changed the formula.

Fav Mascara
This is my favorite mascara. I have sensitive eyes so I can't use any mascara. I use this one and an Essence one. They are the only 2 that do not irritate my eyes. Blackest Black gives that dark look. Stays on all day from 8:30am-8pm no smudge and does not flake off. I always get asked what mascara do you use because it makes my eyelashes look so long and dark.

Didn't Work for Me
I usually use the Maybelline Sky High (true brown) and somehow got mixed up and ordered this instead (latte brown). I decided to try it and didn’t love it. I have brown eyes and medium length eyelashes, but very thin. It didn’t do anything for length or volume for me. Will be going back to using Maybelline.

Have they changed the formula?
I’ve been using this for a few years and recently have noticed that the last few I have gotten have become so gloppy shortly after buying. I’m talking like only after a few uses. I have had to buy several in a short period of time because it they are a chunky, dry mess so quickly. Has something changed? It was never like this before. It’s a shame because it used to be so nice and go on so well. I loved how thick it made my lashes look.
