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.

Hello RH! We are sorry to hear that the Lash Paradise Mascara felt too thick and was difficult to remove. This formula is specifically designed to provide intense volume and length with a rich, creamy consistency, which some find gives a lush, full-lash look. If the formula feels a bit too heavy or "glue-like," we suggest wiping the wand slightly on the edge of the tube before your first application to ensure a lighter, more controlled distribution of the product. Regarding removal, because Lash Paradise is formulated for high-impact durability, it often requires more than just a standard facial cleanser. For a gentle and effective removal, we recommend using a bi-phase makeup remover or an oil-based cleanser. Saturating a cotton pad and holding it against your closed eye for thirty seconds before wiping will allow the formula to dissolve, protecting your lashes from any harsh rubbing or tugging. Your feedback is very important to us as it helps us refine the application and removal experience for our most popular mascaras.

Rash/swollen eyes
I like this mascara until I try to take it off. I just had to research to see if it is waterproof. It doesn’t come off easily Andy eyelids have reacted to the mascara where they became swollen with a rash. I have not worn mascara for several days and now looking for another mascara that my eyes won’t react to.

Smudge free
I have been using this mascara for years. I have oily skin and it doesn't smudge on my eye lids or under my eyes, which happens with other mascaras. It also applies nicely and keeps my lashes separated.

This mascara is kind of mixed for me. It makes my lashes look good only if i scrape almost all of the product of the wand before use. If I don’t, it makes my eyelashes look like a chunky, clumpy, thick, black mess. But if I do, my eyelashes look like this.

Hello Sloane! It is wonderful to see the beautiful results you can achieve with Voluminous Lash Paradise, though we understand that it currently takes a bit of extra effort to reach that perfect balance. This formula is intentionally rich and creamy to provide instant, fringe-like volume, which can sometimes result in the soft-bristle brush holding a generous amount of product. The technique you’ve discovered—removing excess product—is actually a professional secret for achieving a more customized and "feathered" look. To make this even more seamless, we suggest gently wiping the wand against a clean tissue to ensure the bristles remain separated and ready to coat each lash evenly. This allows the nourishing formula to glide on smoothly, leaving you with a lush, romantic finish without any extra weight. We appreciate you sharing your experience as it helps others master this iconic mascara.

Hello Iphone! We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with our Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara. It is quite common for a brand-new tube of mascara to have a slightly more fluid consistency upon its first few uses, as the formula is designed to remain creamy and glide effortlessly to create that signature feathery volume. To achieve your desired look while the formula reaches its peak texture, you might find it helpful to gently wipe any excess product from the wand onto a clean tissue before your first application to ensure a more controlled and even coating. Additionally, allowing the first coat to set for just a few moments before applying a second can help the mascara grip the lashes more effectively for a lush, intensified result. Ensuring the cap is twisted completely shut after every use will also help the formula maintain its perfect, voluminous balance over time.
