After two whole years of having them re-filled every three weeks, I recently decided to ditch my lash extensions. Not only are they beyond expensive and time consuming, but my real lashes have seen better days.
If you’ve ever experienced this before & after effect, you know how drastic it feels going from a full set of lashes to short, brittle ones – plus, it’s a huge hit to the ego. Sadly, its takes 2-3 months for lashes to grow back, so I needed a quick fix, which required a bit of research.
I’ve been religiously using Revitalash before bed each night as well as Vaseline to get the visibility of thicker, fuller lashes while mine grow back in, but having not used mascara in literally two years, I needed to do some digging when it came to purchasing something that would not only provide quick and immediate volume, but intense length, and soft, full lashes.
According to TZR, L’Oreal Paris’ Lash Paradise is the best out there right now and a tube sells every five seconds. Not to mention, it is the same mascara that held up during Beyoncé’s two hour, 26-song long 2018 Coachella performance.
Sign. Me. Up.
While it’s been an adjustment sans my extensions, and sucks to have to wake up an extra few minutes each morning to apply it, this mascara really gets the job done. A co-worker still thought I had my extensions on (no joke!) while wearing this clump-free, full fringe formula. The best part is my bank account is much happier.. L’Oreal Paris’ Lash Paradise sells for under $10!
Pro Tip: As a general rule, it is best to replace mascara every 3 months. And truthfully, a mascara will dry out within this time so it’s more likely to flake off onto the face (or worse, into the eye) and not deliver the desired result.
