Drugstore Mascara Showdown | Loreal Lash Paradise vs. Voluminous vs. Telescopic

I compare these top 3 mascaras from L'oreal: Lash Paradise, Voluminous, & Telescopic. They are all between $8-10 & can be found almost anywhere (Amazon, drugstores, Walmart, Target, etc). I show all of the pros (length, volume, longevity, ease of use) & the cons (flaking, fall out, droopy lashes, & packaging fails). There is a clear winner at the end, & it might be my new holy grail drugstore mascara. I apply all 3 of the mascaras on camera & perform an all-day wear test to check for fall out & flaking. Have you tried any of these mascaras before? Do you like these types of videos? Let me know below!

Telescopic is prettier than the other two.

[@TheStyleBlog]

Thanks so much for sharing! It gives amazing length & separation for sure! 💕

[@user-gh3cs2my9h]

The telescopic looks cleaner than the paradise one also the paradise one dryers very quick

[@TheStyleBlog]

I agree that the telescopic looks cleaner! If that's what you're looking for, the formula is perfect! Thanks for the tip about it drying out 💗

[@vickydiakoumopoulou6387]

I was about to say the same thing!! especially for an everyday look!

[@DanetteFarra-wp5tu]

I haven't tried to telescopic but the Bambi eyes goes on beautifully and I've had numerous compliments.

[@fannyasilberman7373]

What if I want the bambi affect mascara but more volume, which would you recommend?​@DanetteFarra-wp5tu

[@gotadaguaful]

I have tried lash paradise and telescopic mascaras. My favorite is L’Oréal telescope. It works and looks much better for my short eyelashes. The paradise mascara make horrible lumps in my eyelashes. L’Oréal telescope is a winner! ❤️

[@TheStyleBlog]

I really loved the Telescopic for the length & separation, and I agree that the Lash Paradise can definitely get clumpy. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@dyrajeteemini708]

Does the telescopic transfer and is it easy to take it off from your lashes

[@kathrynrice3038]

I watched this to see if i should switch to telescopic from the lash paradise!! Thanks!!!

[@TheStyleBlog]

The telescopic is great for length, but I really think that Lash Paradise delivers on both length & volume! Thanks so much for watching Kathryn 💕

[@mariel4085]

Lash Paradise is not that great imo, it is so messy & Telescopic def beats it hands down.

[@flyingfly2438]

Literally same!

[@kathrynrice3038]

telescopic looks prettier! i love that it doesn't look clumpy. yes the paradise looks "thicker" but in a clumpy and messy way. the telescopic looks wispy and elegant.

[@nedyahferm8820]

I use the telescopic as my first coat, then a coat of a thickening mascara before the telescopic dries. It works so good.

I didn’t like the lash paradise mascara , but the telescopic has been my favorite for years now! ❤️

The L'oreal Voluminous works wonderful for me and it doesn't flake, but I only use the deep green and blue colours. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. 🤔

[@TheStyleBlog]

I'm so glad to hear that! I do wonder if different colors make a difference. I should try the green or blue. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Voluminous 😊

[@southpawtx]

The reason lashes start to droop down and get heavy after applying to your curled lashes is when you use a mascara that is NOT waterproof. A waterproof mascara is like hair spray, itll hold them up and curled.

[@zoedimitriou2022]

Wait actually? I thought it would’ve been the other way around

[@southpawtx]

@@zoedimitriou2022 no actually its not the other way around. Waterproof mascara helps hold the curl placed on the lashes. It's kind of like hairspray or hair gel for your lashes.

[@camrynmcgough2612]

@@southpawtx this is super helpful! thank you

[@selinapashova4387]

Waterproof mascara dries out your lashes a lot more than regular mascara, that's why it's not recommended to use waterproof mascaras

[@southpawtx]

@@selinapashova4387 if you wear it all the time, or have weak lashes, yes. But most ppl dont have that problem. If you're going on the water, a boat, swimming etc, you'll get alice cooper raccoon eyes if you dont use waterproof mascara, that's when regular mascara isnt recommended.

[@jesusismygodsavioursoldier7719]

Thank you so much for doing this review. I purchased the telescopic mascara. I had the exact same problem. I found it hard to place the wand into the tube. I thought it was just me. I loved the mascara but hated putting it back into the tube. You have a new subscriber. You are absolutely beautiful.

[@TheStyleBlog]

Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful, & it honestly makes me feel better knowing the problem isn't just with me! I think that the wand tip is just so flimsy it makes it difficult to get it back in the tube 😣 I agree that it is a great formula though- I love the length it gives to my lashes! Thanks for subscribing- I'm so happy to have you here 😁💗

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

TheStyleBlog You won’t be disappointed. And $5.00 - in Canada.

[@ronaldmcdonald8889]

i think if u would layer the telescopic mascara with a mascara that deliveres volume would be very pretty since the telescopic would look really nice on a thickening mascara and would lengthen and separate the lashes

[@TheStyleBlog]

Absolutely love this idea!

[@forevermia622]

It would be great to see more lifestyle content from you and get to know you more! I know you made a short life update video but I'd be interested in learning more about what motherhood has been like for you, day in the life videos, what it's like to live in your state etc. really anything like that if you'd be interested :)

[@TheStyleBlog]

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I've gotten a lot of comments requesting more vlog-style videos. I would definitely love to incorporate more "behind the scenes" sort of content like around the house & things like that. I think I almost have my husband convinced to make a video with me too so that should be fun. I really really appreciate your suggestions & feedback 😊❤️

[@ofrecentvintage]

I love mascara as well! I have 50 or so (different ones 🥴) in my stash and am not in the market for anymore until I've used more of what I have. That said, this demo has made me mildly interested in the Lash Paradise. Side note: I'm really surprised by your Voluminous Carbon Black experience. That's been my fave for a long time and one of the few mascaras I consistently re-buy. I wonder if you had a bad tube... I definitely hope the formula hasn't changed! Thanks for this side-by-side review!

[@darlenespicer3521]

New here and im staying.... I used voluminous for years but had the same complaints.. I loved seeing them all side by side...❤❤❤

[@Arose444]

same here i feel like voluminious clumps together now and dries out quickly

[@doreen4996]

The telescopic mascara looks better, it looks cleaner and they look curly, and with alot of volume. I have very short eye lashes and wish I could find a good mascara that works for me. I think I may buy the Telescopic mascara.

[@TheStyleBlog]

Hey Doreen, thanks so much for sharing! I do agree that the telescopic looks really clean- I just like huge fake looking voluminous lashes so that's probably why I prefer the Lash Paradise 🤪 I bet the Telescopic would look amazing on short lashes! 💗

[@Alicia652]

I have just tried the L’Oreal Telescopic mascara and had the same issue with the wand. I was hoping it would be more stiff and not so flimsy because it is difficult to reinsert it into the tube. I was impressed with the length my lashes had after using the Telescopic mascara but I have an issue with my lashes “wilting” when a mascara is so wet. I have used waterproof mascara for years but have read where it can cause breakage so I purchased the non-waterproof to give it a try. But after curling my lashes and applying the mascara, they do tend to wilt. I will keep trying and may have to go to the waterproof version.

[@katexlr]

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. Love your Power in this Video, you are georgous. ❤

[@bern1425]

😂😂😂 you made me laugh .. loved watching this, you are very entertaining.. great review❤️

[@fifimsp]

I use the telescopic in carbon black. I use it first then go over with a volumizing mascara.

[@sarahr4204]

Just.catching up on all of your videos. LOVED this comparison!!!! I have only tried the voluminous, and thought it was great-but now I have to try the lash paradise!! Love ya Sara!! :)

[@TheStyleBlog]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words Sarah! For some reason the voluminous & I just didn't get along 😂 I really think it has a lot to do with application technique, eye shape, & your individual eyelashes too, but I did really love the Lash Paradise & thought it blew the Voluminous out of the water on my lashes! Let me know if you try them & how they worked out for you 💗💗💗

[@Respectfully.Tootie]

I’ve been using the original volumous for over 15 years. The Carbon one (right eye) is hard to put on and take off. It’s so dark and thick but wet. It’s a fight w me every time but I love the darkness it gives

[@cindi7228]

Your exclamations are so cute!

[@Shamariah2011]

I had the SAME problem with telescopic. I gave up on it.

[@mariel4085]

Lol the Telescopic is easily the best, its longer & looks cleaner, the Lash Paradise looks more messy & it not as lengthning.

[@debravenezia2843]

Thank you-most helpful! I usually use Voluminous with the Voluminous primer underneath, but I’m going to try Lash Paradise without primer. Why pay twice the price for a similar look?

[@kenziewallace668]

The voluminous works better on people with longer eyelashes

[@TheStyleBlog]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mp4455]

Loreal has the best mascaras

[@ladycallidora]

I've been using "Full 'N Soft" from Maybelline lately. I have used the Loreal Lash Paradise too. Can't make up my mind what brand I prefer yet :-)

[@TheStyleBlog]

Ha, mascara is so hard to definitively find a "favorite" 😁 Full N Soft is definitely on my list to try soon! I've heard so many amazing things about it. Thanks for sharing your faves 💗

[@rociofernandez8505]

I don’t have that problem with the telescopic mascara applicator,I personally don’t like spider lashes I think the telescopic is amazing and has no clumps also is a gentle formula and if you know how to apply it is gonna make you eyes pop

[@orravia]

You can use the telescopic for link and then another coat of the other one to be thick

[@user-gh3cs2my9h]

Also Bambi eyes mascara is bomb you should try it also :)

[@amberdanielle5459]

I use Paradise and Telescopic together for the best eyelashes using only mascara

[@camrynmcgough2612]

after using the telescopic I tried the lash paradise and I was just really disappointed. I didnt like how clumpy it was. I loved how the telescopic gave me great length but the lash paradise just isn't for me

[@kokovenegasmusic]

So glad I watched this review you did a great job I’ve never found a mascara quite like paradise. It is my favorite another thing with paradise that was shocking to me is that at one point I was bummed out because I forgot my eye-lash curler and with paradise you don’t need it. It curls straight lashes just try it you’ll see it’s amazing 😂

[@kokovenegasmusic]

Also u don’t need mascara your eye color is so pretty like the ocean

I have always been partial to L'Oreal mascaras but the lash paradise was super disappointing. It goes on clumpy, dries to quick and didn't lengthen my lashes at all, maybe very little . I think I'll go back to the L'Oreal falsies and Bambi eyes.

I want to try to do more of these videos because I love them so much & it seems like lots of other women love them as well! Thanks for letting me know that's a great one, & yes I was actually pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the Lash Paradise from this video. I'm not sure that I do anything special to keep my lashes in good condition- I just make sure that I don't pick at them & make sure that all of my mascara is removed before bed 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm sorry I wish I had better suggestions for you! I've heard that putting coconut oil &/or vitamin E oil on your lashes before bed can help, but I've never tried it. Thanks for stopping by Katie- I always look forward to your comments ❤️ (&sorry I pretty much wrote you a novel!)

[@sandragregg9079]

Will buy lash paradise. Great demo. How about mascara with fibers? Would love your opinion 😊

[@TheStyleBlog]

Hey Sandra! Thank so much for stopping by! I honestly prefer wearing a primer with fibers. My Lancome Clis XL is my all-time favorite primer & it has fibers. However, I find that when I wear a mascara with fibers it usually tends to flake more than a regular mascara so I usually choose ones without. My all-time favorites are Benefit They're Real, this Lash Paradise, & Maybelline Lash Sensational. Hope that was helpful 💗💗💗
