L'Oreal recently launched the new
Lash Paradise Mascara and immediately I wanted to try it out. First of all because I love testing out new mascaras, but also because the packaging and wand looked very similar to the
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. I love to find a good high-end mascara dupe. So let's get into it, is it a dupe?!
The packaging between both mascaras is a light pink, although the
Too Faced's is a bit bigger and much heavier. There is almost the exact same amount of actual product in both though, .27oz and .28oz.
The wands are both hourglass shaped which was not exclusive to the
Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, but it was an identifying feature. The
Lash Paradise also has a hourglass shaped wand and tons of bristles.
As far as formula,
Lash Paradise is a drier formula.
BTS is a wetter formula, but I have noticed that it dries up much quicker than other mascaras I've tried.

I really think we have a dupe here. I got the same look from both of them and wore one on each eye and wore it out in public. They looked the same to me. This is definitely a case where you can save some cash. Can you tell the difference between these eyes? The left is BTS and the right is Lash Paradise.
I hope this review helped you. Have you tried either or both of these mascaras out? Let me know your thoughts down below and if you think this is a dupe or not!
