FIRST IMPRESSIONS: L'Oréal Paris Paradise Castor Oil Enriched Mascara

My eyelashes aren't the darkest, longest or curliest.

I have applied one layer on my right eye (left in the picture), it is definitely very dark and my lashes look longer.

I have applied one coat to the other eye and another coat on my right eye (left in the picture), you can see the difference a second coat is.

Two coats of mascara on both eyes and they look longer and very intense.

Makeup applied and the mascara looks quite good.

Update #1 (8:30pm): My eyelashes have dropped and are not as full, intense but it has been a while since being applied.

I like this mascara, at first it looks amazing, it isn't one of those where the eyelashes look the same throughout the day, I am going to continue to use this mascara.
