L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara: adequate.

Advantages: Good wand; not too expensive.
Disadvantages: Nothing special.

What is it, and what does it claim to do? A mascara from popular brand L'Oreal. The one that I purchased was black, but I have also tried the black/brown version. Of the two, I use the black version more often. Packaging Comes in a cardboard backed plastic pack, that is easily removed. Application and Removal No different from any other mascara, you remove the wand and apply it to the eyelashes, from root to tip. Most beauty ...
...From the inside third, to the middle, to the outside third. It doesn't clump, and over the course of he day it doesn't fall off the lashes onto ones cheek, unlike some other mascars that I've used in the past. Personally, I haven't found that it lengthens my lashes all that much, or thickens them - but it does define them nicely for everyday use. The standard version that I purchased was not waterproof, but it is available. Price I was given ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Not exactly MaxFactor's pièce de résistance!

Advantages: Good, subtle daytime look, easy to remove
Disadvantages: Doesn't deliver on promises, no volume or definition :(

...you want more volume, Masterpiece Max is also available. You can buy online for a number of stockists and for various prices. It's widely available on the high street too – I bought mine from Boots for £8.80. I think that this is a reasonable amount to pay for a mascara. Final Thoughts Although I think this is a reasonable mascara at a reasonable price, suitable for daytime wear, I feel a bit disappointed that it doesn't deliver on its promises ...
...remain optimistic in my search for the perfect mascara and so, it's onwards and upwards... I've said that I would recommend this to a friend for the simple reason that I have had friends ask me about this mascara and I didn't actively discourage them from buying. For a daytime look, for a subtle, understated look, it is a really nice mascara - nice to wear, comfortable, easy to remove. It has a lot going for it. BUT it does not do what it says on ...

Review of Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara

Not so 'bad'.....gives a thick dose of come to bed eyes!

Advantages: Adds real volume without giving a gunked effect!
Disadvantages: The price

...need. I stumbled across benefit while Christmas shopping last year, and have been converted ever since. It's not only a treat for yourself, but makes a lovely present! If you are not used to a larger brush it can take a little bit of practice to get used to it. Once mastered, this mascara does not clump, smudge or run. Although not waterproof I find the only way to move this mascara is with makeup remover, meaning it lasts all day long. TO top it ...

Review of BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Supersize your lashes!!!!!!

Advantages: Really works! lengthens, thickens & conditions!, different sized tubs
Disadvantages: Expensive, hard to find

When i first heard of this product I was skeptical about it's claims. "Talika's Lipocils Eyelash Treatment Gel combats this with specific, natural ingredients. In just 28 days eyelashes grow naturally longer and thicker." No product can make your eyelashes grow in a month i thought! Well I was wrong! I decided to purchase this after being fed up with my thin straight lashes which never seemed to look any better with mascara! After reading numerous ...
...not seen this anywhere on the high-street - I vaguely remember QVC selling it but now it's a cancelled item! so online i went to search for it!! I bought the 10ml bottle as it seemed better value than the 4.2ml and started using it as soon as i received it. The formula itself is just like clear mascara - a clear gel substance but it isn't as thick as the mascara. so every night for two or three weeks i applied the gel to my top and bottom eyelashes ...

Review of Talika Lipocils

The Goddess of Mascaras

Advantages: Gorgeous long lashes...does exactly what it says on the tin!
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

Every wondered if your stumpy lashes could possibly look longer without the use of falseys? Ever spent loads of cash on every new lengthening mascara to pop onto the market? Stop! This is THE mascara for you. The classy gold packaging makes you feel like you're posh before you even apply the product and the mascara itself lives up to your expectations. Its creamy texture applies evenly and the results are staggering. The scent is lovely and unlike ...
