L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara > Reviews (46)

After yet another clearout of all my make-up Ive managed to write a massive list of all the products I have yet to review so I thought Id try and get a few of them done today - particularly the Loreal ones before they go back down a tier hehe. So I thought Id start with this 'L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara' which I bought a few months back when I found it on sale in Boots. Ive tried a lot of mascaras over the years so I like to think I know what makes a good one and what makes a terrible one and after trying a few of L'Oreal's other mascara offerings I have to say I was not holding out a lot of hope for this one. Surprisinly though this one is actually a great mascara one that Im glad I found because Ill be using it very regularly from now on.

Useful Information:

I actually have a different tube to the one shown in the image with this review - I think I might own the slightly newer version so Ill be describing that one. The packaging for this one is pretty cute as it is gold/silver metallic in colour and in the shape of a telescope - I thought that was a nice touch its definitely a better design than most mascara tubes. The name of the product and brand is clearly stated on the front and on the back is some information about the product - shelf life, shade, recycling information etc but no ingredients so if your looking for those your better off checking the Boots website especially if you have certain allergies. The wand handle is long enough to get a good grip on when it comes to application so packaging wise Im impressed.

The actual wand I would describe as normal which is just fine by me - I cant stand mascaras that claim to be loads better just because the brush is an odd shape. The brush is quite long and almost totally straight - it is slightly angled and its rubbery and seems to be very flexible. When you pull the wand out a good amount of mascara is picked up on the brush and the mascara itself I would say is just the right consistency - not too thick but not too runny its as perfect as it can get in my opinion. No terrible odour and as near to perfect consistency as L'Oreal could hope to get so another winning point.

Applying this is very easy - the brush is a normal shape so it doesnt go everywhere and it fits my lashes from root to tip perfectly - I get just the right amount on the brush each time so I dont have to keep getting more and more on the wand. With just one coat this definitely makes my lashes look MUCH longer and surprisingly adds quite a bit of volume as well, 2 coats is more than enough for me because it makes my lashes so much longer and appear much thicker so its a winner for me. One coat is enough for the more natural daytime look and two coats is perfect for nightime so you dont need to use loads and loads to create a great look.

This isnt clumpy and doesnt flake off easily either - it actually looks like that could be your natural lashes just longer and thicker - none of that spider leg look! A really brilliant mascara that I dont hesitate to recommend - after all this time could I have found my No1 mascara? I hope so!!

Thanks For Reading.
