L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Okay, I said it wouldn’t happen, but it did – Penelope Cruz has done it again! As the ‘Face of L’Oreal’, she’s managed to persuade me once again to part with my hard earned cash, and splash out on yet another of her recommended beauty products, in a bid to convince me that I too, can look like her – this time, it’s L’Oreal’s new Telescopic Mascara. Up until about March of this year, I’d been using a couple of different tried and tested mascaras. ...
...bog-standard Boots No 17 mascara, and other days, (when I felt I needed to look a bit more ‘glam’, I’d don my other favourite (but much more expensive), YSL mascara. Penelope had been shouting out at me to try this new one by L’Oreal in various magazines and TV adverts for weeks, and every time I went into my local Boots the Chemist during my lunch break I would come face to face with her giant cardboard cut out head by the tills, telling me that ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

I bought L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara at Superdrug for £8.99. I bought the black one but it is also available in Brown or Waterproof Black. The tube is gold (the colour not actual gold lol), about 15cm tall and shaped like a mini-telescope (hence the name). When I opened the mascara, the first thing I noticed was the brush. It was unlike anything I had seen before! It’s very skinny; just 4 rows of combs (you’ll see that they form an “x” if you look ...
...also very flexible. The wand is about 12cm long including the handle. I normally apply mascara looking straight into the mirror with my eyes half-shut and comb through my lashes while wriggling the brush at the same time. However, with this mascara, I found that the best way to apply it for maximum coverage was to slowly roll the brush away from you as you comb through the lashes, so that each of the combs go through the lashes one at a time. It ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

L’Oreal telescopic mascara I like to have different mascaras and decided on this one during a recent foray at the supermarket PROMISES... The mascara comes with the promise that lashes will be dramatically longer with twice the intensity, mainly because it apparently has a patented flexible precision brush (whatever that is!)so it seems to be just the kind of thing i am going to Like. It also promises to be opthalmologist and allergy tested and ...
...as being fragrance free. The mascara will also remove easily with soap and water which gives me the impression that it can’t be waterproof. How it Works... The aforementioned patented Flexible Precision Brush lengthens lashes up to 60% and exclusive Carbon Black pigments provide two times the intensity! I am often bemused by how many of these make up products have such exclusive and patented ingredients. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The mascara comes ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

My quest for a perfect mascara has admittedly been half-hearted. To be honest, I don't usually use one just because I've been blessed with such long eyelashes anyway that I don't find it totally necessary. Most tend to give such an extreme look that I look I'm wearing false eyelashes, which is not ideal for an everyday look! So I decided to treat myself to a new one I had heard a bit about and thought might suit my needs, and bought a tube of Loreal ...
...it's high-precision flexible brush provides "telescopic length up to 50% longer" and "cleanly defined, perfectly separated lashes". I bought the Clean Definition version in black, there are also carbon black and brown "normal" (eg non-defining) versions and a black waterproof version. DESIGN AND FUNCTIONALITY The most unusual thing about the mascara to look at is the shape of the tube - it's shaped like a telescope! I kind of enjoyed this because ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Background L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara is a Mascara designed to lengthen your lashes by up to 60% using such a think brush for precision and magnify to give you bold lashes, the brush is also designed to separate each lash. No doubt you've probably seen the adverts with Penelope Cruz wearing the mascara - it looks fantastic on her. Ok…so I knew that there was a 99% chance my lashes wouldn't end up looking like hers, firstly she has lash inserts and ...
...well, anywhere really that sells L'Oreal products. Price & Value In Boots where I got this Mascara from it cost me £8.99, I don't think that's particularly expensive because Mascara's tend to last quite a while and you would get 32 advantage points back if you have a Boots advantage card. I have to say though I wouldn't pay that again and you'll understand why once you've read about my experience. Personal Experience I bought this Mascara because ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

...try this, i bought the L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black which comes in a black tube not the usual Greyish one, as far as im aware they dont have a waterproof one in the Carbon Black but they do in the norman Telescopic range. On taking the wand out of the tube i was shocked, i wondered how on earth this tiny wand would make any difference to my lashes there is 4 rows of combs which look like an "X" and they are so small. There does not look like there ...
...say about it however i would say that if someone was after more volume this perhaps is not the Mascara for them as although L'Oreal do not claim this makes lashes have more volume i think it gives quite enough for me but maybe not so much for everyone else. ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

For a long while now, I've been using the Maybelline 'Define a Lash' mascara - & I've always thought highly of it. However, the other day it finally occured to me that although I'd been "bigging it up" all these months...it actually wasn't as good as I'd thought/made it out to be. After looking at other peoples eyelashes, mine looked non-existant in comparison. So after digging through my make-up bag, I suprisingly found a brand new telescopic mascara ...
...got round to using!!! PACKAGING:- A rather funny colour...I don't know, it's a mix of bronze/gold/dull grey?? Lets just say it looks like a cheap gold colour haha. The base of the mascara is large so you can stand the mascara up, & is very stable. I find this very helpful as usually the mascara bottle rolls everywhere!! However with this, you can rest assured it is going nowhere. The word 'telescopic' is written in black writing covering the whole ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

...size of a suitcase!! L'oreal have been advertising their new telescopic mascara on tv lately. And although I already have 3 mascaras in my collection, I couldn't help getting sucked in by the image of Penelope Cruz fluttering her loverly lashes (even though they're probably false lashes or enhanced for the ad). So off I went to my local Boots to see what I could find... The mascara was easy to find....I just headed for the massive cardboard cutout ...
...is black and brown. L'oreal claim that this mascara will give you 60% longer lashes and that the precision brush will leave no clumps. The mascara brush twists open. The handle it easy to grip and the brush looks rubbery and is quite flexible. It's not caked in mascara so I know it's not going to be thick and clumpy. The application is great. It goes on smoothly and is easy to apply the right amount. I find that some other mascaras are too think ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

The colour of the L’Oreal Paris Telescopic mascara is black, it is not waterproof, and the mascara does not smell at all. The wand of the mascara is like a comb with four lines of rubbery spikes, it’s not as leathful as it sounds. I t creates long defined lashes like I’ve never had before, it goes on really easy and doesn’t clump, the comb like wand separates the eyelashes as you brush through the lashes. You get 8ml of black mascara and I found ...
...wand applies what is needed to the eyelashes and it does that by the comb, brushing off what isn’t needed. The cost of the mascara can be around £7.99 to £9.99 depending on where you go, you can get it from most stores such as boots, superdrugs etc... The mascara pot is gold and starts off small and the gets slightly bigger to look like the telescope, which is the name of the mascara (telescopic). The slogan on the mascara says it magnifies at ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

I love this product! It comes in a double ended package. You begin by putting a white thickening undercoat on your lashes, which takes about a minute to dry. You then layer the black mascara on top of it. I have long but straight eyelashes which don't respond at all to being curled, however this gives them a curled effect and lifts the upper lashes 'opening up' your eyes. It gives dramatic, almost fake looking eyelashes. As well as the appearance, ...
...I usually find with mascaras that I'm left with black smudges under my eyes even after removing make up the night before then showering in the morning. However this mascara comes off in a unique way with just warm water and gently rubbing the lashes, which I feel minimises wear and tear on the delicate under eye skin. In summary, if you want dramatic, thick long and curly lashes this is for you, if you're a fan of the no-make up look then look elsewhere. ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

This is my favourite mascara by far! Trust me I have gone through quite a few. No other mascara has seperated my lashes with such precision. It also gives a great lenght to otherwise not there eyelashes. It is not at all clumpy and one coat for me does the trick. The flexible brush enables you to be able to grad those stray lashes of yours and works them into a nice curl. Removing it though isn't that easy but who cares when you have great eyes! It is a bit pricey but I would definitely buy it again. ...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

i read some reviews on this product and was already too persuaded by the advertisements to believe them and it's just as well i didn't. this is a fantastic product! i do not use waterproof mascara so maybe that is why i am a lot more pleased than others but aside from the waterproof factor, it is the perfect mascara. it separates and lengthens my lashes and they look great! the applicator doesn't hold lots of mascara so it doesn't clump and the mascara ...
...the rim of the tube. but yeah if any one experienced clumping or thought it was not lengthening your lashes then dip the applicator in the tube a couple of times so that the mascara is mixed. the friction will heat the mascara a bit so that the particles separate and it will reduce clumping. try it! it works! i also have sensitive eyes and this did not irritate me at all. ...

***Product description*** L'Oreal Telescopic is a magnifying and lengthening mascara with a precision mulit-comb for 60% longer lashes - lashes are magnified and separated without clumping. Precision multi comb: Flexible and expert, the Precision Multi-Comb magnifies the lashes at the base as if they were defined by a subtle trace of eyeliner The Multi-Comb stretches the ultra-smooth formula right from the base of your lashes to their tips for ...
...lashes in the process!. L'Oreal recently received criticism when it was revealed that Penelope Cruz who was modelling the product on the advert was wearing false lashes at the time, however I would like to say that the mascara definitley gives the illusion of longer lashes. Im not too sure about the 60% longer lashes claim that L'Oreal make but I can safely say that it makes a difference to the length of lashes. The applicator is aptly designed, ...
