From Microscopic to Telescopic!!!

Advantages: Creates long, luscious lashes with no clumps, inexpensive
Disadvantages: Difficult to remove from its packaging

...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. Each day would vary between me using my cheap 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...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Telescopic Lashes

Advantages: Long defined lashes
Disadvantages: It takes a while to dry

...I'm a nightmare when it comes to make up. I can never seem to finish a product before I've found another one (or two!) that I want to try. And so, I've ended up with a make up bag the 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 of Penelope's head! There wasn't many left so I'm guessing that it's been selling quite well. The price of the mascara was £8.99 but Boots had an offer on and I got it for £6.99. It comes in...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

The Telescopic L'Oreal Mascara

Advantages: long, defined, spacious lashes
Disadvantages: tad expensive,

...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 that it has lasted me forever but that?s because the 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...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Take your lashes to Telescopic lengths!

Advantages: Great length and volume, wicked brush, great value for money
Disadvantages: Erm... I can't think of any

...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 at the brush from the bottom of the wand). It?s 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...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

My perfect Mascara-L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Advantages: The volume, Price,
Disadvantages: Non that i can think of

...After searching for what seemed like forever for a mascara that lived up to its hype i finally found one i love, this to me is the Holy Grail of Mascara. I purchased this Mascara from Boots for £8.99 which i thought was a resonable price and alot cheaper than my usually YSL mascara. I wanted a change from my usual mascara as i found that it was drying out quite quickly and paying £20.00 was starting to annoy me. So after buying alot of different Mascara's which didnt live up to their hype in my opinion, i decided to try this one. After getting home i was so excited to 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...

Eye To The Telescope

Advantages: Shes refreshing for the most part...
Disadvantages: ...shes a bit too Norah sometimes!

...Welcome to the sublime world of KT Tunstall! Not well known (yet!) she has just released ?Eye To The Telescope? her debut album. Single ?Black Horse & The Cherry Tree? is getting lots of airplay both on radio and on MTV etc! Seeing and hearing this I thought the mix of Texas like vocals and catchy beats I would be interested in the album. Then AndyMc1976 gave me a copy (naughty I know) and I was really impressed. The album starts with the haunting ?Other Side Of The World? a guitary mid tempo affair. This song is really catchy thanks to the guitar riff! Her vocals particularily whilst singing ?other side? are stunning. She has a very pure voice slightly deep voice, with a hint of gravel to it making her sound quite original. A nice opener. Claps and dark beats (with deep cello notes) start ?Another Place To Fall?. This is quite...

Review of Eye To The Telescope - K.T. Tunstall

Great telescope for serious amateurs

Advantages: Easy to use and good for beginners
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for a decent size

...I've been trained on a 10" LX200 Meade as part of my astrophysics course. It's easy to use and simple to start finding your way around the sky. It's quick to set up after the intitial input of data such as your latitude and longtitude etc. It can be set up with an adapted mechanical camera or with a CCD for the serious amateur. It's a fairly robust telescope and fully motorised. This means you can put in a star's coordinates and hit 'goto' and it will locate the star. It comes with a catalogue containing the coordiantes of many stars, planets and deep sky objects. You simply enter a code for the object and the telescope will locate it. This makes for quick and easy viewing but can take out some of the fun of optical astronomy. It has good resolution, optics and a variety of accessories that come with it, although these are...

Review of Meade LX200

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Advantages: It instantly lengthens and magnifies the lashes up to each stroke.
Disadvantages: It does'nt give much volume to the lashes as i would have expected.

...I was first introduced to the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara through word of mouth by one of my friends and at first to be honest i was a bit sceptical about buying it because i thought that this product will be just like any other mascara on the market that does'nt fulfill my total satisfaction. I can say that i proved myself wrong because this is one mascara that does exactly what it says on the tin. The brush is slightly curved and the bristles are extremely soft and gentle which instantly lengthens and magnifies my lashes. I even found that with this mascara, when i applied it that my whole face seemed to be brightened and you can see the dramatic difference it makes to your lashes as well. It adds instant glamour. I am sure that the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara will attract a lot of young audience like myself and i can't wait to tell all...

Review of L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

Telescopic Tot

Advantages: small, light, long-lasting
Disadvantages: none

...There may be parents of tots who?d fancy the possibility of having telescopic ones so that they can fold them and put them away in their shopping bags when they?re too nerve-wracking in front of the supermarket till, for example; alas, this review offers no consolation for them. The German word for tot is Knirps which is also the brand name of the best known telescopic umbrella in this country and the topic of my review. Considering that it has always rained and that the sun has always shone since human beings have lived on this planet it?s surprising that they didn?t invent the umbrella as we know it much earlier. We can imagine Fred and Wilma Flintstone (exchange for Adam and Eve if you?re a creationalist) putting large rhubarb leaves on their heads when the weather was too extreme either way, but the idea to put a stick underneath...
