L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara Reviews
#802 in Mascara

Description

When applying your mascara, are some lashes inaccessible? L'Oreal Paris came up with the perfect solution, Telescopic Explosion! Its new Flexi-Globe brush can be used from any angle. Horizontally, it captures even short and fine lashes and vertically, it coats each and every lash from root to tip. Your lashes are fanned out, beautifully lengthened. A very spectacular effect!

    I hated this mascara. It made my lashes clump together. It was easy to maneuver around and the packaging is cool but it just doesn't work. I got it as a gift but I've seen the price in drugstores and it's way too high.

    This mascara is horrible! It has the tiniest little brush that takes 5X as long to apply, and it doesn't lengthen anymore than the other mascaras they have!

    I usually use the original Telescopic mascara, and I love it. When I saw the Explosion wand I thought it was a great idea. However, when applying the mascara my eyes began to water and burn! While the wand would propbably do an amazing job, I couldn't get past the burning and watering. They must have changed the product mixture for this one. I don't know why though, the original would have worked awesome with this brush!

    This mascara was a huge disappointment! I have very short blond tipped lashes and this product did nothing but clump all over my lashes just like a lot of other mascaras i have tried. The only way I was able to get an even coat was to wipe most of the product off the wand...now that is a waste of money!

    I received this product in the mail from L'Oreal to test out. I was very intrigued to use it because of all of the advertisements. Although, I was quickly let down. There is just something about a mascara wand that is shaped like a medieval mace that makes me nervous. It was difficult to use because the bristles were short and didn't cover a large section of my lashes. Once applied it was so light it looked like I wasn't even wearing mascara - so I'm not even sure if the mascara itself (with a different brush) would be very good. Definitely not an item I'd recommend or buy in the future.

    This mascara was the hugest dissapointment ever!
    It simply makes no sense. I couldn't even apply it properly. I poked my eyes with it several times in a few attempts to master it. When I did manage to actually get it on my lashes, it clumped like crazy! Chunks of the product were deposited stucking my lashes together for the horror spider leg look. I have tried incorporating it in my routine, trying to apply it only to my exterior corner lashes, which are usually the hardest to get. No luck here either! The thick bizare brush only managed to stuck both upper and lower lashes together into a huge tarantula leg! The horror!!!
    Needles to say I washed it off right away. I didn't even get a chance to try it out really. I couldn't see how well it lasts, or if it flakes, or if it dries fast!
    The brush is a total failure in my oppinon. It's so chunky and made it impossible for my to apply, leave alone get the "telescopic" look.
    This has to be the worst mascara I have ever tried. Ever.

    Don't even think about it.

    I was very excited about using this mascara, as I have thin eyelashes. The packaging is attractive and from the ad's it seems like it would be amazing. Once I got the packaging open i was surprised at the tiny round brush and wasn't sure it was going to work.

    Upon application I was very un-amazed! The wand is very long and then has a small ball of spikes at the bottom, and the mascara is very thick. I had to wipe off the wand each time as the first swipe over my lashes also gave a swipe of mascara on the side of my face!

    Once I figured out how to hold the wand i was pleased with the fact that my eyelashes did appear longer. However, they were also stuck together in a series of black clumps. I thought that maybe it may have been because the mascara was new, but I find each and every time I apply this mascara I have to go over the lashes with another clean mascara brush to pull them apart.

    This makes the product undesirable to me as I have tried other mascara's that do not need as much maintenance and still give me nice lashes. I would not buy this product again.

    So friggen CLUMPY!!! Hated it! And I usually like L'Oreal products. This one was $10 down the drain. I tossed it after trying it all different ways and it still clumped up like crazy and went on way too heavy. I like full and soft by L'Oreal, thats hwy I gave this a try...But I will never buy it again.

    This crap clumps like crazy!! you have to wipe off so much excess to even get a decent look. I think they shold not have tried to copy a high end Givenchy mascara in the first place. This is terrible! don't wast the $.
