L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Explosion Mascara Reviews
#801 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!

    Great mascara! Adds a lot of volume and definition without using several coats. This mascara tends to dry out very very fast though.

    I really didn't expect much out of this mascara when I first got it. It looked different and I liked trying new things when it came to make up. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it worked. I didn't have any clumping problems and the mascara brush made it easy to get every lash on my lids. Works great! Makes my eyelashes look perfect! Definitely recommend!

    I recieved this as a gift from a friend. I am up to trying a new product, so I gave it a whirl.
    I loved the shape of the brush. There is nothing I hate more when you are applying mascara and one little sudden movement gets a swipe of mascara all over your lid. This tiny brush gives you the freedom to apply at any angle.
    I also love how it makes a great dramatic look for your eyes. Great for a night out. Lashes look thick and long.
    I know I will be buying this product in the future.

    This is the only mascara I have purchased more than once. I have tried many mascaras but none of them would make my eyelashes look like they do on tv. I know this one was a bit prices, but I decided to give a try and anyways. This was about 2 years ago and I've been using it ever since. I tried the waterproof and non waterproof and both work well. The brush is small which allows you to get every single eye lash, including the baby ones in the corner.

    This is based on my experience with the waterproof version in black.

    Pros:
    - Good price, bought it during Rexall's half off mascara sale with a coupon
    - holds curl nicely
    - it did separate my lashes and define them

    Cons:
    - Brush is awkward, feels floppy while you're trying to apply the mascara. I also don't find the shape helpful for applying to the more difficult to reach lashes.
    - Formula was really wet in the beginning and clumped my lashes together, it's a little better now after a month
    - smudges after 3 hours of wear (I have oily lids but this pretty fast for a waterproof mascara)
    - didn't really lengthen or volumize

    Overall I wouldn't recommend this mascara, there are much better brush shapes and formulas one can buy for the same price point. I was disappointed in the smudging and for the extra time it took to coat the lashes and comb through them because of the clumping the result was lack luster, definitely not worth it.

    I am a frequent mascara buyer/user/tester and to my disappointment L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion was not my favourite purchase. The brush is different from anything I had ever tried before and it did live up to it's promise - it will touch every last individually. However, it doesn't do anything to add volume and my lashes were left feeling a little thin.

    Now, having said that I do like using this mascara for my bottom lashes because they don't need as much volume; instead they need individual attention and L'Oreal's brush is perfect for that!

    I recently purchased this mascara at Costco where they had 2 mascara and an eye liner for this price so I decided to try it. At first I thought this little round wand would make it take forever to apply the product. I was wrong, it didn't take long at all, it let me separate the lashes and left them looking full and long. I really enjoyed using this product so much I went back and bought 2 more pkgs. at this low price. In the other stores it is around 10.00 just for one mascara.

    This mascara is supposed to extend, separate, lengthen and fan out lashes. As a woman who has light, short, and straight lashes, I am always looking for new mascara to make it look like I have lashes! This is the best mascara I have found that does that! My lashes look long and fanned out, but there is one problem: the applicator. It's a little spiky ball, which is hard to use. As soon as I pulled the brush out, there was too much mascara on it, so I had to scrape it off on the side. Then when I try to apply it, it gets clumpy and I have to use another brush to get the clumps out. Overall this mascara works well, but the brush is a bit of a problem.

    I was pretty excited to try this mascara as I have really blond rooted lashes, especially in the corners of my eyes (which are dead give aways making it clear I am not naturally blessed with thick full dark lashes ). However, it was really a let down. A lot of the mascara comes off on the long wand ( not the actual applicator) and besides smearing all over my face, that just seems wasteful and like a bad deal. The orb applicator itself is fine for the little corner lashes, but it cant separate the bulk of the lashes properly, Also the actual formula of the mascara leaves a lot to be desired. It dried out quickly and was a little flakey. I'd say using it paired with another mascara to get the corner lashes and really getting that full fan look is the best use of this. On it's own however, well it leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, I think it's fun to have in your bag of tricks for a night out, but not for everyday use.
