L'oreal Telescopic Mascara By Mgrey11 By mgrey11 on Feb 05, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I'm not terribly impressed with this mascara. It claims to 'telescopically' lengthen and separate your lashes using a dual applicator that has a flat side (to lengthen your lashes) and a brush side (to separate them.) I think that the brush is poorly designed and the product dispenses too much mascara at a time. Because of this, the application is often messy and clumpy. The mascara does not add any volume to your lashes and does not separate your lashes. It's best to use a separate lash comb after application so you get some definition. With that said, it does give lots of length and it provides glossy color, and doesn't smudge which is nice. It's annoying that even though it's not waterproof, you do need an eye makeup remover to get rid of it. It claims to wash away with just soap and water, but you are left with dark smudges all over your eyes and upper cheeks. You can't just simply wash it away. If you love it, that's great because you can easily find it at most stores and it's fairly inexpensive. It retails for about eight dollars. I find this mascara to be average at best.
