L'Oréal ParisMascara, Telescopic Mascara to Achieve Dramatic Length & Definition, Intense Black Pigment, Smudge-Proof and Long-Wearing Formula for All-Day Wear, 8ml

One of my favourite mascaras for the past 20 years! I have long but stubborn eyelashes that don’t like to curl or separate — they can be a bit chaotic. But the brush of this mascara is magic! It separates my lashes perfectly and makes them go exactly where I want. After applying a few coats, it gives the effect of false eyelashes — I often get asked if they’re natural or fake! I think the brown colour makes it look even more natural.

I have bought and worn this mascara for at least 5 years now , for me it is the BEST at drugstore prices . I was always trying new mascaras and believing everything it said on the package . This mascara lengthens and lifts even my teeny short lashes and fans them out beautifully without too much faffing , there are several shades of Black for whichever intensity you want . Best price for the Best Product . And it doesn’t dry out quickly in the tube which is a sophisticated shade of satin gold .

Really does work,I have fine blonde sparse lashes it lifted lengthened and curled in one stroke with no clumping. On the downside,it arrived as others have commented on with the seal broken.I am hoping it does not cause any eye problems,here's hoping not!

The perfect mascara - the hunt is over and I’ve found my perfect eye opener. My flutter lash bestie. I’ve not been blessed with lashes and with deep set eyes, I need all the help I can get. This mascara is clutter free, lengthens and thickens my lashes ages doesn’t smudge even in the heat.

A little bit concerned about the lack of the normal safety wrapping.I did read this same concern in other reviews.

I have tried many mascara's throughout the years (from cheap to expensive high end ones), and this is the one I keep coming back to. It has a nice smooth formula, does not clump, and the wand makes the application easy. While not a waterproof mascara (though there is a version of waterproof telescopic mascara too), it does not smudge or glide off unless your face gets wet in the rain. It has a neutral cosmetic smell, and is not perfumed unlike certain other mascara's out there (Louis Vuitton mascara: I'm looking at you!).If you prefer a natural look: don't be deterred by the name. While it does say "false lash"; unless you're wearing false lashes, this mascara will not make you look like you are. I think the name is more of a gimmick to make consumers associate the effect of this mascara with something so unattainable, it could only be fake. Do not be fooled, the result of your eyelashes will depend on the application technique used more than anything else, but a good formula and wand does go a long way in attaining that result!Speaking of application technique; when the mascara is brand new, it does tend to have quite a lot of product come off on the lashes with the first swipe. My solution is to keep working with the product until I reach the desired look, a good tip is to try the zig-zag technique. I noticed some Amazon users have commented on there being too much product coming off and therefore rating this product poorly, but with my experience I can say that I'd rather have a mascara with a bit too much product when brand new, than a mascara with the perfect amount of product when new, but which then dries out quicker than quick after only a few uses. The telescopic mascara lasts me 6 months, and only starts to show signs of drying out near the end of those 6 months.The wand is made out of plastic and rubber, and while not the most environmentally friendly, it does a good job of separating the lashes and applying product beautifully. If there is one change I would suggest to L'Oréal, it would be to look into more environmentally friendly and sustainable ways of sourcing products and materials used. If this were to happen, I would be more inclined to try out more of their products following the success of how happy I have been with the formula of this one. I like the fact that the wand is very thin with lots of small rubber bristles as it allows me to apply product onto the lower lashes without mascara rubbing off on the lower eyelids. The wand being a rather sturdy type of rubber with the aforementioned bristles is a nice thing for me as it means I can use it to brush through the eyelashes as opposed to just rubbing product on top of the lashes.The packaging is a nice pale gold with quite a minimalist look, but personally this does not affect my opinion as I care more about what the product does for me than how it looks on the outside.As a tip to any make-up user: I would say to keep an eye on the expiration date. Mascara's tend to expire after 6 months (this particular one expires after 6 months), which is when I would advise you to throw it out and replace it with a new one. This is not *only* because the product dries out and becomes crumbly and difficult to apply, but it is mainly to do with bacterial build-up. Any make-up product will have an expiry date, and it is important to keep track of because if you use it long past its expiration, it could lead to infections. In order to keep track of when your product expires, my tip is to take a permanent marker and write the date of when the product was first opened and used on the packaging. That way you can easily keep track of when it is time to buy a new one.I enjoy writing reviews to help others make the right purchases.

The wand is fine and works well, however product was not hygienically wrapped and mascara was dry....... disappointing

I’ve always been a They’re Real by Benefit lover then tried the Maybelline Sensational Sky High for a bit but that dries up even quicker than the Benefit one!Anyway, I’ve literally found my new favourite with this one! Not had it long so not sure if it dries out quickly yet too, but so far it’s been amazing.I have really long, very light blonde lashes and with just one coat of this I get thicker, and fuller lashes. Really impressed. Would recommend!
