At first glance: L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara

I dont really splurge on mascaras. I think out of all makeup products, I hate buying mascaras the most because I find them so disposable. A mascaras shelf life is around 2- 3 months. I never get to finish one tube by the time I have to dispose them.

I usually go for Lancome Mascaras though because they work so well, theyre lengthening and volumizing as they claim to be. However, I got curious to try a new one. The Telescopic Explosion Mascara, I really like the wand cause its so cute haha. And it looks like it would make mascara application on other people a lot easier.




See, doesnt it look like a medieval weapon up close? haha



A few years ago, I got to try the first (I think?) Telescopic mascara it came in that gold tube and had a slightly curved wand. I loved how it lengthened my lashes but personally I needed a more volumizing mascara.








A bit of product sticks on the wand






No mascara vs. Curled lashes with Telescopic Mascara






Curled lashes, no mascara VS. Curled lashed with Telescopic Mascara




Initial Review

What I like about it:
- Honestly, I really just like the cute wand haha
- The wand grabs just the right amount of product to prevent clumping
- Allows you to brush on the lashes much easier than regular mascara wands
- Stays put. Ive washed my face and there was minimal smudging. You really need a makeup remover to get rid of it though with just a few swipes of makeup remover its completely gone.

What you should consider:
- I have to bring up my letter to Loreal again, haha. This isnt locally available, booo!
- Though the wand prevents clumping, quite a bit of product gets stuck to the stick of the wand. If you dont apply the mascara at the right angle, you'll end up with clumped lashes
- Im not particularly impressed with the formula, I dont find it lengthening or volumizing.


I'll post an update on this after i've road tested it for quite some time. Overall, its a good mascara to use especially if use false lashes. If you need more volume and lengthening though, this isnt for you.
