Product Review: L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara
I first got excited to try L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion mascara when I saw a commercial for it on TV. They weren't the first to come out with this type of mascara wand, but definitely the first ones to make it a little more affordable.
Givenchy came out with this interesting little ball-shaped wand before L'Oreal, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend nearly $27 on a mascara. (Even if it was really tempting!
) Pictured below is Givenchy's Phenomen'Eyes mascara. As you can see, the applicators are really similar.
(photosource.) Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara $28 @ Sephora
I can't compare Telescopic explosion to Phenomen'Eyes, but I can say that this type of applicator does make it really easy to get every lash. L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion's formula is really good. Its not clumpy and doesn't flake. I wore it all day for a couple days to try it out and it didn't leave little flakes around my eyes like some mascaras do.
I took some pictures to show how it did add some length to my lashes.. It didn't thicken them too much, but I was still really satisfied with how easily I could even get the little lashes and the ones in the corners of my eyes without getting them clumped together.
Before...
After...
I got it in blackest black. For being $7.99 at Target, this mascara is definitely worth getting. Its one of my favorites now.
What mascara are you using? Have you tried Telescopic Explosion? Do you want to?

My sister had the Givenchy mascara, I think she liked it. I don't think we have the L'oreal mascara where I live. if not would try it.
i always want to try Loreal Telescopic but I just worry that it wouldnt give me a dramatic effect I want lol. I'm using Loreal Collagen mascara and also Double Extension Serum mascara (however oyu call it lol). I'm very happy with the result they have on my lashes.

BUT, The Collagen one would get my lashes clumped together, since it'd give you a massive dolly-false lashes looking volume lol
The other one i just use it when i go to Uni, it just gives you a natural longer lashes but it has serum in it- anti breakage :)
I use Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara. I friggin LOVE it :) And it's not super expensive :) I don't think i'd try the l'oreal one, it doesn't look all that great tbh. Though it's good it doesn't clump n stuff (but my max factor one doesn't clump either).
xoxoP.S. I like your eyeshadow on the bottom pic :)@THiiNSPiiR3_M3@xanga - I think I'll try the one you're using next. :)
The eyeshadow is Ransom by Urban Decay. :)
@rhea - Klkl. I recommend getting the brown/black one rather than just plain black. It looks better :)
Oooh cool, I might buy it just in case i suddenly get awesome with eyeshadow haha :)
Nice pics from your camera. It showed good details of what the mascara can get ... Didn't know it was a "knockoff" of Givenchy...good BUY.
when an examination would have shown that it was unfeasible. This can lead to a greater incidence of adverse side effects being felt by those people who take generic Viagra online
. This is not necessarily an indication of the effectiveness of the medication, but rather of the restrictions on buying generic Generic Cialis
