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.
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. It's 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?

- About Me: I guess you could say most of what I wear is inspired by the music I listen to. I love skinny jeans and band t-shirts, but I also love sophisticated things like heels and pearls. So I suppose my style could be called "sophisticated and edgy." I love making plain band t's into something more girly. For make up, I love dramatic eyes! On most days I'll wear a smokey eye look, with lots of pink blush, and nude lips. Purple is my favorite color of eyeshadow because it really brings out brown eyes. And lots of black! I love really dark make up looks.

I use Covergirl waterproof LashBlast and LOVE it, but I thought this mascara looked pretty interesting...
the after shot looks spidery and clumpy... I think I'll pass...
I would like to try the wand for the tiny lashes on the ends, but I don't think I'd use it as my main mascara.
I used Avon's SuperShock mascara. Avon has changed a lot from the Avon that old ladies used to buy from. I love it.
My favourite used to be the Bourjois Volume Clubbing one, but my favourite is now the Avon one
I have the Givenchy one. It makes my lashes looks straight up amazing. But I agree, it is expensive... Maybe I'll give this one a shot.
This mascara trend with the ball on the wand is an absolute fail!
That looks awful.
i don't think it did anything special, but i really like your eyeshadow!
It does a good job on me. But it smells HORRIBLE. It smells like turpentine.
