Best New Drugstore Mascara!

3 years ago
-lasted 12+ hours! Full day wear! -lashes were lifted all day long, haven't been able to find a mascara that hasn't weighed down my lashes in ages. Competes with if not BETTER than higher end. From the moment I applied the product after I curled my lashes, my lashes stayed upright, curled & defied gravity all day long —and I'm talking about 12+ hours long! I love waterproof mascara & this is the best drugstore one I've tried thus far. The formula doesn't weigh my lashes down at all and keeps them curled which is a miracle for my lashes. This is such a beautiful lengthening mascara, i noticed a significant difference just by applying a single coat. The more coats, the more dramatic the look and you can easily layer more without it getting clumpy. It didn't leave my lashes clumpy as long as you brush out the product. Just as with every mascara, wipe most of the product off the wand to better control amount of product applied and to minimize clumping. I love the brush, there are two sides (flat for packing and bristles for brush through lashes) and I find it incredibly useful and beneficial to brush through my lashes & preventing them from clumping. When dried, my lashes stayed in place but didn't feel dry or crunchy! My lashes were soft to the touch and didn't experience any flaking. I double cleanse & use an oil based cleanser in my routine & found it worked to remove all makeup flawlessly. Save for sensitive eyes and those who wear contacts! This is easily the best new mascara I've tried especially at this price point. I will continue to repurchase until i find one that's better! & exclusively the waterproof version. Love love love it! It's by far my favorite mascara now. I know there's hype around this product but I honestly didn't even see this coming. I recommend to anyone looking for an all across the board wonderful lengthening/curling black mascara with incredibly long wear, zero flaking and build-ability.

Impressive and gem of a find

4 months ago
I usually use primer and higher end cosmetics but wasn’t near my usual shop when I needed an emergency refill. Found this at local drugstore and was NOT disappointed ~ if ANYTHING, this was an impressive and gem of a find! I don’t even need to use my lash curler or a lash primer!! The reality brush looks like an improved version of the virtual one: THANK YOU L’ORÉAL!

Not worth the money

10 months ago
I love the original telescopic mascara so I thought this one would be even better since it was a lifting one. No it is not. The brush is too bulky and only really one sided. It does not lift like the original or coat the lashes that well thank god I used a coupon and got it a little cheaper because 15.00 is not worth the money for this product. I’ll stick with the original telescopic mascara from now on

Messy

a year ago
I bought this mascara this past Sunday in a CVS store. I went to use it Monday morning to go to work and what a mess it created on my eyelashes. I had to remove the mascara and used my old one. A brand new brush shouldn’t be so saturated of the product, it only creates a big mess and waste of time. $15 to the trash

Truly a decadent classic

2 years ago
Once again, you have truly out-done yourself L'OREAL; this is the BEST mascara I have ever had the pleasure of using. The formula glides on effortlessly, is smooth with no flaking or clumps, it truly lifts, lengthens, and separates lashes for a striking fanned out look. The brush takes a little getting used to, but it is worth it. It wears well and holds up all day long -even those hot, humid days. I have been using L'OREAL mascara for 40 years -and wore "Splash-Out' for years -until it was discontinued. I tried a few other brands after 'Splash-Out' was discontinued but always came back to L'OREAL. This is your best mascara yet and I love it ... I will wear it for as long as you keep making ... just keep making it ... this is truly a decadent classic.

It doesn't come off which leads to infection

2 years ago
This stuff is awful and not only did I waste my money buying it, I developed an eye infection because no matter what you do, it does not come off! It's gross and clumpy, it caused my eyelashes to fall out! Loreal ruined my eye lashes! I will never trust this company again with my skin or hair needs. Now I get to go to work looking like I was punched in the eye thanks to this crap!

Use longer side comb to separate your lashes for added volume and length. We hope this information was helpful and you will give this product another try!

Not my favorite

3 years ago
The two sided brush is not user friendly at all. Both sides look the same, San the mascara tends to clump on the lashes more than other varieties. I have used Voluminous for years, and will go back. I consider the Telescopic Lift a waste of money.
Would you purchase this again:No

Doesn't clump

3 years ago
The brush is comfortable & works more like a comb.. it gave my lashes length & definition. I really enjoyed the formula of the waterproof version, it held up after 9 hours in warm conditions. I worked up a sweat cooking, jumping at a trampoline park with friends & playing lazer tag. The whole time my mascara didn't run (or cause panda eyes) &my lashes held their length &shape. This mascara gives great results & is very easy to use I highly recommend!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing and long lasting

I am so happy with this new Loreal Paris Telescopic lift mascara, it's the best I have ever used before and I love how it makes my lashes look so long and thick. It's not runny or clumpy at all and it has two sides on the brush so you can apply your mascara evenly and perfectly. All I got to say is this is an absolute must have in your everyday makeup routine without a doubt.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Does it lengthen the look of your lashes? Yes. But is it clumpy? Also yes. Unfortunately although it makes your lashes look long, the formula is rather clumpy and falls throughout the day

Nothing Special

3 years ago
This is a pretty standard mascara. I love the small wand, it makes it easy to get every corner of your lashes. Even though it was waterproof, it did smear a bit with exercise which was pretty disappointing. Also was a bit difficult to layer and looked a little clumpy. Overall, it's nothing to write home about.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Best New Drugstore Mascara!

3 years ago
-lasted 12+ hours! Full day wear! -lashes were lifted all day long, haven't been able to find a mascara that hasn't weighed down my lashes in ages. Competes with if not BETTER than higher end. From the moment I applied the product after I curled my lashes, my lashes stayed upright, curled & defied gravity all day long —and I'm talking about 12+ hours long! I love waterproof mascara & this is the best drugstore one I've tried thus far. The formula doesn't weigh my lashes down at all and keeps them curled which is a miracle for my lashes. This is such a beautiful lengthening mascara, i noticed a significant difference just by applying a single coat. The more coats, the more dramatic the look and you can easily layer more without it getting clumpy. It didn't leave my lashes clumpy as long as you brush out the product. Just as with every mascara, wipe most of the product off the wand to better control amount of product applied and to minimize clumping. I love the brush, there are two sides (flat for packing and bristles for brush through lashes) and I find it incredibly useful and beneficial to brush through my lashes & preventing them from clumping. When dried, my lashes stayed in place but didn't feel dry or crunchy! My lashes were soft to the touch and didn't experience any flaking. I double cleanse & use an oil based cleanser in my routine & found it worked to remove all makeup flawlessly. Save for sensitive eyes and those who wear contacts! This is easily the best new mascara I've tried especially at this price point. I will continue to repurchase until i find one that's better! & exclusively the waterproof version. Love love love it! It's by far my favorite mascara now. I know there's hype around this product but I honestly didn't even see this coming. I recommend to anyone looking for an all across the board wonderful lengthening/curling black mascara with incredibly long wear, zero flaking and build-ability.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't make my eyelashes look longer

This mascara was not good for me. It also melts and create some blackness under my eye. I attached a photo where one side of my eyelashes has the mascara and the other side doesnt. It does not look too different for me. The mascara did not lift my eyelashes. I am not sure I would choose this one over any other mascara.

Full Sexy Lashes!!

This L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Lift Mascara gave my lashes such an amazing lift! It looked like I was wearing false lashes and with no clumping! The only thing I didn't like about the applicator was the flat end...I was applying the mascara and I accidentally twisted the brush and the flat end applied a huge amount of product on my lashes and I had to use a spoolie brush to remove and spread my lashes since their was a huge amount of product on my lashes!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Big mess

3 years ago
All though it does what it says and lifts your eyelashes, I'm not a fan of this. Your eyelashes end up being a big mess and clumpy. I'm an experienced mascara wearer and no matter how carefully I used the wand I couldn't keep it from getting on my skin. I always have to wipe the excess off around my eyes. I hate the wand on this. It's flat on one side and keeps a lot of product on the brush. Only swipe your eyelashes once. If you do it twice you end up with a mess and clumpy lashes. Even swiping once makes them clumpy but less so than when you repeat it. If they were able to put this mascara with a better wand and the ability to wring out excess product I would've given this a five star rating. The mascara is a very nice jet black color and it lasts forever and won't flake off. A different wand might be all they need to make this a great mascara but as it is it's a clumpy mess that gets everywhere. I think I'll try it with a different wand and see how it works since I love the fact that it stays on all night. It's still on my lashes when I wake up. I very easy fix would make for a great product. Maybe L'Oreal can dilute the mascara a tad to keep it from clumping or everything might be the wands fault. I'd be very interested to see what this does with a different brush head. I only gave two stars because of the clumping issue and the fact that all those clumps can make your eyelashes heavy and you can feel the mascara on them. I hope they take my advice about a new wand and a way to wring out extra product. If they can do that it might end up being a 5 star mascara but as it is now it's only a 2 star mascara. I love the mascara but the application is a mess and a nightmare so I'll probably not use it anymore. I'm stuck on the fence and can't decide if I'll continue using it or not. It does lift your lashes but you don't notice it if you apply it twice since it weighs down your eyelashes. I don't know about others but I can't get my inner and outer lashes on one swipe.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Not good for straight lashes

3 years ago
My lashes are decently long, but totally straight so I have to curl them. This mascara formula made my lashes really clumpy, despite using the comb method recommended. And it also weighed my lashes down so much they’re as straight as they were before I curled them.

Clumpy and impossible to wash off.

3 years ago
I am used to wearing a luxury brand of mascara, but I do hear good things about drugstore brands so I figured I would try it, that was a mistake. My eyelashes are so clumpy, thick, strange and then impossible to wash off! I used soap, oil, and makeup remover and it was still flaking off the next day. If you want a similar look try a better brand, it's worth it!

I usually spend *much* more on mascaras, and assumed that a luxury brand and a high price meant I was getting a better product. Well, I was 💯 wrong, because this mascara blows them all out of the water! Great length, volume, lash separation, and great formula & wand. I'm definitely a committed fan now and this is my new HG mascara all the way. 5 stars!

The mascara unfortunately clumped my lashes SO much. It struck out when it came to volume and length BUT lemme TELL YOU!! The mascara would NOT WASH OFF!!! It is SO long lasting!! Thru days and days of rubbing, baby oil, micellar water and makeup wipes!! I would DEF recommend for falsies, USE THIS!! It finally started slowly fading and eventually came off, but it was a good THREE DAYS!!! SUPER long lasting, use it to laminate your other mascaras!!

THE mascara

3 years ago
So, this is *THE* mascara I've been hearing about causing quite the controversy. Whether or not you have managed to avoid the drama surrounding this product, it is one score of a mascara. (False lashes optional hahah.) Mascaras with this type of wand are very hit or miss for me. It can be frustrating using a 2 step wand. I feel like I usually in my own error end up smearing mascara on my eyelid because the bristles are shorter. But somehow with the loreal telescopic mascara that doesn't happen. Maybe it's a drier formula? That's usually my preference for quick layering anyways and this one gives it all. Volume, lengthening, lifting, action! I do feel like it is quite a bit pricier for a "drugstore" mascara but when considering the price just know that it performs very high end.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not it

This was a nice mascara if you want lift and length, that's it. 1 to 2 coats and that is it with this mascara, 2 coats and the lashes are already stuck together. The formula was too liquidy in my opinion. It was giving me Younique lashes from the early 2000s. It also took me an hour to remove this mascara safely without pulling out my lashes. This mascara was just not it for me.
