Disappointed
5 years ago
I recently purchased this mascara & the moment I removed the wand, It was difficult to put back in tube. I had to use my fingers to grip & insert each time. I wasted more product on my fingers than my lashes. Wand broke off inside tube after 3rd use. I liked the product however the wand is extremely faulty. I seen reviews from 2018 complaining about this & I find it very disappointing loreal has not corrected this problem after 3 years! Mascara is great, brush/comb is great but the wand needs reinforcing at the base. What good is the mascara if you cannot properly use it?

EXTREMELY difficult to remove
19 days ago
Tough I loved how it looked when it was applied & it looked great...then came the disappointments. First note this is waterproof mascara. I was outside in the wind and I ended up looking like a raccoon. So on that note so much for waterproof in wind conditions??? I don't understand this? My 2nd, is the biggy. It was noted this mascara to be easy to remove from your lashes. This is NOT easy to remove at ALL! Even after the wind made me look l like a raccoon :/ I used eye makeup remover pads and had to scrub & scrub & scrub and it still wood not come off completely. This meant treating my eyelashes harshly & my delicate eye area as well. Not what anyone desires. Then after failing to get off after multiple attempts with the eye make up remover , I washed & rubbed with soap and water causing much harsher removal than anyone should be doing to clean their eye lashes or eye area making pulling and etc. I had to spend so much time & effort trying to remove this mascara it was unbelievable! I can't imagine what shape my eye lashes & eye tissue area would end up if I continued to use daily just trying to remove in such a harsh manner. Very disappointing. I have used Loreal products for Many many years and never had so much trouble removing waterproof mascara before in Loreal or other brands as well. You should not have to aggressively scrub you lashes or eye area ever its not good for them.

really dislike the "brush"

I really really dislike this mascara -- especially the "brush" -- and I use that term loosely.( I wish I could find Voluminous waterproof very black in stores. What has happened?) I bought two this type and I won't even open the second one. I guess I'll try Panorama since there is a waterproof version AND it actually has a brush. I've been using Voluminous for probably 20 years ... or more?

Hello Pamela. Thank you for reaching out about Original Waterproof Lengthening Mascara. We are sorry to hear this mascara is not what you had hoped for. Your feedback is important and we will be sure to share it. Please try Paradise Big Deal Buildable Waterproof Mascara. This has a cross-conic brush that evenly coats lashes. Long bristles separate and extend lashes for clump-resistant results. Hope you give it a try!

Waste of money, throw it away

This mascara was horrible in my opinion. It made it look like some of my lashes were way shorter than they normally are with no mascara on. It clumped, made my eyes extremely dry and itchy, and felt very heavy on. I never wrote reviews and typically love L’Oreal but this one is unwearable for me.

Loved the look, not the reaction that followed
7 months ago
I bought the waterproof version of this mascara for a wedding since I really loved the non-waterproof, but wanted to make sure I had longer use with it. However, after 2 consecutive days using this mascara (and fully removing all product after both uses), I have developed a chemical burn or severe reaction across both eyelids, and they have been very uncomfortable to the touch. They started out by being puffy, and have now decreased in swelling, but have very scaly/dry/irritated skin along my lash line. I have never had an issue with the other formula, so I am not sure what happened with this one.

Bad product
9 months ago
My daughter and I were excited to try this product. We each purchased this mascara Within a week of use my daughter developed an eye stye. She has never had an eye stye before, neither have I. I took to the doctor to get some eye ointment antibiotic. About a week later I also go an eye stye. We both we use this product and do not share any make up products. We both wash our face twice a day. I’m 50 years old, this is the first eye stye I have ever had. I attribute our eye styes to the use of this product. So now I’m out almost $100 for the purchase of this product x2, a doctors visit and prescription medication for the stye. Don’t waste your money on this product.

Love this but the wand is broken

I love this mascara especially for my stick straight eyelashes that I pre curl before I put my mascara on and I never have to re curl them afterwards.
My only issue is that the mascara wand it’s self that I just took out of the package wouldn’t open it would just twist and then I realized that part of the wand was shattered inside the blue cap. And even looked and felt dried up.

MY ABSOLUTE HONEST REVIEW! when this mascara says waterproof, it means business. even when i try too remove this with waterproof removing micellar water specifically it has a very hard time coming off, you really have to rub and irritate your eyes a ton, and even then there’s still leftover on my eyelashes. another thing too add is it doesn’t melt off it comes off in flakes, and these flakes get stuck in the back of my eyelids and won’t come out causing me too tweak out. the apply is awful as well and gives me fat clumpy lashes. i don’t like this at all.

Hi there, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with L'Oréal Paris Telescopic Original Waterproof Lengthening Mascara. We understand your frustration with the removal process and the flaking you've described. Telescopic Mascara is designed to be long-wearing and waterproof, and while this is a benefit for many, we recognize that it can sometimes make removal more challenging. We recommend using an oil-based makeup remover. Hold a cotton pad soaked with the remover against your lashes for a few seconds before gently wiping away the mascara. This should minimize the need for rubbing. We also hear your feedback on the application and clumping. We are always striving to improve our formulas, and will share your comments with our product development team. Thank you for your honest review!

Great brush, goopy mascara
11 months ago
I have used this for years, ever since the last version came out. I have deep set, hooded eyelids and it is the only mascara that have found with a brush that doesn't get mascara everywhere. The last two tubes that I have opened have already been dried out and goopy, which is messy and disappointing.

Bad Packaging
a year ago
This is my favorite mascara and the only one to keep a curl, but I hate the packaging. The blue foil on the last 2 bottles I bought has rubbed off and got onto all my other makeup. This has caused me to get little blue specks all over my face every time I apply makeup. It’s pretty much ruined everything in my makeup bag as I have tried to clean everything and still end up with blue specks all over. Would love this mascara if it didn’t have the blue foil

Lengthening mascara!
a year ago
The mascara has a strong smell ( it's hard to describe what the smell is like, but I think most of the mascara from the drugstores has this smell). When I applied the mascara to my lashes, my eyes felt burned for a second. This mascara is more lengthening mascara than volumizing. My lashes looked longer when I had it on. The best thing like about this mascara is the brush, it's a small brush so its very easy for me to curl my little lashes!

Lash perfection

I'm in love with this mascara. It does wonders for my lashes, making them look long and well-defined. The brush picks up every single lash, giving them awesome length and separation without any clumps. It's great for everyday wear as well as more dramatic looks. I love how light it feels, and it stays on all day without smudging or flaking. Plus, it's really easy to take off at night. I've tried a lot of mascaras, but this one really stands out. i certainly recommend it!

Pleasantly Surprised - Buy It!

This mascara is the holy grail of targeted long lasting perfection! We've all been promised a skinny mascara wand that will target even the thinnest smallest lashes, well look no further. I was pleasantly surprised at how thin the wand was and thought before using it that it would be flimsy like others, but with how thin the wand is sturdy. It covers each individual lash flawlessly! My only (tiny) complaint was for my eyes and shape of my eyes, the wand was a tad too long, but that's just a personal preference. All in all a perfect, everyday go to mascara.

Definitely buying this mascara

I love the shape of the brush and how I feel like I am not wasting product with it since I'm still able to see some of the original pink brush color. It definitely makes my eyelashes pop and gives them more length and volume. 100% waterproof I used it while in Vegas in 120 degree weather and it did not smear even while I was in the water. Only down side is it does clump a bit but brushing my lashes with a clean brush fixes it right away.

The Telescopic mascara is not my favorite if I'm honest. The biggest pro for this product is it is lengthening, so if you seek a mascara that is only going to lengthen the look of your lashes, this is totally for you. I tend to like a little volume as well, and I felt like this didn't offer that. It also had a tendency to be clumpier than I would have liked.
