LOREAL: telescopic carbon black mascara: REVIEW

Mascara along with foundation are the products i buy most often. I am always on the look out for a new amazing mascara that will give me long full lashes that unfortunately I am not blessed with naturally so i have no other option but to  fake it. I have heard great thing about the telescopic mascara and decided to give it a go . I didn't know how expansive the range of telescopic mascaras were, not only are there the original and waterproof versions but a few other versions as well . I obviously have chosen the carbon black version hoping for some jet black lashes .

The packaging a long tapered tube in the shape of a telescope ;p clever huh? They have kept the colouring very classic with a glossy black finish and gold writing. Minimalistic but effective, it doesn't look cheap or tacky  which many a mascara packaging have fallen short of.

On opening you are presented with a longer than expected wand topped with a plastic applicator. The applicator is a plastic comb,which might not be everyone's cup of tea as i know many people are fans of bristle wands. The combs,bristles are short and packed together which means there is never excess product on the bristles like many other mascaras. The small ,thin wand means you are able to coat each and every lash ,even into the corners. Its also very easy to apply to your lower lashes because the brush isn't too big or clumsy to handle.

The mascara claims to lengthen,not volumize your lashes and the brush reflects that. It creates long ,separated and defined lashes  without any clumping or smudging. A great mascara for a daytime or no make-up look . this creates defined natural looking lashes .

 I found the mascara lasted well throughout the day ,it didn't flake ,smudge or clump and was easy to remove using my usual cleanser without waking up with the dreaded panda eye in the morning. It delivered on it-s promises giving my stubby little lashes a must need boost . I really love the lengthening effect it gives but some days i wish it was more volumizing but again it doesn't promise that. I often apply this first to lengthen and separate my lashes and then apply a volumizing mascara over it on days i feel big lash deprived. All in all a great little mascara and one i will continue to use.

Loreal telescopic carbon black mascara retails at £10.99 and is available from boots or superdrug.

Have you tried this mascara or others in the telescopic range? Which one was your favourite ? x
