L'Oreal Paris Makeup Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara, Blackest Black, 0.27 Fl Oz (1 Count)

I’m not blessed with naturally long lashes, so I grabbed this mascara hoping for a little boost. Two quick coats and honestly, my lashes look like they grew an extra millimeter or two. They fan out nicely, no clumps, and the length is the first thing I notice whenever I catch my reflection.What surprised me more is how well it sticks around. I put it on at 8 AM, powered through a full workday and an evening workout, and it was still there at 9 PM—no flakes on my cheeks, no smudgy raccoon eyes.The only catch: taking it off is a bit of a wrestle. Even with my trusty micellar water I have to soak a cotton pad and hold it on my lashes for a good half-minute, then go in for a second round to get every last bit. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely an extra step before bed.

This is one of the best mascaras I have ever used. It wonderfully lengthens lashes, making them 3-4 times longer depending on how many layers you apply. The lashes become significantly more voluminous, and the result is just stunning. The mascara does its job perfectly, and I am extremely satisfied. Without a doubt, I will be purchasing it again and again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for maximum lash impact!

I hope L’Oreal never stops making this telescopic mascara. I’ve tried many mascara at varying price points and this one is my favorite. The applicator doesn’t clump up on my lashes and I can get away with one coat. If I’m feeling extra saucy and want my lashes to look even more luxurious, I will put on two coats. It makes my lashes look long and beautiful and not stuck together. I typically use an eyelash curler before applying my mascara because my lashes are stick straight. Sometimes I’m in a hurry and don’t have time to use the curler or apply more than one coat and they still look fabulous with this mascara. Highly recommend.

It does, in fact, clump your lashes which I specifically didn’t want (hence why I bought this) but it still gives nice definition and doesn’t leave your lashes, looking like gross clumpy branches (see photos all from different days); I wished it separated the lashes more instead of clumping them immediately upon application (even when I am very slow and careful and try to remove excess product), and I would like for it to lengthen my lashes a bit more, but overall I still like the results from this product, and I find that it doesn’t really run that much underneath my eyes like the Givenchy mascara I got from Sephora (that one has a wonderful application and lengthens your lashes but is a runny mess under your eyes after an hour). Ultimately, I will probably try out a different mascara once this one runs out.

Goes on thin and hard to build up and lengthen lashes. Has a tendency to flake more than I liked

This is a good, inexpensive mascara. I'm someone who doesn't wear lashes so I appreciate a good mascara that gives me those pretty "lash" looking lashes...this mascara does that. The small, fine brush defines your lashes.

It’s not often that I write a review but I thought this warranted one. While I like this product and the way it makes my lashes look, it DOES NOT come off with soap and water. I scrub scrub scrub and not one drop comes off. It does come off however when I dry my face on my towel. As such, all my towels have black mascara stains on them. I had to look back on Amazon at my purchase to see if I had mistakenly bought the waterproof but I did not. This says washable. I’m not too sure what other people are washing with to get this off but soap and water will absolutely not take it off. Because of this, I will not be purchasing this product again.

A perfect mascara. I'm a swimming teacher and I was looking for a mascara that wouldn't rub off easily and would leave you looking like a raccoon. And this one is perfect, plus it leaves your lashes super long and super black.
