L'Oréal Paris Black Mascara, Telescopic Original Mascara in shade Black | Up To +71% Lengthening Effect, Smudge-Resistant, Long-Wearing Formula, Up To 36H Wear, 8ml

My new favourite mascara 🤍I’ve been using this mascara for over a week now, and honestly, I’m obsessed with the result! 😍 The effect you can see in the photo is just one coat - no layering needed.The only thing is that it took me a few applications to get used to it. When you first open it, the brush picks up quite a lot of product, so it can feel a little too wet or heavy at first.My little trick: take the wand out, let it sit for a few seconds and gently wave it around so the mascara dries slightly on the brush before applying. This makes the first applications much easier.After a few uses, though, I found it much easier to work with and can now apply it normally.I absolutely love how it makes my lashes look - long, defined, lifted and beautifully separated. And again, this is only one layer! ✨Definitely one of my favourite mascaras I’ve tried recently. 🤍

I included two photos of with mascara and one without I really love this mascara because it doesn’t fray and bitty off when I curl my eye lashes and when it’s brand new it’s not one that doesn’t work for the first few times I was worried due to reviews saying it wasn’t sealed and was bone dry but I OPENDED and yes it wasn’t sealed fully but it still had the barcode on and felt a bit dry on my hand but on my lashes absolutely perfect I do not think it was supposed to come in plastic packaging like so in the shops as no one can really access it as a tester yk so no need to worry I highly recommend this mascara it’s affordable and the wand is amazing so when it runs out you can use the wand for mascaras such as essence temporarily and still look great it’s perfect for one layer but I prefer multiple layers I really love this mascara so much after being hesitant at first it’s my second time having it and also it is not waterproof as such but you can cry and not have it dripping down your face and you can go underwater without it dripping Aslong as you don’t smudge it Witt your hand and also when dry and you can itch your eyes without it smudging dramatically

I saw this mascara online and decided to try it out, it's a normal long lasting mascara I wouldn't say it's amazing because it didn't really give me the results I was looking for. If you already have quite curly and voluminous lashes I would recommend but if you're like me with quite straight lashes the hold is probably not for you.

Totally impressed. It's up there with CT and Benefit would highly recommend

I have tried many mascara's throughout the years (from cheap to expensive high end ones), and this is the one I keep coming back to. It has a nice smooth formula, does not clump, and the wand makes the application easy. While not a waterproof mascara (though there is a version of waterproof telescopic mascara too), it does not smudge or glide off unless your face gets wet in the rain. It has a neutral cosmetic smell, and is not perfumed unlike certain other mascara's out there (Louis Vuitton mascara: I'm looking at you!).If you prefer a natural look: don't be deterred by the name. While it does say "false lash"; unless you're wearing false lashes, this mascara will not make you look like you are. I think the name is more of a gimmick to make consumers associate the effect of this mascara with something so unattainable, it could only be fake. Do not be fooled, the result of your eyelashes will depend on the application technique used more than anything else, but a good formula and wand does go a long way in attaining that result!Speaking of application technique; when the mascara is brand new, it does tend to have quite a lot of product come off on the lashes with the first swipe. My solution is to keep working with the product until I reach the desired look, a good tip is to try the zig-zag technique. I noticed some Amazon users have commented on there being too much product coming off and therefore rating this product poorly, but with my experience I can say that I'd rather have a mascara with a bit too much product when brand new, than a mascara with the perfect amount of product when new, but which then dries out quicker than quick after only a few uses. The telescopic mascara lasts me 6 months, and only starts to show signs of drying out near the end of those 6 months.The wand is made out of plastic and rubber, and while not the most environmentally friendly, it does a good job of separating the lashes and applying product beautifully. If there is one change I would suggest to L'Oréal, it would be to look into more environmentally friendly and sustainable ways of sourcing products and materials used. If this were to happen, I would be more inclined to try out more of their products following the success of how happy I have been with the formula of this one. I like the fact that the wand is very thin with lots of small rubber bristles as it allows me to apply product onto the lower lashes without mascara rubbing off on the lower eyelids. The wand being a rather sturdy type of rubber with the aforementioned bristles is a nice thing for me as it means I can use it to brush through the eyelashes as opposed to just rubbing product on top of the lashes.The packaging is a nice pale gold with quite a minimalist look, but personally this does not affect my opinion as I care more about what the product does for me than how it looks on the outside.As a tip to any make-up user: I would say to keep an eye on the expiration date. Mascara's tend to expire after 6 months (this particular one expires after 6 months), which is when I would advise you to throw it out and replace it with a new one. This is not *only* because the product dries out and becomes crumbly and difficult to apply, but it is mainly to do with bacterial build-up. Any make-up product will have an expiry date, and it is important to keep track of because if you use it long past its expiration, it could lead to infections. In order to keep track of when your product expires, my tip is to take a permanent marker and write the date of when the product was first opened and used on the packaging. That way you can easily keep track of when it is time to buy a new one.I enjoy writing reviews to help others make the right purchases.

A very good mascara! I absolutely hate mascara normally and I recently got a Korean lash lift but this has changed it! It coats the lashes separately like advertised and makes them look more pigmented and like your lashes, rather than super clumpy. However, it does take a bit to dry down but it's fine.

Nice mascara, love the wand. However, the mascara is too wet, which makes it very difficult to get to the lash roots or into the corners without smearing it on your skin or inner lid. For that reason I will not buy it again.

This does the job with no mess

My favorite mascara, holds up well and gives a lot of length

Heel fijne mascara! Mooie prijs!

J'en ai essayé des mascaras! Même le 3D de Younique ne l'accote pas! C'est le meilleur! Apporte du volume, longueur et durabilité. Et j'ai très peu de cil et ne sont pas longs. Ce mascara mes les mets en valeur!

Esta máscara de pestañas deja las pestañas mucho más largas y definidas con muy pocas capas, sin apelmazarlas ni dejarlas sobrecargadas de producto.El acabado queda bastante natural pero a la vez se nota mucho la diferencia. Además, el cepillo reparte bien la máscara y evita grumos, algo que valoro mucho.Muy buena opción para el día a día si buscas longitud y definición sin efecto pesado.

The best mascara ever!
