L'Oréal Paris – Telescopic Lift Mascara – Lift Extra Black - Mascara voor lange, gelifte wimpers en volume – 9,9ML

This mascara has a weirdest wand ever, it is spiky on the edges, but is without bristles on one side. You need some time to get used to this wand. I found it best for myself to apply it with a bristle side first and if I need more product and a bit of lift use a bristle free side. It gives nice length and separates well if you do not apply too much. First of all the bristles are really prickly and if you tend to colour from the roots of lashes it will hurt your eye. If you apply to much it gets your lashes look clumpy. But the worst part is that this mascara can transfer to your eyelid easily making you look like panda. I also find it crumbly after some time of using it and the crumbs of it get into my eye making it irritated. If you have sentences eyes, better avoid it.

The L'Oréal Telescopic lift mascara comes in an elegant total black packaging. Really pigmented black formula with a peculiar two-sided brush. One side is flat for a  closer application to the eye line, while the other is full of bristles to catch short lashes and separate them. Unfortunately I have short and straight lashes so it's always difficult for me to get a good lift and lenghtening effect. After applying the first coat I've noticed that the mascara separated and lenghtened my lashes creating a natural effect. However adding a second coat made my lashes clumpy and heavy. The texture is thick and tends to dry out soon so if you want to add layers act quickly. Good thing is that it didn't smudge at all even if I wore it for a few hours. This might depends from your eyes? Mine are really dry and rarely watery. Overall I've seen a major lift and curl comparing to my natural lashes but not a dramatic difference. I didn't like feeling the lashes heavy and too sticky and also it wasn't easy to remove using micellar water. I'll try in future to use an oil based makeup remover. If you are blessed with long and curled lashes I'm sure that the results will be better for you.

I was encouraged by a sales assistant in Superdrug to buy this after she saw lots of things about it on TikTok. It lengthens my lashes, but my goodness the transfer to under and above my eye is awful! It drops off partway through the day leaving me with panda eyes. I will not be buying again!
