I'm sure many of you have heard or seen this mascara with its odd-shaped applicator. The wand tip surely reminds me of a chillingly violent scene in the film The Passion Of The Christ. Enough said.
The wand of the L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara is specially designed to reach into the inner corner lashes and even the bottom lashes. The good news is that - it actually worked. I used to loathe applying mascara in the inner corner lashes because I would always, ALWAYS poke my eye and smear mascara on my contact lens (and by then, the lens is doomed and could not be saved). With this innovative wand, I get to wiggle the applicator in the most difficult places and yet could still apply product properly.
As to its performance, it did lengthen my lashes considerably, but it didn't do anything to improve volume. I have thin, sparse lashes, so a volume-building mascara is imperative for me. However, this is not to say that I won't be able to use this. I always use two kinds of mascaras anyway - one for lengthening and I layer a volumizing mascara over it. The L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara would work as one of my lengthening mascaras, and as I said, this would be my go-to product for applying mascara on the inner corner lashes.
The L'oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara retails for $10.59 and is available at leading drugstores and mass market retailers nationwide.
