Guide Review - L'Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition Mascara

L'Oreal Paris sent me this mascara to try and even though I was a little skeptic at first, since the brush is so thin and long, I couldn't believe how my lashes looked after 2 applications. There were no clumps, no smearing, and my lashes looked extremely long, yet natural at the same time. The mascara didn't have a scent, which was a plus, and it didn't feel heavy after it dried. Since I have long lashes already, there are few mascaras that will actually improve them, but this one did. What was really interesting is how it looked on my bottom lashes. It made them extremely long, yet kept them looking natural at the same time. So if you have skimpy bottom (and top) lashes, then this is the definite mascara for you. The thin brush will allow you to coat them effectively without having the raccoon look afterwards.

I actually did a Top 10 Mascara Splurges and Steals article earlier this month, and had I tried this mascara then , I would have definitely added it to the list of steals. If you are wondering why I gave it 4 1/2 instead of 5, since the mascara is so good, well it was because I still love L'Oreal Double Extend mascara more. Sometimes natural can be good, but if you want more "oomph" or more drama in your lashes then you have to go with the big guns of the Double Extend mascara. Basically, if you have skimpy lashes and want more volume without worrying about mascara smudge, or you have long lashes and want them to look thicker yet natural, then L'Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition mascara is a must-have.
