I heard that this mascara was clumpy and flakey, but I loved the brush, so I decided to buy it to give it a try. This mascara is fantastic. The little brush lets you get to the lashes that big, bulky brushes can't. To get the little lashes in the corners or your eyes, or even your bottom lashes, it's a lot easier to use Telescopic Explosion than to use something like Covergirl's Lashblast. I use this everyday, and I highly reccommend it if you want to get to the fine details. :)

i had seen the shape of this brush before in other brands. i thought it wouldn't be bad to try. i was a little hesitant when i saw the price. it was more expensive then my original mascara but i though, ill never know unless i try. i bought it! when i took the brush out, i noticed it was a little clumpy:( i wiped the brush access on the side and used it. I LOVED IT! less is definitely more! my lashes were not clumped and definitely longer. they stood out straight away! a day after i bought it, my friend texted me telling me she had bought this mascara that i should definitely try. turns out, it was the same mascara i had just bought! i definitely recommend it!

I didn't love this mascara but I didn't hate it either. Here is what I loved:

- My lashes were not lacking in the dramatic volume department.
- The little round brush really gets to those little lashes, allows you to get right at the base, and you can emphasize any part of the lash.
- Love the red, sleek packaging.

Here's what I didn't love:

- The formula is very thick and can get pretty clumpy if you don't swipe off the excess.
- I found it smudged a bit after a few hours.

Overall, I really like dramatic lashes because naturally my lashes are pretty wimpy. What I've been doing lately is applying CoverGirl LashBlast mascara then using L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion over top just on the outer lash. The effect is flirty full lashes! I love that the round brush allows you to be selective with what you want to enhance. The concept of a round brush might be foreign in the beginning and may feel awkward but you get used to it after a while.

This mascara is the bomb! I couldn't find it in Canada at first, so I bought it on one of my many forays into the USA. I LOVE the brush. My main complaint with other products is that the brush is too long and/or too thin. This little ball brush is so easy to handle and it never goes on in globby even if you use several coats. My eyelashes thank me!
