I hated this mascara. It made my lashes clump together. It was easy to maneuver around and the packaging is cool but it just doesn't work. I got it as a gift but I've seen the price in drugstores and it's way too high.

The brush works really well at getting into hard to reach places, but the formula isn't great. It will clump and if it doesn't, it doesn't make your lashes really look any different, only darker.

The L'Oreal Telescopic line are products that I actually really love. I am probably their number one customer when it comes to their liquid eyeliner because I've gone through so many tubes of it. So, when I heard about their new Telescopic Explosion The concept was pretty simple. A smaller, sphere shaped brush would be perfect for those inner lashes you can't reach very well with the average mascara wand. The first couple uses were phenomenal! I thought I had found my new holy grail mascara. However, I found that on days where I do not have much time to get ready, like for school, this mascara is way too time consuming. It does do what it is supposed to however, I just don't think it's very practical. It honestly takes me twice as long to do my eye make up using this mascara than it usually does with other "normal" mascara wands. I would say that this product is good, and the concept is good as well. But, it just isn't for people who don't want to spend an hour doing their make up.

I bought this off of Ebay and was hoping that it would work. It did partially work, I got each individual lasg, but made them really clumpy. I only used one coat. I do like the wand, but not the formula. The wand is great because the brush is small and can get in the smallest areas. The length of the wand could be shortened, but thay's not important. The formula makes my lashes look bigger than the other lashes which looks abnormal. I would not spend $12 on this product.

For what it advertises, this mascara does it job. The mascara separates my lashes, and evenly coats it all, and I can easily get the hard to reach places. That being said, I don't think my lashes appeared any fuller, or more voluminous. In fact, it just looked slightly thicker, but not in any way that's flattering for my eyes.
I would recommend this as an overcoat after regular mascara, just to separate the lashes and make the appearance of them more natural, but not on its own.

The brush is good for the corners but it didnt make my lashes look very full/ thick

This is based on my experience with the waterproof version in black.

Pros:
- Good price, bought it during Rexall's half off mascara sale with a coupon
- holds curl nicely
- it did separate my lashes and define them

Cons:
- Brush is awkward, feels floppy while you're trying to apply the mascara. I also don't find the shape helpful for applying to the more difficult to reach lashes.
- Formula was really wet in the beginning and clumped my lashes together, it's a little better now after a month
- smudges after 3 hours of wear (I have oily lids but this pretty fast for a waterproof mascara)
- didn't really lengthen or volumize

Overall I wouldn't recommend this mascara, there are much better brush shapes and formulas one can buy for the same price point. I was disappointed in the smudging and for the extra time it took to coat the lashes and comb through them because of the clumping the result was lack luster, definitely not worth it.

This mascara is horrible! It has the tiniest little brush that takes 5X as long to apply, and it doesn't lengthen anymore than the other mascaras they have!

I usually use the original Telescopic mascara, and I love it. When I saw the Explosion wand I thought it was a great idea. However, when applying the mascara my eyes began to water and burn! While the wand would propbably do an amazing job, I couldn't get past the burning and watering. They must have changed the product mixture for this one. I don't know why though, the original would have worked awesome with this brush!

I am a frequent mascara buyer/user/tester and to my disappointment L'Oreal's Telescopic Explosion was not my favourite purchase. The brush is different from anything I had ever tried before and it did live up to it's promise - it will touch every last individually. However, it doesn't do anything to add volume and my lashes were left feeling a little thin.

Now, having said that I do like using this mascara for my bottom lashes because they don't need as much volume; instead they need individual attention and L'Oreal's brush is perfect for that!
