This mascara was the hugest dissapointment ever!
It simply makes no sense. I couldn't even apply it properly. I poked my eyes with it several times in a few attempts to master it. When I did manage to actually get it on my lashes, it clumped like crazy! Chunks of the product were deposited stucking my lashes together for the horror spider leg look. I have tried incorporating it in my routine, trying to apply it only to my exterior corner lashes, which are usually the hardest to get. No luck here either! The thick bizare brush only managed to stuck both upper and lower lashes together into a huge tarantula leg! The horror!!!
Needles to say I washed it off right away. I didn't even get a chance to try it out really. I couldn't see how well it lasts, or if it flakes, or if it dries fast!
The brush is a total failure in my oppinon. It's so chunky and made it impossible for my to apply, leave alone get the "telescopic" look.
This has to be the worst mascara I have ever tried. Ever.

Don't even think about it.

I was pretty excited to try this mascara as I have really blond rooted lashes, especially in the corners of my eyes (which are dead give aways making it clear I am not naturally blessed with thick full dark lashes ). However, it was really a let down. A lot of the mascara comes off on the long wand ( not the actual applicator) and besides smearing all over my face, that just seems wasteful and like a bad deal. The orb applicator itself is fine for the little corner lashes, but it cant separate the bulk of the lashes properly, Also the actual formula of the mascara leaves a lot to be desired. It dried out quickly and was a little flakey. I'd say using it paired with another mascara to get the corner lashes and really getting that full fan look is the best use of this. On it's own however, well it leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, I think it's fun to have in your bag of tricks for a night out, but not for everyday use.

I was very excited about using this mascara, as I have thin eyelashes. The packaging is attractive and from the ad's it seems like it would be amazing. Once I got the packaging open i was surprised at the tiny round brush and wasn't sure it was going to work.

Upon application I was very un-amazed! The wand is very long and then has a small ball of spikes at the bottom, and the mascara is very thick. I had to wipe off the wand each time as the first swipe over my lashes also gave a swipe of mascara on the side of my face!

Once I figured out how to hold the wand i was pleased with the fact that my eyelashes did appear longer. However, they were also stuck together in a series of black clumps. I thought that maybe it may have been because the mascara was new, but I find each and every time I apply this mascara I have to go over the lashes with another clean mascara brush to pull them apart.

This makes the product undesirable to me as I have tried other mascara's that do not need as much maintenance and still give me nice lashes. I would not buy this product again.

omg ive had this mascara for like two years i know your only supposed to wear it for six months but i wear it over top of my other mascara to fan out my lashes more and i dont really wear mascara that often i wear it for going to like the bar which i dont really have a social life since i started full time at my job but getting off topic love this mascara it does all the fanning i need and gives me lashes *grins* i am lacking in that department lol =P
but anyways gotta buy it it will last a long time without clumping apperently i learned from work that if you use mascara too often and all the opening and closing causes clumping so if you use it like i do just on your regular mascara you should be fine.....
anyways ill be back with more reviews right now it is time for me to get off and get some sleep lol

bye have fun and try new things......=)

I LOVE this mascara! I have tried dozens and this is the best ever for my fine, sparse lashes. The ball shaped brush and long wand gets every little teeny, tiny lash and coats it to perfection. It doesn't clump them together like others I've tried, so the individual lashes stand out and look much fuller. It gives a natural look and is easy to control the amount and placement of coverage. I've used both the waterproof and washable types and like them both. The washable one is my everyday, go-to favourite, but for those occasions when a stay-put product is preferred, this one is worth the extra effort for removal.

I bought mine at Costco in Vancouver and it turned out to be about $15 each (for a pack of 2). I don't think it's worth it. The telescopic brush does do a good job at separating lashes, even the end lashes. However, the coverage is so bare - it doesn't give the impression of fuller lashes. That's with the first coat though (and with other mascaras I've tried, 1 coat is usually enough), so I tried a 2nd coat and that's where it starts to clump a little. Very frustrating to work with, especially because the wand is so flimsy, and long (which makes it harder to hold).

This mascara is AMAZING! It is able to get every single lash and does a phenomenal job of extending and thickening. When I first used it, there were issues with smudging but I'm realizing it was a matter of applying to much product onto my lashes. I recommend that you use this sparingly. OVerall, love love love!

This has got to be one of the WORST mascaras I have EVER used. Clumps, gloops your lashes together, goes on WAY too thick. I spent more time trying to comb this crap out of my lashes than I did applying it. I looked like a very sad sad drag queen that has had NO makeup application lessons. Horrible. I took it back and got my money back on a store credit, even without the receipt. I really don't understand WHY women just throw their products away and don't demand their money back. If you don't, these moronic companies are going to continue to produce rubbish products like these. GET YOUR MONEY BACK!

Oh yes, and considering the price, this gets an even worse review. I've got $3 Rimmel mascaras that work better than this junk. Avon is better quality that this!

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. :)

So friggen CLUMPY!!! Hated it! And I usually like L'Oreal products. This one was $10 down the drain. I tossed it after trying it all different ways and it still clumped up like crazy and went on way too heavy. I like full and soft by L'Oreal, thats hwy I gave this a try...But I will never buy it again.
