Won't buy again
I hate the brush. I poke myself in the eye frequently and still can’t get the look I want. Formula is so dry too

I was hopeful.
This was my first time using this product and am very disappointed. I donr care for the brush design, the back of tge brush holds goofy, dried product. It does not go on smoothly and leave think, uneven productt.

Formula change?
I’ve been using this for awhile now and not sure if I’d try it again. It’s usually my favorite but this last tube purchase was awful. It does nothing almost like it’s dried up.

Read Directions on Back
You won’t even need your eyelash curler if you follow the directions on the back and do more than one swipe.

Love how it makes my lashes long and thick and when they say waterproof it definitely is. Not like cover girl bought a few waterproof mascara from them and was very disappointed. I got water on my face and the mascara ran was all over my face. But loreal is great product always get complements on my lashes. I get asked if they are my real lashes.

Impressive and gem of a find
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use primer and higher end cosmetics but wasn’t near my usual shop when I needed an emergency refill. Found this at local drugstore and was NOT disappointed ~ if ANYTHING, this was an impressive and gem of a find! I don’t even need to use my lash curler or a lash primer!! The reality brush looks like an improved version of the virtual one: THANK YOU L’ORÉAL!

Will not be buying this again
I like L’Oreal telescopic mascara, but this mascara clumped and went on thick no matter what I did to try to thin it out. I did not like the brush at all, either. It did not evenly apply the product and pulled on my lashes. It was hard to remove even though it was not waterproof. I will not be buying this again.

THE BEST TELESCOPIC VARIATION
Best volumizing and lifting mascara ever. Goes on so quickly. I have long but boneless lashes and this makes me look like I have lash extensions!!!

Nearly flawless
As someone who’s tried several waterproof mascaras, this is one of the best. The wand is unique in the fact that you can apply and use the side to comb through the lashes for a brushed out look. The only reason it gets one star off is it can get a little clumpy, but still much less than other brands I’ve used.

Like L'Oreal Mascara
I haven't used this version yet, this 4 stars and based on my past experience with a previous version. A younger colleague turned me on to this Telescopic Lift mascara a little over a year ago and I liked using it very much. Stayed put during the day/eve and easily came off with micellar water. Hope this 36 Hour version performs the same.

Good formula
Classic lengthening mascara that I always come back too when the budget is too tight for my Sephora favorites. It gets the job done with no flaking and crumbling after a few hours.

Clumpy, flakey, smudgey
Worst mascara I’ve used in a while. It came out very clumpy and thick, did NOT lengthen my lashes at all, and I had two black eyes of smudging and flakes at my first bathroom break (within the first 2 hours of my day). It only got worse from there.

Terrible formula and wand
This mascara is super clumpy and messy. The wand is terrible and makes it nearly impossibly for you to apply smoothly. It also flakes off throughout the way, leaving specks all over.
