perfect
I will never wear another mascara! I got shade brown and I love it so much it's the perfect color. it's tubing which makes it soooo easy to come off. The wand of the mascara is skinny which for some reason makes my lashes look longer... haha it's amazing!

Used to be great, but now it smears so badly
This has been my go-to for years, but the formula has definitely changed recently. With the last couple tubes, it runs and smears under my eyes really badly within a couple hours. I never had that issue before. I tried switching to the waterproof version, but that one has the opposite problem -- it's so difficult to get off, even with lots of makeup remover, that I end up having to either leave some of it on or risk ripping out lashes trying to get it all off. The non-waterproof formula comes off much better (obviously), and it never used to run, so it was perfect. But now it smears so badly I can't even get through half a workday without getting raccoon eyes. I can see that tons of people have this same complaint. Time to listen, L'Oreal.

New formula is a clumpy mess.
Had been my favorite for years. They reformulated and it’s a clumpy mess. Please change it back! I’m in the hunt for a new mascara.

Mascara
This is the best mascara. I have been using it for a long time. It goes on easy and stays on all day and is easy to wash off.

Waterproof Telescopic is Great for Bottom Lashes
Great for your bottom lashes so that it doesn’t smear. I use the regular telescopic for my top lashes and the waterproof one for my bottom. The waterproof is a little drying but prevents my eyes from becoming raccoon eyes so it works out. My lashes and eyes remain beautiful all day long, even in the summertime.

LOVE
I have been searching for a mascara I love for a few weeks, my daughter had this so I just tried it. I love it. I would have never picked out. Do not let the size of the brush fool you. Somehow this makes my lashes fuller and longer and it doesn’t burn my eyes or flake. I choose it over my high even mascara.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out about L'Oréal Telescopic Mascara. We are sorry to hear this mascara wand didn't work out for you.

No clumping, no smudging, no flaking—just beautifully dramatic lashes that last up to 24 hours. Your feedback is important to us and we will be sure to share it with our team.

Flakey
I swear by the telescopic in the gold tube, I’ve been using it for years. Unfortunately my store was sold out of the gold tube, so I tried the carbon black instead. The length is great, BUT it is FLAKEY! I look like a raccoon a couple hours after applying. I’ve never had this issue with the golden tube version.

Hi there, Ashley! We're sorry to hear that the Carbon Black formula is flaking, as we aim for all our Telescopic mascaras to provide a clean, smudge-proof finish. Since you've had such great success with the Original gold tube, it's possible that the intense pigments in the Carbon Black version interact differently with your skin's natural oils, so we recommend returning to your favorite gold tube for that reliable, all-day wear you love.

I haven’t found another mascara that I like as much! Truly will not come off if you cry and makes lashes long and thick!

Made my lashes appear long! I’m using a lash serum to grow my lashes, but after applying a couple coats of mascara it helped a lot with the length! Using the color Black Brown

Obsessed
Have been using this mascara for years and I refuse to use anything else! It makes my eyelashes so long but never clumpy. Doesn’t really transfer either. Definitely recommend!

Applicator wand breaks easily
I have used this product for years and liked it. However, recently I bought it and as soon as I opened it, the wand bent so I had to hold it on the thin shaft to apply it. Very awkward and messy. I bought another tube thinking that was a fluke and I would use the new wand once I finished the other tube. It has also broken after only a shot time. Two tubes of mascara wasted. I wanted to give you a zero rating. Very disappointing. Fix your product!

Hi there AuntCat, we are truly sorry to hear about this and can certainly understand your frustration. To have two wands break in a row after years of being a loyal user is not the experience we want for you, and it certainly doesn't meet the quality standards we set for our mascaras. The Telescopic wands should be flexible and able to bend, however, the wands in your last 2 tubes certainly don’t measure up. We take reports of mechanical issues like this very seriously, as it helps us identify if there is a specific issue with a manufacturing batch. Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 800-322-2036 9 AM to 5:30 PM ET M – F

EXTREMELY difficult to remove
Tough I loved how it looked when it was applied & it looked great...then came the disappointments. First note this is waterproof mascara. I was outside in the wind and I ended up looking like a raccoon. So on that note so much for waterproof in wind conditions??? I don't understand this? My 2nd, is the biggy. It was noted this mascara to be easy to remove from your lashes. This is NOT easy to remove at ALL! Even after the wind made me look l like a raccoon :/ I used eye makeup remover pads and had to scrub & scrub & scrub and it still wood not come off completely. This meant treating my eyelashes harshly & my delicate eye area as well. Not what anyone desires. Then after failing to get off after multiple attempts with the eye make up remover , I washed & rubbed with soap and water causing much harsher removal than anyone should be doing to clean their eye lashes or eye area making pulling and etc. I had to spend so much time & effort trying to remove this mascara it was unbelievable! I can't imagine what shape my eye lashes & eye tissue area would end up if I continued to use daily just trying to remove in such a harsh manner. Very disappointing. I have used Loreal products for Many many years and never had so much trouble removing waterproof mascara before in Loreal or other brands as well. You should not have to aggressively scrub you lashes or eye area ever its not good for them.
