I'm so shocked by the negative reviews! I love this mascara and haven't had any difficulty with it at all. It really does get every little lash, which I adore. It may take a few seconds longer to...

I'm definitely not a fan. I bought this because I tried the Givenchy version of this and I actually liked that so I figured I might as well try this and save myself about $18. Well, I got what I...

Bought this after seeing a YouTube beauty guru rave about it, and that's the last time I adhere to advice from those. The wand bent after only using it a couple times (and I don't even remember...

First, I have to say, maybe people are applying this incorrectly if you are getting a lot of smudging. You have to be gentle and make sure you dont have too much product on the brush. That being...

Come on, L'Oreal! You can do better than this! Though advertised on the packaging as smudge-proof, this mascara smeared, clumped and smudged before I was even out of the house (fortunately, so I...

I really like this mascara. The spiky little ball applicator has a knack for getting to lashes that might not get attention from a conventional wand, which makes a big difference on me. I can...

I have quite long lashes and wanted to be able to lift them up and reach the smaller inner ones, but this mascara left me with spiders' legs eyelashes and I found it hard to use. I don't...

I really wanted the wand to work on my thin lashes but alas, the wand is too long for good control. The formula gets clumpy very soon (after about 6 uses over 3 weeks) and the mascara does flake...

I won't be buying this again. I don't like the formulation of the mascara. It is a gorgeous black but it clumps very easily and flakes a bit after a few hours. I just prefer a different formulation...

I love the shape of the wand. It really helps me get to smaller areas such as the inside corner, the very outside, the shorter eyelashes and my lower lashes. If you're not really good with getting...

I really like the wand. I find it easy to use and like the smaller size and shape. As far as the formula goes, it's okay. I haven't experienced the clumping that other reviewers have. But I...

This reminds me of Givenchy's Phenomen'eyes. It's great for lengthening and reaching your inner lashes but it makes my lashes look like spider legs....the other thing I dislike is the actual wand's...

As a diehard fan of the regular Telescopic, I have to say I was disappointed with this product. The brush was flimsy - it felt like I was going to break it as I put it back in the tube. Not...

UPDATE reduced this from 3 lippies down to 2 as the wand is just too frustrating. I keep ending up with too much product and I want a mascara that isnt this complicated to apply. I do like it for...
