L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara
Posted by VickyC on November 24th, 2009
You must have seen the ads.. Penelope Cruz with gorgeous eyelashes and perfect make-up. Did you buy into the hype of the New Breakthrough Mascara? Yes, it’s brush does remind me of those spikey acrylic earring beads in crazy neon colours that the skater kids wear, but I definitely got sucked in by all the ads.
I went to buy the L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion mascara today and I LOVE IT!!! The little tiny brush is amazing. You can get to all of your eyelashes – even the baby corner ones, it’s not clumpy or too heavy. Basically, it’s great.
And then, I was sitting here thinking what else to write – well, because that’s pretty much it, and I thought, “this L’Oreal mascara looks REALLY big… I wonder how much bigger it is in volume compared to the Maybelline mascaras. It’s going to last forever!!”. So I dug out all of my Maybelline mascaras and a CoverGirl one, for good measure, and started googling the fl oz and ml of all of them.. And to my complete surprise, the volume of the L’Oreal one is actually less – but CoverGirl was surprisingly the smallest of them all. Check it:
** Oh my god, right?!?! I know!! **
Who’d have thought that the tiny baby Great Lash mascaras had more product in them compared to the others. And the pictures above ARE to scale.
In terms of the L’Oreal product, I figured it’s the packaging. It’s deceiving. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Most things are like that. Wine bottles with the big indent in the bottom of them… They could fit a few extra gulps in there if they levelled out the bottom… Face creams in boxes that have hidden empty compartments in the bottom of them – so you think the tub of cream is GIGANTIC, but you open it and to your dismay it’s miniscule.. I could keep going, but I won’t.
But this mascara, in the packaging, looked really big. And with the cap on, it’s enormous. Nevertheless, this is just a minor thing, and I will keep using it and continue loving it! Also, I do enjoy the name – Telescopic Explosion! Say it in a gameshow host voice! It’s very amusing!
The retail price for this is around £10.00 in the UK and around $12 in Canada.
