L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara (Waterproof)


I don’t normally wear waterproof mascara. Mainly out of laziness, I find it a pain in the bum to take off. Yes I know waterproof mascaras tend to be better at holding a curl which I need but still laziness wins out and I opt for easy to remove formulas. Recently I found myself needing a tear, sweat and rain proof mascara though and I opted for this based on the slim wand shape. 


The wand is thin, rubber bristled and flexible. It works perfectly on my small eyes and the wand does a great job of separating my relatively dense lashes. As for the finished effect I think the pictures say it all...

Behold! Naked stubby lashes.


I don’t know about you but I think the improvement here is pretty darn impressive!



This gives a proper false lash effect on me. It holds a curl all day and this stuff does not budge. Ever. Even after showering it still looks freshly applied. This takes a heavy duty oil based eye makeup remover to get it off.

The only down side (apart from it being hard to remove) is that after about a month of opening it has started to go a little clumpy. It’s still workable but I have to comb through it with a clean spoolie as I hate clumps. For £10.99, which I consider pretty pricy for a high street brand mascara I’d expect a bit of a longer shelf life x

  1. I'm very impressed with volume! I also had a L'Oreal waterproof mascara that gave me OTT volume and yes it started clumping when the formula dried but that was only after several months.

    1. Maybe I left the lid loose one day or something but it is drying pretty quickly for me :( Shame because I love it! I definitely need to try the non waterproof version xx
