L'oreal Telescopic Mascara


After hearing a lot of wonderful reviews on this mascara I decided to try it out. From what I understood it was supposed to lengthen your eyelashes and make them really stand out, I figured it would also separate them, because to me that's what a good mascara should do. I was really disappointed when I found out I was completely wrong about this product, it's actually one of the worst mascara's I've ever used. Now usually this is where I would say something nice about other products from the brand, but I haven't actually tried any other L'oreal products!

This mascara isn't all bad though, it does make your eyelashes stand out, but not in the way I like. It clumps your eyelashes together so it looks like you have five really thick eyelashes, and I absolutely hate mascara that clumps your eyelashes together, it's one of my biggest pet peeves. I don't know why so many people loved this mascara, cause I really dislike it, but everyone has different likes and dislikes!

Overall I wouldn't buy this mascara again, but I do plan on buying some different L'oreal products just to try them out.

Covergirl Exact Eyelights Mascara


I never really think of buying mascara from CG, I just think of them more as a company for eyeshadow and foundation. I decided to buy this mascara a couple of months ago simply because I was in need of a new mascara and this was on sale! I wasn't expecting it to be great, just lengthen my lashes a little. After using it every day for two months I can honestly say that this mascara is amazing; when I use mascara I want it to lengthen my eyelashes but also separate them and thicken them. This mascara does it all! My eyes look wider and more awake, my lashes spread out evenly and they look much much longer.

The reason this mascara is called "eyelights" is because it's supposed to enhance your natural eye colour. How? I have no idea, and honestly my eyes have never looked any brighter when I use this, but I still love it! It doesn't smudge or flake at all during the day which is great, and it comes off easily with any eye makeup remover.
Overall this is a great mascara that I'll definitely be purchasing again.

*I forgot to add that it has a rubber brush, nice quality and not flimsy
