Advantages: Shape of the brush allows easier access to inner and outer lashes

Disadvantages: Clumps, time-consuming application

We, girls, can not live without mascara and I am always on the hunt to find that magic one that will make my lashes look extra nice.

Also I have a terribly weakness for new products with a difference and since Ginvenchy launched their mascara with a ball-shaped brush I was intrigued.
But with a hefty price tag I decided to forget about it.

Then came along a L'Oreal similar product, the Telescopic Explosion Mascara. I saw it on offer in Boots for £6.80 instead of the normal £8.80 price tag so I could not resist.

The mascara comes in two colors: black and brown in a red and black tube containing 8ml. I chose the black one.
The brush is called "flexi-globe" and it is round, like a ball and supposedly you can use it from multiple angles.

It claims it is "ultra precise and easy to use". Not so much so, I found it very difficult and time-consuming to apply and not that precise as it made my upper lashes clump a bit. But I did like that I could reach the inner and outer lashes easier than with a normal brush and it was also easier on the bottom lashes.

"Your lashes look fanned out" is another claim but I did not notice much of a difference than from a mascara with a traditional brush.

The product was "tested under ophthalmological control, suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers".

Summing up, the results are okay but nothing really extraordinary. The application is quite time consuming.
Probably I would not buy again in the future.

Summary: Stick to the tradional
