- Welcome to Five People Try,
where five people try one product
to see if it's good for you.
(funky music)
- Today we're trying the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift Mascara.
I grew up using L'Oreal.
I feel like it was probably one of the first brands,
like, that kind of really got me into beauty.
- I know L'Oreal is more of a more affordable brand.
They were the first ever foundation I bought,
the True Match, because it was like, $17.
- One of the biggest beauty brands in the world, isn't it?
But really accessible price.
- A lot of brands under the umbrella of L'Oreal
have been in makeup forever.
- I have been using the False Lash from Telescopic L'Oreal
for like, 10 years.
I've used also the Ultra Black,
which comes in a black bottle.
- It provides an eye-opening effect
that gives length, volume and curl to lashes.
It also has ceramide in it.
That's cool. - Wow.
- Oh, result!
Up to 5mm plus visible length.
- I know that homegirl, Mikayla Nogueira,
got in heaps of trouble on TikTok,
but I've seen some real results
and I know that it plumps your lashes,
makes them look longer, thicker.
- I live for, like, people calling that stuff out.
Like Celeb Spellcheck. Do you follow them?
- I don't often wear mascara.
I see the ads. I see and it just does not work.
Years ago I did the fake lashes
and I don't think my lashes ever recovered.
- The Telescopic range has been around for a hot minute.
The OG OG YouTubers that did makeup,
I think their names are like,
Carli Bybel and stuff like that,
would swear by this mascara.
So I bought it at the age of 14
and I've dibbled and dabbled, like, with other mascaras,
but I always come back to the Telescopic range.

- I need to curl my lashes first.
- I've got really flat, straight lashes
so I have to, yeah, have to curl my lashes.
- It's kind of like flat on one side
and then more bristly on the other side.
- You have to wiggle.
- I feel like so far it's doing a really good job
at fanning my lashes out.
- Yeah, I can see a difference.
- Yeah, I love. I freaking love.
- But I am actually getting,
like, a lot of layerage and volume.
- I feel like it looks, like, spindly.
- [Crew Member] It's a little bit spindly.
- Yeah.
You can see on the bristles though that the product is,
have a look at the bristles.
- [Crew Member] Maybe you should wipe it off on.
- I'm gonna wipe the excess off.
I reckon, maybe the reason
is 'cause there was too much product on the brush.
Oh my god, Nads, this eye's better already.
Oh my god, I'm obsessed.
- [Crew Member] Really?
- Yeah.
- So that's just one layer.
- [Crew Member] That looks great.
- It looks really good.
- Yeah, so this is two coats
and I can see a little curl and a lengthening for sure.
- [Crew Member] Can you look at the camera?
- I'd probably just leave it like that.
I probably wouldn't do a whole lot more.
- My one thing with the Telescopic range,
and I can tell with this one as well,
is that it's like wine.
It gets better with time.
In the sense that when you first open it,
it is a bit more on the runny side.
So it's one of those ones
that as you use it more, dries out a little bit,
and that's when it's like the perfect consistency.
- This is like, how my lashes look
with the Lancome Lash Idole,
which is five times the price point.
So I'm happy with this.
- It's kind of like I'm wearing falsies. (laughing)
Maybe she wasn't lying.
- Yeah, look at that.
I don't know if you can see between the two eyes,
but one is significantly more.
- Personally, I prefer the look of the one coat.
I think two is just a bit too much volume for me,
'cause, again, I've got quite delicate lashes.
- It's a good, like, everyday, maybe just like one layer,
just like, a casual one.
I probably wouldn't go for it
if I was going for like, full drama.
I'd probably go for something that moves around
a little bit easier.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with that.
That's pretty cute.
- Final thoughts. Go buy it if you haven't.
- If you have long lashes and hate clumping,
this is definitely the mascara for you
to give you that wow,
like falsie look without falsies.
- It's a really good mascara for that length
and also curling.
You're not just going straight out,
it's kind of giving you a little bit of lift.
- Do I like this product? Yes.
Under the condition that I'd only be applying one coat.
- Gives it the black,
and also it has lengthened and it has curled a little bit.
Yeah.
- [Crew Member] Would you see yourself using it?
- I would see myself using this.
$30. Yeah, I do.
- It is 100% worth it.
- Considering some of the mascara's up there
are 50, 60, $70,
something like this will do the exact same job,
if not better,
actually will do it better than a lot of them,
for a price under 30 bucks.
- I'm a little bit of a tight arse when it comes to mascara.
I feel like it's one thing in your beauty kit
you can kind of get away with not spending that much.
For $30, I'd probably stick to like, maybe my Maybelline.
Sorry. (laughing)
But it's really good for that everyday look
and I definitely would use it again.
- Thanks so much for watching.

- And now I'll get one of you.
