Although there are countless mascaras on the market right now, whether they are ranging from volume mascaras to length mascara, I would like to talk about my favorite one right now.
Telescopic by L’Oréal, is not only an affordable mascara but it has many attributes as well. The mascaras base price is $11.99, but depending on what store you’re shopping at the prices may fluctuate. Even though $11.99 may seem pricey, it doesn’t even begin to enter the ballpark of expensive mascaras. For example, the Bang Bad gal mascara by Benefit cosmetics goes for around $27 in your local beauty store. Comparatively the two mascaras have very similar aspects, such as volume, length and color. The biggest difference being that Bang is a volume mascara. You may also get length results, but in my personal experience I have only gotten volume.
Whereas with Telescopic mascara, it provides all three aspects. Not only does it give you length, volume and color, it is also cruelty free and healthy for the environment. If that isn’t persuading enough, Telescopic mascara is waterproof.
If you are looking for a mascara to just grab and go, you may want to go with the Essence Lash Princess volume mascara. In all this truly is a good mascara. There are some flaws to it as well, such as being on the cheaper sides of mascaras these days. Lash Princess is probably one of the most well-known and used mascaras. It goes for about $4.99 online and in store. Its benefits being Volume and Long-Lasting wear. It is unfortunately not waterproof. Another con to this mascara is that it is very easy to smudge and leave black streaks underneath your eyes.
At the end of the day, everyone has their own preferences but there can only truly be one best mascara. Bang mascara is overpriced and does not give you the same results that Telescopic would. Lash Princess may be the cheaper option but will leave you with small black particles underneath your eyes. So, at the end of the day Telescopic is the affordable and most effective choice.
