Confession: I have absolutely NO idea how many mascaras I’ve tried since I started my blog… But, since I’ve tried SO many, I think it’s safe to say I know a good mascara when I try one. From $70 designer mascaras to $3 drugstore mascaras, I’ve pretty much seen them all. And recently I discovered an affordable drugstore mascara and it’s really really good. Keep on reading to find out which mascara I’m obsessed with!
THE MASCARA
The magical drugstore mascara you need to try? The L’ Oréal Telescopic Mascara. I’m usually a fan of mascaras that add volume aka make my eyelashes look thicker. Even though this mascara is a lengthening one, it definitely adds volume too! I also love the plastic brush, which easily separates my eyelashes and makes them look super long. This mascara typically retails for $10, but of course I found it for a few bucks less on Amazon!

Nice! You always look so pretty Sona ?
One more I have to try. I really like lenghting mascara because of my hooded eyes.
This one is AMAZING! Let me know what you think when you try it, love ya! Xx
This one is my absolute favorite !!! Except I get the black tube ! It’s seriously so lengthening . It’s a game changer !! I use the white loreal mascara primer under it too and it makes your lashes so long !
Oooo must try this
Ok so I don’t as using the lash paradise. Now I’ll try this one. I had it my hand , put it back. ?thanks for your tips #24hourclub. Your #caliglow pics are insane !! Love them

You’re going to love this one if you try it babe!
Going to try!
My lashes are so straight the only one that works is the falsies by maybelline but I will try this one for sure . :)
Do you curl your lashes before applying mascara? That’s what I have to do the the Lash Paradise works well.
Yeah love, I always curl my lashes before applying mascara! ?
This is nice I have to try it ASAP ? currently one Loreal voluminous lash paradise and it ok. Love your posts Sona ??????
Hi Sona – what lipstick or gloss are you wearing please?
Hi love, this is L’Oreal’s Colour Riche Lipstick in Dazzling Doe! Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/2HLqY96
nice I will def try it. love your recommendations :)
I need to try this. I currently use Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise. You and your team have a great day!
Aww, thank you my love. Hope you had an amazing weekend, xx.
I bought it when you mentioned it a couple posts ago and I’m in love! At first it was a little tricky but once I figured out how to use the brush, it quickly became my favorite. The best part of it for me is that I don’t need to curl my lashes at all. Never really liked the feeling of a curling my lashes to begin with so this mascara is officially my go to!
Aww yay, I’m so glad you like it my love! It works wonders.
Do yo use Waterproof version? is the gold one the waterproof? I remember trying the Black version and it made my lashes loose the curl, they went back to being straight all over and very uneven. You need to try the Maybelline Total Temptation waterproof mascara. It’s a light blue tube, I think you will love it as well ! :)
Hi babe, this one isn’t the waterproof one!
I like Lash Paradise and I have been wanting to try this mascara for a long time! My niece loves it too and has been recommending it as well. Thank u Sona. Miss seeing you on Snapchat!❤️
I love this mascara, I remember Carli Babel swear by it years ago, so I have been using it for a while now. I’m so glad you got your hands on it. Love from NJ
I will have to try it! For years I loved the Maybelline Great Lash, it was the only one I would ever buy.
Been using this mascara for years and absolutely love! Thank you for finding this on Amazon for just $7!!
I’m glad I could find a deal on it for you babe! Amazon is the best for this. ? Love ya!
I bought this mascara right after the first time you used it in a Youtube Video and I absolutely love it! Definitely my favourite mascara, it works perfectly on my eyelashes
100% agree! I adore this mascara and always wonder why it’s not on top favorite lists (Glamour, Allure etc) more often!
I love this mascara too! In fact I’ve been in love with it for the past so many years. It’s the best lengthening mascara drugstore or high end! I wonder what’s the difference if there is any between the black and the gold tube. Does anyone know?
Hmmm I think I would give it a try ? thanks for your awesome reviews & finds, especially from the drugstore lol xoxo
Of course pretty. You know I can never turn down a drugstore find on one of my favs. ?
My amazon cart is filled with amazing products, thanks to all of your recommendations! Can’t wait to try this one. I don’t have very long lashes so lengthening and volumizing ones are my go to! Thanks for this post!
Hi Sona, I agree right along with you on this mascara. I love the telescopic mascara!!! I have been using it for awhile now. I like the thin wand which allows me to get right at the root & go up to make my lashes look thicker & longer. It is fabulous!!! And like you mentioned it also separates the lashes. Definitely one of my favorite mascaras. I also recommend a mascara that is my ultimate go to is Blinc mascara amplified & volumizer. It forms tiny water-resistant tubes around your lashes that cannot run, smudge, clump or flake. It delivers just as it claims. I love it!! I put the telescopic mascara on top & bottom lashes first & then follow up with Blinc mascara & it stays put all day. It will not run or smudge. You can rub your lashes & it does not smudge. It is all waterproof. It is awesome!!! Blinc mascara amplified!!!! It also comes in unique packaging. The tube is encased in what looks like a metal paint tube with a cap on top that you remove & then you pull out the tube of mascara. I just think the mascara formula is great!!!
Definitely picking this up soon! ❤️
Sounds nice! Gotta try it!
Definitely I’m gonna try it! Thanks for the tip!!! ?
It’s the one I use for everyday..this one and pupa’s one..also like 7$ cost…
Loving the new maybelline the coconut one that’s my number 1 fave. And waiting for the kush milk makeup one it’s supposed to do wonders for your lashes ?
OmG its my most favorite mascara ever!!!
Really?! So many people love this mascara! I’ve been getting so many comments from people who’ve had this one for years!
Although I swear by the Better than Sex Mascara however, the Maybelline Push up falsies is my favorite out of the drugstore options!
I own it and I love it!!!
I have pretty long lashes so volmizing mascara is usually what I need. My favourite mascara is definitely Benefit roller lash because it gives me a good lift and can get all the way to the tip of my lashes. Always looking for cheaper alternatives though, might have to give this a try!
I LOVE love LOVE this mascara !!
This has been my favs mascara for many years! I highly recommend it too!!!
Great minds think alike ? So happy you love this one too!
Cool. My all time favourite drugstore mascara is from Maybelline; Maybelline Great lash for daily use. Otherthan this it’s Rimmel scandal eyes mascara. ??
I am a classic girl. I used and rebuy again and again the voluminous original by loreal.
I recently started using maybelline total temptation recently and I’m actually loving it.. you should definitely give that one a try…
Thanks for the recommendation babe! I always love hearing what your favorites are!
Yes!! Trip to CVS! I am on the hunt for a new mascara, thank you! ❤️❤️
I love this mascara! Unfortunately in the Netherlands it’s €18, which is almost 20 dollars.
Love this mascara too! One of my favorites is maybelline the falsies push up drama bomb.com!
Im obsessed with mascara if there’s one thing i had to choose to wear without makeup it would have to be masacra! I bought this mascara because of your post and It makes such a difference, gives you an instant eye-opening effect! Thanks so much for you insight!
Aww, I’m so glad you love it boo! That makes me so happy! Xx
I’ve always loved this one!!! Definitely my drugstore go to! I actually really love Lash Paradise it’s a dupe for better than sex so maybe you can try that next ???
OMG Sona, i love this mascara but I have only tried the one with the black packaging.
Hey sona…
Thanks for sharing this mascara with us.
I have to give it a try! It looks gorg on your picture ??
Me fav mascara is the loreal false lash sculpt… it also gives you lots of length. I always use 2 mascaras and at the moment uts the paradise mascara but I’m not very happy with it.
So thanks for sharing, the mascara is on my list now ???
Hi Sona, this is a mascara I’m definitely going to try. I usually use waterproof cover girl mascaras. I trust your judgment I know you know what you’re talking about, I’ve tried other things you’ve recommended and loved and I have loved them as well so thank you. Have a great day
I love the Cover Girl ”The Super Sizer”. The brush seems a lot similar to this one. I will try this one to compare ; ) and if you have not try the Cover Girl, you should definitely give it a go. It is not great the first couple times you use it but once some air has enter in the tube it is fantastic! xxx
It’s great to see an influencer talk about it. I have been using it for years (more than 7 years), until last year, when I just could not find it anywhere. I thought it was discontinued. I tried so many other mascaras, it just did not work as well as Loreal. luckily, it was stocked up again after months of searching. When I wear it, people think my lashes are fake. It’s just the best!
Thank you for sharing.
