L’OREAL Telescopic Explosion Mascara is the mass market answer to Givenchy’s Phenomenon Mascara. Just like its luxe inspiration, L’oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara has a brush that looks like a miniature medieval torture device. The spherical shaped brush is built so that it reaches each and every lash including those hard-to-reach corner lashes.

Though it looks like it can do some harm, the brush allowed me to lengthen, separate and coat every lash for a beautiful long fringe. Definitely worth its $8.99 price tag. Find it at drugstores and mass merchants.
