Holy Grail Mascara Combination

Oh Hiii there!

I meant to blog this last week, but as i mentioned in my Garnier post, i've had some horrible shifts so just haven't had the time. HOWEVER -- here i am! I'm currently on my lunch break so whipped the laptop out and want to get this done before i'm inundated with work again!

So, HG mascara combination. I am literally IN LOVE with this magical combination, and cannot see myself straying, which is saying something as i am a HUGE mascara whore. 

The combination in question? Lancome - Cils Booster & L'Oreal False Lash Telescopic. 
Its quite hard to photograph the L'Oreal as its in a lovely mirror like tube, but i have tried!

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my eyelashes. I have lots of them, but they are a total pain, none of them go in the same direction, some are longer than others.... blergh.
I refuse to leave the house without mascara, and i refuse to put mascara on without my Cils Booster! I just find it makes my lashes behave! Sounds silly, but seriously, they all go in the right direction and don't go clumpy. I also find they look longer when i have a coat of Cils Booster. 

These are my lashes without anything... argh! I also have no makeup on whatsoever, so please excuse the state of me...
So as you can see, my lashes are nothing at all. Hence why i won't go out without mascara!
I was going to take a photo of just Cils Booster on, but to be honest, it didn't really show much. So i skipped to the next photo where i have 2 coats of Cils Booster, followed by the L'Oreal.

Hopefully you can see a HUGE difference!!! I am seriously in love with this combination. I wear Cils Booster with whatever mascara is my current favourite, however i think i have found my HG mascara in the False Lash Telescopic, and i don't think i'll be straying for a long time. 
I'll be totally honest, it was a bit of a last minute, unplanned decision to purchase in the first place. I was buying a lipstick for a night out, and was looking at the new L'Oreal butterfly effect mascara, but a lady who works in Boots told me that the False Lash Telescopic was her favourite ever - so i thought i'd give it a whirl. And boy am i glad i did. I literally cannot rave about this mascara enough!

About the actual mascara itself - L'Oreal state "the innovative lengthening fibre formula builds intensity, lashes look elongated" and i would 100% agree. I don't have a problem with plastic brushes, and i know some people do - but this is seriously the bee's knees (although, did you know, Bee's don't actually have knees... hmmm!) 

Since wearing this mascara, i've had so many people ask what it is, or whether i'm wearing individual lashes. 

I bought it from Boots when they had a 3-4-2 offer on (i think they still do?) so i also bought a lipstick and eyeliner, which i will try and review at a later date. 

The L'Oreal Falsh Lash Telescopic rrp's at £10.99 - for such a fabulous mascara i think this is a pure bargin!

The Lancome Cils Booster rrp's at £21.00 - somewhat pricey for a eyelash primer, however i LOVE it - i have tried others such as MAC but to be honest, nothing compares.
