L’Oreal is in hot water over a recent advertisement featuring their Telescopic Mascara. In the ads, they boasted that you could have lashes that are up to 60 percent longer with their product. In the TV spot, Penelope Cruz is seen applying the Telescopic Mascara and saying, “Lashes that could reach for the stars.”

A woman (what is she, the commercial police?) who saw the ad suspected that Pe was wearing falsies on her lashes and complained to the Advertising Standards Authority. L’Oreal was investigated and they admitted that Pe was wearing some fake individual lashes in the Paris Telescopic Mascara commercial…gasp! Say it isn’t so! Heh.

So long story short, L’Oreal must now add a disclaimer in future advertisements whenever models are wearing the falsies on their lashes. Come on, does anyone really believe that you can buy an over the counter mascara and have beautiful lashes like Penelope’s? Sheesh.
