I kind of made an unspoken rule to myself to not buy mascaras from the likes L'Oreal, Maybelline, Rimmel etc because they are getting ridiculously expensive, almost to the £10 mark and even over but this one was more reasonable at £5.99 and for L'Oreal make-up I thought that was quite a bargain.
When I saw the new Miss Manga mascara I thought it was weird to be honest. The advert makes the girl's eyes look really, really clumpy, like they have little dots of mascara on. Not very manga at all if you ask me and I even commented on Twitter somewhere that 'clumps seen to be back'… they're not and this mascara isn't as clumpy as I thought it might be. I have to admit there is some clumping if you apply too much but overall I actually quite like this mascara, which is quite surprising. I guess you shouldn't judge a mascara by it's TV advert.
The mascara has a 360 degree wand, which I find helps grab the lashes a lot more. It's nice and easy to hold and because the wand is thinner towards the tip you can really get into the corners. I think if you're going for a manga look then this is definitely worth buying but it's also great for people like myself who don't really want the full on manga look but maybe just a little bit of volume. It certainly makes a nice change to the Natural Collection mascara I've been using. It's much more dramatic!
Have you tried this? What are your thoughts?
I'd never even heard of it until now.

This looks very interesting but as a rule I don't buy L'Oréal products, so I'll give this a pass.

Hmm - I've seen very mixed reviews of this and based on a lot of the photos I'm not too impressed, which is a shame since I picked it up a few weeks ago, but I'll still try and we'll see what happens :o) Xx

I saw this and was curious to try it, I've not tried many L'Oreal mascaras to be honest.

I bought this today after seeing good reviews, I hope it matches my fussy needs! x
ReplyDeleteHmm I'm quite undecided on whether to buy this or not, the advert didn't really appeal to me, but the mascara did with it's rotatable wand. £5.99 doesn't sound that bad for a L'oreal mascara, even if it's just to try it out :)
ReplyDeleteI like that it gets skinnier towards the tip of the brush to get tiny lashes too. May be have to give this a bash & decide for myself :)
My go to brand for mascara will always be Maybelline :) they're the best ;)
I really want to try this mascara! <3

I just bought the butterfly mascara and I wasn't too blown away by it! Definitely more excited about this mascara! Can't wait until it comes to the US!!

The advert for this makes the girls lashes look horrible, yours look so pretty and natural definitely made me want to give this a go :) x

I was thinking of buying this when I saw it on special offer in Boots, it does look lovely on your eyes. xx
ReplyDeletei haven't seen the advert, but your lashes do look quite natural and separated!

I was seriously put off by the TV advert, I feel like we now need to create a campaign to make it clear that clumpy lashes are horrible!

I really want to try this, I've only heard good things so far. And I agree about the prices of mascaras, it's shocking. I remember when they used to cost a fiver!
