L'Oreal came out with the Miss Manga mascara a while back and it was a great hit. I myself love it, though I don't think it necessarily had that "manga eye" effect. Nonetheless, a great volumizing mascara. They've recently come out with Manga Rock, with a special crazy looking brush to boost volume and add "texture" to the lashes.

Now, when you first look at the way this is advertised, with spikey, unnatural, very odd looking lashes, it kind of puts you off. Who wants that dramatic of a look where everything is clumped together and makes you look like you have about five lashes? Not very many people. But don't let it put you off, because this is actually a very good mascara for volume. It definitely has a more amped up, dramatic false lash look compared the the original Miss Manga, so if you're not into big, big lashes I would stay away from this one. It has a plastic bristle brush, whereas the original has a bristle applicator. I would say the formula is a lot thicker than any mascara i've tried, which is what's allowing that clumping to happen. I found working it in to the lashes a bit slower helped to kind of "tame" the clumping and get really great volume. My only issue was on the bottom lashes. It was hard to have it not clump and smudge all under the eyes, so q-tips were a must to clean things up.

I must say I was surprisingly pleased with this mascara. I was definitely a bit hesitant to try it as they don't exactly do a good job at selling it in their advertisements. If your a fan of a full lash, or just intrigued to see how it looks, give it a go. It's actually not that bad! Have you tried this? Let me know your thoughts.

  1. I was hesitant of this one at first as well and it weighed down my lashes a lot :( Buut if you pair it with a waterproof mascara first, then it will hold a good curl and give you tons of volume!

    1. I never thought about that as my lashes have a curl on their own already. Nice to hear you still made it work for you though! :)

  2. The ads for this mascara were definitely... Interesting. It's good to know that it is a good mascara for a regular look! And it looks great on you! I definitely have some decisions to make next time I need a mascara, there are so many things to choose from, and now this is on the list as well!
