NEW Miss Manga Mascara by L'Oreal

Mascara is one of my most favorite beauty products, so I am always keeping my eye out for new kinds. I noticed this really cute commercial on the television that would come on and interrupt my favorite shows all the time (ehem, Pretty Little Liars). I finally decided to pay attention to it and noticed it was an advertisement by L'Oreal for their new Miss Manga mascara! That is when I knew, I was going to the drug store to pick it up ASAP.
Their pitch for this product is that it will give you those huge, over the top "manga" style eyes. Who doesn't love to brighten and widen their eyes? Everyone does.. So I wanted to see if their claim is even half true!

APPLICATION: 

So initially, before you cover the wand in mascara, the brush is a really pretty hot pink. Not that that matters at ALL but I thought it was really pretty. While many of the mascaras I use regularly have plastic bristles, this mascara has synthetic bristles that are similar to an eyebrow brush. They are narrow at the tip and widen towards the bottom, making it really easy to get to all your small lashes at the inner corner of your eyes. Also, this wand is flexible. As you can see in the picture to the left, their is an indent about a half an inch below the brush. This is a 360 degree flexor, making it even more easy to apply mascara to all the difficult and tight places! The shape of the applicator combined with the flexor make for an easy application to every little lash. 

FINAL PRODUCT: 

After applying the mascara, and loving how easy it was to get to even the tiniest lash, I noticed how much length and volume it adds. Not only does it thicken your lashes a bit, it also lengthens them, almost like a mascara with fibers . I did notice that it clumps a bit if you go in for a second coat, which I'm not quite used to as I've been using Covergirl's Clump Crusher for months. Now, this does not bother me too much. You just have to act quick and get that second coat on before it dries, or you'll have a really unappealing process applying it. In the pictures below, I only used one coat of mascara. So keep in mind, you could bump it up to 2-3 coats and imagine the final results?

OVERALL: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My final opinion on Miss Manga is that it has a lot of potential. It's so build able that yes, it can give your eyes that really large, metaphorically 'manga' look. I give it 4/5 stars based on its wand especially. Even if they were to tweak the product to make it a more wet mascara in the future, they should definitely keep the same wand. It is also both voluminous and lengthening, so that's awesome. A friend of mine even asked if I was wearing Too Faced's Better than Sex mascara! **$8 at Ulta, but also buy one get one 50% off! (Wish I thought of that haha)
