Miss Manga Mascara Review


The other day I was in need of some new mascara and I had seen the commercials for the L'oreal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara.
The name is what got me. I'm a huge fan of anime/manga so I had to buy this one! 
Personally, I was let down by this product. 
I really wanted to love it, but I just don't.

The packaging is good. I like the metallic pink/purple tube it's in.
I picked up the blackest black color, and it was super dark, which is what I want! 
But the wand is strange.
It bends. A lot. There is a joint in it, and I'm not sure if you can see it in the pictures but it is completely flexible, and for me it ruined this mascara. 
I felt like I had no control over what I was doing when applying it. When putting it on, the brush would bend and it made it so I couldn't get product on my eyelashes. 

I know this could just be my fault. After a few tries I sort of got the hang of it, but I'm still not loving this mascara. It's not one that I would go out and buy again. 
The only thing I really like about this product is that it goes on my lower lashes really well. Usually when applying mascara it goes all over the place when it comes to my lower lashes, but with this it goes on nicely. 

Has anyone else tried this out? I've heard other people say they love it! So I'd really like to know your opinions!

If you'd like a better explanation I've put up a video too! I'd love it if you checked it out. :)

  3. I have never even thought about L'oreal mascaras since all the Maybelline ones seem to be doing so good. Gonna have to look into this, thanks

  5. What gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS photos! I love how beautiful the mascara looks against your pretty manga backdrop! <3
    I love the metallic pink and purple design. It's such a shame that the mascara didn't live up to expectations, especially as it looks so promising. On the other hand you've done so well, it can't have been easy with such a bendy wand but your application is just beautiful in your video, so flawless! It really stands out, and looks truly very striking! Perfection!

    Another amazing video hon, I've said it before but will say it again; you really are a true natural in front of the camera. You come across as super friendly, sweet-natured and it's so lovely to get to know you better through your videos :) Can't wait to see more vids, I'm so proud of you Christina! xo

    1. Thank you!! I love taking product photos :) I think the design of the mascara is great too! It definitely made me want to buy it! It is seriously hard to apply, so I'm glad you can still see it in the video! A bit worried I did a poor job of showing it.

      I'm so thankful for your support! And I'm so glad you've ventured into video making too!!! It's great to have someone else I know who does it! <3 <3 <3

  6. I enjoyed this video too :)
    The way that brush was bending was really odd! I think I'll steer clear of this one. I manage to get mascara everywhere with a sturdy brush!

  7. I've heard a lot of negative reviews about this mascara because of the brush bending! I get mascara everywhere as it is with a normal brush so I don't think this would work too well for me haha xx

  8. Watched your youtube video too, it's great that you did such an honest review. Honestly I have no idea why they would think that making the wand flexible like that would be a good idea. I love manga and anime too ^

  16. The name would totally make me buy it too as I am a huge anime/manga fan too. I'm currently watching a new series called Knights of Sidonia, I would describe it as Evangellion in space :)
    Well I will give this one a miss I think, I'm clumsy enough as it is and the joint in the middle of the wand scares me a bit :)

  17. Great review! Really interesting about the bend in the wand, sounds rather weird! Maybe one I don't need to try!

  19. I loove the formula of this mascara, but I know exactly what you mean about the wand. It's way too flimsy!
