I'm BACK BABY! - New Mascara review - L'Oreal Manga ...

Hey Hey people! 

I know its been forever since I posted however I got a busy crazy job since my last post which leaves me with little spare time. 

Plus doesn't give me much sleep to allow me time to apply mascara on a daily basis anymore! :( Killer! 

Anyways enough of that. My sister recently bought me the new 'L'oreal Miss Manga Punky' mascara which is suppose to give you Mega Volume according to the packaging. 

I was a little unsure of this mascara to begin with as I have used the L'oreal Miss Manga (original) before and wasn't overly impressed. Worked well with other mascaras however didn't stand out by itself to me.  

Anyways I thought I would give it ago and here are my results... 

I would like to confirm that no fibre lash or any other extension of lashes product has been used with this mascara. The following images are the use of the mascara ( and my eyelash comb) only.

As you can see not massive! 

Here is the mascara and the packaging it shows.... 

Products used with mascara...

LOVEEEEEE my metal eyelash comb ...

Here are the results.... 

Pictures say a thousand words...

I personally love this mascara! 
It really shocked me as my opinion of the brush when I first looked at it wasn't the best. I thought it looked clumpy and gave the impression that there was more mascara than brush.
However when I used it I was very impressed. 
It didn't take long to create the look you see in the pictures. Only needed around two coats to get the look I was after. 

Not sure of the price paid for this one as it was given as a gift however through looking online I can see that the mascara is around £8.99 - £9.99 so not the cheapest out there. 

My Overall score would have to be an 8/10. I had to use my comb to separate as it did slightly clump my lashed together and the price have swayed it down to an 8. 

Other than that I would deffo recommend this as a must have for any mascara lover. 

Look out for the next post which may be a review of a brand new Benefit piece.

The Work of Fibre Lash with an Amazing Mascara...

Fibre Lash in all its Glory... 

Okay so I rave about Fibre lash so much. So before I went on my Holly Bops (Holiday :) I decided that I wanted to have Amazing Long BIG stand out lashes at the air port. So I put two of my most favourite mascara helpers together to achieve greatness. 

So the Images you will see below DO NOT have falsies or lash insets within them. They DO however have different types of fibre lash which I will explain more in detail below. It takes time to get amazing lashes so this is usually something I would do for a night out when I have time to put my face on. :)

Images of my lashes before any mascara has been applied.











I managed to achieve this Look....

To get this look then carry on reading....


So before I apply any mascara I used my White fibre lash. For this look I used the Maybelline New York XXL Curl Power fibre lash.

This Provided a base coat if ya like to my lashes and added length before I even had chance to apply mascara. I love this kind of fibre lash as it just goes on the same as a normal mascara. 

This makes your lashes look like they have White Mascara on them. It literally just adds length and will be covered up by the mascara when you come to apply this later on. 

So after the fibre lash has dried I added a layer of my favourite mascara being the Benefit sampler that I got previous with Elle mag. (See previous posts for review) 

This added immediate length on top of the fibre lash. After applying a layer of this amazing mascara I added a layer of Boujour Elastic (also one of my personal faves) I always use this mascara just before I use my Lash extender. 

This provides a good base coat for the lash extender. 

So basically the Lash extender is made up of little fibre hairs (which I have explained about in previous posts.) Which cling to the mascara (being wet) and your lashes. You apply another coat of mascara over the top and it provides amazing thickness as well as length. 

So I apply this over my Boujour Elastic. I always do a couple of coats. 

 This is the look you can get from all of the above. I wanted to show you just the top lashes as it gives off the impact. Although the process sounds long winded it takes me approximately 10mins per eye when I want Huge lashes. 

This one shows both top and bottom lashes completed. Amazing. 

This shows the difference in lash size. My lashes shown on your right >>> do have fibre lash on but you can't really see it. So you can really tell the difference in lash length, thickness and definition. 

This Picture really shows the length difference. 

So obviously you will need to repeat the above process with the other eye to complete your look. 

Then you will be left with AMAZING lengthy defined lashes.

I LOVEEEEE having my lashes like this and really wish that I could spent this much time on them everyday. 

I would defiantly recommend maybe just using the Lash extender without the need of fibre lash if you wanted to spend less time on your lashes. This will provide similar if not the same results. 

So what do you think of this amazing look? Would you take the time to achieve the falsies look without the need of false lashes? 

I Love mascara so I don't mind taking the time to make my lashes perfect as its the first thing people will see what I meet them. I also have to wear glasses so I have to make them Xtra long to get them noticed when they are hidden behind frames and lenses. 

Do you have any hidden mascara secrets that could change the way I get amazing results? Then let me know. 

Any questions feel free to ask. ^_^ 

New Mascara Review ...

Mascara Review - L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess....

Sorry its been awhile people. I have been busy with interviews and recently got back from the wonderful Rome in Italy. Lovely Place. 

Though i'd restart up my mascara reviews with this one. I bought this ages ago an I'm not particularly sure if its still available but I know the Volume Million Lashes mascara is still available. Priced at around £10.99 however L'Oreal seems to be on the 3 for 2 offer quite a lot. 

This Mascara has a rather large, well long brush compared to the Volume Million lashes. Its a plastic brush. 

It is a mixture of longer and shorter plastic bristles mixed together to allow your lashes to separate when you pull the brush over them. 

I did crop the above pic but it refused to show the cropped version on my blog ... :'/ 

I do like this mascara and have used it quite a few times in the past. With the brush being the size it is you can cover most of your lashes from just one stroke. The end of the brush is again smaller to allow you to reach those corner lashes without problem. 

This mascara provided length and separation to some degree. I did have to use my eyelash comb to get the odd ones that stuck together. 

As usual I will show you pictures of my eyelashes without any mascara or fibre lash on so you can see the length and texture of my natural lashes. 

I HAVE NOT USED AND LASH INSETS OR FALSIES IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. I HAVE NOT USED FIBRE LASH OF ANY KIND EITHER SO THE RESULTS YOU SEE BELOW ARE THAT OF THE MASCARA AND THE MASCARA ONLY. 

As you can see from the above it provides amazing length. I have used my eyelash curlers to get the top lashes to curl a little more as they didn't seem to curl with just the brush. 

The positives of this mascara is defiantly that it works with your bottom lashes perfectly. I was able to give my bottom lashes perfect coverage in around 3 strokes of the brush itself. 

I did have to add a few more coats on my top lashes to give them that thicker image which was a bit of a let down. 

This picture shows the length in a bit more detail on the top lashes anyways. Although saying that when looking up your lashes always seem longer. 

This mascara is a good one for people who may be in a rush to put mascara on. Specially if you just want light eyelash cover. Although it doesn't take much more time to just stick an addition layer of mascara on if you were in a hurry and looking for thicker lashes. 

Works wonders on your bottom lashes too. Only down sides that I noticed is that it does take awhile to dry and when I was trying to separate the few lashes that decided to stuck together it push others around it together which was a slight pain. 

For the price this mascara is a good one. It doesn't overtake the benefit mascara that I have tried but I would still happily use this one if that one wasn't an option. 

So my overall score of this L'Oreal creation would be a 8 / 10. Its easy to use and the size / length of the brush is perfect. It really works your bottom lashes with ease and can add length and definition to the top lashes. 

Has anyone else used this and agree? Disagree with my comments? Let me know.

Review on Benefit They're Real

This mascara, today was a freebie that I got with Elle mag else I wouldn't usually review expensive Mascaras. 

This is obviously smaller that ya standard mascara as it was a freebie but worked just as well. Currently priced at £19.50 for the proper size which is VERY pricey for a mascara. So if your looking for a cheap one then this isn't the one for you. 

The brush on this mascara is plastics again. The end of the brush has little bristles on so you can get those hard to reach lashes. I liked the look of this brush as I'm a fan of plastic brushes. This one had little and slightly longer bristles. 

I'm blogging from my mobile for this one so can't provide a picture of what my lashes look like without mascara as I don't have that pic of my phone anymore . But you can check this from my previous blog posts. 

NO LASH INSETS OR FALSIES HAVE BEEN USED IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES. HONESTY!! THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE THE RESULTS OF TH E MASCARA ONLY. NO FIBRE LASH HAS BEEN USED EITHER. These results may shock you!! 

This provided AMAZING length from stroke one!! It separated the lashes and provided amazing definition. It curled the lashes without the use of eyelash curlers. Truly and amazing brush. 

This was the result of using the mascara without the use of eyelash curlers. As you can see they are quite curled. Worked well on both the bottom and the top lashes. This mascara is truly amazing. 

The photo below shows the results of the mascara and eye lash curlers. So slightly more curved up and noticeable. But personally if you didn't have eyelash curlers handy then I wouldn't worry about using them to much. 

This mascara does everything that I want a mascara to do. If it wasn't so expensive then I would have to give it an overall score of 10/10 as I had to run in and tell the mother how amazing it was straight after applying!! But as the is expensive it will have to settle for a 9/10 as the only flaw in this mascara is the price. 

Defiantly in my top five if not my top three of Mascaras. Love love love this. 

Anyone else used this and have been amazed?? Like me then let me know. 

If you haven't already go out and buy Elle mag to get this amazing freebie. It's £4.00 for the mag which gives you amazing fashion advice so totally worth it especially with this free gift!!!
