Spidery separated lashed

Good product just not for me. If you like very speperated lashes and that spidery lash look, then you'll like this! The formula glides in easily, very black and wet initially, then dries down after couple minutes. If you sneeze it ends up everywhere! But once it's dry it stays put.

Defined Lashes

I picked up this mascara from my local warehouse. I ran out of product pick this one up . When buying a mascara I’m always hoping for a mascara that lasts all day.

Packaging is bright metallic pink and black . It’s easy to read labelling . I can spot this amongst my other products easily. Consistency I fluid black .

I noticed that my eye lashes are defined nicely . My lashes are defined with this mascara. I notice by the third week of using this it starts to clump up .

Overall price wise I think it would be fair at $10 for this . Shelf life isn’t too long . It starts to clump up over time.

It's Not A Miss

I picked this up one day when it was on special at Farmers and I was in the need of a new mascara. The shiny pink packaging caught my eye and I liked the idea of having manga-style lashes.

The wand is definitely conical and flexible. At first it caught me off guard BUT it made application to my upper lashes super quick and easy and there was no transfer onto my lid.

Where this fell down was on my lower lashes - it's quite a wet formula and I kept smudging the product everywhere. So I stopped trying to use it on there. To be fair to the Manga, my lower lashes tend to be a problem area for me with the majority of mascaras, so I don't blame the mascara as much as I do my eye shape and long, skinny spider lower lashes.

Wear throughout the day was great - it didn't smudge or flake onto my cheeks. My lashes remain perky and very long and dark. It's not the most voluminous mascara out there but it definitely gives oomph.

Would I buy again? If it was on special - yes. However I do tend to like to try out new mascaras, so it would probably be bought if I'd had a bad run and wanted to use something reliable once again.

Gives bold lashes without too much effort

I found this mascara really easy to use. It wasn’t clumpy but gave good volume and length. The only thing I would say it that if you add too many layers it can look a bit spidery.

Tips: Don’t add too many layers once dry.

Thought I'd like it more...

I thought I was going to love this mascara but unfortunately it was so much clumpier than I ever imagined. I guess it only looked good for a week or two after I opened the tube before it thickened into a clumpy mess D: the black was nice and dark though!

Great mascara!

I recently purchased this mascara online as I needed a new mascara (and after reading the BR piece about how you shouldn't keep your mascara for long) it prompted me to buy haha.

I love the colour and shape of the tube, it stands out - the Manga part is actually the part that made me look at it to be honest, I mean who doesn't want super Manga lashes?? I am quite fussy with mascaras, I don't use a curler but need a mascara that coats well and gives good length.

I didn't realise that the brush was flexible until I got it, I don't like flexible brushes normally as have used in the past and just didn't like them. In saying that this one is ok, you just need to be firm and "wriggle" the brush from root to tip for good coverage. I need waterproof mascara as my eyes can run at times and end up with black all over the place (not a great look). So the fact this was waterproof was another reason for buying it.

I really like this mascara, it covers well, gives good length and stays put - but is relatively easy to wash off with a good eye makeup remover. It does take a little longer for me to apply in the morning due to the flexible brush (maybe that's just me!), but once done it lasts all day until I remove it which I love!

All in all a good mascara for the price and one which I would purchase again :)

Tips: The flexible brush can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get used to doing the root to tip thing and take your time, it's easy :)

Waterproof makes all the difference!

I am utterly obsessed with the waterproof version of this mascara! I have not tried the normal version so that would be interesting to compare.

When I wear this mascara it holds a curl forever! I have worn this mascara alone out clubbing, and like we all do on the odd occasion, I have slept in my makeup. Upon waking, I look in the mirror to see a troll with eyeshadow smudged from here to kingdom come, but closer inspection revealed perfectly curled and separated lashes. I have never had a mascara stay on that well and wear so amazingly. This is my go to mascara for longwear, where I want it to last and look its best for hours on end.

The only qualm I have with this mascara is the effort it takes to remove. It is a waterproof mascara, so I am not at all mad about that, however I do not use this mascara daily for this fact.

Tips: Good eye makeup remover is needed to get this stuff off.

Awful.

At the recommendation of a friend, I bought this mascara as I am looking for the perfect drugstore mascara. I should preface this by saying that I am extremely picky with mascaras.

The packaging for this is quite cute and eye catching - I like manga in general and so the addition of manga pictures on the cardboard this came with is something that would have caught my attention even if I weren't looking for it.

The tube itself is quite pretty and super functional without feeling flimsy or easily breakable. However, the wand is quite scary to look at.

Firstly, it is huge. If you have small eyes then you may not like this. My eyes are average size and I found it difficult not to make a mess as the brush is so huge. It tapers towards the end like a Christmas tree.

This mascara is probably ideal for someone that wants a heap of volume. Unfortunately I want something that will give me definition. Naturally I have thick, long lashes so this mascara clumps all of my lashes together and makes it look like I have a few, really thick lashes. I am not a fan of this look and thus don't like this mascara for that reason.

The fomula of the mascara itself is good. It is nice and pigmented and doesn't flake or fall off during the day.

Miss Manga in BLUE!

yup, you read right. I have this in indigo, which is a gorgeous bright mid blue shade. I have no idea if the colours have been released in NZ; I got this in Priceline in Sydney for the modest price of around $10.

My lashes are dark, so I wasn't expecting it to show up a whole lot, and I've been pleasantly surprised by the colour payoff. It's blue, in a complimentary, pretty way. I have hazel eyes, and this mascara provides an unexpected, pretty pop of colour against them. It gets lost in a more intense look, so is best with plain, light colours underneath it - it really pops next to white eyeliner.

The packaging is unique - a tapered, quite oddly shaped tube with a jet black base, and pink metallic screw cap, housing the wand. The wand irritates the life out of me. It clumps slightly and is super flexible, meaning that you have to use a million little swipes to transfer product - so I wear it infrequently. The brush tapers to a point, and is okay, but nowhere near the best i've used. I'd prefer a stiffer wand and a thinner brush on this mascara, to be honest!

The formula is thinnish but clumps a little, you need multiple coats to get the look, then they need combing out, so it's labour intensive. It's also prone to flaking as it dries. It's not the best formula, wand, or mascara in general in my opinion, but for a fun, occasional mascara, then why not. :)

Tips: Apply over mascara primer for darker lashes, or over white eyeliner/shadow on your lashline. It gets it to pop way more

Just OK

I'm not sure if I got a tube that had been sitting on the shelf a bit too long but I found this mascara to be too thick and clumpy to apply properly. I also found the brush to be a bit awkward. After just one coat, it looked like I had applied 3 or 4 coats and my lashes looked messy instead of long and polished. I really wanted to like this mascara but it just wasn't for me.
