L'oreal New Miss Manga Mascara Review

Extra beauty post as I missed last weeks:

So I've always liked L'Oreal mascaras, I won't lie Maybelline is my favourite "drugstore" brand for mascara,I've never been disappointed when I try out one of their new mascaras unfortunately this product did not have the same effect. 



I was really excited by this new mascara as I thought the concept of a 360 degree flexible brush was intriguing and innovative. I also liked that there are three colours: turquoise, violet and black. I'm not a big risk-taker with mascara I usually stick to black but I thought if I like the product I will go back and try another colour.





Unfortunately I do not think I will be trying out the other two colours due to the fact I was quite disappointed in this product. I felt the unique quality of the product (the brush) doesn't actually move at all when applying the mascara it just acts as a normal brush. 
When first applied this is far from "Mega Volume". Unless I apply pencil eyeliner to my tight line I find it only lengthens my lashes. When I apply more to help the volume it clumps my lashes together. With this mascara the more you apply the more volume you get but that comes with clumping for me.





This product is for those who want very natural looking lashes or quite heavy mascara. This is not my preference and as it was quite expensive for a highstreet mascara at £8.99 I feel it was a bit of a waste of money. 

However every cloud has a silver lining it will be useful for natural days because I quite like how it looks with only one coat.

This is quite a controversial view about this products, other reviews I have read said how much they love this mascara, I just feel that it is not my cup of tea. Oh well I'll stick to my Maybelline Volum' Express One By One for now.

Day to Night Make Up - Feat Naked 3 Palette

Here's my pretty make up look to get you from day to night this winter featuring the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette that my incredible brother bought me for christmas (I owe him big time for that).



Day Make Up:



Liz Earle Skin Repair moisturiser
MaxFactor Facefinity 3 In 1 foundation - Light Ivory
Collection 2000 concealer - 2 Light
Maybelline Super Stay 24H powder - Ivory
Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Blonde
L'oreal Super Liner eyebrow pencil - 03 Brunette
Rimmel Sofy Kohl eye liner - Jet Black (only for tight line)
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette 
- Dust to lids
- Buzz to crease
- Strange to brow bone and inner corner of eye
Maybelline the Falsies
Vaseline


In the early hours of the morning we do not want to spend hours on our make up but still want to look bright or presentable at least. This look leaves you looking awake (from the light and shimmery colours used on the eyes) and flawless (with the full coverage concealer) with ease.

Night Make Up:


Maybelline Dream Sun bronzer - Brunette
(to add emphasis to cheek bones)
Urban Decay Naked 3 palette
- Mooner between brow bone and crease to blend out
- Blackheart to outer corner of eye and under lower lash line
- Dust to inner part of lid for a touch up
Maybelline Master Duo eye liner (I forgot to do this)
Add emphasis with Maybelline the One by One mascara
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable balm stain - Crush Beguin
 *Of course touch up foundation, concealer if you need to


To glam up your day look so you're ready for a night out you want to add a bit of colour to your face. Do this by adding a pop of colour to your lips and some smokiness to your eyes to get that sexy look.
