Hello Beauties!
Recently the drugstores released a new version of L'Oreal's famous Miss Manga mascara, "Miss Mangia Rock."
Originally I wasn't overly impressed with the regular Miss Mangia mascara, but after seeing some reviews on the 'Rock' version, I decided to give it a whirl.
The formulation of this mascara is very similar to the original, however the brushes are very different.
Original Miss Manga:
The original has a more traditional mascara wand shape, but it tapers towards a point. It has an almost pine cone shape. The application is more feathery compared to the 'Rock' version. This also has natural bristles as opposed to a synthetic rubber brush. It is marked to produce both volume and length on the lashes.
Miss Manga Rock:
This brush is very different from any other I've seen. If you look straight from the point it has a star shape (adding to the rock theme I assume) and it has a staggering almost arrow like shape along the bristles. I'm pretty sure these are synthetic bristles which can give lashes a more lengthening look. This is actually kind of strange considering the mascara is marketed for killer volume.
Both mascaras give your lashes a clumpy look, if you want something more dramatic I would go for the Rock version, of you want a bit more natural, the original might be better. I personally prefer the rock because it gives a lot of volume and makes your lashes very dark and bold. Both are good mascaras though.
The formula is very loose for a mascara. I prefer a dryer formula because I feel that it is more controllable when building volume and manipulating the lashes. However as far as a liquidy mascara goes, this one is one of the better ones. I do tend to get it a lot on my eyelids and even on my nose a time or two (whoops!) formulas that are wetter are a lot easier to mess up on, so if your new to mascara, I recommend something with a denser formula such as L'Oreal voluminous mascara.
If you've tried these mascaras let me know in the comments what you think about them!
Best Wishes,
Heather
