As soon as I saw this mascara on the shelves, I wanted to snatch it up and try it on. It promises plenty of volume – up to 15x! This month, I decided I would put it to the test. Keep reading for my thoughts on this mascara.
L’Oreal Voluminous Manga Mascara
Price: $7.99
This mascara helps you achieve big manga-style eyes by adding tons of volume to your lashes.
My Thoughts
The wand bends below the brush. I’m not sure what the exact purpose for that is. It kind of annoyed me at first, but it wasn’t enough to turn me off of the mascara. I actually love this mascara!
It lifts/separates my lashes, makes them darker, and adds volume. There’s no clumping or flaking. This is one of the better drugstore mascaras I’ve tried in a long time. It’s comparable to some of the higher end mascaras I’ve used. It looks best when I apply two coats.
The brush is cone-shaped. The tip is small, making it easy to access inner lashes. I feel that the shape and size of the brush allow for me to reach the root of the lashes. I can confidently wear this mascara by itself (no shadow or liner) and my eyes still look great. To me, that’s a sign of a really good mascara. It’s great for days when I’m in a rush to get ready and can’t do a full makeup routine.

Buy it?
Yes! It’s definitely worth a try. It’s affordable and it adds a good amount of volume without making lashes appear spidery. I’ll be repurchasing this mascara!
Have you tried it? What do you think?
Your lashes look great! I don’t have much luck with mascaras, so I’m hesitant to give this a try myself.
