CoverGirl Bombshell Volume vs. L'Oreal Miss Manga

For the past few weeks I have put to the test two separate mascaras. These are brand new and I've been wanting to get my hands on them for some time. Finally, I was able to snag them at my local Target.

The two mascaras that I'm going to review are the CoverGirl Bombshell Volume by LashBlast and the L'Oreal Miss Manga. This is my honest opinion of both of them...

L'Oreal Miss Manga

Okay you will have to forgive the funny expressions but I wanted you to see exactly how the product looked on my eyes. This mascara promises to give you mega volume and length. The brush wand has a 360 degree flexible tip so you can get to all of your lashes. As you can tell from the photos it does give you dramatic volume and length. Overall, I firmly believe it does what the package claims. It retails for $8.99 Below you will find the pros and cons I found with this product.

Pros: Lengthens and gives voluminous lashes; comes in 3 shades (Black, Violet, Turquoise), wears all day long
Cons: Makes lashes look a little clumpy, non-waterproof, end of the day a few flakes under my eyes, very hard to get off the eyes, you have to build it up with 5 or 6 coats

All in all, this mascara was just okay. I probably won't repurchase this mascara because I have other ones that will perform even better. But for a drugstore mascara it gets the job done. Now, compared to the CoverGirl Bombshell Volume, I prefer this one much better.

This mascara is a 2 step system for your lashes. The first side is an extreme volume base coat and the second side will intensify your look. As you can tell from the photos it does provide volume and some length but not much. When you first apply side 1, it does a great job of separating your lashes and giving you that wide-eyed look. However, when you apply side 2, it makes your lashes look clumpy and the formula is way too wet. It retails for $8.94.

Pros: Gives volume and some length, wide-eyed effect, lasts all day, comes in 4 colors (Black, Brown, Very Black, Black/Brown)
Cons: Side 2 makes your lashes look clumpy, bulky packaging, flakes off some, very hard to remove even with waterproof makeup remover. 

Overall, I am not really that impressed with this mascara. I really have never been too impressed with CoverGirl mascara. I will continue to use side 1 alone but may layer another mascara over it. I will definitely not repurchase this item.
