World renowned French cosmetics company L`Oréal Paris - a recognized leader in the production of products for face, body and hair care. Innovative developments of the company's specialists delight fans of its products constantly.
Recently saw the light of day a new, instant best-selling mascara with a promising name Miss Hippie ("Miss Hippie"). What is the difference between Miss Hippie's Loreal mascara, which already has reviews on the Web, from other similar products of this company?
International start of sales of new items from the French brand L`Oréal Paris - Miss Hippie Mega Volume Mascara took place in May 2016... It appeared on the Russian market this summer. Its manufacturer is Italy.
The bottle is designed in very bright, contrasting colors: the black tube has inscriptions in a catchy reddish-orange color, and the cap with a tassel, on the contrary, is red with black inscriptions. By the way, on the bottles sold through online stores, as a rule, there is no protective sticker against "unauthorized" opening.
Therefore, after paying for the purchase, preferably immediately, in the presence of the manager, unscrew the cap and check if there are traces of ink on the rod and at the base of the cap. If not, it means that no one has opened the bottle before, but if the brush is dirty, you can safely demand replacement of the product, since it is a cosmetic (and therefore, requiring compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards) product. But if the autopsy is found only at home, then it will no longer be possible to return or replace it.
Mascara "Loreal" Miss Hippie is produced by the manufacturer of two types: plain and waterproof. Black color. The price is from 380 rubles in online markets and, of course, more expensive in ordinary stores (although in summer there were even discounts for it).
The beautiful, somewhat pretentious bottle has a length of 14 cm and a shape that is convenient for holding in the hands: smoothly expanding walls with flat edges (front and back of the tube) make it very comfortable to use, since it is securely held by your fingers and does not try to slip out. The cap closes until it clicks.
In the photo on the Internet, on some sites, pictures of the Mega Volume Miss Hippie mascara with an orange brush are presented, but in Russia mainly tubes with a black brush go on sale, so when you open the bottle after the purchase and find a black brush, you should not be afraid that it's a fake.
By the way, the brush itself is classic: straight, fluffy enough, with soft (not silicone!) bristles of different lengths arranged in a spiral, which helps to paint over the eyelashes well with just one stroke.The working area is not very long (2.3 cm), this is a clear plus, since when applying makeup, the eyelids practically do not get dirty with mascara, which means that time and cosmetics are saved to remove unnecessary "spots".
Standard bottle volume (8.4 ml) allows you to hope that it will last for the usual several months, and an excellent rubber stopper that does not allow excess mascara to remain on the brush, firstly, it saves it well, and secondly, it leaves just as much paint on the bristles as necessary to accurately cover eyelashes without sticking them together.
The mass of the "fresh" bottle - 85 grams... Moreover, the shelf life of the content is three years.
As part of mascara - micellar water, paraffin base and almost standard cosmetic "filling".
Mascara "Miss Hippie Mega Volume": to have volume ...
Mascara "Loreal Miss Hippie" is declared, as the name suggests, giving volume to the lashes, however, reviews in this regard are contradictory. Everyone notes that its creamy texture does not allow achieving the promised from the very first time, especially if only one layer is applied, and the eyelashes are naturally thin and short. However, if you "work hard" and apply several layers, then the cilia will undoubtedly acquire the desired effect "Length and fluffiness".
Volume from the very first application can be obtained on long and thick eyelashes... But the same “creaminess” can stick the hairs together, so you need to apply mascara with neat zigzag movements, which will help to separate the cilia from each other immediately during dyeing.
As a distinctive feature, it can be called the fact that dyed "Miss Hippie" eyelashes remain soft and do not break in case of accidental contact with foreign objects.
Despite the "promising" annotation, which says that with the help of Mega Volume Miss Hippie from L`Oreal Paris, which has a "revolutionary megapluffy brush", you can "instantly create a daring hippie-style fluffy volume", this is, by and large, not quite corresponds to reality.
The brush, which has a completely regular shape, and the smooth texture of the mascara itself lengthen the eyelashes well, giving expressiveness to the eyeslike almost any mascara does. Therefore, Miss Hippie Mega Volume is best used in the summer when the make-up is “lightened”.
By the way, this mascara is not very suitable for creating "hippie" "smokey-eyes", where it is required to create a "fan" effect with the same "increased fluffiness". But for owners of thick and long eyelashes, this mascara is good in the sense that it perfectly paints over the faded ends, gives a deep black color to light eyelashes and at the same time holds well enough and for a long time without crumbling on the lower eyelids or cheeks.
It can also be noted that "Miss Hippie" won't curl your eyelashes - It will not work with a straight brush, so if you want to bend them and thereby give them more volume, you should first use a curling iron.
Those who decide to apply the second layer of mascara can do it immediately after applying the first one - it dries instantly, without requiring additional time to "consolidate the effect", which is undoubtedly very convenient, especially in the morning when you are in a hurry to work or school.
Advantages and disadvantages of mascara
To give a clear idea of Miss Hippie's "Loreal" mascara, based on the reviews about it, it is best to highlight separately its advantages and disadvantages.
So, the advantages that most buyers noted:
- quite an acceptable price for a branded product;
- a bright bottle of stylish design;
- a comfortable shortened brush with soft "shaggy" bristles of different lengths, which stains the hairs in one motion;
- good rubber limiter for the amount of mascara;
- smooth creamy texture of the mascara itself;
- rich black color;
- lack of a "chemical" smell;
- mascara applied in the morning does not crumble throughout the day;
- easy to wash off;
- hypoallergenic.
The disadvantages include those manifested in some:
- the effect of stuck eyelashes;
- lumps and pellets after 2-3 layers;
- lack of eyelash curling effect.
As you can see, there are still much less disadvantages than advantages. In addition, it should be noted that the shortcomings that are written about in the reviews of Miss Hippie's Loreal carcasses did not appear in all of her customers, but it turned out, in principle, impossible to identify what caused their occurrence.
Therefore, it is impossible to declare firmly and with confidence that these shortcomings really exist or are completely absent.
What mascara is suitable for what type of appearance
The advantages of Miss Hippie's Loreal mascara are obvious, you just need to use them correctly. For example, it is not recommended to purchase it for the owners of rare, short and straight, looking down eyelashes, since it will not be possible to achieve either length, density, or curl with the help of its application.
But mascara with a high wax content or one that contains villi is perfect in this case: it will make the cilia thicker, visually adding volume to them, increase their length, and gently bend the extended tips upwards. The result will be simply stunning.
Girls and ladies who have light, rather long curled eyelashes, Mascara "Loreal" Miss Hippie, as they say in the reviews, will help to accurately paint over them, giving deep black color without "gaps" almost from the very first overlay. The second layer may not be needed, but if the cilia are thin, the procedure can be repeated - the hairs will become much thicker, therefore, they will not seem so rare.

For those who have long and thick eyelashes, mascara from LʻOréal "Mega volume Miss Hippie" is also suitable, you just need to apply it in one layer: this will be enough to even out the color along the entire length (for example, paint over the burnt out ends), give them an anthracite "gloss".
Makeup options with Mascara "Loreal" Miss Hippie
The best makeup option with Miss Hippie's Loreal mascara, based on the reviews on it, will be summer: light shadows, thin eyeliner, slightly retouched eyebrows and one layer of mascara on the eyelashes. A gentle look will be complemented by pastel blush. You don't need to apply a make-up base so that the skin of your face doesn’t overpower in the heat and “breathes” more.
You can use "Miss Hippie" in the cold season with everyday low-key makeupwhen the situation requires "restraint": in an office, a trading floor, an educational institution, etc. Discreet, but emphasized with smooth black mascara, eyelashes will make a slight accent on the eyes, unobtrusively emphasize them, turning a faded "moth", albeit modest, but still butterfly.
But if you need a bright make-up, then you can apply not one, but a couple of layers of "Miss Hippie" - and in this form, you can safely go to the theater, to a movie premiere, to a cafe or restaurant, to a party with friends.
If you need a fancy makeup (for example, for Halloween, role-playing corporate) or its runway version, then this mascara is unlikely to be suitable for creating a catchy image with an emphasis on the eyes, since the obvious "fan" effect of false eyelashes with Miss Hippie's Loreal mascara, as written in the reviews, it will be difficult to achieve. Although this mascara is quite suitable for tinting your own eyelashes under false, to even out both in color.
But when this mascara really comes into place, it’s when making up television employeesworking in the frame, where eyes with "fans" are not welcome: "Miss Hippy»Clearly identifies eyelashes, highlighting them with color, without weighing down the look. It won't flow under studio lights, or crumble during long talk shows. If necessary, you can quickly "remove" it, for example, to apply a new make-up.
Mascara "Loreal" Miss HippieDespite the conflicting reviews, it is quite a worthy product that can find fans among a wide variety of consumer categories.
Affordable price allows you to purchase it as an additional option to an existing cosmetic product: it will allow you to quickly create a "modest and restrained" image, if necessary, while painting the hairs with high quality.
Instant drying of mascara - another priority quality of it, which can help out in the most unforeseen situation, when there is practically no time for tinting eyelashes. As mentioned above, Miss Hippie's Loreal mascara can be applied in a double or even triple layer with just two or three strokes of the brush, instantly transforming in the most magical way. A fairy tale, and more!
It remains a mystery, what does “hippie” have to do with it? ..
I am a makeup artist and stylist. By the nature of my work, I am used to using only high quality professional cosmetics. But one of my clients once said that she did not like my mascara and offered to make up her eyelashes with the one that was in her cosmetic bag.
It turned out to be Loreal Miss Hippie mascara. I'll say right away: I expected more from a branded thing, but if you focus in your judgments on the price, then yes, undoubtedly, it is worth it.
Lays down smoothly, paints well with just one stroke of the brush, does not stink. And since the client has long enough eyelashes, she doesn't need their extra "furry". So Miss Hippie, in her case, is what you need!
Of course, I'm not a makeup artist, but I understand something in the cosmetic world.
I looked at the reviews and decided to write my impressions.
I got L'Oreal - Miss Hippie mascara absolutely by accident: already at work, before leaving for an interview, I discovered that I had forgotten my makeup bag at home, and I had to run to the nearest boutique. Money was scarce, but - lo and behold! - there was a good discount on this mascara!
I bought it and put on makeup. And what is interesting: practically in a couple of minutes “I became a man”.
That's what it means to put on your eyes! While waving with a brush (by the way, very convenient, small, compact), I never touched my eyelids, and my eyelashes are short, however, well bent up by nature, so I never twist them.
And the eyes didn't need any shadows or eyeliners after that! Good mascara, I advise.
