It's So Big Volumizing Mascara Review

I received this mascara in my September Ipsy bag, and I have used it and want to share my thoughts with you! This mascara is by Elizabeth Mott. I have never heard of her before, so I was anxious to try her mascara.

This mascara is a regular spooly wand. This mascara separates my lashes well, and it doesn't clump or flake. I also didn't notice the "raccoon eye" look at the end of the day like I do with some mascaras. This mascara didn't make my lashes hard or crunchy. I did like the brush, it was just big enough to catch all of the lashes, but thin enough to get in the inner corners.

Although there were a few things I liked about this mascara, there were some things I didn't like. It is a wetter formula, and if you aren't careful some mascara can remain on the rim of the tube. (A pet peeve of mine!) One thing I noticed about this mascara is that for my preference, it isn't dark enough. I usually buy my mascara in very black or blackest black, and this is just black. I prefer the darker mascara, but it is a matter of preference. Although this mascara said it was volumizing, I feel that it added no extra volume to my lashes. :( To me, this mascara will be great for running small errands, or wearing around the house.

Would I purchase this mascara? No. I feel like I can get better mascara at the drugstore that will give me voluminous lashes. However, I say this with all mascaras, it is subjective. What one person hates, you make like.

What are your thoughts on this mascara? I'd love to hear from you! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you thought about this mascara!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco.

Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii.

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
