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. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. 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...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
