NEW DRUGSTORE MASCARAS: L'Oreal Miss Manga & Maybelline Pumped Up Collosal

Hey guys! I have a confession to tell you, I have a problem when it comes to mascaras. I have way too many for my own good (I will probably give some out before they go bad so someone can use them). Right when I need to save money, new collections come out. And you guys, I have been waiting for the Miss Manga mascara to come out forever! If you read manga like me, then it is a must have, you don't even care if it's going to be a crappy formula. I told my friend about it who only wears hardly any makeup about it and she said she needed it because of the name. But anyway, let's get onto the reviews!

L'Oreal Miss Manga: For packaging, the Miss Manga wins. It's super cute and totally towers over the Maybelline one. As for the forumula, I did see that it gave me more volume in my lashes. But the color was a little grey. It does a good job of separating and defining my lashes, but it can get clumpy if you're not careful. When I was looking at the display, I did not see a waterproof formula anywhere. Which is sad because if you know me, then you know that I only buy waterproof. But luckily, this did not smudge on me or flake off my lashes. But sadly, it does not hold a curl. If you like dry formulas, then you will really like this. It definitely builds up the thickness of your lashes and gives you more volume.

Maybelline Pumped Up Colossal: Okay, Maybelline has a ton of mascaras and it's hard to keep track of them all. But this one stands out a little more to me because it just gives the exact look I want for my lashes. As you can see in the picture, the color of the Maybelline mascara is more bold and noticeable. This is the brown color and it's still more bold than the L'Oreal one. The brush really defines your lashes and makes then stand out more. The formula is more on the wetter side. And guess what? It's waterproof! No smudges! It does not hold a curl for the entire day, but it does hold better than the L'Oreal.

Can you tell which one I like better? ;D I really wanted to like the L'Oreal Miss Manga, but I guess I just prefer wet mascaras to dry. See you next time! ^_^

Let's Catch Up: A Haul, Nose Piercing, & Update!

Hello everyone! It feels like I haven't actually talked to you guys in a while. For the last few posts, it's just been product reviews. That gets boring, so I have a little something different for you! I'll let you know all the things I've been picking up here and there and some things that happened recently. So sit back with a cup of coffee or tea because this is going to be a long one!;D

I've been trying to save money because I'm going to Boston in July to see my sister, so this haul is over a couple month's worth of shopping. So far, I've been pretty good about it. There are a lot more clothes than usual because I've been trying to get more into fashion. If you would like to see more fashion posts, let me know and I will be glad to do those!

Other than shopping, school is almost done! Yay! But that means finals. :/ There's been a ton of papers, projects, and presentations I've been preparing for. During study breaks I've been trying to work out. Having cute workout clothes really help motivate me, so maybe this haul has done me some good!

Summer is here and I am getting into self-tanning for the first time. Hopefully I won't turn orange! But I am a firm believer in SPF so fake tans are the only tans I'm ever going to have.

One thing that really seemed to shock people is that I got my nose pierced. I got it done about 2 weeks ago and I still really like it. It's a little hard to see in the picture but that's because it's really tiny. I'm planning on doing a post on my whole experience once it's all healed so I can give tips on the after care and the healing process. So if you're interested in that, keep your eyes peeled! I've always thought nose piercings looked great ever since middle school. Ever since I got it done, I feel like I don't have to wear as much makeup. It just looks better when your makeup is on the natural side.

So I am not going to be doing any more shopping for a long time. We'll see how I do. Hopefully I can have more self control and only buy the necesseties. See you guys next time! XD
