Maybelline Mascara Review: #6 of 7: Mega Plush Mascara

Today I am reviewing Maybelline Mega Plush mascara. Maybelline does test on animals, so be aware of that. I bought this for $7.49 at CVS, which is expensive.


The packaging is really cute with a teal bottle and cap. The wand is more of a brush than having the little prickly plastic points. I feel like this mascara doesn't do anything for my lashes. It just colors them.

Ingredients:
Not shown.

NOTW - Nails of the Week #1

I painted my nails on Monday. I used Essie Sugar Daddy. It's just a light pink that looks good on everyone. I work with boxes most of the time, so I have to have a light color.
Here's what it looks like on the nails.
