Mascara Monday: Maybelline the Falsies Volum Express Waterproof Mascara

Hello hello!
It is Monday again, which means I will be posting a review about a tube of mascara. How exciting is that huh?

Okay let's get started.
Today I am sharing my opinions about one of my favorite mascara: Maybelline the Falsies!
I got the shade in black drama and it is basically a black with more matte finish.
And this products claims to "lift and separate lashes" and also "instantly build up volume for the false lash look".

Review: YSL Rouge Volupté Silk Lipstick 使用报告：YSL迷魅唇膏

So I went to Costco the other day,
And found four shades of YSL Volupté Silk Lipstick on display there, and it was $26.99 each, which is $7 cheaper than retail stores!
I grabbed the two more natural shades in #3 ultimate beige and #13 peach passion.
大家好啊。话说有天我去costco发现那里居然有卖ysl的唇膏，虽然只有四个颜色但是只要26.99刀一支，比专柜便宜了7刀。所以我就收了两支颜色比较自然滴。是#3和#13。

Top 5 Drugstore Eyeshadows 最爱开价眼影

Hi all, I am sharing my favorite drugstore eyeshadows with you today.
大家好啊，今天来和大家分享我最爱的开价眼影。

As you all know, I am a sucker for natural colors. So the eyeshadows I am recommending here are mostly neutral colors that are perfect for everyday wear. And I recommended 4 palettes and 1 single eyeshadow from drugstore just because I think palettes have higher values.
我比较喜欢收集自然系的眼影，所以这里和大家分享的都是很适合每天使用的彩妆哦。我介绍了4个眼影盘和一个单个的眼影，因为觉得眼影盘性价比比较高哈哈。

Collective Haul+Mini Reviews: Drugstore.com & Flower Beauty by Drew Berrymore at Walmart 近期开价彩妆晒货

So I went a little crazy these days with all the coupons and discounts I have.
I did another haul of drugstore products.
I do feel a little guilty to spend more money but I am happy to say that everything I got this time is so pretty and worthwhile, thanks to the research I did beforehand lol.
最近总能看到好多打折啊优惠的，所以有点买疯了呵呵。不过我觉得这次买的东西都很值得~

First let's talk about drugstore.com,
I got some reward points there (you get 5% reward money and you can spend it on your later purchases), so I went ahead and did a little shopping.
先说说drugstore.com，
我因为在那个网上有积分（每次买的5%都会作为积分，可以在以后的购买中抵用哦），所以就挥霍了一下吼吼。

Mascara Monday: Fairy Drops Macara Volume and Curl Burst Waterproof Mascara

Hello my makeuplovers!
I was watching youtube the other day and I saw many youtubers doing the Mascara Monday videos, and I think this is a great idea.
So from now on, I will be posting a review about a mascara on every Monday.
And I would focus on how it improves my short and spare Asian lashes that are hidden under my monolids.

The first one I want to talk about is this waterproof mascara with a very cute purple tube from Fairy Drops, and it claims to add volume and hold curl.
I talked about it in my previous post called "Best Mascara for Monolids". If you would like to check that out too, I will link it right here. http://mushroomslittleworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/best-mascaras-for-monoliders.html

Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette vs TheBalm Nude 'Tude Palette

Hello there! 
As we all know, Urban Decay Naked Palette has been raved ever sinced it was launched.
I would say that it is totally worth the hype because I literally used every single color in this palette to create natural everyday looks, and that happens very rarely.

However, Naked 1 has its enemy now, and it is the Nude 'Tude palette from TheBalm.
I did a full review with swatches about this palette and here is the link, if you feel like checking it out.
http://mushroomslittleworld.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-balm-nude-tude-palette-review-and.html

In this blog post I will compare these two palette from its price, texture to shades.

Usefulness in everyday life	I can create a natural look using ONLY this palette	Lacking a color that I can use to highlight my brow bone	Naked 1
Flatteriness on different skintones	Works for skintones from light to medium dark, but looks the most flattery on skin with yellow undertone since its base color is purple	Works for skintones from light to medium dark, but looks more flattery on skin with pink undertone, especially for colors like selfish (cool taupe) and snobby (bright gold)	For me it is Naked 1

Sephora Haul/ DEAL ALERT: Great value set from Fresh

So I did another quite a lot of hauls lately...
And I'm gonna share them with you guys!

Let's talk about high end first,
So I went to Sephora the other day to buy the Soy Face Cleanser from Fresh because ever since I tried the little sample one that was given free at sephora, I could never forget about it!!! The texture is so much creamier than my Philosophy Purity, and it removes non-waterproof mascara and face makeup very thoroughly, and the best part is my face feel so soft this wash my face.
And the shop assistant there saw me checking out the Fresh products and asked me if I would like to check out their holiday sets.
Of course I said yes, and then she pull this little baby out from the back quite secretly...and I was blown away by this great deal.

The set sells for $65 ($123 value) and a generous amount of their best selling products.
