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.

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)

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.
