Hi everyone!

I know I haven't done any makeup reviews in a while but that's because I haven't really been trying any new makeup products but I did need to get a new mascara so I picked up the Maybelline Falsies Flared mascara in waterproof ($6).

At first, I was sceptical about getting this mascara since the regular Falsies didn't work well for me and it made my eye itch but I think they're TWO completely different mascaras!

The brush is still that sort of "spoon shaped" brush but the brush starts off short in the front and gets longer in the back to give your lashes that FLARED look (hence the name). The formula is a bit more dry (I do have the water proof version) but my friend who has the regular formula Falsies Flared mascara says that it's still a dry formula. 

I found the original Falsies mascara to be SUPER wet. I've had that one for almost one year and it's still very wet!

On the first day of wearing the Flared mascara, it went on really nicely and I didn't get ANY clumps. On the original Falsies, I got soooooo many clumps and smudges. 

One thing about the Flared mascara is that if you want to add more coats, don't wait for your lashes to dry. If you wait and add more, it'll get REALLY clumpy. 

At the end of the day, I had no smudges AT ALL and no flakes. But after the first day, the rest of the days, I had some flakes because the formula is pretty dry. 

Now for the pictures of my lashes, I couldn't use my DSLR because I have shakey hands and I couldn't get a clean shot of my lashes and when I used the flash, I looked like I was high. Also, my DSLR didn't show the actual look of the lashes so I'm using my phone camera for the pictures. I'm very sorry!

Loves:

- NO SMUDGES!

- I loooooooooooooooove the brush!

- Holds curls all day

- Waterproof! 

- Gives a great finish to my lashes!

- Cute packaging :3

- Gives great volume and length to my shit lashes

Not-so-likes:

- Flakes because of the dry formula

- VERY hard to remove (my waterproof Lash Stiletto is easier to remove)

- Makes my lashes feel VERY brittle

- Hard to apply on the bottom lashes

In conclusion (lol what is this, an English essay?), I still like this mascara! I'm gonna use this up until it expires of course. I like this a lot more than my Lash Stiletto mascara which has been what I've been using the past year. If you didn't like the original Falsies, give the Falsies Flared a try! In my opinion, it's a LOT better! If you have any other mascara recommendations, please leave them in the comments! I'm always up for trying new mascaras.

But before I leave, thank you so much to Jordan from Boho Vanity for sharing my blog on her blog! It means a lot to me. c': If you haven't checked her blog, please visit her blog! It was one of the first blogs I've ever read and will always be one of my favourites! And my friend, Sam (Color Crush), was featured there too! :D

Hope you enjoyed this review! Have a great Thanksgiving week!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a great start in the week. ^^

I haven't done a haul in a while so here's a collective haul of things I got in the past two weeks. It's not a lot of stuff since I'm trying to save money for a new laptop (possibly a Macbook Air). If you guys are into computer and tech stuff, can you guys recommend me a good laptop? I don't care if it's a PC or Mac. Just want a decent laptop for a good price. ^^ Thanks!

I got this sweater off of Amazon because I saw Jenn (clothesencounters) wearing it and I've been wanting a cat sweater for a while! I got it in a medium which is TOO big for me so I'm hoping it shrunk a little in the laundry. :/

I got these floral leggings from Pacsun for $20 (overpriced but eh, I couldn't find any other floral leggings). I'm usually against it when girls wear leggings as pants but when I tried this on, I understand why girls just wear leggings for pants! 

They're so comfy and makes my flat ass look a bit bigger. ^^ I would still wear a long shirt or something to cover my bum.

Is this not the cutest little makeup bag ever??? I got this on sale for $5 at my local Japanese goods store. 

They had a lot of other animals and you guys know how obsessed I am with tigers but the tiger bag wasn't that cute so I just got the lion one.

I've been eyeing this bag at H&M for a while! And they finally had it on sale. A lot of the H&M bags were $20, even the $40 ones! I also wanted to get this really pretty white bag that has studs on it but my mom said that it would get dirty easily..

(Asian mothers....)

I know I said I wasn't going to buy anymore makeup but I have a good (not really) excuse! 

I needed a new mascara since the one I'm using right now isn't that great and starting to dry out and I wanted to try some new mascaras. You all know how much I hate the original Falsies mascara but I heard a lot of good things about the Falsies FLARED one so I'll do a review on it once I'm done trying it out.

And the Ecotools Retractable Kabuki brush was a gift from a friend. I sadly dropped the cap of the brush in the river. :( But it's soooooo soft! I carry this all the time in my bag!

So that's all I really got the past few weeks. Hope you enjoyed this haul!

I'll be doing a review on the new mascara I got next week so look out for that. :)

I practically live in my beanie and camo jacket in the fall time.
I wish I had someone to take pictures for me! I want to have those outfit pictures like those people on Lookbook.nu.

If you're wondering what I'm wearing on my lips, I have a dark burgundy lip liner on from NYX but I took it off since it was drying my lips out. I'm gonna try to go to MAC for the first time to get the Media lipstick.

I have a makeup collection video on my Youtube channel so go check that out if you want to see my makeup collection. :)
