Out of the Box: Maybelline Falsies Push Up Angel Mascara

As someone who's always on the look out for new mascaras to try, the new addition to the Maybelline Falsies family was a must try. I'm already using the Falsies Push Up Drama mascara and have gotten great results, but I was really enticed by the brush of the Push Up Angel. The comb-style brush is similar to the Revlon Butterfly Effect mascara and Maybelline Lash Sensation mascara, both of which I've tried and loved.

The first thing I noticed was how skinny the brush was, even in comparison to the Lash Sensation and Butterfly. At first glance, it looks like the brush can hold a lot of product, which could cause some clumping during application. But the brush gave me an even application with very minimal clumping,  even after 2 coats! Watch my video review of this mascara below:

What do you think? Is this mascara worth trying to you? Or you've tried it, how did it perform for you? Comment below and let me know!

OOTD: Rey-Bounding

Disney bounding has become a trend amongst all Disney and fashion lovers alike. Naturally, when I'm headed to Disneyland, I try and let my fave Disney characters inspire my OOTD. Being a huge Star Wars fan, I wanted to put a little galactic feel into my outfit so I went with a Rey inspired outfit.

My YoDerm Experience

*Sponsored Post

I've often wondered if I had easier access of a dermatologist when I was suffering from the worst break out of my life, would I have spared myself the heartache of looking in the mirror and hating what I saw? Maybe I wouldn't have experienced all the name calling or feel need to constantly hide my face under a ton of makeup.

Usually, seeing a dermatologist required an appointment and probably cost a pretty penny if your insurance didn't cover it. But what if you could do so without an appointment and whether or not you had insurance, from the comfort of your own home?
