What's In My Bag?!?

Happy Hump Day y'all!!!

Is it just me or does this seem like the LONGEST WEEK EVER?!? I think I'm just looking forward to the weekend so I can do some "Spring" cleaning. Which really means going through my closet and taking things out to put in a garage sale. Plus it's daylight savings time so we get to see the sunshine a little longer each day! Who doesn't love that? :)

 

OK...enough rambling let's get this post started. I've always LOVED seeing other peoples YouTube videos on this topic. I just think it's so cool to see what other women carry in their purse and if you're ANYTHING like me your purse can never be big enough and it always ends up full! I hope you guys enjoy this be sure to let me know what you think.

 

I just recently purchased this purse. I had fallen in LOVE with it the second I saw it in LollyDolly128s "What's in my bag" video about a month ago but they never had the color "Luggage" in stock at my Dillard's but one day I went in to check and they had this one and I loved it just as much.

 

This is the Michael Kors Large Hamilton Saffiano Tote in the color Navy. I'm extremely happy with this purchase I like the fact that it's "Saffiano" leather because it makes it soooo much more durable than the soft leather tote. I have a feeling it will hold it's shape a lot better too. Here's the link to check out all the gorgeous Michael Kors collection.

Now on to all the goodies in my purse. :)

 

Here's a quick peek inside...as you can see it's pretty big. It has 4 inside pockets and 1 large zipper pocket on the side.

 

When I purchased the purse I also fell in love with the Michael Kors Large Pyramid-Stud Zip Clutch in Navy. I wouldn't normally have spent this much money but I was needing a new wallet and this was the perfect solution. It has credit card slots in it but it also has a strap so if I just need to run in somewhere really quick I can pull this out of my bag and not have to worry about carrying around a heavy purse. Also in my purse I carry my Ray-Ban Clubmaster glasses, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (which smells amazing BTW) and that polka dot bag is FULL of lip products. I'm not going to bust them all out for this post but I do have a few that I use more than others and they are pictured...they are my Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in "New Lover", Yves Saint Laurent Sheer Candy Glossy Balm Crystal Color in #8 Iced Plum and my favorite lip product at the moment from MAC Cosmetics is my Lipglass from the Archie's Girls collection in "Summer Sweetheart".

 

The final things that I'm going to show you are what I feel to be the most important. Without these things I couldn't stay very "fresh" lol! I carry my tweezers because you never know when you may find a stray eyebrow hair. My boyfriends mom gave these to me in my Christmas goody bag and I believe they are from Avon. I also carry fingernail clippers because sometimes when I get home at night I'm too tired to clip them. Haha! I also carry Q-Tips, Kleenex and Wet Ones which have all come in handy at some point. I LOVE those Breath Savers 3hr mints because they aren't overpowering like Altoids...those things make me cry every single time. The little striped square you see if a little mirror from Victoria's Secret. I feel that you ALWAYS need a mirror in your bag! And last but certainly NOT least is my Dove Clinical Protection Anti-Perspirant in the scent "original clean" I swear by this stuff guys! I feel like I have searched high and low to find a deodorant that works for me. I always ended up feeling gross throughout the day until I found this stuff. It's a little pricey but it is totally worth it because it smells wonderful and does its job!

 

So that's it y'all I hope you enjoyed this little look into my "Hermione" bag as some people call it. :) I haven't had this purse that long so I'm sure there will be more things crammed in it pretty soon. I think the next blog post I do will be a complete lipstick/lip gloss collection. Would y'all be interested in seeing something like that? Let me know!

 

Have a wonderful rest of your week!

A Quick Update...

Hi y'all!

 

I know I've been missing in action for a little while and I'm so sorry. I wanted to take a minute and explain why.

 

Life has just been a little hectic lately. I've had to wait for some space in our house to free up so that I can create a filming/photo taking area and that has taken longer than I thought but now we're on track to getting that space created. I'm so excited to get it all set up so that I can start filming tutorials, haul videos and giveaways.

 

I've made some purchases in the last month that I will probably do a post/video on here in the next week. I was really happy to pick up one of the Urban Decay "Theodora" palettes so hopefully I can do a fun tutorial with that. I've also been trying out several foundations and I'll be giving a review on what has worked best for my super dry skin!

 

Again I want to apologize for slacking on the posts. I'm going to start creating my new fun makeup space this afternoon and hopefully have some fun stuff up within the next couple of days.

 

   

XOXO,

My Thoughts On: Urban Decay Naked Basics

Good morning y'all! I'm so excited to be doing this post. When I first heard about this palette I thought to myself...YAY! An Urban Decay set with everyday matte colors? Sign me up! Of course I had to wait a little longer than I would have liked to because they were selling like hot cakes around here. But I finally snagged one yesterday and I cannot wait to show you.

 

Here it is!

 

As you can see the box is very "basic". :)

 

I was surprised by how small it was. It can easy be thrown in your purse or even in your pocket! I have really small hands and I have no problem holding onto it while I apply my eyeshadow like I do with my Urban Decay Naked palette.

 

Here you can see how small it really is. I've placed it beside an iPhone 5.

I do have one small gripe about the packaging. It's not really that big of a deal but if you've just gone out and had a fresh mani done you should be careful when you open it. I do find that I have to use my fingernails but maybe with more use it will loosen up a little.

 

Ok...here comes the fun part. Colors!

 

 

Urban Decay describes the palette as...

 

"Our first MATTE palette, featuring six gorgeously Naked neutrals to build on or wear alone—including four never-before-seen shades."

 

I agree with them except there is one shade that is slightly shimmery. It's called Venus. It's a gorgeous color though and can be used as a highlighter shade. I think they made a great choice including it in palette. Because you can literally create any look with these shadows for day or night.

 

Here's a better view of the shadows

 

I've swatched them on my arm to show you the color pay off. Keep in mind I have extremely fair skin so they may not look the same on you.

(Left to Right: Venus, Foxy, Walk of Shame, Naked 2, Faint, Crave)

 

Foxy and W.O.S (walk of shame) seem to almost disappear on my skin but these are totally buildable and not to mention my eyelids are not nearly as pale especially with primer. :)

 

In my personal opinion I think this is a great addition to any girls make-up collection. You can do so many day and night looks with this and it's the perfect size to take with you anywhere. Price wise I think it's fair except it doesn't come with a brush like the other Naked palettes ($27 at Ulta, Sephora, Urban Decay website) but when you get down to it, it's a wonderful product and well worth the money.

 

I hope that this review has helped you out. If you've purchased it let me know what your opinion is on it. What your favorite shades are. If you're on the fence about it feel free to ask me any questions. Also let me know which shades you'd like to see together in a tutorial.  

If you want to purchase the palette i've included a link for you.

A Little Bit About Me.

Hi everyone! I wanted to take a minute and tell y'all a little bit about me. My name is Sunnie I'm 24, I live in Texas and I've always had a passion for make-up. It's just amazing to me. It can transform you into someone else completely or if you like it can just accentuate the beauty you already have.

 

On this blog I plan to give you an honest opinion on beauty products. Both high end and drugstore. I firmly believe that price does not matter when it comes to cosmetics. Some of my very favorite eyeshadows are from Walgreens. I also plan to do some tutorials along with other fun videos such as "What's in my Purse" and haul videos. I really hope that some of my opinions can help you. :)

 

Here are a couple of looks I've done...

 

This is the look i'm wearing today. I opted to not use any eyeshadow and just do a dramatic lip. This is the color "Retro" by MAC it's a dark color but still very wearable for day to day use. Just be sure to use Chapstick underneath because it can be drying.

 

This was a very FUN look for me to do. It was my 2012 Halloween make-up. I went as a "doll". I really freaked a lot of people out. This just goes to show you how make-up can totally transform you.

 

I really hope that you guys enjoy this blog I can't wait to get it up and running full speed! Please check back for updates and videos.

 

Unitl next time!

 



XOXO,
