What's In My Bag?

I am a nosey person, by nature. I love seeing what other girls carry in their purse. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to go through my mom's purse and organize it. So...today, I'll show you what's in my bag!

First, this is my bag. I recently got it at Dillard's and I love it! It's by Kate Landry. I normally carry HUGE bags, and while this one is still big it's on the smaller side for me. However, I am loving how organized it stays on the inside. So much better than carrying one of my ginormous bags where everything just falls to the bottom.

Now, for what's inside. I didn't add to or take anything out. This was what was in it when I cleaned it out.

From left to right, top to bottom:

*My makeup bag from Gap (if you want to see what's inside of it, go here)
*pack of tissues. Yes, they are Charlie Brown tissues.
*a movie that I need to return to Redbox (it was the movie Tangled, if you're curious)
*retractable brush. I only use it for the mirror
*car, apartment, mailbox keys
*Nivea lip balm
*My beloved Kate Spade wallet
*Vera Bradley checkbook cover and checkbook. (I write 12 checks a year, for rent. That's it)
*My beautiful Rosary
*hand sanitizer
*My phone (a Droid X. Tried the iPhone for a day and sent it back. I am a loyal Droid girl)
*Ibuprofen from Walgreens
*sunglasses (generics from the mall kiosk. After I broke 2, yes 2, pair of Chanels I swore off expensive sunnies. Never, ever again. I still get teary when I think about it).
*A Z-pak for this stupid sinus infection that refuses to go away
*Trident gum
*my police badge (yes, it's real)

And that's it!
Have a beautiful day!

March Favorites!

Sorry for the lag in posts, I was out of town and have been a bit busy (and, Blogger has been a little biatch about photo uploads lately, and I've been trying for 3 days to upload these pictures Ugh!). I'm back with my March favorites.

First up, Embryolisse 24 Hour Miracle Cream. This is a great moisturizer! I first heard about it from my Youtube obsession, Pixiwoo. Sam uses it, and applies it with her foundation brush. Then, she applies her foundation with the same brush. It gives a very dewy finish and I am really, really enjoying it. I've already ordered another tube, so I don't run out. This Studio Tools foundation brush from Target is next. I am loving it!! It has a large brush head on it, so it covers a lot of area at once. It is super soft and gives a beautiful non-streaky finish. It was $6. Maybelline Fit Me foundation (color 120). This is a medium coverage concealer that is very dewy. I hate matte foundations and this is definitely not matte. I would say this is better for dry/combo skin. It is not very long lasting, maybe 6 hours? So, I add a few drops of my Rimmel Lasting Finish to it and it stays on until I take it off. E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whip in Spotlight. People, you NEED this! It is $1, you can get it at Target or at eyeslipsface.com and it is seriously my new secret weapon (not so secret anymore, though). I was at a wedding last weekend and I was complimented on my "glowing skin" no less than 10 times. I owe it all to this little tube of Awesome Sauce! I apply it to the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose, over my cupid's bow.

E.L.F. 100 Color Eyeshadow Palette. Creamy, pigmented, brights, shimmers, mattes, glitters. This palette has it all! Not sure if it's available online any longer, as it was limited edition, but if you can find it, it's worth the $10. MAC Luxure Lipgelee. As the wonderful Sam Schuerman (if you don't watch her channel, you are missing out! She is FABULOUS!!) says "it's like Diamonds for your lips". It totally is! One of my favorite lipglosses ever. It is from the Cham-Pale Collection and may still be available online. Bonus: Look at this little beauty that I found at Rite-Aid today! I was skeptical, because it was $4. It is beautiful on, gives such a pretty flush! They have them in bronzers as well, but since I have more bronzers than my friend George Hamilton, I went for the blush. Love! What have you been using and loving lately? Have a beautiful day! xoxo
