What's in my bag?!!

Alexander Wang Rocco Dupe from Little Black Bag (Purchased about 7 months ago) 

I love that it is crossbody! It is also HUGE. And I pretty much wear this everywhere, everyday. 

I am ALLLLLL about lip products.  I think a bright lip or even just your classic daytime lip color is CRUCIAL. It can instantly brighten your face, or prep you for an unexpected evening out. I like L'oreal Lip Caresses and their lip stains from time to time.  Revlon Creme lippies are my holy grail lipsticks.  Best drug store formula out there (in my opinion). 

Totally random. Rihanna concert ticket stub (she's AMAZING), got Milk Duds as a prize at work :/ and my ulitmate favorite lip products Maybelline and Covergirl (see March Favorites post) 

Current Obsession: Sweet and Flirty

I typically do not like Victorias Secret scents. I find them to smell too "fake" and "alcoholly". Oh and cheap too. But this scent has been kind of all over YouTube so I thought I would see what all the fuss is about.

This stuff smells absolutely amazzzzinnnggg. I am obsessed. I want everything I own to smell like this. It reminds me of lychee. But it's described as sugar berry and grapefruit. Whatever. It's lovely. It wears pretty well, doesn't have the alcohol smell, and lasts fairly long. I have to re spritz by lunch time.
I'm not mad about that though. This will probably be my signature scent until I decide otherwise :)

I got the travel size lotion and spray. $8 Each. Will go back to purchase full size :)

What's on my phone?!

Third time seeing Russell Peters here in Seattle! Get's better every time! Happy Early Birthday Prezzy :)

Breakfast of Champions. Coffee in my favorite mug and QFC donut holes are the absolute BEST. 

I went to a wedding recently and my legs are as pale as can be.  Mini Review: This stuff makes you look like you're wearing nylons. Its pretty cool, but really weird too.  It definitely hides your imperfections- leg foundation if you will. I opted for "Light" because that't pale I am. Sigh. It dries fairly quickly and when it does, it won't rub off on clothes or smear (how embarassing!) It was pretty warm that day, so even though I got sweaty, this stay put! I'd say thumbs up. 

Got this at Costco. It's a good way to ease into the whole Quinoa craze.  I like to boil my water and add a tablespoon of coconut oil.

March FAVES

I am a little late... but oh well!!!!

Top to Bottom swatches: L'oreal Color Riche Caresse Stick in Rose Taffeta, Maybelline Color Sensational Lipgloss in Mirrored Mauve, CoverGirl Shadow Blast in Beige Blaze

I love wearing Mirrored Mauve on top of Rose Taffeta. It is my go-to everyday work look.  I don't wear any eye make up (except for a wash of the CoverGirl Shadow Blast on my lids to brighten things up) so I like to add a pop of color on my lips to "wake" my face up.

The Maybelline Color Sensational Lipglosses are absolutely AMAZING.  They aren't sticky, have great wear time, and don't wear off in a gross way.  They gloss my go away after a while, but the color is still there, so you are left with a nice stain.  It's very moisturizing and does not dry out your lips as the day goes on.  I have these in a variety of colors, but Mirrored Mauve is definitely my favorite.

CoverGirl Shadow Blast in Beige Blaze is like a dupe for MAC's Paint Pot in Bare Study. I wouldn't recommend it as a base, as it will definitely suck for that purpose.  But if you are going for a natural, effortless shimmer on the eye lids or even maybe a highlight- this is perfect.  I've been wearing it literally everyday.

Dream Cream $26.95

This stuff has worked wonders for my skin and my extremely dry hands.  I have recently repurchased this.  I love how quickly this absorbs into my skin.  The smell is not to like OMGDELICIOUSZZZ!! but it's tolerable, OK for your night time routine.  It has smoothed out my "chicken skin" on my legs and my skin just feels really luxurious.  I'm not crazy about the fact that Lush boasts that their products are "natural" or whatever, but this lotion does have parabens in it.  Granted, its at the bottom of the list. Still not a deal breaker though.  I'm not extremely happy I have to pay almost 30 dollars for this thing, but I like what it does, and I can't seem to go back to drug store body lotions.

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Powder
Loved this foundation and powder in March. Used it everyday since I bought the duo.  Loved how it just evened out my skin tone, and perfect for my dry skin.  BEST thing about it is it didn't break me out. I usually have pretty good luck with Revlon foundations.  I loved Photoready foundation and the powder.  Never was a fan of the ColorStay though.  My face tends to go from REAAAAALLLLLLY dry to combo/oily.   I think it just depends on the weather, and time of the month.  So some days, this foundation really worked for me when my skin was on the dry side.  Recently, my skin has been needing more oil control so I've been opting for a different foundation (will be in my April favorites so stay tuned!)



Maybelline FitMe Blush: Medium Nude
I've worn this blush like everyday since I've purchased it. You have to be careful where you buy it though. The first time I bought it, I thought it was crap because it was "dry" if that makes any sense? Like, it wasn't pigmented and when you swatched it, there was barely any product.  I was upset because I really liked the color, but the product just wasn't getting on the my brush. I figured, maybe it was just old. So I repurchased a second one and it was amazing.  It was nothing like the first on that I bought, so it was just a one-off.  I love how it just gives off an inner glow.  It gives a natural highlight when you apply it. Beautiful and CHEAP!

Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer: Reserve Your Cabana
This is more of a highlight rather than a bronzer.  I use it as a highlighter and it's beautiful.  Don't drop it though, it will for sure break.  I've already broken 2 :( But luckily, at 3 bucks a pop, I don't feel so bad. I think its better than MAC MSF's bc its not glittery and its way smoother. I feel like its just a better product for what it does and especially for the price!

Nivea Lip Butter: Vanilla and Macadamia Kiss
Smells and tastes delicious.  Feels really luxurious on my lips.  I use this at night time and I wake up to plump, soft lips in the morning time. Preps my lips for my daily lip colors.  I hate it when you wear lip products and your lips look "line-y" or wrinkly.  Not cute.  This stuff helps! :-*

Anyway, that's all for now!  Can't wait to share April Favorites! There's a ton! :)
