My Latest Purchase – West 57th Crossbody

 

West 57th Crossbody Brown

 

I blogged about this West 57th Schoolbag crossbody a while back about how Kylie Jenner was spotted wearing it too, (here is the post). I decided to purchase it myself because every time I went to the store, it always attracted my attention. Obviously, it had to be mine. As you can see, I got it in tan, but there are so many color variations of that bag (and they change with the seasons) that it was really hard to make the decision. In the end, I ended up with the tan (otter) but at the moment you can choose from pink, blue, white, brown, red and even orange. There are also non solid variations of this bag too and the latest print that came out is Sea Salt M, beautiful floral bag perfect for Spring. Check other prints and colors here.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick and Too Faced Totally Obsessed Set

Who doesn’t like free stuff? This Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick was exactly that. I received it at Nordstrom with a coupon that came in the mail. I thought it would be just a sample size, but to my surprise, I received the full size foundation in warm ivory! Hey, $46 in my pocket! Even for the money, this foundation is worth the prize! It’s big and for someone who applies makeup couple times a week, it will last a long time. I’ve had a chance to use it once so far and I have to tell you, it’s so easy to use, it blends in easily and makes you look like you have nothing on. After all it’s a nude foundation that creates a natural look. No mask on your face whatsoever!

I purchased the Two Faced Totally Obsessed Set because I ran out of the majority of things that were included in this set: the face primer, eye primer, mascara and bronzer. The set also includes the gloss, but the four items I mentioned earlier were the things I really needed, so this set was perfect for me. So far, I’ve had a chance to try the bronzer, which smells like chocolate, which I absolutely love! It’s a matte bronzer, so nothing shiny, just something for a flawless finish. You can actually purchase the full size bronzer here. As for the set, it’s currently out of stock, but keep an eye out as I’m sure it will be back in stock soon. In the meantime here is a list of the rest of the full size items included in this set:

Better Than Sex Mascara

Hangover Replenishing Face Primer

Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick

Shadow Insurance Eye Primer

Three Beauty Samples I’ve Recently Tested

Beauty Samples

 

I received a lot of beauty samples, not only through my Sephora Play subscription, but also from just ordering a lot from Sephora. I feel like I could easily live on samples instead of buying a full product, because I have so many face cream samples, mini lipsticks and so on. Samples are great because you can try them out and decide if you like a product or not without buying the actual product. There are many beauty products I discovered this way and then decided to buy a full product because of it. Here are three sample sizes products that are exactly the case. I haven’t bought the full size products of them just yet, but I love them so much, I probably will when they run out.

 

GlamGlow The YOUTHMUD™ Tinglexfoliate Treatment
 

The GlamGlow The YOUTHMUD™ Tinglexfoliate Treatment is a mask that works wonders on you. I have to admit I don’t like the tingly, almost burning sensation that it gives when you apply it, but what your skin will feel after is well worth the temporary annoyance. It’s a black mask so mind you, you will look like you just applied mud on your face. Perfect mask for brighter skin with less visible pores.

 

Tarte Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser

 

The Tarte Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser is my favorite. I haven’t had anything like that before.  You apply it on your wet face like you would apply a mask and then clean your face massaging it. Your skin feels tight, fresh and brighter with just one wash. Also, it can work as a mask, you just need to apply it and clean your face after 10 minutes. A perfect two in one product.

 
Tata Harper Illuminating Eye Creme
 

The Tata Harper Illuminating Eye Creme is probably the most expensive eye cream I’ve used thanks to this amazing and pretty big size sample. This cream is enriched with diamond dust. Yes, you heard right. This makes your eye pop with that luminescence look. My eye area looks so bright after applying it, the effect of which I have not had with other eye cream brands. One of the most luxurious eye creams ever (in my opinion)!

I haven’t fallen in love with a dress for a long time, until this one. This dress is absolutely breathtaking. Love everything about it – the burgundy color, which you know I love, the floral print, the sheer chiffon sleeves and just overall bohemian look. Trust me, you’re going to be asked a lot about where you got this dress from when you wear it. What a perfect beauty to have for the Spring. Unfortunately, it’s still cool here, so I had to pair it with black tights and black booties, but it’s going to look as gorgeous when I wear it with sandals when it gets warmer outside. And this went perfectly with my red cross body bag. It is my go-to-bag as you probably already know, but it goes so well with so many different things. As you can tell, this went perfectly with the  dress! This dress is also available in blue and black and it’s only $14!

These boots are going nowhere. I remember wearing them in high school and I love them so much I had to get a pair even now. You probably saw me wearing them in many posts (fe. here). It’s nice to see that Gigi chose the same color I did. She’s wearing a different model than mine, just to clarify, but essentially it’s the same shoe. I chose this cherry color because of my fondness for burgundy and all the clothes I have in the color. I love how Gigi’s jacket goes perfectly with the pair. I have to say these boots are the most comfortable ever, perfect for in between weather and look cool on top of everything. Oh, and they are very affordable, no big splurge here!

I’ve seen them everywhere recently! On the street, in the stores, in the magazines! It’s not a coincidence then that they must be a new trend for this Spring. So I decided to gather them all up for you here. Off the shoulders, ruffles, blue and white stripes, mint, camouflage, florals and tassels – these are the trends you’re going to see a lot this Spring and even Summer! A lot of them mix too. For example, you’re going to see blue and white striped off-the-shoulder top or floral top with ruffles etc. So if you want to be trendy, take a look, choose your favorite trends and get some pieces you love the most so you can show your trendy side this Spring! My favorite trend is the blue and white stripes. For some reason, whenever I see something in the stores with this pattern, I’m drawn to it.

Spring was in the air today so I thought it would be appropriate to wear this floral skirt. I paired it up with the red top to match the red flowers on the skirt, but I thought it would also go with any mustard tops as well. On top of everything, I put on my denim jacket and a pair of booties to achieve this casual, yet chic girl-on-the-go look.

This red cross body bag was such a great buy for me. It matches so many of my outfits and I like how it’s small but still it’s wide enough to carry a lot of things that I need.
