FOTD#FAIL! Let's do What's in my Purse?!

Today I came home from a long day of work wanting to play around with some make up and come up with a cool look. Well... this is what happened....


 Ok so blog idea #2: Let's do a what's in my purse post! Those are always fun.
WARNING: Don't expect LV, Balenciaga or Prada 'round here girl!

GbyGUESS Xmas Present (I bought the keychain separately):

And here are her contents:

-GbyGUESS Black wallet (It's a little chanel-esque so yeah that's why I got it)
-VS and Shakira lotions (the Shakira one came on a set with the perfume as a Xmas present, nice scent)
-Baby lips by Maybelline (love this!)
-NYX lipgloss in Beige (a cult favorite)
-Daisy my Marc Jacobs (nice and fresh)
-RSVP pens in black and purple (just cause)
-BEST.GUM.EVER: Stride in Spearmint
-Keys
-MAC (tiny!) cosmetics bag.

Small rant about the MAC (Tiny!) cosmetics bag...
I bought this from allcosmeticswholesale and of couse silly me thought it was going to be as big as it appeared on the picure. Nevermind that they actually wrote the dimensions on the description right by the price. duh!

Proud cat lady couldn't help herself and not add a picture of this cuteness. Here is Lorelai.
This is her mom stop face:

All right, off I go to paint my nails. I am going to have a nice combo of Essie Lilscism on the ring fingers and Essie Lady Like on the rest.

Nice and Spring-y!

Outfit of the Baptism

I found this lovely dress at a tiny boutique in Little Tokyo (LA) last year. I was so excited when I saw it: It was the last one on my size, it was different,  it was cute, it came with a cute belt, it had pockets.  I asked the nice salesgirl if she brought all her merchandize from Japan and she said "no, I buy from Downtown LA" haha. Regardless, I love this dress and I always wear it with my F21 black leggins and by black suede Shoedazzle boots (bought last year).
So last Saturday was little Leah's (my boyfriend's sister's baby girl) baptism. It was a chilly and rainy day so I wore my Guess coat but forgot to take a picture of it.
On our way to the church, I wanted to take a picture of my boyfriend and he said he was going to count to 3 and after that I couldn't take pictures of him.

I got him on 3 fingers :)
And now for the cutest baby girl (and best behaved at the church): Leah aka LeeLee

The tiniest MAC haul

I have a new found love for MAC. After exploring other makeup brands at the well loved Sephora over the last few years, I have to say I get a lovely satisfaction feeling after doing a little retail therapy at the MAC counter. The latest addittions to my collection are Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium Plus and eyeliner in Teddy.

I absolutely love this powder. I've been using it every day since I got it. It gives you nice coverage without feeling too powdery (if you know what I mean). I've even used it on itself , with no liquid foundation underneth, and it made my skin look really nice. Now for the eye liner, I don't know if I love it yet. I have to say I've been reaching out a lot more for my Urban Decay brown eyeliner (the one that came in the NAKED pallet) than this one. It just isn't as intense as I would want it to be.

Off I go to night class!!

ta - ta!

Make Up Diary Tag

I saw this tag on Dainty Dollymix and thought it would be fun.

1. What time did you do your makeup today? At about 6:55AM - gotta be in my car by 7:25AM!
2. What’s the least expensive beauty item you used? My concealer: NYC stick concealer which is about $2 but does the trick!

3. What was the biggest problem you needed to correct? My skin, as usual. Let's just say it's waaayyy less than perferct.
4. Did you apply false eyelashes? I don't even know my name at 7am.. no I did not apply false lashes :p
5. Did you do anything while applying make-up? I told the cats (Marshmallow and Lorelai) to knock it off. They're morning cats apparently.
6. Biggest make-up mishap today? I don't think I had any. Yay me! :)
7. Did you have a makeup inspiration in mind? Yes, I watched one of Elle's (Allthatglitters21) Youtube vidoes the other day and she was wearing a bit of a cat eye liner and eyeshadow on the bottom lashes isntead of liner. I thought it looked cute.
8. What was the most time-consuming part of your makeup routine? My face. Between concealer, liquid foundation and powder to top it off... oh and don't forget to blend!
9. What part of your routine is the most fun? My lips. I used to be all about the eyeshadow but these days I find lips much more exciting (I just made myself giggle with that statement). I used a nude lipliner all over the lips and a NYX lipgloss on top.
10. What part of your make-up makes the biggest difference in the way you look? My blush and what I use for my eyes. But honestly, any make up that I put on makes a huge difference.

11. Neutral or colorful eyeshadow? 95% of the time neutrals. I do like to throw some color on the eyelids from time to time.

12. Liquid or mineral foundation? Liquid foundation. I find that it gives me way better coverage

13. Do you do your hair or make-up first? I do my make up firts. Don't know why.

14. Did you pack a make-up bag to take with you for the day? No, I never pack extra makeup unless I'm wearing a specific lip color that I want to reapply throughout the day.
15. When did you finish your make-up? I finished at about 7:10AM and was early for work today :)
