happy 4 year anniversary my darling BALENCIAGA

I gotta admit, It wasn't love at first sight, but it didn't take long for me to fall MADLY in love with you.....once you became mine, we were inseparable.
YES I am talking about my BALENCIAGA city bag.
I think my baby turned 4 this year and in honour of how amazing she has treated me I have decided to do a "what's in my purse?" post.
First I'd like to share my history with my dear purse. I've taken it with me around the world, well not really but enough places like L.A., Japan and even Mexico! It is the perfect size for almost any occasion and it has withstood unbearable heat, to blazing coldness and even rainfalls! It hasn't shown one bit of wear-and-tear! This purse is a survivor and it actually still looks pretty new to this day.......navy blue is just as royal as the day I got it. Ladies, I think EVERY girl should have a BALENCIAGA bag......it is durable, fashionable without it being too flashy or pretentious! It can be paired with a casual look or even a dressy one! This bag is why the word investment was made...well that's a bit extreme but still, it should at least be ONE of the reasons!

ANYWAYS! I could go on forever...it's the sales-associate in me........but back to the "what's inside my purse" tag! I think a girl's purse can say a great deal about them, that being said; here is ME<3

starting from the left:

• I-Pod NANO - life is one grand sweet song, so start the music!
• Prada Wallet - I gotta keep enough lettuce to support my shoe fetish <3
• Louie bus pass holder - to get from A to B
• Minimouse make-up pouch that has:
  
  
  shiseido compact powder foundation - amazing coverage without the cakiness~!
  YSL touche eclat - need I say more?
  MAC liquid last liner - it withstands hot yoga...no joke~!
  Dior Addict highshine lipstick - kiss of pink
  Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eyepencil in "stash" (a.k.a olive green) - Urban decay pencil liners are the best hands down! they last forever and come in such a wide range of colors!
  eye drops - grr dry contactsss
  bath and body works sanitizer - to keep the germies away
• 2012 new and improved Agenda - ya..my memory is not my strong suit, gotta jot dat sh$*t down!
• my small pencil case - to make the above happen.
• Jill Stuart Hand Cream - smelling delicious doesn't hurt ! 

thanks for reading! Now tell me what is in YOUR purse!

STAY! not Fade AWAY~!

a very frequent question I was asked throughout my make-up counter career was this:

HOW CAN I KEEP MY MAKE-UP STAYING ON LONGER?

the answer? just prime'n spray, with urban decay!!! (wow it rhymes!)

to prime the eyes:

this product is great for oily eye-lids and lets face it, eye-shadow creasing on the eye-lids look pretty nasty.......with this product, I can go from work to dinner and clubbing without touching up my eye area! dead serious! 

how to use? 

just smooth it over the eye-lids up to your brow bone and just on the corners of your eyes, or anywhere you put eye shadow!! It prevents smudges too!

and finish with this spray:

this is the miracle worker: it keeps your make-up lasting on FOREVER!~!! amazing stuff! It does this thing where your skin looks amazing... especially when you take pictures, it looks like you've been photoshoped!

here is proof! there is no photoshop done! if I may say so, I'd say my skin looks pretty darn good!

Urban Decay is definitely a brand that doesn't get enough attention, not because they are bad products but I believe that their packaging and how they market themselves really limits their clientele. The whole potion idea and odd names of their products makes them sound gimmicky! ANYWAY putting that aside, I have used many MANY eye primers because it is a pet peeve of mine to see eye-shadow creasing......and urban decay is down right the best one.

PLUS the majority of make-up lesson video's on YOUTUBE use urban decay eye primer as their number one choice. SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!

It is only $22 cdn at sephora! 

MUST TRY!!!!!
