Kate Spade

In one of my previous posts I mentioned the top item on my Christmas wish list which was the Kate Spade fragrance, Twirl. I also said that I couldn't buy it when I was in the US because I wouldn't be able to bring it on the plane. Anyways, my wonderful mother bought it when I wasn't looking and managed to bring it back with her! It was the 1.7 oz instead of the 3.4 oz so it worked!

It was such a lovely gift since I wasn't expecting it at all! I was talking to my mom today and we were saying how Kate Spade has a way to make things classy yet so fun at the same time! There are always tiny details that make you smile. For example on many of her handbags and wallets there are playful polka dots on the interior. I truly believe that it's the little things that make something special and this comes across in almost everything by Kate Spade. My mom and I decided that we would love to sit down with Kate Spade and Deborah Lloyd (creative directors) and ask them where their inspiration comes from and how they seems to connect with everyone through their designs.

Reading through this it seems like such an obsessive post but I can't say enough good things about this designer. I know it's not classified as "high fashion" or a "luxury brand" but whether it's a handbag, jewelry, perfume, or gloves, there's something about these products that seem to put a smile on your face.

Youtube Beauty Guru's

Recently I've noticed that I'm becoming obsessed with the beauty guru's that are on youtube. Mind you, if you do not want another way to accomplish procrastinating, then do not read this post! These video's are highly addicting!

A couple months ago my friend showed me a video from "allthatglitters21." At first I was thinking that it was a cute idea, but nothing special. Then whenever I had the time I would glance back at the same page and watch some of her other videos. Soon I came to the conclusion that these videos are really helpful and simply fun to watch.

"allthatglitters21" has a younger sister "juicystar07' who is also a beauty guru on youtube. Their videos are similar but they discuss different topics and they have different personalities of course. Their videos focus on anything related to makeup, fashion, and pop culture. They also do a lot of product reviews which helps for future references.

The thing I liked most about these girls is that they mentioned a bunch of websites that have really good sales. One of the latest websites was hautelook.com which is a new favourite. I look at it everyday and it has amazing sales!

If you're interested in any of these things check them out! Here are their websites:

Review: Smashbox Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer

A friend recently suggested this to me and I really like it! I'm some one that is always self conscious that I look like a cake face hence I rarely wear foundation. I really wanted to try a new tinted moisturizer that would look natural but at the same time make my skin appear smooth and clear.

This tinted moisturizer is oil free which I love since my skin is naturally oily. It also has SPF 15 which is really important no matter how old you are. I also love it because it's really lightweight so it looks really natural but it provides just the right amount of coverage.

I would definitely recommend this tinted moisturizer if you aren't a fan of wearing foundation every day but still want some coverage. I would also suggest using a powder on top to set everything. Let me know what you think!
