♡What's in my Purse♡

Hey guys, I've been thinking about doing this post for a while now so I've decided it's time and I'm so excited to show you guys what's inside my purse!

I am so in love with my satchel from Fossil. I received this purse as a gift a couple months back but never got around to using it because it seemed really spacey. But now that school is almost over I don't really carry much around except my purse and my laptop. It's the perfect size for me to carry around everything I need without feeling like I'm missing anything because everything is able to fit in here. 

1. Of course as you guys saw in my summer reading list post, I love carrying around a book with me just in case I find myself with nothing to do. Right now A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway has been lugging around with me.
2. I always have to have a pair of sunnies with me. How can you not when you live in Miami? Mine are from Charlotte Russe.
3. I would truly feel lost without my wallet; mine is from Steve Madden.
4. My lip products are a must for me, even if it is just a simple lip balm. I usually carry about three different type of lip products (as seen above): a lip balm, a lip stain, and a lipstick. My current favorite lip product is Wet n Wild's Bare it All.
5. My hands sometimes tend to get dry sometimes so I make sure that I have some type of lotion with me. Right now I'm loving the Bath & Body Works one in Warm Vanilla Sugar.
6. Last but not least, my compact mirror. Every girl should have one of these in their purse for emergencies or touch ups. I love the design of the little french bull dogs (ahhh!) and I got it at Forever21.

♡ VALENTINE'S DAY MAKE-UP SUGGESTIONS: DRUGSTORE♡

Valentine's Day is a day where you could either look forward to or ignore completely. If you don't have a valentine's this year maybe it would be fun to go out to eat or shop with some friends. If you do have a valentine's this year try something new and don't do a cookie-cutter valentine's day evening. Here are some drug store make up suggestions for a perfect valentines day look!jbja

Face:
It would be ideal to not wear anything heavy on Valentine's day and just go out with a face mositurizer but some of us aren't so lucky. A sheer foundation or BB cream should do the trick. It's better not to be so fussy about having too many caked on products. 

Here are some suggested foundations/BB creams:

Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick

Garnier Miracle Skin Protector BB Cream

L'OREAL True Match Naturale Mineral Foundation

Revlon ColorStay Foundation

A nice light barely-there blush would be perfect for a night out. Specifically there two Maybelline Fit Me Blushes. I would skip the bronzer, unless you really want to contour your face.

          Light Pink                                            Medium Nude

Eyes
 I always go neutral with eye shadow colors but for Valentine's Day I would mix it  up a bit depending on my lipstick I would put a burgundy or light pink on my crease. Here are some options:

Option 1:
I would use this Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bold Gold all over my lid and add a little of a light pink eye shadow.

                                                   
Step 2:
This Maybelline Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow Quad in Taupe Temptress is perfect for a Valentines day look. 
                   
I would skip the eyeliner but if you want a dramatic, you could do a winged eyeliner look using one of these two:

Maybelline Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

                                       


 For mascara I recommend any mascara that really gives volume and length like Maybelline's The Rocket Mascara               
                                                                                                      
Lips:
I always choose the lipstick I am going to wear depending on how intense or dramatic my eyes are. 

If my eye look is dramatic I tend to go with a more subtle lipstick like Maybelline's Color Sensational: The Buffs  in Blushing Beige

For a less dramatic eye I would go with a bold lip like Wet n Wild's Mega Last Lip Color in Cherry Bomb.

If you're not the lipstick type, Maybelline's Baby Lips in Cherry Me gives the perfect red stain for the lips.
