What’s In My Kate Spade Bag

My husband got me the Kate Spade Cove Street Irini for Valentines Day last year, and I decided it’s time to show you what’s in my bag.

This is actually a much smaller bag than what I normally carry so it’s taken me a while to figure out exactly what I need and don’t need.

I have my Coach Double Zip Wristlet,Elizabeth and James Nirvana, 2 bookmarks, Madewell Drifter Sunglass, a random piece of Trident Gum from my Aunts Wedding, Moleskin Notebook and Pen, a L’Occitane makeup bag, compact mirror that was a gift from a friend and a Bath and Body Works Pocket Bac.

In the L’Occitane bag I carry my Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Rose, Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lip Glosses in Truth and Lush, YSL Gloss Volupté in Grenade Pépite, YSL Volupté Sheer Candy Glossy Balm in Cool Guava and a Victoria’s Secret Mini in Victoria.

It’s amazing to be able to carry around so little. If I need to I can fit a book inside, but I only carry a book with me if I’m going to be waiting for a long period of time.

What are your must haves in your bag?

YSL Gloss Volupté Review

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while now, since it seems like I bought this gloss forever ago. Since I’m not doing much of anything thanks to my ankle, now seems like as good a time as any.

I bought the YSL GLoss Volupté in Grenade Pépite, which is a gorgeous watermelon pink.

There are 3 different types of gloss in the line, and this is one of the Golden Shimmers. They also have iridescent shimmer and no shimmer. This gloss is almost opaque, but still a little sheer which gives you great color pay off.

I have no complaints about this gloss. It’s gorgeous and it wears really well. It’s probably my most worn gloss.

On My Face: Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, The Balm Hot Mama, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, YSL Shocking Mascara, Marc Jacobs The Lolita, Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliners

I can’t wait to pick up another one. I kinda have my eye on Rose Jersey, which is a light natural pink with no shimmer.

A Little Luxury

Every once in a while I buy something just for the luxury of it. Something that’s just lovely to use, and there’s no real need for it, except it’s nice and it makes you feel good to use it.

This haul is a result of one of those times.

I went to Sephora, had a super quit chat with Maxwell, a couple weeks ago and picked up this Dior polish and one of the YSL Gloss Voluptés

This polish is gorgeous. The wear time isn’t outstanding, but the color makes up for it. And the name Bouquet makes it flawless for spring. I’m completely happy with it.

But this is my favorite. I went in looking for a lipgloss, and even though he was busy, Maxwell escorted me to the YSL section to look at these. YSL lip products are my weakness and I instantly fell in love with 3 shades. Since $90 worth of lipgloss would have been a bit much, I asked Maxwell to help me choose and we settled on Grenade Pépite. It’s a gorgeous watermelon pink that is flawless for spring and summer. I’ll have a full review on it soon, because I adore it.
