My Purse Collection (Most Used & Favorites)

Thursday, August 13, 2009

I've been meaning to do this post for awhile but so lazy to take all the bags out and take pics... me such a lazy blogger lol... since I just recently moved to a new home, I finally got a chance to take some pix before I organize them in my closet.

Living in NY with limited space, I had sold some and gave some away from time to time... I try to only keep the ones I absolutely love, but you know... it's just too hard for a woman with bag fetish like me, haha...

I'm a big fan of Louis Vuitton(who isn't) and Italian leather, here are some of my most frequent used and favorite ones --


LV Damier Saleya MM - My carry all work bag. Papers, lunch and occasionally shopping bags all go into it :) I initially got a GM and thought I will use it as diaper bag or when I go to the gym... ended up I exchanged it for a MM coz GM was just too humongous to carry around. I'm so glad I got this one instead coz it's a perfect size for work :)



LV Mono Speedy 30 - My first designer bag(Speedy seems to be lots of girls first designer bag for some reason :)), I had it for about 9 years, bought it with my first month salary of my first career in my life, it went through life's ups and downs with me... remember the time when I ate ramen noodles everyday and lived in the basement apt... and once I almost sold it coz financial trouble, lol... after all these years she still here with me! A bag that can tell my naive little life stories I guess :)

I don't use it as much as before coz now with a baby, a bag that can go over the shoulder seems more convenient... hubby knew I treasure this bag, he bought me a bag chain to decorate it. It's like an old lady with new bling... still gorgeous isn't it ? :D



LV Tivoli GM - Just got it recently from hubby for our anniversary. I heart it :D haven't carry it out under the sun yet. It definitely has a feeling of carry a Speedy, but it also works as a shoulder bag, just exactly what I need. YAY!!!



Tod's Large Satchel - It was love at the first sight, simple, classic and roomy... and the leather was just sooooooo nice :)




Satchel from B. Makowsky - I carry it for grocery...baby's doctor app... my worry free carry around bag. Love that it has a long strap so I can wear it crossbody when I need it.



No. It is not from Chloe :) It's from a local designer brand from Brooklyn called Sabina. Their style is kinnda fashionable and funky(Urban Outfitter sometimes carries them). I didn't know the original style was from Chloe before I purchased it haha.... It's a bit on the heavy side but I love the style :)




Satchel from Saks - It also has strap that can go over the shoulder. The more I wear it the better it looks.

Can you tell all my bags are similar... I luv floppy bags :D



A bag also from long time ago... I love the ruffles on this Italian suede satchel, from Inge.




Another suede shoulder bag with animal print... adds hippie flavor on the casual day.
(brand unknown)




Lastly, I will just leave you all with a pure gorgeousness... A bag that I wish I could have but no longer available...


The long discontinued Mirage Speedy Burgundy... classic with a twist. I could pay ridiculous price for a second hand(which I won't) or I could probably get a knock off online or something, but, who wants a knock off...

Taupes Comparison (MAC, NARS)

Sunday, August 9, 2009

I pick up Style Snob from the new Starflash collection the other day and I immediately thought about my other taupey babies in the family so I wanted to do a comparison :) I'm always a big fan of taupey colors and my all time fave is the infamous MAC Satin Taupe. A metal, brownish taupe that MAC has it in every holiday smoky eye palette(I happened to have 3).

NARS single eye shadow Ashes to Ashes is a close dupe for Satin Taupe, just a bit less pigmented and a little less brown. One of my favorite NARS eye shadow.

NARS Cairo is a lighter and warmer taupe that can work as highlighter on darker skin tone. It's hard to describe this color... I use it all over the lid for a casual day.

MAC Style Snob looks similar to Satin Taupe from outside but definitely has more purple and pink when swatch on skin. I was immediately drawn to this color when I saw the collection. Haven't tried it on my eyes but I know it's gonna be gorgeous!



There are some other taupes in my collection, like MAC Sweet Sienna pigment(similar to Satin Taupe), MAC Family Silver(taupey silver), and MAC Shale(taupey purple) are also my favorites :)

My Favorite Nude Lips (MAC, NARS, YSL)

Monday, July 20, 2009

Here are few of my fave lipsticks that I use on daily basis. I didn't put any of my fave MAC LE lipsticks here coz I haven't feel like using them much since they are hard to find (like 3N & St. Germain). All my favorites are in nude and baby pink family. I'm a big fan of pale lips and MAC has large selection of those and they are not overly pricey.

I have pigmented lips and tend to go for the finishes that have more coverage and none drying. MAC Creamsheen and Amplified are my favorite finishes, they're very moisturizing and give the most coverage (I do like Lustre but wish it has more coverage). Angel(frost) and Hue(glaze) are nice coz they are not as dry as other frost and glaze ones, and the prettiest baby pinks compliment almost all skin tones.

Blankety was my first nude lipstick since long time ago and I'm still loving it these days. I found it a little similar to Creme d'nude on my lips, just a tad more brown.

Angel and Cream Cup are almost the same. Angel is very smooth and not drying compare with other frost finishes. They are more pink compare with the rest but still lighter than my own lips.

Hue is a sexy color and it will be a 10 if it's not a Glaze. I do need to scrub my lips really well before I put this on. It's so preeeety on smooth and pouty lips. I'm hoping to find something that has exact color but in different finish... 

I'm also a big fan of NARS Chelsea girls lip lacquer. The color is almost identical to YSL Rouge Volupte #2 Sensual Silk. They are pinky beige, not as beige as Creme d'nude and not as pink as Angel. They are the perfect nude lips for me and they both give really good coverage. YSL has weak staying power but it has yummy melon taste and it's a pleasure to apply! These 2 are my perfect nudes (how many time I'm saying this, haha). I will always stick with them if I don't have so many MACs waiting for me to use :)

So this is it! my favorite nude lips... they are pretty much the same colors but I still want more! If you know something that's worth trying, do let me know ;)

The Body Shop body butter pickups

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

I pick up 2 body butters at The Body Shop last week. As now they have 2 for $30 for all body butters promotion. So go pick them up while you can, only twice a year the sales girl said.


I love their body butters in general. I have dry skin all year round and these babies work the best. My all time favorite scents are Shea butter and Coconut.

Their shea butter has this really clean light scent that I never get tired of, and the coconut is the most natural and yummy coconut I've ever smell, not overly sweet and milky at all.

I use perfume on daily basis and these body butters works well with most of my perfumes. The Shea butter smells clean and the scent goes away pretty quickly. The coconut one works well with my summer perfumes, smells divine with the ones that has coconut and tropical fruit notes. After trying so many different body moisturizers, I keep going back for these. They are definitely my HG!

I also pick up a lip butter... I saw lollipop26 talked about it in her video so decided to check it out. It's not a very thick lip balm but it's moisturizing enough. It's dragon fruit flavor I believe and it tastes so yummy! I don't really use it underneath lipsticks as it is a bit runny.

I might take advantage of the sale and pick up a few more body butters :) Do you like them? What's your favorite?

DSK Giveaway and Weekend FOTD

Monday, July 13, 2009

I got 2 packages last week and I'm completely in love -- Geo circle lenses and DSK Jewelry :)

I finally got myself some of DSK jewelry after seeing so many gals blogged about it. Just like all her satisfied customers, I'm happy with all the pieces that I got :) Her style is simple and elegant, and I love that her stuff are all customizable, and she's very nice to work with (big plus :))

Stephanie (DSK owner) has a giveaway contest you all have to check out.... Go here to win some of her beautiful creations!

I've been gone for so long, finally here is a pic from the weekend...

Things that I've been loving (on my face)
-NARS Sugarland duo
-MAC Earth to Earth Mineralized blush
-Hue l/s (rediscovered this, love!!!)
-Geo Angel Brown
-DSK signature heart gold necklace

I'm still waiting more orders from Geo Eye candy. Wait and more wait... you all know getting those lenses needs lots of patience, and I have no patience... lol...

What do you all think about MAC Color Craft collection? I'm so overwhelmed with this collection... so many MSFs!  They're used to be my babies, those LE MSFs, I'd bought lots of them, sold them, got more of them... swap for more of them... and decided not to care about them... coz they are all so pretty and all so dupable, and I can never catch up with the speed of MAC!

So far I didn't get any from the Color Craft collection(thinking about Color Craft Lipstick tho). Haha! Go me :) Guess I'm over MSFs... move over MSFs, give me some NARS Lolita collection (must check out the new ES duos, they are TO DIE FOR!)
