Rebecca Minkoff and Coach

Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C  $95
I am the type of person who, when it comes to clothing, has to have everything planned out to the T. Especially if i am spending a good amount of money on it. My Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C is in the color 'Biscuit' with gold hardware. I got it to match my Tiffany necklace which is in the color rubatos. I got my iPad in the color white so that it would look good with my necklace. I got gold head phones to mach both my iPad and my necklace. When I got my Mini M.A.C, I realized there was something seriously wrong. I did not have a nice, sleek wallet to mach my purse which in turn had to look good with my necklace and iPad. At that moment I pulled out my iPod and went on the hunt for a wallet. I ended up getting the corner zip wristlet in ocelot print cross-grain leather from coach and I got it in a light blue. I decided to be a bit crazy and it matches all my stuff!! Score!! I chose Coach because I love their leather and I could not afford Louis Vuitton. I own one of their purses so I know how they hold up and I really do love their company. They have a new designer from Louis Vuitton and I really love his new designs. I felt this was just the pop of color and design that I needed in my wardrobe.
 corner zip wristlet in ocelot print cross-grain  $75

Now, why I chose to get a Mini M.A.C. I live in Chicago, and I was sick of carrying bigger purses when I went downtown. I've always loved the Mini M.A.C's small size. I really love the studs at the bottom because it reminds me of the Alexander Wang Rocco. It's easy to carry and it can be worn as a cross body bag. It fits a phone, wallet, and some small makeup. It instantly makes any outfit look amazing. The Mini M.A.C retails for $195 and the Coach wristlet retails for $75. With tax I paid $80. I feel both of these are great buys and worth the money.

Naked 3

Hello you guys!!! I am coming to you all with a review on the naked 3 pallet from urban decay. Now I have had this pallet since April and I must say I am really in love with it. I'm a girl who likes to stick with nude like eyeshadows. But I like to play with some color. The naked 3 has 12 beautiful rich colors and every one is nude ish while playing with a small bit of color at the same time. It comes with a huge mirror and a dubl end eye shadow brush. There is one highlight color (strange) and two deep dark colors (dark side, black heart). The colors I am in love with are: nooner, liar, buzz, trick, and factory. I do feel blackheart is kinda messy. It is a very dark purple and you can easily make it look like you got punched in the eye. I know lots of people did not like the packaging because it is just like the naked 2. I personally love the packaging I do prefer the naked packaging only because it's easier to flip back. But I really love how the naked 3 looks as well. I do feel like it feels kinda cheep only because it costs somwhere around $54. The quality could be better but over all it's fine. I mainly care about the product on the inside. The shadows are very soft and glide on like butter. There is some fall out witch is very visable with the dark colors and can be very hard to clean off your face. The brush that it comes with is nothing fancy. It's a nice brush And I haven't had any shedding. It's quite dence and easy to use. I prefer to use my own brush but that's just me. Over all this a great product and I feel everyone should have this item in there makeup bag. I feel it is worth every penny. I hope you enjoyed and I will talk to you guys soon!!
