One Truffle Clarity Pouch

I have seen so many people on instagram carrying these adorable pouches.  Finally after seeing The Beauty Look Book show hers I knew I needed to get my own.  So I placed on order on One Truffle for the large Clarity Pouch.  The shipping was super fast and the pouch is beyond perfect.  It fits nicely into all my purses and hardly takes up any room.  And I am able to fit all of my everyday essentials into the pouch and it has room for more!  It measures 10'" x 12".  I am totally ordering a few more.   

Here I am using my Forever 21 bag and my Kate Spade wallet. 

In my pouch: 

Fresh Sugar Tulip Lip Treatment

Malin + Goetz Lip Balm 

Sephora Mirror 

Orbit Sweet Mint Gum 

YSL Gloss Volupte  

Too Faced Nude Lip Liner 

Clinique Concealer 

Buxom Gloss in White Russian 

La Mer Concealer 

Tom Ford Lip Shine in Frolic

What would you put in your clutch ??

July Favorites

July has come and gone... weep!  I can't believe the summer is almost over.  Enough of my complaining and onto my July Favorites.

I have been loving my new serum from Estee Lauder(1).  It helps minimize my pores and just leaves my face feeling silky smooth.  For moisturizer I have been using the Firming & Lifting Cream(2) from Algenist.  I actually got this as a 100pt perk from Sephora.  I have had this before and absolutely adored it.  It really moisturizes my face.  As for foundation I have been obsessed with my Estee Lauder Double Wear Light (3).  It gives amazing coverage but, it doesn't feel like I have much on my face.
As we all know I am not really into tanning but, since it is summer I have been using my Too Faced Bronzed & Poreless(4) to give myself and all over sun kissed look.  And for cheeks I have been loving the Becca Blush in Flowerchild(5).  It is a beautiful pinky, coral shade.  For eyes I have ben very minimal.  I have either reached for the NudeStix in Twilight(6) or the Burberry Eyeshadow in Rosewood(7).  They both are easy to work with and require no effort.  And then for mascara I have been using the Too Faced Better Than Sex(8).  And O-M-G is this stuff the bomb dot com.  It makes my lashes look so amazing!  I am actually ready to throw away all my other mascaras (of course not my Armani).  It is that amazing.
For lips I have been really enjoying my Rose Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment(9).  And for some color I have using the Tom Ford Lip Shine in Frolic(10).  It is the perfect light coral shade that is great for everyday wear.  And lastly the new Sally Hansen Gel(11) polish has been on my finger constantly.  I love the shade B Girl.

I'm a Lip Balm Addict !

I don't know about you, but I am a full fledged lip balm addict.  I need LA (lip balm anonymous).  And that picture above, that's not even all of them, only the ones I treasure most.  Well I guess you get the picture now.  So, lets just say I know what I am talking about when it comes to this subject! 

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are great!  They come in so many different shades and "flavors".  The three I have are minis that I have acquired, but I have gone through two full sized rose ones in the past.  These can leave a nice tint on your lips and keeps them fully hydrated. 

This was one of my most recent purchases due to youtube.  Everyone on youtube and the blogs I follow have been raving about it, so I knew I had to try.  And this Dior Creme de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm is amazing!!  Now I don't know about the plumping, but I do love the smoothing.  The smell of this is great!  If you like the fragrance of Chanel makeup then you will enjoy this.  I have only been using this for a week, but for the past week I have loved it.  It keeps your lips moisturized for at least a few hours.  I don't feel the need to reapply as much as others.  

I mainly bought this Soap & Glory Great Kisser Lip Balm because of the smell!  It smells exactly like a juicy peach and I mean who doesn't want there lips to smell exactly like a juicy peach!!  This lip balm is nice and thick and leaves a nice finish on the lips.  I wouldn't say it is the best at moisturizing, but to me the smell is what I love this for.  

Oh Jack Black, I would marry you if I could.  Now this is my ultimate holy grail, if I ever run out I'll just die, lip balm.  I have gone through countless tubes, in countless flavors.  This stuff is just the best ever.  I would say that the next time you are in Sephora you MUST pick one up.  They are only $7.50, which is pretty good considering the rest of these lip balms are pretty pricey.  This stuff just coats your lips and stays there and hydrates them.  Hands down the bestest ever!  

Now I am not a big fan for using this on my lips.  It just has an awful taste and smell.  So my Dr. Lip  Original Nipple Balm for Lips is now being used to treat my horrible dry, cracked elbows.  And its been working out well!  It has a very thick consistency that just melts right into my cracks.  That sounds horrible, but if it work it works.

This Hourglass Lip Oil is also a recent acquisition of mine.  To be honest I have not used it a whole lot, but it seems to have potential.  It is very different then the rest of the lip balms since it's an oil.  It has a pretty good consistency and lasts on the lips for awhile.  For now I'm liking it, but when I use it more I will let you all know!!


What are your favorite lip balms??  Am I the only crazy one out there (don't respond to that)??
