Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

Quick Post!

I have a new baby and I wanted to share her with all of you!

I have been eyeing all the gold Michael Kors watches, and if you read my blog you will know a MK watch has been on my wishlist for a while. I recently saw a girl wearing a rose gold watch and had to ask her where she got it and who made it! She told me that it was Michael Kors and that she got it at Macy's. I went home and saw that the average cost of a Michael Kors watch was $250.00!!!! Even though I am employed I cannot afford such a thing! So my boyfriend suggested Ebay :/ I have always been hesitant about ebay. But I still looked. I found several watches for around $100. I tried bidding on some but no luck :(

I looked for 3 days straight and no luck! So one day after work, I just googled MK rosegold watch, Nordstrom.com was the first website that popped up. I found a Rose gold MK watch on SALE for $107!!!!! I had it sent to a nearby store to avoid paying shipping so total was about $120!!!


It's the perfect size, the perfect look, and all around just perfect! I love it and here are some quick pics of it!

thanks for stopping by!

Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss

I have watched a lot of makeup Youtube videos and  this has caused many makeup buys, sometimes they are hits and sometimes they are misses. I see Youtube as a QVC where you watch the beauty gurus talk about a product for several minutes and you suddenly are convinced that you NEED what they have. Well, I have found a huge hit and they are the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses.
Several Youtube gurus have raved about the lip glosses, so I ran to my Walgreens and bought two because there was a buy 1 get one half off deal, so I had to get two..right? :)  I was instantly satisfied with my purchases. I loved the texture, the colors, the lasting power, the packaging, and the price.

I was very unsure which colors to get. The first two colors I bought were Shine City (a clear, glittery color) and Pink Pursuit (a glittery, neutral, soft pink color). I chose these colors because Shine City was a safe color that would go on top of any pretty lipstick. And the reason I got Pink Pursuit is because I saw that if your purchased this particular color proceeds went to Breast Cancer research, and I am a sucker for anything that helps with the fight against cancer.




Left: Shine City
Right: Pink Pursuit

I loved the first colors so much that I went back and got 'Pink Pop' (a bright, rose, pink color) I am totally a neutral girl but I love wearing Pink pop with a neutral eye. Its a great color to mix with lighter toned pink lipsticks. Great color to add to any ones collection.
And recently, I saw someone wearing the prettiest coral, pink color on her lips and I found out that it was 'Coral-Reef'. I went to my CVS and got the last one that they had. It seems that coral, peachy pink color is in for Spring and Summer. I absolutely LOVE this color, its a bright, peachy pink color that is simply gorgeous!



Left: Pink Pop
Right: Coral Reef

 Here are some swatches:



Left to Right: Coral Reef, Pink Pop, Pink Pursuit, Shine City



Shine City: Clear, glittery color



Pink Pursuit: Light, neutral, pink, shimmery color



Pink Pop: Bright pink glossy color

Coral Reef: Pink, peach, glossy color

Overall, I 100% recommend these lip glosses. I am a sucker for packaging and I love the packaging on these lip glosses, they look expensive, and actually remind me of Chanel lip glosses. I love the texture because it is not sticky and they leave a great glossy finish. The price for these is a total steal. I believe they are around $7.99 each but almost all the time they have good deals on the like BOGO. So if you are looking for a good quality, inexpensive lip gloss the Revlon Super Lustrous Lip glosses are a must!

New Bag! Michael Kors Cross-Body

Michael: Michael Kors Charlton Cross-Body Bag

I have been on the hunt for a cute, black Michael Kors cross body bag. I was at Macy's one day and spotted this cute bag :) It cost $128 or $140 with taxes. It is kinda small but its my perfect everyday work bag or while riding the motorcycle with my boyfriend.

I love bags, but my big bags were getting ridiculous as far as what I put inside. I felt like a bag lady. I just wanted to downgrade to something smaller but still cute. When my right shoulder started to hurt because of how heavy my bag was I knew it was time for a small bag. LOL

  

inside



back

 It has 2 compartments inside and one in the back. I love the lining inside with the MK logo. I'm a sucker for small attention to detail and Mr. Michael Kors always does this :)


My favorite thing about the bag is the gold buckle.

This bag is  so easy to carry around, I don't lose things like I do with a bigger bags, and I don't carry around unnecessary things, although I try.

I plan on posting more posts of my bag collection soon. I own a lot of bags so I want to do posts where I feature one bag at a time.

Hope you enjoyed!





Update!

I want to apologize for neglecting this blog. My life has completely changed since I last did a blog post. I am now employed :D :D :D so I don't have a lot of time on my hands like I used to.

I have been meaning to update the blog and spruce it up a bit, but work, my boyfriend, new friends and Skittles (my doggie) have taken up my time :)

As you might have noticed I changed the name of the blog. I was never really satisfied with the prior name and I have been wanting something better. I have also been reading A LOT of beauty blogs and was inspired to put a little more time and energy into mine.

I will try and do a lot more blog posts. I have also made a twitter account that sort of accompanies my blog @beautygrace4U
I do a lot of Eye looks of the Day or Jewelry of the Day on that twitter account. Please follow it and subscribe to my blog!

I promise to invest more time and energy!

Bracelets and Watches

I have had many beauty/fashion obsessions lately... one fashion obsession is wrist accessories like watches and bracelets. I love combining them! I have 3 pictures to show of some of my favorite wrist jewels :)

The white watch was purchased at Disneyland :) I absolutely love it and plan on purchasing a black mickey watch soon. The only thing I dislike about this white watch is that its metal so it has gotten scratched up a bit, so when I buy the black one I will go with the plastic material instead. I matched my white Mickey watch with a set of bangles from Jessica Simpson, a random bangle that has diamonds on it, and my Tiffany & Co. toggle bracelet.

The pink watch is by Guess and was given to me on my 18th birthday from my cousin. I recently found it and got the battery replaced. I love the look of big gotti watches :) I paired the Guess watch with my white wrap around that I purchased from Target, and a pink bracelet that was given to me from my grandmother a very long, long time ago.

As for the gorgeous diamond wraparounds... I purchased them at Target. I fell in love with them. I first bought the white one and got so many compliments on it, that I decided to purchase the black one. I love combining them with other bracelets or watches. My only complaint is that the metal parts snag my shirts sometimes. But I still love them :)

I plan on putting pictures of my "stacks" on twitter @beautygrace4U and sometimes on this blog. So keep an eye out!

HAUL: Haute Look: Urban Decay

Hello All! I am so excited because the day after Christmas I ordered 2 things from a website called Haute Look, where they were selling everything Urban Decay for $2!!! You heard correctly two bucks! It was only for a limited time so I went on and found 2 things I really liked.

Haute Look is a website where they have sales and deals on makeup, jewelry, and other things for really good prices. It is free to sign up and you do have to pay shipping and handling. My ONLY complaint about ordering from Haute Look is that it took a long time for the items to be shipped. I ordered I believe the day after Christmas and the order was delivered on January 4, 2011 and arrived today January 6, 2011. But the order came and now I am sooooooooo happy!

I ordered two loose pigments from Urban Decay in the colors Shag and Smog. They are 2 gorgeous very highly pigmented colors. This is the first time me using loose powder for eyes.

No Flash: Urban Decay Primer Potion underneath colors
Top Shag and bottom Smog

The color Smog is this dark brown almost gold color that can be used for a base or crease color. It is also a color that is in the famous Naked Palette that everyone has raved about and trying to get there hands on.

With Flash: Urban Decay Primer Potion under colors
Top Shag and bottom Smog.

The color Shag is this sort of bronze, pink color, it reminds me of All that Glitters from MAC.

I am so far happy with this purchase, the retail price of these loose pigments is $20.00 dollars and for me to get them for $2 dollars each makes me very happy!

Check out Haute Look its really a great website with great deals!
