Here are the products in my makeup bag I couldn’t live without for Fashion Week! 

From left to right:

1) Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat- Luminizing Pen: I usually use this on the bridge of my nose and the middle of my forehead. I find that it makes my face look more alive, especially on those days where I feel….dead.

2) Diorshow Extase- Mascara: I apply this after my Diorshow Iconic mascara for that extra pop! It adds a dramatic effect to my lashes, making them look longer than they are.

3) Shiseido- Matifying Stick: The newest addition to my essentials. I apply this under my makeup, on areas of my skin that are prone to oiliness. It keeps my face looking fresh and not greasy (ew!) throughout the day and night.  

4) Bobbi Brown- Cover up: No one likes spots, uneven pigmentation, or dark under eye circles! And I use this little piece of magic just for that. It evens out my skin tone perfectly, before I put on my powder.

5) Diorshow Iconic- Mascara: This has been one of my favorite products since 2003! While I don’t always use it consistently, I find that no other mascara treats my eyes the way Diorshow does. My lashes look fabulous whenever I use it. 

6) Stila- Liquid Eyeliner: I NEVER attempted to use liquid eyeliner until I discovered this baby right here. It goes on with ease, it’s as if you’re using a sharpie and not eyeliner! You can draw a thin line or up the drama with a thick line and it’s perfect for cat eyes (although I haven’t tried that one yet)

Me at NYFW SS 2012 (September)

Yup! NYFW, to me, is the most adored and most dreaded acronym in the English language. Why you ask? Well, the rush of excitement that takes over me when I receive a show invite is indescribable…still. But as I sort through my e-mails, snail mail (don’t underestimate the power of a snazzy physical invite), and tweets, I turn into a ball of anxiety. That one infamous question takes over my brain….

I think I was a mermaid in my past life, being by the water makes me insanely happy. Anywho I spent some time at the marina this weekend with my friend Shellanee during her visit. The sun was out and it was warm, the perfect day for a stroll!

Who else is drooling over that gold metal plate belt? I discovered it on Sabo Skirt, but they’re based in Australia. I am usually a pro at finding things but alas, I had no such luck. Does ANYONE know where I can buy/order a similar belt here in the US? I am dying to know.

Now let’s get back to the other treat in the picture: the ARM CANDY! I’ve been lusting after similar cuffs for awhile now too. Those are definitely on my shopping list. (Am I the only one who makes those?)

Also digging this colorful band skirt I discovered on Lulu’s this weekend. I don’t have anything like it and I can’t wait to style it. Curious to hear about which items you’re lusting after right now. Speak on it!

*I finally made a Facebook page for my blog, I made it easy for you to go ahead and ‘like’ it, over on the right :-)
