What's In My Bag

Inside My Bag

December 21, 2014

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I have a few things to share that I’ve been loving lately – all of which are compact in size making it easy to slip into a flat leather clutch.

First, Elizabeth and James just released a new Solid Perfume Compact for Nirvana Black and White. It’s the prettiest solid perfume compact I’ve seen. It comes in heavy duty a mirrored compact with the same detail as the full size bottles. It’s currently a VIB/VIB Rouge Exclusive at Sephora.com through 12/27 and will be officially launch in the new year. The solid Nirvana Black smells just like the Eau De Parfum and Rollerball (full review on those here) with decent lasting power.

Next, I’ve been really enjoying the Tom Ford Lips & Boys clutch-sized lipsticks. I have posted a few sneak peeks here and on my Instagram, I’m working as fast as I can to get the full review and swatches up this week. Below is William, a sheer glossy nude peach shimmer.

NARS is a regular go-to these days with their Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Dione (review) and Audacious Lipstick in Barbara (review). I’ve been shopping my stash with both formulas.
For the dry winter weather, I’ve been using hand cream and lip balms religiously. Two I really like at the moment is L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand cream mini that I got as a gift with purchase at the boutique (always a classic) and the Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturizer.

Full clutch contents this weekend:
1 / NARS Audacious Lipstick in Barbara
4 / Chocolate Mints Tin
5 / Louis Vuitton Key ring
6 / L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
9 / Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre in Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (review soon)
10 / Tom Ford Lips & Boys in William
12 / iPhone

Hope you have a lovely Sunday afternoon!

The Elizabeth & James solid compact was provided for review consideration. The mini L’Occitane hand cream was a gift with purchase in store. All other items purchased by me.

      L'Occitane makes such good ones 🙂

    I would love to know what crease colors you're wearing with Dione. It is a little cooler toned than most shadows I wear.

    • Sabrina December 22, 2014 at 5:17 pm

      Hi Beth, I've been wearing warmer colors like NARS Cordura Duo or Fez along with Dione for contrast. I also find it works well with Burberry Midnight Brown for added depth.

      HTH!

    Hi Sabrina,

    I love the look of Tom Ford William here! I can't wait to see your reviews 🙂

  • Sarah December 22, 2014 at 5:59 am

    How would one apply the solid perfume without getting their fingers smelly? I really dislike perfume getting on my hands, especially since it's hard to wash off with soap + water. But I like the concept of the solid perfume because it's safer to keep in my purse than a rollerball. Thanks!

    • Sabrina December 22, 2014 at 5:18 pm

      Hi Sarah, I haven't found a way to apply solid perfume except with the fingers but the Elizabeth and James along with Diptyque ones have a nice drydown so it doesn't make the fingers sticky.

    Your makeup bag is so neat! My bag looks NOTHING like that! 🙂

  • Fancie December 22, 2014 at 9:23 pm

    Cute clutch! Loving all the goodies you have inside too. I'm really digging those NARS Audacious lipsticks right now and I've been meaning to try that perfume for a while now
