Black Dior Soft Bag with Cannage Embroidery Review

This is my go to bag for work!
 I've been using this bag for the past month and I still can't get over it. I've always had a love affair with Dior bags. Their bags are classic, yet they seem to also have a young and millennium feel to them. 

Why do I love it as a work bag? 
Well for one it's not so heavy on the shoulder. I can pack it up and not feel like my shoulder is going to fall off. The bag is also super understated and since it's black i don't have to worry about the bag matching my clothes. 

But most importantly it's the compartments! You have the center portion that zips up completely. This is where my wallet, agenda and other odds and ends go. within the center portion there is a zip pocket where I keep the authenticity card from Dior and any important paper work or money inside for security.

You then have 2 side compartments which are so useful when you are out and about. One of the side pocket has 2 inner pockets where I keep my pen and my phone. The other side pocket is where I keep my LV cles that holds my keys.

Its a good size bag, that isn't too large for my 5ft petite frame. What do you guys think of this bag? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation - My 2 cents on it


For daily wear i've been using the Chanel Aqua lumiere foundation for about a year, and I was getting bored of it. I love trying new things especially makeup products, and I have tried several times to put a mental buy ban on myself.I failed again! I went out to the mall, walked passed Bobbi Brown's boutique and the next thing I knew I left the store with a new powder brush, eyebrow mascara and the Skin Foundation!

I bought the shade #3, which is the beige color. According to the Bobbi Brown website this foundation is "A truly modern foundation that offers invisible, weightless coverage that looks like skin, not makeup."  This foundation is recommended for normal to oily skin as it is quite light weighted.

My first impressions of this foundation is that the texture is more on the runny side as you can see above in the picture. But, it does pack a punch! The coverage is light and really does feel like my skin, which is perfect for work and normal everyday use. I will say this though, I would not recommend this foundation for that fun night out on a Saturday or that dinner date you have with that hottie on a Friday night.

Would I buy this again? Yeap! I definitely would but I think #3 is a bit too light for me, so I may just get #3.5 which is warm beige next time.
