What's in my bag?

Each week, I'll be delving into my magical beauty bag to share some of my favorites with you all. From great deals I've discovered at TJ Maxx to those Birchbox samples I can't live without - every Monday I'll update you with some of my staples hiding in my purse. 

Confession? I'm a lackluster lipstick girl. It's the one thing I've never been able to master whether it's shopping for a new shade or finding one that I can't live without. As a mama on the go, I'm constantly searching for that perfect shade of red that can survive longer than my Starbucks latte.

"Red lipstick is to beauty what the LBD is to fashion. The difference is that when you walk into a room wearing a red lip, people notice you." 

- Francois Nars

Until recently, I was torn up by the constant struggle to find the right "one." My beauty soulmate. I went on multiple lipstick blind dates and felt love-lost. But, thanks to the very sweet lady at Nordstrom a few weeks ago - my life has been forever changed for the positive. 

Welcome Chanel Le Rouge Crayon de Couleur. 

An absolute breath of fresh air in the make-up realm, this lip crayon is incredibly portable and has survived multiple hours for this busy mama on the go.  With a fabulous array of colors, this long-wear lip crayon does the trick and then some. I rarely even gloss over it as the color is just that bold & spot on. You know on a bad day there's always a kickass lipstick that can glisten your world. It's a my new must-have and I've already picked up my two favorite shades: N05 Rouge + N06 Framboise

So ladies, put on some red lipstick and live a little!
