Know Your Antiques

I went on a recent visit to my grandparents house and what a lucky duck I was, my grandfather gifted me this neat old book! Now I have no excuse when I go antique shopping, there is a ton of great information in here. Plus it's another great one to add to my growing collection. I also got these cute petal compotes from a bridal shower I recently attended (they are part of a set of two) which were filled with lots of candies and sweets as the theme of the shower was candy, and as you can see the compote is now empty... so you get the idea! I guess it's been a very SWEET week for me!

Milk & Cookies

Made some yummy homemade oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies and washed them down with a glass of lactose free milk (yuppers I am lactose intolerant), and even got to try out my new striped straws!

Beauty Bag: Nancy, Marcus Design

Hello lovely Wallpaper readers!! I'm really excited to be part of the Beauty Bag series, a big thank you Liz for counting me in!

I can recall being fascinated with makeup from a young age ... does any one remember those dolls that you could put under hot water and makeup would magically appear on their faces? I loved those dolls :) Since makeup doesn't magically appear on me, my Beauty Bag is brimming with goodies {a girl never can have too many products!} Here are a few of the things I just can't live without:

1. Purminerals Radiance Blush - leaves the softest touch of pink, perfection!

2. Covergirl Lashblast Volume {in Very Black} - My lashes are nearly non-existent. This mascara truly solves my problem.


3. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - This stuff not only comes in a cool looking bottle, it literally is MAGIC! My eyelids tend to get oily and I end up looking like a racoon at the end of the day. This primer seriously keeps everything where it should be!!

4. Bare Escentuals Brush Kit - I have brushes in all shapes and sizes, having the right tools for the job is key!

5. Mac Lipglass {in Lychee Luxe} - This is my go-to summer color, the coral hue works perfectly with a golden tan, which I am currently trying to extend as long as I can :)

6. Mac Pro Longwear Lipcolor {in Night Rose} - Best lipcolor. EVER. It really stays on all day no matter what you do. They call it Longwear for a reason!

And the one beauty product that I can't live without??

bareMinerals Matte SPF 15 Foundation. It's pure mineral goodness that is light and absorbs oils during the day. I can't walk out the door without it! I hope you enjoyed my must-have list.


Thanks to the lovely and talented Nancy of Marcus Design for sharing her beauty bag of goodies with us! #3 on her list has definitely peaked my interest, I too hate it when my eyeshadow turns oily and it begins to feel more like eye shadow cream, so this eyeshadow primer sounds great!
