What is in your purse? Well in my purse I have a Boots no 7 lipstick in a lovely Coral color called Coral Dream, an Everyday Minerals lipstick called Siesta, but these act more like balms though (I think). I have an Everyday Minerals puff Jar with some rice powder in it. I get very oily skin, so this helps a bit. I have an Everyday Minerals Retractable Kabuki too, love it! Because I live in FL I always carry some spf so I also have Aveeno positively radiant moisturizer with an spf of 30 and some Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock spf 55. Some Purell hand sanitizer, just in case. Ooh a no7 Pefect Lips pencil (it was hiding in there) in nude... sometimes I outline my lips to make them bigger, yet to find the perfect nude though, or one that will stay on me. Some Avon Glazewear color- Sand Shine. It is a nice gloss nude color. Other non makeup things: my new free phone from ATT - it's kinda nice, jealous of y'all iphoners though. Sharpie - everyone needs a sharpie! Toothpaste from my Virgin flight, so cute and teeny and a bunch of scrumpled up receipts... ie big mess.

What is in your purse? When I am at school I usually only carry my backpack (boring, I know) with an SPF lip balm and whatever gloss I may wear that day. When I do carry a purse it is usually a small one that prevents me from gathering clutter. Right now my purse has Smashbox lip gloss in Illume and Avon liquid lip balm in a peachy colour. I usually only touch up my lips when I am on the go, so my purse doesn't get clogged with various other products.

Guilty Pleasure: Wedding shows. I am terrible, I will watch marathons of Say Yes to the Dress and Rich Bride Poor Bride.

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I think I may have some olive in my skin, but I really have no idea! My skin is quite oily, and if I don't keep on top of it I end up with clogged pores and blackheads.

Beauty inspiration: I think Angelina Jolie is always sporting the perfect cateye! I wish I could apply liquid liner as well as her makeup artists! For colored eye shadow I really like what Blake Lively and Leighton Meester wear on Gossip Girl. And Lauren Luke on youtube has been a great source of makeup tutorials that I have tried out!

What is in your purse? Besides tons of papers, pens and all that stuff... I have 2 Burt's Bees chapsticks, a Mark. Juice Gems in fig, a Mark. Glow baby glow luxe lipgloss in petal, a Mark. Metallluscious lip gloss in Opulence and Proactiv Daily Oil control.

Guilty Pleasure: My Guilty Pleasure is anything on Bravo! Housewives of... flipping out, top chef project runway (I know it moved!) I love tv! And a pedicure! I LOOOOOVE pedicures!

Skin color, type and any special skin concerns: I have fair combination skin. I have awful break outs UNDER the skin which is a pain! I don't have the big red things but i can never get rid of the little bumps on my forehead! I am always looking for something to help!

Beauty inspiration: People who can do amazing makeup! I can do hair like there is no tomorrow but I am useless when it comes to make up! I would love to be able to do something great! But I'm just dumb when it comes to it!

What is in your purse? I never leave the house without the following essential items:
- MAC Studio Fix in NW25 - This is my ultimate foundation - the one and only of its kind that I have been completely 110% satisfied with since first opening its little shell pack that fateful day. This powder based foundation goes on lightly with a handy-sponge applicator that fits under the color shelf of the compact.  It has an in-built mirror for easy touch-ups throughout the day. I find it gives a lovely even and smooth coverage over my t-zone and blends perfectly with my complexion.  It covers imperfections with one swipe and gives a light minimal coverage look that lasts me all day.
- MAC Blot Powder in Medium - I can thank my Mother for my naturally oily skin.  Admittedly in 10 years I'll probably be singing her praises as a certain amount of natural oil tends to help reduce wrinkles developing but let me tell you I wasn't praising anyone for my oil slick face as a teen! Thankfully in my 20's I discovered MAC's Blot Powder in Medium - to match my skin tone. I apply this with a large fluffy brush over my t-zone whenever I feel that familiar 'shine' starting to develop. This powder goes on very sheer, allowing me to retain my light make-up look.  It soaks up the extra oil in a flash and turns my nose from shiny to matte in seconds.
MAC Lipstick - I have loads of these and tend to carry around the one I'm wearing on the particular day for touch-ups. I take in my empty MAC containers once I reach 6 and am given a free lipstick for my troubles!  Helps the environment and definitely keeps me in good supply of lovely colorful lips!
- Ipod - I take public transport in a bid to do my bit for the smog that envelopes our world and to help put some more physical activity in my day, so it's desperately important I take my Ipod everywhere I go.
- Wallet and many store cards - I'm the queen of bargain hunting.  If I can sign up for a loyalty card, rest assured I will! I have probably thirty in my wallet at any one time. They take up more space than my paltry student money these days!
