Burberry Thomas Bear -Blush Pink-

My Christmas present to mysef!

My very first Burberry piece and definitely not my last.  I am officially hooked. 

I love this little bear its just precious and the color is just a lovely pink. 

There are three pinks this season a hot pink, this one in blush pink and a very light pink in ash pink. 

I totally wanted the ash pink however its sold out! 

wahhhhhh ( yes i cry cry cry)

These retail for 150 US dollars + tax.  Of course there are a ton other color but as you may or may not know i am partial to pink.  

The body of the bear is made of 100% cashmere with with leather and polyamide trims.  

I must add that the clip is a bit narrow and will not fit over a larger surface.

Tom Ford Lip color matte in Plum Lush swatch

dont mind my dark circles

I finally got the courage to purchase a Tom Ford Lipstick.  These are expensive they retail for 52 US dollars and honestly i dont see what the big whoop is...

I chose the color Plum Lush, a matte berry color.  It feels nice and comfortable but its not matte by any means more like a satin.

Will i purchase any others? that depends.

NYBG Train Show at Night 2015

Once again its that time of the year... The New York Botanical Garden's annual train show 2015.  This year i decided to go towards night time to check it out and boy its a completely different experience.  Its absolutely beautiful!

The advantage of going during the day is that you can access more of the park, there are way more activities, carolers and food goodies still available in the food shops.  However its very rare being at the garden during the night and it completely transforms with all the beautiful lights.  There is a creepy awesomeness about it.

There are a few things i feel obligated to mention because for the very time i experineced really bad customer service at the garden.
   1.  The prices shown online are NOT the prices you will be expected to pay.  During the holiday train show they bump up the prices for everyone to 28 US Dollars.
   2.  If you are a member you can NOT use your guest passes.  So please do not gift them to anyone they will not be honored and the managers will NOT extend any courtesys.  I had the NOT pleasure of meeting a manager Alexis Davis.  Sheesh she was so condescending yuck.

Anyways i hope these photos help you get into the spirit of holiday.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS

Tiffany & Company coin purse in Tiffany Blue

TIFFANY BLUE

If you have wanted a high end luxury coin purse this one is just lovely.  The Louis Vuitton coin purse currently retails for 260 US dollars + tax.  The Hermes Bastia coin holder if im not mistaken retails for 225 US dollars + tax.  Do not fret this beautiful classic Tiffany piece currently retails for 100 US dollars + tax.  

That may seem like a ton of money for a coin purse and it is! There is no denying that HOWEVER this post is for those of you who are luxury small leather goods collectors OR you want to make a really nice gift.  This will not disappoint. 

Its a coated leather so it holds it shape.  The mouth opens wide enough to see and reach in for you coins and the silver lining is just MUAH perfection.

Make Up For Ever Shade I-824 and I-606

December 5, 2015

Sephora sent out 25 dollars off 50 or more on Dec 2nd.  So of course i took advantage of it.  Ive been wanting to check out MAKE UP FOR EVER shadows.  I own one i will link it here --->Make Up For Ever shade I-524
but i wanted to try more.  So i picked up these two shades.  I find these really hard to blend out! ugh.  Especially the burgundy I-824.  Though they are both really pigmented when swatched but work differently when on the lids.
