Style: What's in my bag?

First of HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LOVIES!! Alright so if any of you watch beauty guru videos on youtube then you've must've seen or at least heard of a 'What's in my bag tag?' Well today I'm doing a blog post of what's in my bag! It's been requested so I thought why not do it today. With out any further ado, What's in my bag:


Okay so first off my bag is a black leather Michael Kors purse, I honestly have no clue the name of it but it has gold hard wear. Then on the top left hand corner is my Micheal Kors black and gold carryall wallet I got for christmas. Below that I have some travel sized pink sparkling champagne  hand sanitizer from B&BW. Then below that I have my makeup essentials a sample size of the Benefit 'They're Real!' mascara, maybelline dream matte powder in 'sand', then next to that I have my baby lips lip balm in 'peppermint'. Now going above that is my cheap $10 sunglasses that I have no clue where I got from but love. Beside that is a travel size of the Victoria's Secret 'tease' perfume. Then above that I have a True Blu mini hand lotion, some Quo blotting tissues, my little travel sized manicure on the go kit, some hair elastics and bobbi pins and my white Victoria's Secret Makeup bag.  Obviously my phone goes in here as well but I was using it to take the photo. 

Hope you enjoyed this little v-day bag post! 


*Disclaimer: in no way am I trying to brag about what I have someone wanted me to do this post so I did. Thanks :)

DIY: Iced Caramel Macchiato

Who else here is a Starbucks addict? Well if you are then you know how pricy it can get! Have no fear cause I'm here to help. One of my favorite drinks from the ever beloved starbucks menu is their iced caramel macchiato. These drinks are just so delicious, the recipe I have provided you taste just like the original. Now with this recipe you can make it at home for yourself.



What you'll need:
- a glass, any size will do, I prefer a tall one though.
- espresso, either from a tassimo, keurig, or any other speciality coffee maker.
- 1% milk
- caramel sause
- ice
- straw

Step by Step:
1. Take your glass and add 3-4 ice cubes depending on the size of your glass.
2. Fill your glass with milk leaving about 1 ½ - 2 inches of space on the top.
3. Make your espresso shot and put it in your glass.
4. Add a drizzle (or as much as you desire) of caramel sauce.
5. Add a straw and there you have an extremely simple but delicious Starbucks drink made in the comfort of your own home! Enjoy!

Organization: Makeup!

Welcome and hello to 2014! This is my first post of the new year! Alright everyone so today I got myself a new makeup organizer and I just HAD to make an organization post on it today. It is honestly the most amazing thing I've found for keeping my most used makeup organized and still looks good. The product I bought was the GODMORGON box with compartments from IKEA. This little baby is the HOLY GRAIL. Take a look at it in my photo below.


The PERFECT makeup organizer. 

Alright so now after you've ooled at my gorgeous makeup display I'll lay it out for you what is in each compartment. 

At the top left hand corner I have all my lip sticks organized and a couple lip glosses. Next to that I have my powder, foundation, primer, lip scrub and two of my beloved baby lips lip balms. Next to that I have my bronzer, blush, eyeliner sharpener and some sample sizes of Victoria Secret's perfume. Now the next part is so cool. There is a top part with five slots that come off and then a big empty space. In the empty space I have my eyeshadows: Naked 2 pallet, my Vice 2 pallet, Mac pallet, Chanel pallet, and a single rose gold lancôme eyeshadow pod. Okay so now on the pull off part I have in the first slot my concealer and my urban decay eyeshadow primer. Next to that I have two maybelline mascaras. Then I have all my eyeliners and an eyelash primer. Then in the next slot I have all 5 of my NYX matte lip creams. And last but not least I have 9 Stila lip glazes. 

That's all folks my entire GODMORGAN makeup organizer. Seriously if you don't have this already you need to get it.

Trend: Mid Rings

Hey hey! I know it's been about a week or so since I've last posted, but I've been just so busy. But have no fear a new post is here! Today I decided I would show off one of my favorite jewellery trends of the season. That is mid rings! I'm absolutely in love with these adorable dainty rings.



Look how cool they are! The 3 thin gold ones (on my pinky & middle finger) come in a pack of 12 in two sizes (small & large) and they were $10.00 and the two other rings came in two-packs for $8.00 a pair. I've had so many complements on these gorgeous rings I highly recommend going out and buying some. They are my favorite trend this year! 


*If you have mid-rings or go out and buy some send me a picture on Twitter @Dream_inStyle and I'll Retweet you!
