Handwritten font - 6PM

Hi there,
I've always had a fascination with fonts, especially handwritten ones. Similar to my previous 5PM font, this was made around 6PM and finished right before 7.

Making my own font has always been a lot of fun so there it is, my 6PM font that is free for download

It's a quick fun font! I hope everyone has fun with it!

All for now,

What's In My Bag - GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag

A few months ago, I decided to purchase the Gucci GG Marmont Matelassé Mini Bag.
The bag retails at $980 which when deciding between this bag and the Gucci Disco bag that retails at $1190, I decided to go with this one. With Gucci seemingly raising the prices (The Gucci Disco bag was $980 when I saw it for the very first time), I had to get it quick - or that was my reasoning to make sure I got it lol.

The bag comes in multiple sizes and because I was in need of a smaller black bag that I would wear with leggings - let's face it, I mostly wear leggings so black was a must need color in my closet. I'm not quite sure why I don't have that many black bags.
Seeing all the bloggers and influencers get this bag ages ago, I was a bit behind trend but I needed a staple for my closet more than just to follow whatever trend was going on.

The description on Gucci's website is: 'The mini GG Marmont chain shoulder bag has a softly structured shape and a zip top closure with Double G hardware. The chain shoulder strap has a leather shoulder detail. Made in matelassé leather with a chevron design and GG on the back.'

Honestly, if I knew how much I would be using this bag, I would've bought it right when it came out.
I have been using this bag almost EVERY SINGLE DAY ever since I bought it - Louis Vuitton who? JK - but really though...

So I thought it would be necessary to show what's in my bag every day, in a way, also showing what fits in this tiny bag.

It's safe to say my essentials fit perfectly in this bag. However when I add my phone in, it's a big of a snug but it can still be closed without having to force it in.

My wallet - Louis Vuitton Monogram Pocket Organizer which I may or may not have bought just to fit this bag. Oops. Honestly this wallet is under the men's category which I hate because I think it's more of a unisex wallet. All my cards fit perfectly inside and closes nicely without having to unzip or button anything. You can just flip it open and pull out your cards. 

My keys - LV Upside Down Illustré Bag Charm and Key Holder. The key chain is more of a bag charm - also under the men's category. I guess when it comes to smaller accessorizes, they list it all under the men's? lol. Well it's pretty big which was perfect for people who tend to leave their keys just about everywhere, it's perfect to just reach in a bag and grab it right out. I joke that I could probably put a cocktail on it since it's the size of a coaster.

My sunglasses - Gucci 57mm Square Sunglasses. Last season Gucci was hitting all the right notes with every single one of their products. Honestly being from someone who owns nothing from them to wanting everything from their collections, they've done an amazing job! These cover up my whole face which is perfect for anyday and with Houston's sun, I need it! (The prices seem to keep bumping up for these too)






My Perfume - Commodity's Mimosa 
My all time favorite brand Commodity truly comes out with the best scents. I love the smell of oranges and honestly who doesn't like mimosas? If you're not sure about the scents, they have testers that you can purchase before committing to a full or travel size bottle but honestly, I love all their scents so it's hard to pick just one, believe me.
This goes with my everywhere and just a few spray lasts forever, having me smell like oranges - in the best way.






My lipbalm - Smith's Strawberry Lip balm. OMG. One of the best lipbalms hands down. They come in tubes like this or little tin cans that you can apply with your finger. Personally, this fits me so much better since it's easy and fast. The smell is amazing and it makes your lips heavenly soft. I mean who can complain when your lips smells and tastes like strawberries?

Everything fits in perfectly with a bit of room to spare

I'm definately more of a dress as casual as possible type of person so if this bag can go with everything from leggings and sneakers to dresses and heels, it's an amazing investment. The bag to me also isn't tacky in a way that it shows off the brand just enough. I've never really been a huge fan of chains on bags hence why all my bags are leather straps but for some reason, the amount of chain on this one gives it a nice pop so you can dress up or down with it.

Sephora PLAY! LUXE Vol. 1 Review

As a monthly subcriber of the Sephora Play! Subcription box. I just had to get every special edition of the play box as it’s released.

The PLAY! LUXE box came out 2 days ago and you could get early access through their Sephora app. Being a Rouge gives me free 2 day shipping and because the LUXE edition was $25, I was able to get a deluxe sample along with my order.

I placed my order and got the package in the mail today, exactly 2 days after. Honestly now, 2 days seems like a life time compared to before when you had to wait 5-7 business days just to receive a package - oh I do not miss those times.

Since the products in all Sephora PLAY! boxes are supposed to be a secret. If you bought this box and want to be surprised by what's inside, stop reading now! 

This is my honest review as I paid for this LUXE edition.

The PLAY! LUXE comes in a pink faux leather pouch. Much like jewelry carriers, there’s a string to wrap around it which isn’t exactly the most secure way to close something but it holds it together.

Shiny pink faux leather pouch

 The PLAY! LUXE box includes:

•  Giorgio Armani makeup product
•  Guerlain makeup product
•  Yves Saint Laurent makeup product
•  La Mer skincare product
•  SK-II Skincare product
•  Atelier Cologne fragrance
•  Special-edition beauty bag
•  Collectible set of cards

So let's start with the Giorgio Armani Makeup product.

It's the Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara (Link to product)

I myself am a huge Giorgio Armani makeup fan and I die for their cc cream. This mascara was pretty amazing. I don't have long lashes so I can't say it made my lashes longer but it certainly went on well as it didn't clump together and the brush glides on softly.

Next is the Guerlain makeup product - Guerlain L'Or Radiance Primer (Link to product)

Who said diamonds are a girl's best friend? In this case, gold definitely is a girl's best friend. This tiny sample really had me falling in love with the brand. The primer is luxurious even down to the price point as a full size of this baby will cost you a good $74 - but you get what you pay for in some cases. The primer is lightweight and will make you look radiant -  I mean you should, for that price?!

Yves Saint Laurent makeup product - Yves Saint Laurent Plump Up Glossy Stain (Link to product)

I've been a bit spoiled when it comes to lipstick ever since I found out about lipstick that lasts forever but I do appreciate a good red lip gloss when I see one. I love Yves Saint Laurent's packaging and I think we can all agree that this tiny container of lipgloss sample might last you longer than you'll think. The formula goes on smoothly and the red is a bright red, perfect for a night out during summer.


La Mer skincare product - La Mer The Eye Concentrate (Link to product)

La Mer products are notoriously expensive in the skincare world. I bought their full line one time and it cost me more than I would like to mention. I ended up not falling in love with their products and gave it to my mom who loves and swears by it. I think age might have a factor to do with how well their products work for you. This eye concentrate if you buy the full size will come with a little applicator that works really well for eye wrinkles. However, with this sample, you'll have to make do with just your finger.


SK-II skincare product - SK-II R.N.A Power Radical New Age Cream (Link to product)

Much like La Mer, SK-II prices are also high so this would be a great sample to try out the product before you spend your money getting a full sized one. You only need a tiny bit of product to cover your entire face so this sample isn't too crazily tiny. I think it's super moisturizing but again, because I have acne prone skin, I have been scared to try out new products because being so sensitive, I've broken out due to SK-II products before. However, my mom loves this brand and many ladies I know swear it makes their skin look more radiant.


Atelier Cologne - Iris Rebelle (Link to product)

To be completely honest, this is probably my least favorite item in the box. I like the packaging of this brand but the smell itself is too musky for me and it reminds me more of moss and grass than it does of iris. 

The PLAY! LUXE package also comes with cards explaining each product and not really sure how collectible it would be - more of a clutter to me but it's still a nice luxe touch to the package.

The item itself is sold out on Sephora but if you get a chance, here is the link to it and it's $25 + tax, free shipping if you have rouge and you can also get another deluxe sample that offer with $25 purchases. So it's like getting 7 deluxe samples ;)

However, if it really is sold out, I wouldn't say you're missing out on much.

All for now,
