Kate Spade Wellesley Quinn Small; Red Bag Review ♥


I have recently been infatuated with everything Kate Spade. I give it all thanks to my beautiful Wellesley Planner. Once I got my planner, I wanted a purse to match. I have been very much over due with a new bag purchase so when I got my Christmas Bonus, I decided to splurge a bit and went straight on EBay. There are so many different varieties and colors of bags. I didn't want the same old boring black or neutral bags. When I saw it,  I was dead set on the Red Wellesley Quinn; small. So I BOUGHT IT.

It came in about 2 weeks ago and I have been using it ever since. I decided that I wouldn't be selfish and I'd share with you my thoughts on this beautiful bag.






First and foremost, the pictures do not do this bag justice. (I need a better blogging Camera). This bag is beautifully made. The first thing you notice is the bright gorgeous lacquer of Red! It is also very sturdy and strongly made. The feel of the leather is heavenly. The stitching is in white and gives the bag a classy look. The logo is the classic Kate Spade Logo and matches my planner to the T. It is precisely placed and the gold writing gives the bag an extra pop of pizzazz. The handles on the bag are also well built and strong and will outlast and outwit over use.

I have read many reviews, and they all say Kate Spade Bags last forever. The Kate Spade Wellesley Quinn bags come in a variety of colors, so if you're not interested in red you have the option of other color choices.

Bag Details!
11 1/2″ Wide x 9 1/2″ Height x 4 1/2″ Depth. Approx. 14″ handles with 7″ drop.
Open Top
3 Separate Pouches (Outside pouches are open & Middle Pouch is a divider with a Zipper)
2 Small Interior open Pockets
1 Interior Zipper Pocket
Made of Leather Specifically Boar skin
Removable and Adjustable Cross Body Strap
Hot Pink Interior (Kate Spade New York)


What I love about the bag?
Red is my favorite color.
The white stitching makes the bag look so elegant and classy.
I love that it is a box shape.
It is not a flimsy bag so the bag stays right side up on it's own.
Zippers through out the bag are smooth.
Perfect Size. It's not to big or to small.
Enough room without being bulky.
I can switch it from an arm bag to a cross body bag anytime.
The quality of the bag in amazing and the interior hot pink is a gorgeous color.
My Wellesley Planner matches the style and it fits perfectly in the bag. FAVORITE PART!

What I dislike about the bag?
The top of the bag is open. It's not a deal breaker for me, but if you are interested in purchasing this bag, please be aware. It is a bit annoying. As I was driving I had to hit the breaks and my bag lunged forward with everything that wasn't in any of the zipper pockets falling out.

Do I recommend it?
Absolutely. Other than the top being open, I love the bag. It's classy and elegant. It pairs well and adds an extra attractiveness to any outfit. The bag is gorgeous. At the time of the purchase, I ordered it on EBay for $160 with shipping and handling.

What's your favorite hand bag?

Ipsy Glam Bag Review: October 2015.


I joined Ipsy back in 2011 when it started. I had received all the bags from December 2011 through July 2013. Towards the beginning I was very fond of all the products that they were placing in the bag. By July of 2013, I wasn't into the glam bag anymore. A lot of the products that they were placing in the bags, were products that I would never used. I opted out and unsubscribed. Over the years, I've kept an eye on Ipsy and I like how much they have grown. They now have the quiz and you can update your style. Also my beauty preferences have matured. I thought I'd give Ipsy another shot and I re-subscribed for this month.


October 2015 Glambag Review: Alter Ego

Peter Lamas
Exfoliating Pumpkin Facial Scrub
I don't know how I feel about this product. To start off with, I am not a facial scrub type of girl and I dislike everything pumpkin. It did smell nice though and left my face feeling soft.
After reading some reviews? They were very mixed. Some loved the product, and others were on the fence like me.
Would I buy or recommend this product? Definitely not. It's just not my style.
 
tarte
Deluxe LipSurgence Skintuitive Lip Gloss in Energy
I really loved this product. I have very dry lips. I'm constantly putting on chapstick. This lasted me over 5 hours. Even after the lip gloss was gone, my lips felt moisturized and were very soft.
After reading reviews? A lot more positive reviews than nevegative. Most of the negative reviews were that they weren't fans of lip gloss, or it was to sticky.
Would I buy or recommend this product? Yes. Yess. Yesss.
 
 

Aromachology
Exotic & Spicy Eau de Parfum
I liked that it was a roll on perfume. The smell is ok. It's not the worst, but I like sweeter softer smells. The name does go with the smell. It is a strong fragrance. Perfect for night wear.
After reading reviews? Many would not buy this scent. They complained that it was more for older woman of age. I agree, but that does not mean I would never wear this.
Would I buy or recommend this product? Maybe. If it wasn't to expensive and sold just like the sample. I wouldn't wear this very often, but I would wear it.

BB Tinted Moist Crème SPF30
I am a big fan of Sunscreen and moisturizers. I am no big fan of concealer, foundation, cover up, or putting a ton of cake on my face. I was very pleased with this product. The color doesn't match my skin entirely but it is a nice alternative for moisturizer, sunscreen and cover up all together.
After reading reviews? This was a big hit with a lot of other Ipsy ladies. Most of the girls said the same thing. Great coverage and left their skin nice and soft.
Would I buy or recommend this product? I wouldn't buy it just because I don't use products like these but I would recommend it to other girls.
 
theBalm Cosmetics
Mary-Lou Manizer
Great shadow for highlighting and giving your eyes a little extra shimmer. Very subtle and gave my skin a soft glow. Loved this product.
After reading reviews? A lot of positive reviews. Got 4.5 stars out of 5. All the positive reviews said the same thing. Very light, but gives you that nice pop of a honey gold color. Very few negatives stated that they liked the color but it was to light and wished that they did not have to build on it.
Would I buy or recommend this product? Yes and yes. I loved the color and the shimmer. I also liked that it was a very soft hue and that it was not dramatic.
 
 
Overall I liked this months glambag. I wished there were more darker colors to represent the fall. Maybe I'll just update my quiz again. Did you receive the same products as me? What did you think of them? Did you receive anything different in your glam bag?
