Twinsie Love: Holy Grail Products

Hey everyone! 
Today I'm doing a collaborative post with Ashley from
www.a-dash-of-beauty.blogspot.com.
Ashley and I have so many similar interests, blogging included, that we thought it would be fun to start a series dedicated to anything that we both eventually become obsessed with... bringing out our twinsie magic. <3 So here is a list of our holy grail items that neither of us can live without.

Go on over to her blog and check her out, she's fantastic! Soon we will have a post on hers as well!


Any twinsie post has to start with this. 
Starbucks.
Blogging at starbucks <3
We go to Starbucks year round, but as the seasons change so does our regular drink orders. During the warmer months we go for the cool iced tea lemonades! Green tea lemonade for me, black tea lemonade for Ashley.

Blazers.
Blazers are obvioulsy a fashion staple but there is something about this specific blazer that we love so much. We got them together a couple years ago from Dynamite and we wear them non stop. Bonus, they have POCKETS! Mint green for Ashley, dusty rose for me!

Leather Jackets.

We were shopping in dynamite again just a week ago and we both fell in love (and fought over) this jacket. Luckily we both found one in our size. We now have to text each other to dibs on wearing it. It has such a classic silhouette that you can wear with practically anything. Ashley has it paired with an oversized blouse and scarf, and i paired it with my favourite maxi dress.

Kate Spade Earings.
 
Kate Spade FINALLY came to Edmonton!! We hit this up for the first time last week and we spent probably over an hour in there. The service is beyond anything we have ever witnessed in Edmonton. That store raises the bar for Edmonton customer service. We also befriended the manager (bonus). 
We decided (and fought over) these oversized gemstone earings because of how sparkly they are without looking like costume jewellery. They are so gorgeous and they add a little bit of glamor to the simplest outfit.

And now for everything else...


Femme by Boss.
I bought this perfume back in my cosmetic sales days and its been one of my favorites ever since. A few years ago Ashley was snooping my collection and she immediatly fell in love and bought it the next day. I wear it as a date night fragrance because i feel that it has a very strong and sexy scent. Ashley on the other hand finds it very light and wears it as an every day scent and has repurchased it twice already!

Michael Kors watches.
We both got watches the same year for christmas and let me just say.... best christmas ever. We were eyeing these bad boys for a very long time. I don't wear watches every day because of my job so when I get a fancy watch, i want it to stand out and have some bling. My watch has just that; its face is surrounded by gemstones and its definitely a statement piece. Ashley is lucky to have a job wear she can dress up every day (jealous) so she went with a very classic watch that she can dress up or dress down by pairing it with other pieces. 

Macadamia Oil.
Best hair oil ever. 

Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction.
If we could eat this, we would. We each have multiple back ups of this product just in case! I also triple layer it with lotion and perfume. 

Sigma Brushes.
We talked a bit out brushes back on our old combined blog so if you want to read that go ahead.

These brushes are so amazing. They are so dense and they pack product on like no brush can. No brush compares to these. Did I mention the price? They are only 16.00$ each and compared to a Mac foundation brush, its a no brainer... and sigma is better.

Christian Dior Creme de Rose.
This is our holy grail lip product. They live on our nightstand and never move. It is the perfect lip treatment before bed and our lips are so soft and moisturized when we wake up.

YSL lipsticks.
I just want to start with the packaging. YSL makes the most beautifully packaged lipsticks. The formula slides on like butter and the color pay off is amazing. My favorite is #13, a beautiful pink coral. Ashleys favorite is the sheer candy #2, a gorgeous every day melon colour. They also smell like mangos!

Bath and Body Works Candles.
We talk about these so much and its easy to say we are both obsessed. We each probably have over 30 stashed away at all times. Our favourite spring/summer scents are farmstead apple and market peach... but nothing beats Leaves in the fall <3 <3 <3

Twinsie Love.
