Now I'm Really Twirling

I mentioned here, that I've been completely taken with Twirl. So, as quickly as my sample ran out, I marched myself into the nearest Kate Spade store to purchase a real bottle. Along with my new favorite scent, a couple of other things made it into my bag! :D
First of all, I'm dying for the pink and red packaging! I know I've said before, that pink and red is my favorite color combo, but add gold to the mix and I'm extra happy! I couldn't wait to give myself a little spritz, and upon opening the box, I saw this.
So fun!
I bought the smaller size because I normally don't wear a lot of fragrance, but now wish I would've gone big! I love it that much!
Something happened to me this year, as I've become increasingly addicted to cocktail rings. Once I laid eyes on this little pretty, there was no way that I was leaving it behind! 
I couldn't escape the store without trying on "the perfect red" lipstick, and to see if it truly was perfect. And, guess what...it was!
The retro gold case makes putting on lipstick so much more glamorous! I can't wait to pull this out of my vintage black clutch!
Kate Spade got it right, with the exact blue/orange ratio that meets in the middle. This "perfect red" is universally flattering on every skin tone!
If you're at all apprehensive about wearing red lipstick, this is the one to try!

  1. Lucky girl! I went into Macy's the other day because I saw online that they sell Twirl, but when I went into the store they said they didn't have it. So I have yet to try it out, but I want to so much!
    I love the packaging!
    And that ring is so adorable!
    I hope you had a great weekend, Bren! :)

  4. I love the packaging - so cute! I love that ring too, I have a cocktail ring obsession. I'm trying to work up the nerve to do red lips, I bought a red YSL Rouge Volupte a few weeks ago but its still sitting in my vanity. I have a fear of red lips I guess!

    Bren, you KNOW if we lived close I would SO be begging you do to my makeup for Halloween! That would be beyond fabulous :)

    And that ring! You *know* how much I love a good cocktail ring!

  13. Bren, that ring is adorable! I'm also obsessed with cocktail rings right now. And the perfect red really does look perfect! I remember putting on my grandma's lipstick when I was little and they all looked just like that with the gold case. So glamorous and fun!

  17. Your favorable review. The gorgeous packaging. Sigh. I'm sold. I totally want to try that perfume now and also get the lipstick. I have a strange skin tone (tannish..ish?) and have yet to find a red that looks good on me. This would be fun to try! xo

  22. I know - isn't KS packaging the best?? I ordered a ring from them recently and it came in that same purple, red, and gold box. I loved it so much I want to keep it! Not sure what I'm going to do with it, but can't bring myself to throw it away ;)
