How cute is this makeup bag! Now that life is going back to normal post-pandemic, we are all wearing makeup again, traveling, and needing to ensure our lives are organized. One of the big things that helps keep things organized is a fabulous makeup bag!

When we were walking around in masks, I didn’t need to wear anything other than nail polish and eye liner. After all, no-one could see my face! Now that we have shed masks in most situations, I am back to wearing blush, foundation powder and lipstick. My old makeup bag was in need of replacement, so when KUSSHI reached out about their covering their makeup bag, I jumped at the chance!

KUSSHI has so many makeup bag and storage options on their website, it makes it hard to pick just one item! I kept things simple and went with their classic Signature makeup bag plus organizer. This makeup bag is more than perfect for my small makeup collection. Looking back, I could have gone with their smaller Everyday bag size, but having the larger bag is good for travel. When I travel, I can add my face cream, eye cream, neck cream, toothbrush, toothpaste, and sunscreen to the bag with some room to spare. It’s a great size!

In addition to being roomy inside, there is also a zipper pocket, which I plan to use for bandaids and spare earrings when I travel. The organizer snaps right in, keeping my brushes clean and organized. This is a great bag to use every day, as well as for travel. You will see me use it later this fall season for a couple of trips! Love that!

As you can see, my everyday makeup consists of eyeliner, an eye shadow quad, foundation powder, lipstick, and blush. I have two brushes, one for my blush and one for my foundation powder. I keep things fairly simple. This leaves plenty of room in my makeup bag for adding skin care when I travel. Love!

The KUSSHI Signature Makeup Bag plus organizer is made from a strong yet soft-to-the-touch satin. The satin is easy to clean with a wet cloth if makeup accidently gets on the fabric. There are two pockets inside plus a zipper pocket. These pockets are ideal for smaller items such as lipstick. The organizer snaps right in, keeping my eyeline and brushes easy to find, clean, and organized. In addition, there are two exterior zippers which make getting in and out of the bag easy. Love that!

I chose the black exterior with teal interior, but there are several other color choices to fit your taste. Definitely check out the KUSSHI Signature Makeup Bag on their website to see all the beautiful color combos! Also, check out all of the other sizes and products for makeup storage. You will love it!

Fall 2022 nail polish trends

August 29, 2022 in Beauty / Nail Polish / Trends tagged chanel nail polish / dior / fall 2022 by Bay Area Fashionista

Fall 2022 nail polish trends from top left: Neutrals: brown / nude / beige-rose (neutral & berry) / Berries: red / dark rose / burgundy /

The fall 2022 nail polish trends are quite simple: neutrals and berries. That’s it! This fall season, we can wear any shade of berry, or any neutral hue. It’s a great season for classic nail polish hues which offer traditional autumn colors. Love!

Now you have to ask yourself, are you a neutral girl? Or are you a berry girl? That is the biggest question! Of course, I cannot answer that, I believe I am both! haha

When looking at neutral nail polish colors for the fall 2022 season, look for anything from a pale nude hue to shades of brown and beige hues with rose tints. You can contrast your skin color or match it closely. It’s up to you! I plan to contrast my skin color.

Now, if you are more of a berry nail polish fan, you’re in luck! There are beautiful rose hues, classic reds, and shades of dark burgundy. You can be vampy with a dark nail polish, classic with red, or soft with a rose. It’s up to you!

If you work in an office environment that is conservative, I would stick with a shade of rose or go neutral. Bright red or vampy hues could be too much in a conservative office. It’s better to stay safe in an office environment.

Chanel nail polish fall 2022 review

August 17, 2022 in Beauty / Nail Polish tagged chanel / chanel nail polish / fall 2022 / reviews by Bay Area Fashionista

Chanel nail polish fall 2022 collection pictured from left: Chanel Emotion / Chanel Enigme / Chanel Spontane / Chanel Harmonie /

The fall 2022 Chanel nail polish collection is here, and the collection is huge! There are twelve, yes, twelve colors in the Chanel nail polish collection for the fall 2022 season. This collection is filled with varying neutral hues as well as berries hues. There is a classic nail polish shade from Chanel for the fall 2022 season for everyone in this collection.

For the record, I purchase every bottle of Chanel nail polish that I show on this blog. Therefore, I was not able to purchase all twelve shades from the fall 2022 collection. I would never wear all of that nail polish, so not only is it pricey, but it would also be wasteful. Instead, I chose a few colors from the collection to show you, which I knew I would wear.

All of the colors in this collection are beautiful, and Chanel is fairly consistent with being chip resistant, so despite not testing out all of the colors, I can assure you they should all be long lasting with one base coat, two coats of color, and a top coat. All twelve colors are cream polishes. The colors I tested applied smoothly without streaking in two coats. Love that!

The fall 2022 season is all about quiet luxury. We are moving into a season of minimalism where neutral hues and traditional autumn colors are king. Logos are over, and quality is in. This season, look for investment pieces which can build your wardrobe rather than trendy, one-season items. This is a simple season with a little bit of flair, so classic nails are a must. If neutral nails aren’t your thing, shades of red and berry hues will do just fine. Both color wheels are hot for fall! Love!

So, without further ado, here are the nail polish colors from the Chanel fall 2022 nail polish collection I purchased and photographed for you. Which color is your favorite?
