Marilyn Monroe for MAC





With some of my dear girls in tow, we conquered the beautiful crowd at MAC on Robson 
last evening to see the buzz (not the Sara Rose type) on their latest release!
Champagne flowing,
makeup applications at every corner
a swarm of MAC goers from every corner of Vancouver.
Well done MAC on a great evening & some more wonderful products.

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth.
 But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your frends - 
they'll act like 
it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - 
they're your true best friends. 
Don't let go of them. 
Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. 
As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - 
actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because 
if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole 
and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. 
Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? 
So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, 
because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
Marilyn Monroe

Carrie Bradshaw Dreaming


"You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one." 

Well I know for a fact that I'm not! Pretty sure that after watching 6 seasons of Sex and the City about 3/4 of the female population took on one of the characters personas. 
Me?!
Well let's be honest here...
Carrie Bradshaw aka SJP
(I lust!)©
I understand I don't have her figure or her closet or live in Manhattan with Big but what I do have is an AMAZING career and some AMAZING news, that helps me feel a lil more Carrie Bradshaw-esk.
I...
Sara Rose,
am about to be an OFFICIAL published writer!

Bat those LASHES


Purchasing makeup has always had its perks to me, even since I was a young child. I remember my Aunt giving me her free bags with testers in it from Lancome, ummm dress up HEAVEN. I thought to myself, WOW when you grow up you get free goodie bags by just buying a perfume...now that's cool..you don't even have to attend a party!?! Well, now that I'm cool enough to purchase makeup, with a purpose, I get the goodies too! And thanks to Sephora, at my recent shop/splurge/IT'S FOR WORK I promise, I came across my new mascara of the moment.

My mini mascara tester that Sephora gave me for FREE has now got me addicted! Make Up For Ever's Smoky Lash is an amazingly ultra-pigmented, lengthening & volume enhancing mascara. It is (as far as I'm aware & google can tell me) is a Sephora exclusive product from Make Up For Ever. To purchase a regular size tube it goes for $25, which I would say is about an average price for a good mascara...smack dab between my FAV MAC False Lash & Lancome Hypnose.

Hopefully this helps some of you on a hunt for a new VOLUME building, LASH batting, Smoky eye mascara.

NYFW...I LUST©


Two NYFW seasons down and missing this one : (
   There will be more & until then I watch the trends & find some FAVS!
Just as I was Googling and browsing through Vogue.com tonight watching some videos I came across Tory Burch Spring 2013 show
                                                   hair & makeup.
      I LUST©

The clothes were somewhat in my eye of style but the team did well in completing the whole look. 
     Fishtail pigtails..yes please...(When will my hair every grow long enough) mixed with the 
fabulous no-makeup makeup look. Just delightful. 
But the Tory Burch collection is obviously just one of many stunning designers showing this season.
       Who's one of your FAV'S?
 Do you spot some of the upcoming trends?
