Friday Fun Find Gigi New York All In One Bag and a Special Offer

{Gigi New York All In One Bag, $98}

Can you believe Ive never owned a black bag before? I mean, big red hair, a loud mouth, and a general disregard for "blending in" dont exactly lend themselves to the understated. In my history of purse and bag ownership, Ive had hot pink, gold, bronze, tan, pony print, and even brown. So when I laid my eyes on this gorgeous clutch by Gigi New York, I decided if I was gonna class it up and get a black bag in my lifetime, now was the time.

Everything about this bag is special: the buttery yellow box it arrives in...

...the suede tassel and gold hardware zipper pull...

...the supple leather lining interior...

...the fact that it can be monogrammed--and match your nails!...

...and the fact that you can score 20% off your Gigi New York purchase with a special offer exclusive to CupcakesOMG! readers!!!!

Thats right folks, the "fine leatha goods" retailer is offering a 20% discount to all of you on any purchase at their website for the next 30 days! To take advantage, simply use the promo code "OMG" at checkout.

And this is why my new clutch is this weeks Friday Fun Find--and now its yours too!

So, what color clutch are you gonna get? And are you doing monogramming??

Friday Fun Find Sephora Pure Beige Eyeliner

{Sephora Nano Eyeliner, $5}

Ive heard that upon birth, your eyes are the size they will be the rest of your life. Like, they dont grow. Your face grows around them. I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is, I’m sure my mom suffered through many questions about her baby’s Japanimation-style eyes. Despite my freakishly small hands, I don’t suffer from the same diminutiveness on my face—my “big eyes” are one of the things I get complimented on the most. So the last thing I need is to make them look bigger, but does that stop me? NEVER! Which is why when I spotted this shimmery beige eyeliner at Sephora with my ~~little~~big eye, I had to have it.

Legend has it that beige and white liners used in the waterline of the eye can help open the eye and make it appear larger. As we’ve established, I don’t require help in this area, but I do want to look bright-eyed and bushytail, so my fellow wide-eyed ladies will be happy to know that it has the added benefit of doing that. I’ve been using it in my waterline, but I’m sure you could also use this on your top lashline to an ethereal, summery look. A bit of mascara, a little peachy blush on the apples of your cheeks and BAM, you’re in the murda bizness.

Friday Fun Find

Can I first point out how excited I am to have finally found a Friday blog feature ripe with alliteration (much like this very sentence)? I mean, in the world of blogging, a regular Friday feature is pretty much a must that Ive been avoiding for no better reason than I couldnt think of something else that started with "f." This is my brand, you guys...I gotta represent.

Now that Ive passed that hallmark, I can think of no better find in recent history than Sephora by O.P.I nail color drying drops at a steal for $4:

Im sure youve tried some kind of quick drying serum in the past--perhaps that spray can of mink oil that undoubtedly has no actual mink anything in it that your local nail salon pushes to try to get you out of the drying station as fast as possible, which actually doesnt bother you anyway since they got rid of the comfy seats and brought in backless stools to try and fit thrice as many people than the square footage actually allows in just ONE MORE attempt to make what should be your relaxing manicure a hellacious visit to a petri dish?!? Or maybe thats just me? Nevertheless, whatever quick drying techniques youve used before are now completely obsolete, thanks to this little potion.

After youve painted your nails, you use the eyedropper to drop one or two drops of the serum onto your wet nails. Theyre dry to the touch in one minute and completely dry in five.

{Essie polish in Mint Candy Apple, $8}

When I say "completely dry" I mean "make your bed, scratch your face, run your finger through your hair and nary a scratch or dent be made in your polish" dry.

I took this pictures about 45 seconds after I painted my nails, and still, not a single smudge on them.

Whats your latest fun find??
