Kate is a blogging pal that I’ve been lucky enough to have turn into an IRL friend!! Read on as she blames me for some purchases 🙂
Good Morning B~Loved Boston readers, my name is Kate and you can find me over at Green Fashionista where
I blog about fashion and beauty reviews, weekend shenanigans,
and my all time favorite hobby – traveling. I know this is a hobby that Biana and I both share, and I can’t wait to see pics from the amazing trip she and Gary are on where they’re soaking up all the beauty and culture.
Biana has introduced us all to some fabulous products and chic inspirations over the past few years, and I definitely sent some of my Blogger Blame Purchases love over to her {Part II found here}. So today, I wanted to round up all of my favorite products that I purchased after hearing her rave about them.
NARS Creamy Concealer – I had been a huge fan of Benefit’s Erase Paste for several years to
cover up my hereditary dark circles under my eyes and any acne marks,
but Biana kept raving about this concealer so I gave it a whirl. And of
course she was right, this is definitely my go-to concealer now. I
love the consistency better and that it has a built in wand.
Evian Facial Spray – Between the FL heat and my love for travel, this spray helps combat those warm days or long inter-continental plane rides. I always feel so grimy after a long flight, and these sprays are the perfect anecdote and are quite refreshing. I’m sure Biana packed this for her long flights and the warm weather in India.
MoroccanOil Dry Shampoo – I tend to switch up my dry shampoos every once in a while, as I tend to get an aversion to the smell after wearing them for a while. I’m still loving DryBar’s Triple Sec as well, but was sold on the MoroccanOil one after Biana talked about the great scent and how it doesn’t leave a residue in your hair especially for us brunettes. Win-win!
Sofia Blanc de Blancs Minis – My love for bubbly is no secret, and I love the convenience of these pretty little cans that can be found at Target during your usual trip. The packaging is too pretty to pass up, and how cute are those little straws they come with so you won’t mess up your lipstick?
Barre Classes – Biana did a great comparison review of Pure Barre and Bar Method here which inspired me to try out Bar Method after taking several Barre3 classes. I was excited to see what the difference was between the two studios, and was surprised that as similar as they are that they are also very different which I compared here. I can honestly say I truly love both workouts, and can’t seem to pick a favorite.
Benefit’s Watt’s Up – I’m always trying to achieve that amazing “J-Lo Glow”, and have a lot of favorite highlighters in my makeup collection. But when Biana recommended this creamy highlighter that can be applied using your fingers, I was intrigued. I’m a huge fan of Benefit products, and have yet to try one that I didn’t love. Another amazing product!
Pic-Tap-Go App – I don’t have the best natural light in certain spots in my house, so when Biana suggested downloading this app for just a few dollars I knew it’d help improve a lot of my photos. Because let’s be real, most of us snap most of our pics on our phones. Ain’t nobody got time to lug around the fancy camera for everything.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Perfume – My signature scent in college was this perfume, and I forgot how much I loved it until she posted about it being one of her perfume staples. D&G’s Light Blue is one of those classic scents that will never go out of style.

Can’t wait to return to Boston for more drinks with fabulous views of the harbor with this girl! Until then, cheers!
That NARS concealer is the best! That Evian spray saved us from the ridiculous heat in Charleston! And lets not forget the Sofia cans! The best thing ever for your bar cart! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
I love this blog post idea! So many fun items listed. I have never actually tried the Sofia cans, but they may be added to my next Target run!
Light Blue has always been my signature perfume too! I LOVE this post, cracks me up as I blame bloggers for many of my purchases as well, lol.
I have the Bobbi brown version of the Nars coverup.. It's amazing!

So many good things!! I need to try that Evian spray, it sounds awesome! And the Sofia minis are one of my favorite things ever! They taste good and makes drinking champs that much easier 😉
I love those Evian sprays. In the summer, I always have one in my bag. I so need that app as I take most of my pictures on my phone. I have not heard about it before.
You two are so cute in the last pic! And loving these suggestions- need to DL the Pic Tap Go app STAT!

I've always wanted to try those Evian sprays – everyone seems to love them!
I love everything here! I swear by that concealer and highlighter, love mini Sofias (except they don't sell them in Target here boo!) and Pic Tap Go is the best!!
I need to give the NARS concealer a go! I love Watts Up, such a beautiful highlight! Ever since Biana mentioned Pic Tap Go, I instantly downloaded and use it SO much! It's a great app! Hope you have a fabulous day, Kate! And I hope Biana is enjoying her time away!

Barre classes are the best. As is champagne in a can! Great guest post!
Biana always has some of the best recommendations! I have a sample of the Watts Up from Benefit, and I'm thinking that I need to try it out soon. I'm also fully planning on grabbing some of those Evian bottles before our trip to Europe!
I always trust B's recommendations and the sofia minis are NO exception!!! Make today work, Rachel -CubicleCouture
I am going to try that app! Thanks for the recommendations.

I LOVE Evian facial spray… I keep a bottle in my beach bag for laying out by the pool. It really does refresh and rejuvenate you when you're hot and sticky from laying in the sun all day!
What a fun take over!!! You are adorable!! I love using Pic-tap-go. It is crucial. I literally use it for all of my insta pics.

love Watt's Up!
Love this blog take over! Biana has definitely influenced several of my purchases too! 🙂
This is adorable – I always love hearing of bloggers becoming IRL friends! Biana is definitely guilty of making many of us buy products that she loves – D&G Light Blue is one of my all-time favorite perfumes, and I'm also a huge fan of the Evian spray. I need to download that pic app!
Blogging has totally made me purchase so many things – haha! I still really want to try that Evian spray!
I can blame Biana on some of the purchases I've made too :-p These are some that I've wanted to try but haven't yet! Love both of you gals!
So many great products! B always has great product reviews as you do too! I love the evian spray and watts up highlighters….need to try the Nars concealer next time!
That concealer has been on my lust list for a while now… I've heard nothing but great things about it!
I need to try that lighting app! So cool!

I need some NARS in my life. For real and I had never heard of that evian facial spray. What the what! Looks amazing!
Just started using that Nars creamy concealer – I was talked into buying it when I just went to the Nars counter for lipstick…but I LOVE it! Such a great buy!
This is such a cool idea for a post, I loved it! 🙂

haha love this! i swear my last 100 purchases were because of other bloggers. i need to try that concealer, i've been saying it for ages but i'm afraid to buy it and then love it lol. will have to check out that app as well!
I instantly downloaded Pictapgo and got my bestie and husband to download it too! Amazing the difference it makes. I need to grab that dry shampoo. Crazy how many things we all buy because of each other 🙂
Ohh you just reminded me how much I used to love Watts Up! I've been so tempted by that concealer and I am going to put that dry shampoo on my list to try soon!
I love this so much! I tried so many of the same products because of Biana! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
