So I am collaborating with the Glossier to bring you today's post. They wanted to know what my natural/minimalist beauty favorites are that I use when I want to look natural or have a minimal makeup day. Below you will find my purse favorites that I keep on hand every day.
The bag: I'm always on the look out for ways to re-purpose tiny makeup bags that I get from subcription boxes. One of my favorite things to do is to use my old Ipsy bags as mini makeup bags that I can toss in a school bag or purse. This method helps me stay organized and have the ability to contain a spill if one of my products leaks or breaks.
L'Occitane hand cream: I LOVE this stuff. The super small size is easy to carry on the go and it keeps my hands hydrated through out the day which is perfect for me since I frequently get dry hands from lab chemicals at work and frequent nail painting.
NYX blotting sheets: I tend to rotate all the different types of blotting sheets NYX has throughout my various purses depending on my skin at the moment. I have oily skin most of the time, and these sheets help absorb the excess oil while helping keep my foundation in place. Alternatively, in the summers when I don't have a foundation, they keep me from looking like a walking oil slick in the desert heat.
Marc Jacobs Daisy and Diptique Volutes: I always have a few perfume samples in my bag or a roller ball. After work, riding public transportation in the summer heat can get smelly and disgusting. I like knowing that I smell good despite the heat. Personally, I hate rollerball applications and wish everything came with a spray nozzle, but since Daisy didn't have that option, I carry the rollerball.
Clinique All About Eyes Depuffing Serum: I have the sample size and it's running out. Time to get a new one! This stuff is amazing. It helps depuff tired eyes and I use it whenever I've had a long night or just need a refresher. It's also great when I'm on a plane and need to hydrate my under eye area.
Burts Bees lip balm: Drinking coffee chaps my lips severely so I cannot last the day without applying a lip balm to my lips. This one is my current favorite after my EOS lip balms left me with chipped cracking lips.
Tic Tac mints: Lots of coffee can make a girl's breath smell NASTY!!! I keep these mints on hand so I can pop one in my mouth before a meeting for fresh breath or when I just want to reach for a nice piece of candy/gum. This particular kind is the peach + lemonade flavor.
What are some of your everyday natural must haves?
