Don't you just envy your friends who have the perfect makeup bag? Besides the fact that it contains the best beauty products on the market, its usually the most fashionable one available (usually decorated with girly things such as cute shoes and brightly colored in hues of orange, yellow and pink). Additionally, she keeps it so clean it hardly looked used at all, as opposed to my dirty ziploc bag or the old pencil box I found in my daughter's notebook. Mine was full of broken compact cases, a mirror from the top of one of the broken compacts, the sides were coated in bronzer, and nothing that was actually useful. Well except for some q-tips I used to dig the leftover lip color out of my old container of lip-gloss. My friend's bag is not only adorable but inside she keeps the coolest beauty finds ever. I discovered her bag of tricks one night when we were out and I was wearing a low-cut dress that I was so self-conscious in. I was just sure that I'd have a wardrobe malfunction and the girls might fall out. I mentioned my worries when she and I took a bathroom break at the restaurant. She proudly said I can take care of that and pulled out the treasure chest. She pulled out boob tape and within seconds the girls were secure! The next thing I know we're looking in the mirror freshening up our make-up and the great hits just kept a comin.' Finally I said, "let me look in that bag." I was absolutely amazed with the content. That night changed my life. My purse is now so organized and I too carry the best beauty bag in town!

 Here's what I now carry in my precious cargo bag!

To quickly curl my lashes I use the Talika Mini Eyelash Curler. Within in a few seconds my eyes look great. It costs a little more than most of the traditional eyelash curlers but works much better and its tiny so it hardly takes up a half-dollar sized space in your makeup bag.

You can’t be without Toleriane Eye Makeup Remover Ampoules. Just take a cotton ball and swab eye makeup away. Single use ampoules make travel easy.

Never be without L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand and Foot Cream. It’s the most emollient and effective creamy balm on the market.

One of the most important things you need in tow, is a quick fix to clean your teeth and freshen your breath. Take a look at Supersmile Professional Whitening Gum.

Illuminate your skin on the fly with Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerly Body Shimmer Powder. It’s glamour ala carte right in your make-up bag! Truth be told all Molton Brown products will make you look and feel glamorous!

Never leave the house without crucial implements such as tweezers and fingernail file. Check out Tweezerman Travel Size Beauty Kit. These quality, professional tools are included in this kit with other important implements as well.

And lastly my absolute favorite “must-have” is Stila Cherry Crush. This multi-tasker  stains your lips and cheeks so you’re never without rosy cheeks and dazzling lips
