Desk Essentials

I wrote last week {here} about how I have a desk job where I’m...well...sitting at a desk all day.

I’m still on the hunt for cute accessories to brighten up my work space but until then I thought it might be fun to mention my “necessities” as far as beauty is concerned. I interact with lots of different people on a daily basis and because of that, I try to look presentable. In fact I think it’s more of a  conscious choice than anything else. Basically it’s a “want to" as opposed to a “have”to".

Above you’ll see what I have in my desk drawer at all times kept in a little bag. I broke it down into a few categories because let’s face it, I like a little organization, colorful fonts and labeling anything.

So let’s break it down, shall we?!

1. Lips:  

I’m going to be all kinds of real with you right now, I have an obsession. I own around 40-50+ lip products. Some people collect cards or salt and pepper shakers, I just so happen to collect lip stick!

- Rimmel Moisture Renew  in Vintage Pink

- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Afterglow

-Exude Lip Crème in Nude

-L’Oreal Color Riche BALM in Heavenly Berry

2. Hair: 

It’s a rarity that I put my hair in a ponytail at work, but if I do, I like to keep a few hair ties handy.  

3. Hands: 

I touch all kinds of office and life objects all day long. I try to wash my hands or use hand sanitizer as often as possible but because of the constant cleansing I like to moisturize my hands and cuticles.

- Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Energy Body Lotion in Orange Ginger

- Burt’s Bees Hand Salve (Used on my cuticles, it’s similar to vasseline)

- Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat

4.Teeth: 

Again, I interact with multiple people and the last thing I want is for someone to shy away from me due to coffee breath.

-Toothbrush from dentist (toothpaste not shown)

-Orbit gum

A couple of other things I keep in my desk: Tazo Passion Tea packets, bracelet and earrings for when I forgot to accessorize (don’t judge me) and almonds/nuts.

As for makeup and powder, I keep all of those beauties in my purse. So there you have it, my current desk necessities.

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday, I’ll talk to you soon!
