What’s In Our (Clear) Bag

Our latest obsession is having a clear makeup case we carry with us at all times.. and not just one of them.. but two.. cuz you know, we have a lot of shiz. Why clear? Well, you can see everything (yeah yeah not the prettiest thing ever) so it reminds us to either take our vitamins, spray our face with a moisturizing mist in the middle of the afternoon or reapply sunscreen. Here are the things we bring along with us on the daily:

Heather

Clear Makeup Pouch

My favorite drugstore lipgloss

I’ve talked about NYX a lot but their Butter Gloss can’t be beat.. oh and it’s $6. Love all the pink shades. I think I have every one.

Travel Size Laneige Lip Mask and Lip Balm

I was one of the lucky ones who snagged a couple travel size Laneige lip masks when Sephora had them and now they come with me wherever I go. And recently, my girlfriend picked up the lip balm for me.. so obviously she gets to come along for the ride, too.

Face Spritz

Obsessed is an understatement. I like the pink and green versions and I picked mine up at my local Nordstrom Rack in the checkout aisle (gets me EVERY time!). Nothing like a little spritz while driving in the car… great for skin hydration, which you can never get enough of.

Sunscreen

Said it before and I’ll say it again, NOTHING will transform your skin.. no serum, oil or lotion unless you wear sunscreen daily. Don’t care if it’s snowing peeps. Put it on. I apply it every morning and will reapply in Summer twice a day. I love the tinted version too when I’m pasty white.. aka all the time in grey Seattle.

Headphones

My favorite headphones for working out/running. They don’t fall out or slip and have a long battery life. Expensive but worth it.

Scrunchie

Always one in my pouch and one on my wrist. Lululemon has the best ones in my opinion because I can wear them running and my hair stays put. Oh and scrunchies are kind of the new wrist accessory.. snag a few.

Alix

Clear Makeup Case

Moisture Stick

I love having this matcha stick on me at all times for a little pick me up. I use it under my eyes and on my lips mostly, but you can use it anywhere. This company, Cocokind, is based in San Francisco and super legit clean products…check them out!

SPF Lip Balm

I think lip SPF is often overlooked when applying sunscreen, but I’m obsessed with making sure I always have SPF30 lip balm on me. Just like face sunscreen you should be applying this daily, not just when laying out on vacay 😉

Vital Proteins

I always have Vital Proteins collagen packets in my purse so I can add it to my coffee when I’m on the go or traveling. You guys know we are obsessed with collagen and I get stressed out when I’m drinking coffee without it- love these individual packets so I don’t look like I’m carrying crack around in a plastic bag in my purse.

Face Mist

This is another fave daily pick me up that is a must to have in my purse at all times. A friend sent this one to me and I’m obsessed! Coconut water, rose, and aloe…yes please. You can use it to set your makeup or just a little stritz here and there to hydrate!

Essential Oils

If I’m feeling stressed or anxious I will dad a few drops of this oil behind my ears, wrists, or under my nose and take deeeeeeeep breaths!

Emergen-C Packets

These are a must esp when traveling! I carry Emergen-C and Oxylent multivitamin packages with me and take when traveling, start feeling sick, or feel like my diet is falling short. I also like taking an Oxylent package after a tough workout.

Hair Ties

I love a good hair scrunchie too, but these ones are a little smaller and fit nicely in my case. They stay put really well during workouts too!

What do you carry with you in your purse? Leave a comment below!
