Sorry for the lack of post last week, but my office was a little hectic, because we relocated to a brand new and much brighter suite. Awesome work selfies are getting concocted as you read this.
With all the packing and unpacking that was going on, I realized that I was running low and even out of my some of the beauty products that I keep in my office desk. Yes, there are necessary beauty products that every woman, no matter your level of beauty-obsessed, should keep in their desk at work to help you be extra presentable, no matter how long a meeting or unexpected conversation with the CEO in passing.
In the office, it’s always best to put your best foot forward, ethically and visually. So, here is the list of beauty items you should have stored in your work desk. Hmm, I wonder can these be considered write-offs or even better, get ordered with the office supplies? Is there hybrid Staples/Ulta somewhere on this planet. Well, I think I need to take a trip to HR.
In the meantime, check out and take inventory of essential beauty products to keep in your desk at work.
Oil-Blotting Sheets – These are pretty much holy-grail items. Nothing worse than a shiny oily face…in a cool office space. My personal favorite oil-blotting sheets are Boscia Clear Complexion Blotting Sheets, because away excess oil and treat and prevent blemishes without disturbing your makeup
Translucent Powder – A good translucent powder is a must, especially to touch up spots that have lost the matte affect. Laura Mercier Invisible Pressed Setting Powder is a dream. It’s very light, sets your make-up and last all day, but is also great for little touch-ups here and there.
Rollerball Scent – I’m so glad that most perfumes and scents are available in rollerball size, because they are the perfect size and shape to keep in your pursea nd desk for a quick little aromatic pick-me up. Ralph Lawrence Romance is my all time favorite scent. Very clean and fresh. Plus, it was my mom’s favorite scent, too.
Lip Balm – A pink pouty lip that moisturized is an automatic win, office or not. Vaseline Lip Therapy in Rose Pink gives just right amount of pink pout and supple, moisturized lips.
Travel Manicure Kit – Hang nails, better yet, clipping hang nails and cuticles is lowkey one of my favorite things to do while at work. Mainly, they are annoying, but I feel very liberated to remove them. Therefore, I keep a travel manicure kit in my desk that is has the basic nail trimmer, cuticle clippers and pusher, and nail file. What I love about this manicure kit from Crabtree & Evelyn is that it also includes a side nail clipper. Mind-blowing awesomeness!
Hand Cream – The soap in the bathroom of my office building is really drying…really drying. So, I keep multiple containers of Nivea Extended Moisture Hand Cream in my desk draw. It’s very moisturizing and long-lasting, even after washing my hands many times throughout the day.
Face Mist – Over the years, I’ve had an emotional relationship with face mists. There have been times when I just didn’t feel the need for them and the next thing you know, I’m questioning my sanity as to why I didn’t think I needed this. Well, for the past few months, it’s been the latter. This summer was a rough one for me and my mke-up’s pursuit to not slide all over my face…before lunchtime. My boo, Mario Badescu Facial Spray has really been magical by setting my makeup to stay pretty much all day and provided me instantly sprays of refreshment throughout the day. The scent? Just awesome.
Do you have any beauty products that you keep in your desk at work and are a must? Please share!
