Hey everyone! Summer is coming to an end and life is becoming more routine again. Boo who!

To brighten your daily routine a bit, I thought I’d share a little something that gives my day some style and adds a little pep to my step!

How many of you carry around a purse filled with garbage, half eaten kid snacks and goodness knows what else? When your purse is a mess, you feel more chaotic and certainly less stylish. Trust me, that is me half the time! But when I get my act together and stock my purse with stylish essentials and get rid of the garbage, life is better! It’s like a little magic trick.

Awhile back I shared what I carry in my purse {here}.

Today I’m sharing what’s inside my cosmetic bag. Here are a few simple tips to help you stock your purse in style. An organized, well stocked purse will brighten your chaotic day! {This post contains affiliate links for your convenience}

Tips to Stock your Purse in Style – What’s inside my Cosmetic Bag

When shopping for the perfect cosmetic bag, look for something that is cute AND durable. Steer clear of fabrics that can stain and easily show dirt. This blush pink bag has been in my purse for a few years now and still looks band new. You may have to spend a little more to get a higher quality one, but it will pay for itself over time. This will help make switching purses a breeze too!

Stock your new cosmetic bag with gorgeous essentials that will brighten your day! I like to fill mine with products that help me feel fresh and girly all day. Here is what I have in mine…

Smash Box makes an awesome lip liner with a built in sharpener. It lasts extremely long and comes in a ton of colors.

A fabulous lip stick is a must! I shared this lip stick and compact last week in my favorite gift ideas {here}. You will love this YSL lipstick! I have never used a more luxurious and silky lipstick. The container itself will give you a little pick me up!

Apply your lipstick or check your makeup with a beautiful compact. Do yourself a favor and buy one that is just as darling as you are! Little treasures are the things that bring a smile to your face when your day is less than exciting.

For those days when lipstick isn’t needed, a good lipgloss will do just fine. My favorite is this champagne lip shimmer from Burt’s Bees. It provides a little shimmer and pop to a dry, dreary lip. I’ve linked a few of my other favorites below.

The older I get, the more my skin needs some extra help throughout the day! I came across this life changing eye cream that hydrates your under eye in an instant. Try to apply it morning and night or whenever you need a quick touch up. A little goes a long way!

Another product that I am in love with is this highlighter. Just swipe a little on your orbital bone, down the bridge of your nose and on the center of your cupid’s bow {on your lip}. It will brighten up your face and make you feel fresh and vibrant. My favorite color is Champagne Pop.

Freshen up with your favorite travel sized perfume. Find your favorite scent and toss it in your cosmetic bag for  that moment you wish you didn’t smell like your crockpot dinner! I love this one!
