just throw it in the bag

I have a lot of stuff in my bag like every other woman on the planet. I need a good sturdy bag that can hold a fair amount of stuff and this leopard canvas MAC bag by Rebecca Minkoff gets the job done.
I love to snack so I never leave home without an Oats and Honey granola bar. I also carry mints and Werthers Original candies too.

 I always have a comb, a hair tie and 2 bobby pins for those moments when it happens to rain and my hair promptly goes to sh*t and I have to fix it quick. I am in love with the Ojon Rare Blend Oil. I got it from Sephora and it works wonders for the hair and skin too. Speaking of skin the kabuki brush is great at soaking up access facial oil and the HD power prevents sheen on my T-zone. For my daily SPF I always use Aveeno.

 I am OCD about being clean so I carry hand sanitizer (and use it 5-10 times daily lol). And being the type A obsessive clean person I am I take my own nail polish to nail salons. I just cant have a brush that touched someone else's toe nails on my toe nails. Is that weird? I seem to somehow cut myself daily whether that be a paper cut, a hang nail or a scrap thus I carry Neosporin for my blundering moments.
 
So that's what's in my bag!

Fall Favorites: Nails and Lipstick Trends

 i rarely paint my nails...and here's why. in my other life i am a physical therapist.
SHOCKING! yes...well for some but those of you who have been long time readers yall know!
i use my hands A LOT...lifting, massaging, typing.
so my nails chip within minutes of starting work. thus i just usually go bare nailed.
but with Fall here i can't resist the urge of a little color to brighten up my drab nails and deeper tones for my lips as well.

(ESSIE: Stylenomics, Skirting the Issue, Miss Fancy Pants)
these Essie polishes are my current faves for Fall. i really love the green stylenomics polish. its a rich green that looks almost black but at second glance you see its a lovely lush shade of green...my favorite color!
For my lips i am a through and through bold red lip girl...im either wearing MAC Red or Stila Fiery Lipstain most of the time. I like the MAC red for a glossy red and the stila fiery for a matte red! but for Fall i wanted deeper shade or red even with a hint of purple. so i went through and found these great lip colors for Fall







gotta love a good lipstick. currently my fave out of them all is the Revlon Black Cherry!

what are you current go-to's for Fall nail and lip colors?
