What beauty products are in your purse/bag right now? I’ve asked it before, but I’m sure it’s changed for most of us, so spill your guts AND your purse’s contents 😉
I’m really boring, I rarely carry beauty stuff with me, so I just have Lil Sizzler lip gelee and Fuchsia Fix tinted lip conditioner! Oh, chapstick and Cortisone if those count!
