5 Things I Always Keep Stocked
Tried and true, baby.
Last week, the internet exploded as it often does with one trend or another, and this particular week was everyone talking about the things they always keep in stock. Gleefully I clapped my hand; this is my kind of voyeurism! Show me what you can’t live without and also, sell me on it, because I’m nothing if not influenceable.
I found the exercise illuminating and picked up some recs along the way. And now I’m piping up to share my non-negotiables with you. Enter my storage closet. Lol, just kidding. I still have one of those 1980’s medicine cabinet mirrors, where everything lives just sort of shoved and stacked on top of each other. We can’t all live in pinterest homes!
Vacation Classic Lotion
I’ve talked about this ad nauseam, so I’ll be brief: it smells so freaking good, I actually wear it.
MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer®
I know….every time there’s a Sephora sale, this baby gets blown up and it’s annoying. But it’s the real deal you guys. Particularly in January, I am transformed into someone who looks like she’s living, and maybe has seen the sun.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
I go so hard for this hill, I’m willing to die on it. This is the best concealer on the market and I will always have a back-up stored in the medicine cabinet. I don’t know what the sorcery is, but it blends perfectly and makes my entire face just look smooth.
Flamingo Daily Moisturizing Lotion
I have this in the cream style as well as the spray lotion and both are top-tier, and similar to the Vacation SPF, I like it because it smells so good that I’m motivated to use it. I keep a bottle in my guest bathroom for when family visits because they’re obsessed with it too. Currently 2 back-up bottles in the cabinet.
MILK MAKEUP RISE Lifting + Lengthening Mascara
A good basic. There’s more dramatic tubes out there, but for consistent quality that doesn’t clump or flake off, this is a tried and true to keep on hand. Currently 1 extra stocked.
