From the Desk of…

03 Jun From the Desk of…

I never thought that I was cut out for a typical 9 to 5 job. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying.  I like that I’m passionate enough about my job that I want to do it after I’m technically off the clock. Even if that includes washing my face and a fresh application of makeup.

I’m not the only one, you can tell when something big is about to happen because all of a sudden people are changing into higher heels, putting more jewelry on, a brighter lipstick, er um, bronzer on their legs.

I keep an arsenal right on my desk: Laura Mercier  Flawless Skin Face Polish, Bioelements Oil Control Mattifer, Bare Escentuals Ready Foundation, Bare Escentuals Well-Rested Face and Eye Brightner, and St. Tropez One Night Only Instant Body Spray. Oh, and Kusmi BB Detox Tea.

What you know about BB Detox Tea?!

It’s the latest thing in skincare, a blend of matè, green tea, rooibos and grapefruit that helps to rid excess toxins from my skin and supports a radient complexion. Basically, it’s the ish and I just decided to start drinking it everyday.

That way, when it’s time for me to head out and I head into the bathroom, scrub my face with Flawless Skin Face Polish, so my skin looks bright, then apply a thin layer of Bioelements Oil Control Mattifer so the Ready foundation I’m about to apply doesn’t melt off in the subway. I brush a little Well-Rested under my eyes to look like I am not co-dependent on coffee and actually sleep at night before slapping–not really, I’m a laydee–on a bright lipstick and a few coats of mascara.

If my legs are out, and now that the weather is cooperating, they probably are, I like to spritz St. Tropez Bronzing Spray on them to give them that Beyoncè-type glow. Don’t act like you don’t know that means.

The best part, is that I can keep all of this on my desk. I don’t have to hide my current favorites. In fact, if I’m feeling particularly overwhelmed a swipe of lipstick does wonders.

…But what else would you expect to see on the desk of a Glam girl? What do you use to retouch your makeup after work?
