I have a full makeup set at work because sometimes I don't have enough time in the morning before work. In order to get to work on time, I do my makeup (really quickly) at my desk. It's mostly drugstore stuff, but I like each item.
covergirl foundation
L'Oreal Powder
Mabelline blush
Elizabeth Arden eyeshadow set
L'Oreal eyeliner
Voluminous mascara
Since we have workout and shower facilities, I also have
shampoo & conditioner
toothpaste toothbrush
deoderant
bodywash
+ lotion
tampons
chapstick

gd, you are the QUEEN!

I need to add a tide pen, nail clippers, and maybe some nail polish remover.

May I ask what are some common uses of the hollywood tape? I imagine it could work for a fallen hem or to keep a top in place, but maybe there are other uses?

kealoha · Kate Spade

lip balm
lipstick
nail clippers
hair bands
eye drops
lint brush
mints

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

The Hollywood Tape is good for a fallen hem and to keep a top in place, and are probably the best two uses. I also use it on blouses that gap between the buttons at the boobs. You can secure straps with it too. I keep a few pieces in my purse too, just in case. It's pretty handy.

Heres what I have:
Lint Brush
Static Sheets
Wet Wipes
Chapstick
Pantiliners

Mini Perfume Spray Samples
Deodorant
Hairspray
Mouthwash
Mini Sewing Kit
Shoe Polish
Hand Sanitizer
Safety Pins

Manicure Kit
Almost gone foundation turned upside down just in case I need it one of these days.

I usually carry my tiny makeup bag in my purse so I dont keep make up in my drawer.

I still have to buy: closed toe flats, tide to go, double stik tape, clear nail polish
