{Monthly Collaboration} December Must Reads

Question of the month: What make-up do you carry around in your handbag?

I did a few of my necessities, not just makeup - so here we go:

1. MAC Lipstick in Hot Gossip - this has become my go to color and it's perfect for all seasons.
2. MAC Lip Pencil in Dervish - the perfect pairing for my lipstick.
3. MAC Cremesheen Glass in Deelight - when I just don't have time for liner and lipstick ;)
4. Christian Audigier Perfume - still one of my favorite scents, thanks to my sister.
5. WAX!  I cannot stress enough how important this stuff is in my life right now (blah).
6. Colgate Wisp Portable Brushes - these little gems have a tiny freshening bead and a pick on one end to remove hard to reach food... a must with braces!
7. The portable hair brush - kind of like the one I carried around in the seventh grade, but hey, in Idaho... it's a must!
8. MAC Viva Glam Ricky Lip Conditioner - since I always have chapped lips this product is great to layer over lipstick.  I bought it in a gift set with a lipstick and now I'm hooked.
