Editors Beauty Bag Part 2

Take a peek in fellow writer, Melissa Tan’s bag for her favorite picks of go-to beauty!

Benefit Cosmetics- Benetint
It's a sheer stain for cheeks and lips. Stays on all day, and goes on light to avoid that "Mimi from The Drew Carey Show" look. Plus, it lasts forever (this is my second bottle in four years) and smells like roses!

L'oreal High Intensity Pigment - Cream Eyeliner in Iridescent Navy
bold color that goes on clean and stays all day. It's one of the only drugstore liners that I've found in such a high fashion color that works so well. The color and consistency looks more like MAC, but for $12.

Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum Set: with gardenia, egyptian jasmine, and tuberose
The set comes with the perfume spray, a scented shimmery lotion, and a tiny bottle of essential egyptian jasmine oil, which is my favorite thing in the world. It smells a lot like Black by Kenneth Cole, which is what I used to wear before it was discontinued.

Chanel Nail Polish in Black Satin
This nail polish is worth the $20 a bottle that it retails for. Not only has this color become a classic, the nail polish is great. It goes on very thin, dries hard, and never peels. Plus, it's got just the right about of shine without being too polished.

Fresh Sugar - Face Polish
This exfoliating scrub smells good enough to eat, and technically, you could -- the ingredients are all natural, so it's basically strawberries, brown sugar, and natural waxes. I put it on before I take a shower so that it acts as an exfoliator at first, and then melts in the hot shower to become like a soothing face mask.
