Everyday Products to Keep in Your Purse this Fall

It's that time of year when we are back on the hustle. Everyone is back in school and on the move. You never know where the day might take you, so keeping a small "wardrobe" of skincare and makeup products on hand is crucial. You never want to be stuck out and about without options to freshen up with.

Certain products can be lifesavers after a hot yoga class or gym session. Incorporating skin care after getting in a good sweat in is essential. Two products I keep on hand are the ZO Complexion renewal pads and the Hyacin Active purifying mist. Using these two products after sweating is a game-changer for the skin.

Use the pads to remove the sweat, dirt and grime resulting from burning all those calories. Then, use the mist to help balance pH levels. It is microbiome-friendly and speeds up the healing process, keeping pesky breakouts at bay. I get both of these products from my aesthetician, Jordan Strake, at Glo Medical.

MATT GOSSETT

I've been trusted for over 15 years among Midsouth ladies, from weddings to events and even makeup wardrobing for the everyday.  After years in this industry, I am passionate about finding the best products. If you're looking for a certain look for everyday or special moments, check me out on Instagram @thematt_gossett. I can get you into a look you love!

Girlactik - Jello Gloss Balm

These hydrating balms give you a much-needed boost when on-the-go. You get a glossy, non-sticky lip with a punch of color. You can use these by themselves or with a lip liner to give lips a more sophisticated look.  Also apply this product on top of a long-wear cream lipstick to provide the hydration you need without a sticky gloss.

MOB Beauty - Smooth Precision Waterproof Lip Liner

It's always hard to find a good, budge-proof lipliner that lives up to its name. MOB Beauty is taking over with this PLASTIC-FREE vegan formula. This cool-toned neutral gives a "your lips but better" look. Use this product as a liner or fill in your full lip for a base/long-wear lip color.

Shade "M1990"

Makeup by Mario - Soft Pop Blush Sticks

Keep your blush handy when working with these convenient sticks. These are very easy to apply and blend with your finger or the built in brush on the bottom. You will never be caught off guard for after work drinks with this product. Tip: This product also works double-time as you can also pop a little on the lip and then line for precision!
