I am always watching and reading about what’s in other women’s bags. I am mainly wondering if they carry as much crap as I do or if they have a better way to organize it. I am especially bad when it comes to lipsticks, glosses, lip balms, I have so many, they take up a whole section of my bag and I’ve tried to declutter them time and time again, only to wind up with them all back in my purse. So, before I try one more time to let go of a few, I thought I would share what I am currently carrying in my bag.

Lipsticks
Milani Color Statement Lipstick Dulce Carmelo—Surprise, surprise! I guess you already know how much I love this lipstick because I am always talking about it in various beauty and favorites posts. This is one I will not declutter, it stays. Just in case you haven’t read about it before in my previous post, I love this because it lasts a long time and the color is a perfect pink/nude that I think is very flattering for everyone.
Laura Geller – Nice -N-Nude—I’ve had this one for a while, so, I’m not sure if it’s still available but I’ll try to find something similar. This shade is really a very nude beige, and when I want to wear very little color on my lips, this is the one I go for.
Liquid lipsticks
Ciate Glitter Flip – Infamous—I have no idea where I got this sample size from, but I had no idea when I put it on that it would transform into a glitter lipstick when you press your lips together. It’s a matte metallic shade in a very pretty berry color and even though I generally don’t wear glitter on my lips, I really like this one. I don’t wear it often but when I do, it’s in the evening as I don’t typically wear a color so dark during the day. It does last long and is comfortable to wear as well.
Lip glosses
Essence Shine Shine Shine – Bright on—I wrote about these a few months ago in a beauty post. I love the way these feel on the lips and it gives you a very shiny wet look. These are so reasonably priced and perfect for every day.
Sephora Outrageous Effect Volume Lip Gloss – Shade 03—I wish I had purchased more of these. When I checked the Sephora website, I only see the shades 01 and 02 left. I love the 03 shade; beautiful bright pink coral shade and the plumping effect is just enough to give your lips a fuller look.
Matte Lip Colors
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip color – Flirtation—I have a hard time finding matte lip colors that I like and are comfortable to wear. Revlon’s is perfect for me. It’s creamy, smooth and not drying to the lips. I love this Flirtation color for the summer. It’s a pink, peachy/coral color and has a very velvety feel to it. I have a few other shades, but this one always stays in my bag.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream – Abu Dhabi—Another great matte lip cream that is comfortable to wear and not drying. I love this shade it’s the perfect pink – nude. This line is reasonably priced and have many shades to choose from.
Lip Balms
ChapStick Original Formula—I have ChapStick all over my house, bathroom, night table, kitchen and of course in my bag. I always have dry lips, and this is the one I consistently reach for.
Brandless Mineral Lip Balm – Coconut—If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I love coconut. Coconut lip balm? Yes, please and Brandless delivered on this one.

Grove Collaborative Mint & Argon Lip Balm—You can never have enough lip balms in my opinion so yes, I do carry all three in my bag. I like this one because of the minty feeling and the benefits of argon oil. It provides antioxidants and essential fatty oils for healthy lips. You can also try this out or any other Grove Collaborative products by using my referral link. Receive a 5-piece gift set with your first purchase.
This completes my collection of lip products I currently carry in my bag. Like I said, now that they are all out, I’m going to do some decluttering on this as well. I also noticed while I was going through them all, I tend to have very similar shades so obviously I don’t need to carry all these nude shades with me. Now the biggest question is which ones stay in my bag??
How many lip products do you carry in your bag? I’d love to hear in the comments below.

I have to say, I have way too many as well. I have 3 lip liners , and like 5 some gloss, some not. I just never know what color I want to wear. I guess I could be “that organized girl” who puts one in when she leaves. Ha. Never. Thanks for this. Enjoyed it 💄👃
Hi Louise,
I’m so happy to hear that it’s just not me! You’re right, I never know what color I want to wear either! Thank you Louise!
Hi Joann, well in my bag I have about 4to 5 lipsticks along with lip liners. I’m
always purchasing different colors however if I purchase any from Riteaid drugstore their policy is if your not satisfied you can return it as long as you have
your receipt. I think this policy is great I wish more stores would allow you to.
Lipstick have become pricey lately I just purchased some of Kylie Jenner’s lipsticks
she has some really nice colors which also come in matte, glossy & metallic. I will
let you know how they are once I try them. I hope also to declutter some of my lipsticks & makeup too. Will let you know how I do on that.
Thank you Joann for always sharing your ideas & solutions.
Love,
Aunt Chris
