① SOFT BLUR MOISTURE LOCK SETTING POWDER

Soft Blur is the perfect powder, talc-free, light weight and mini in size :) It’s necessary to keep on hand because I immediately look more put together when you’re only shiny in the right places.

② COLOR GLAZE LIP & CHEEK PIGMENT (Magnolia)

Color Glaze in Magnolia is my current go-to.

③ SKIN SUEDE Bronze Balm (Oak)

I love layering COLOR GLAZE over my Oak bronzer to add an iridescent highlight and a bit of rosiness to the bronze. It’s just such a good combo. You know when you discover something that works so well it’s hard to switch to anything else? That’s what’s happening right now.

④ SUPER SLICK in DUNE (mini + full size)

Dune is a forever staple. It’s one of those products that never stopped being essential. I’ve had friends call me in a panic because they ran out and couldn’t live without it (cue emergency shipping if they’re somewhere without a store). I keep the full size in my bag and a mini in my glow case, just in case one goes missing.

⑤ ALCOHOL WIPES

I’m a bit of a clean freak, so these are always with me. Mostly for wiping my fingers before touching my face, or cleaning my phone.

⑥ HAIR CLIP

This is purely practical. Anytime I put my hair up, there’s always one rogue piece that needs fixing.

⑦ PIRULIN

I became obsessed with these chocolate wafers when I was in Venezuela. They came in tiny packets, and I brought back about 50. I always keep one in my bag for a quick pick-me-up.

⑧ GLASSES

I’ve worn glasses or contacts since I was 12. I had LASIK three years ago and although it did improve my eyesight, it’s slowly deteriorating again. I’m trying to wear glasses more because I can easily take them off when reading or on my phone. So while they might look like part of the outfit, they’re very functional. If you see me without them, I probably can’t see you.

⑨ MY NOTEBOOK & LE PEN

I use my notebook as a real-life notes app. When I’m reading and want to remember a sentence or look up a word, I write it down first and check it later so that I don’t break focus by grabbing my phone. It’s made me way more present and I’m able to read for a lot longer because of it.

⑩ WIRED HEADPHONES

I feel incomplete without wired headphones. I don’t like holding my phone to my ear, and being on speaker in public isn’t always appropriate.

⑪ LISTERINE STRIPS

I use my notebook as a real-life notes app. When I’m reading and want to remember a sentence or look up a word, I write it down first and check it later so that I don’t break focus by grabbing my phone. It’s made me way more present and I’m able to read for a lot longer because of it.

⑫ MY PERFUME

I wear perfume when the outfit calls for it. My current favorite is a Frédéric Malle scent, and I keep a mini version in this case.

⑬ ICE BREAKERS

This is my sweet n sour treat. I’m not really a candy person, but if I am to have a piece, it hasto be sour.

⑭ MY KEYCHAIN

It’s oversized so I can actually find my keys. The little Haze bracelet charm is a keepsake. I made it with Rahaf, my Palestinian friend from Gaza, who came to Boston for burn treatment. I keep it as a reminder of her.
