Hello Beautiful Kardashian Girls!!! Kourtney, Kim and Khloe that is!

I don't know about you, but I am mesmerized by these women - they always look fabulous, act professionally, and keep us entertained!

And according to InStyle magazine (my go-to for many a fashion idea) they have quite the fabulous closets.  Shocking, isn't it?? 

The Kardashians have a passion for big-ticket chic, and their closets are no exception.  Let's take a look at what the fashionistas love to wear.

Laura Large Trapezoid Bag

I'll be honest. I never gave much thought to how I carry my cosmetics. As long as the bag held all I needed to look (and be) beautiful, I was set. Well I'm rethinking my position on this one. It may seem like an insignificant accessory, but any lady on the go will tell you this is the one item that she couldn't do without.

Have you been shopping lately and seen all the beautiful and functional choices out there? They tempt you with wonderful fabrics, shapes, versatility and colors.

Some woman must have the high end bags such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Tod's; while others keep it on the simple side with bags from MAC or Stephanie Johnson. If you choose a pretty one in a great fabric, it can even double as a clutch when traveling.

I use a Stephanie Johnson bag in an iridescent snakeskin print that I've used as an evening bag, and to hold receipts and coupons in my handbag. It has a gorgeous turquoise interior that makes finding what you're looking for a snap and fits all my cosmetics in one neat bundle.

For those of us that love matching sets when it comes to our bags, many designers have matching pencil bags, totes, jewelry rolls and other useful organizers.

But let's be honest. It's what's in the bag that really matters. That's what helps me get my beauty on! I'm not the kind of girl who likes to spend her paycheck on cosmetics, but if I do find something I really love and it works well for me, I'll splurge.  

One of my favorite resources for the tried and true "best of beauty" is InStyle magazine's annual beauty product review. The mag also has lots of other beauty and fashion tips in the their issues as well. My favorite go-to resource by far!

I am always curious what other girls have in their cosmetic bags. Here's a peek at what's inside mine:

• Neutrogena Healthy Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF30 - lightweight and not sticky-a daily must as a moisturizer and sunscreen base.
• Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer - the best primer I've used. It keeps foundation on all day.
• Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion - the best in the industry and very popular.
• Lorac Natural Performance Foundation - new in my bag - great lightweight coverage - I love it!
• Urban Decay Naked Eye Shadow Palette - beautiful neutrals, some with sparkle I wear day and night.
• Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder - great concept - you "shave" off what you need.  Never cakes.
• Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara - I struggle with mascara (it's my short, sparse lashes!) but this works well.
• MAC Amplified Lipstick - Fantastic color selection - my fav is Blankety - a soft pinky beige.

These are my tried and true. What's in your cosmetic bag and does your bag make you happy??
