Hey @rebeccaa93 ! Which tote bag did you get? I almost always carry a Lands’ End medium canvas tote, in addition to a crossbody purse. Not sure what kinds of products you want to put in your bag, but I’ll you what’s always in mine: Hair ties - I keep either a couple mini silk scrunchies (like Crown Affair The Silk Scrunchie No. 001 Set or Slip mini scrunchies) or a silk scarf in a plastic baggie, plus a few bobby pins. Hand cream - usually either Gold Bond Healing Hand Cream or Skinfix Eczema+ Ceramide Hand + Foot Relief Cream 3 fl oz / 90 ml. Hand sanitizer - I prefer to use a hypochlorous acid spray that’s far less drying (for me) than an alcohol sanitizer; I can also use it as a hydrating soothing facial mist if needed. I usually carry a mini bottle of SkinSmart, which costs considerably less than the very similar Tower 28 Beauty Mini SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid 1 oz/ 30 mL. I do also sometimes carry a mini bottle of Purell or a Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer. Hand cleanup - sometimes I’m not trying to sanitize my hands, I just need to clean food residue or other gunk off ‘em while I’m on the go. Luna Daily The Mini Everywhere Spray-To-Wipe - With Prebiotics + Vitamins C&E, for Sensitive Skin 1.01 oz / 30 mL is very handy for this, though there may be less expensive options elsewhere. Makeup remover wipes are also good for this, particularly micellar water ones. So is a resealable pack of sanitizing wipes. Nail oil - aka “cuticle oil.” I’m not always good at reapplying it to my nails and the skin around ‘em throughout the day, but I still carry an oil pen (inside a snack-size plastic bag because I’m paranoid about the pen leaking). CND Solar Oil’s a good one. I normally carry a refillable Bliss Kiss pen and fill it with any oil I choose. Face mattefier - my nose area can become a grease puddle throughout the day. (The rest of my facial skin is mostly dry.) Sometimes I carry LH Cosmetics Blotting Powder or Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Tinted Primer & Foundation Universal to tame my oily zone as needed. For the LH Cosmetics powder, I also carry a flat puff for application. (I can apply Danessa’s balm powder with my fingers instead.) Usually that’s Beautyblender POWER POCKET PUFF™ Dual-Sided Powder Puff for Setting and Baking or a Real Techniques mini puff. I suppose ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Precision Setting & Baking Kite Powder Puff Set or Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Touch Setting Powder and Baking Puff Duo are 2 other options. Sunscreen - if I know I’ll be out and about longer than a couple hours, I carry a tube of Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ and my Beautyblender Pocket Puff (I use the sponge side to reapply sunscreen over makeup). Small makeup bag - okay so, I don’t always carry this because I don’t always need to carry all the makeup I applied in the morning. But if you think you’ll want to do that (for touchups throughout the day), a small makeup bag’s a good idea to keep all your products together vs. moshing in your tote bag. Even if your makeup bag’s just a small canvas pouch, that’s fine; whatever helps you stay a bit organized. LED magnifying mirror - not just for makeup touchups or sunscreen reapplications; sometimes I need to see if an eyelash is floating around my irritated eyeball and try to coax/flush it outta there. I carry a fairly small rectangular mirror I bought from Amazon: it’s dimmable with 3 light modes and I love it. There are plenty of other options though. There are other things I always carry, but in my purse instead of my tote bag: lip balm (I just use plain ol’ Aquaphor Ointment), a couple backup lipsticks, a non-LED mirror that’s smaller than the LED one I mentioned above.

Recently, I purchased a shampoo totally new to me--but that I now love! The Dae Desert Detox Shampoo is fantastic at both cleaning hair daily without striping it of the natural oils, and it seems to assist in adding some slight shimmer in. Every morning, my hair is bouncy and bright, so I'm very happy with the product. I do use any conditioner of my choice, and none has altered the effectiveness of the shampoo.

The most recent Beauty Insider Challenge is about to conclude on March 26. It seems that what is common to this Challenge and ones in the past is the in store skin scan and the online order / in-store pick up of selected product. I love the boost in points after completing each challenge.

This is going to be the first year where I did not qualify for rouge. And I will say i’m quite relieved, but also sad. I remember the first time I managed to reach rouge. I was in high school and I was shocked I had even spent so much that year. But the benefits that came were enjoyable. I remember getting to receive a rouge gift, I got two mini brushes came with a pouch and all. But after that no more rewards which was disappointing but it kinda went unnoticed as I would be so busy with life. The 20% off annual sales certainly helped but it got to a point where i didn’t even know what to buy anymore. So, I didn’t make it this year and bit sad but I don’t feeling like i’m losing out on much. Maybe in the future rouge will come with better benefits.

It’s come to my attention that there are surveys and points/gift cards to be earned once invited to the insights lab. I won’t lie i’m quite peeved I was never invited. I understand that it’s got to be random but come on. Besides this year, I’ve been a rouge member since high school. Besides purchasing from sephora, I’ve actually been writing reviews every now and then. Obviously gave up since I stopped buying as often. I wish that they did care a little bit more in letting members in on groups and offers that can be done.
