The blog Beauty Blogging Junkie is a universal common denominator in beauty. Not only does every blogger that I know look up to writer Amber Katz for her grammatically correct, HILARE and pop-culture-heavy writing style, so does every beauty pro. Plus, even after the great Hair Odyssey of 2010, her locks are envied far and wide.

It's these reasons and more that made Amber the perfect subject for What's in HER Bag? In her own words, here's what she's carrying around on a daily basis in her Cha Cha leather tote:

• Marc Jacobs orange metallic wallet
• Orbit Gum in Peppermint (this is never NOT on Glamber)
• Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 (I put lip balm on approximately 192 times a day)
• Keys with Bloom Key Chain Lip Gloss in Tangerine (so I can be assured I'll always have something to put on my lips, despite that I carry around a collection of lippies that rival Bergdorf Goodman's)
• Tiffany Patent Leather Business Card Case in Red (to match BBJ! Unfortunately, the red was limited edition and no longer available)
• Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Balm
• Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tint in Poppy (I get pale VERY easily)
• Tory Burch Plastic Square Sunglasses (I know I'm in the minority here, but I find Tory B's excessive use of her enormous logo vulgar. These subtle sunnies boast the teensiest label so I don't have to feel like a walking billboard)
• CHANEL Rouge Coco Lipstick in Legende
• Lipstick Queen Sheer Lipstick in Medieval (a staple of mine for years; it always establishes bag real estate)
• Lancome Lipstick in Chris and Tell (the perfect coral)
• Ellis Faas Ellis Red Lip Color
• Lisa Hoffman Japanese Agarwood Limited Edition 2-vial Fragrance Set
• Mini Benefit Posietint (I use this as blush and lip stain on the go)
• Tarte Dark Circle Defense Concealer (concealer needs to be reapplied during the day. A sad but real truth)
• Shobha Hand Sanitizer (straphanging is gross)

How does your bag compare?

I'm on the road again this weekend, hence the lack of regular posts. But I had to pop in quickly and rave, rave, rave about one of my fave beauty collections, Lisa Hoffman.

This clever line includes not only full size skincare, body and fragrance but also, the Spa Bath Packette (above, includes Bath Soak, Body Wash, Body Polisher, Body Cream and the rich Hand & Foot Butter,) and Spa Shower Packette travel sets. Each includes 5 body products - good for 1-2 uses each - formulated with sustainable ingredients and scented with Hoffman's signature delicate orchid fragrance.

My only gripe?  Well, it IS Earth Month - and the packaging on these is honestly quite wasteful.

If you can get past that, consider snagging a set for your next trip.  Shop the collection at www.lisahoffmanskincare.com.

As an obsessive beauty sampler, the BeautyFix program ($49.95 quarterly) was MADE for me. It lets me indulge in full and deluxe travel sized niche and high end beauty products that I might not normally be aware of. I truly fell in love with a couple of products from the first edition and the newest edition may just be even better.

As I type (yes, right now), I'm testing my first product out - the Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Mask. This cool gel smells of Granny Smith apples, no doubt thanks to the fruit acids that are working to exfoliate my tired skin.  The mask dried after about 20 minutes and I'm headed to the bathroom now to pull it off, no washcloth required.

Stay tuned for more reviews on Beauty Fix products; included in the latest kit are brands like Glowelle, Jonathan, 3Lab, Lisa Hoffman and more.  You can sign up for your very own membership at www.beautyfix.com.
