At the Vanity

Trish McEvoy Makeup Brushes
These brushes beg to be shown off. The Lucite handles look modern and sleek, and the natural-hair bristles will last for years.

Stephanie Johnson Cosmetic Bags
Swap a so-so tote for a stylish one. These bags are available in fun patterns and are plastic coated (so cleaning is a breeze). And some contain pullout zippered pouches to take with you for touch-ups during the day.

Santa Maria Novella Drawer Liner Tablets
These perfumed wax boards hold preserved cranberries and orange slices, so they smell delicious. Slip them into a drawer, or hang in a closet from the attached silk ribbons.
