not even had a chance to check a mirror much less, touch up anything.
My own day to day activities require that I keep essentials on hand so that in the event I have to touch up or refresh prior to hitting an event or meeting a friend, I can do so effortlessly and most importantly, look like it. It's fall now for a lot of us so you have the luxury of keeping a few essential products on hand in your car without having to worry about extreme temperatures that may otherwise damage or melt product.

| The 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid has many nooks to tuck away your essentials like the interior armrest which as you can see, is pretty deep. |
ESSENTIAL MUST-HAVES:
This parfum is actually a great all over refresher spray. Where you go, the scent goes. I would absolutely not limit it to just a hair mist though. It's very light and mellow. Freesia, violet, jasmine, ambrox and musk make up this sublime composition, perfect for layering. You can spray it all over and feel oh so fresh and so clean.
I swear by blotting papers. In a pinch if unable to reach for my powder, blotting papers are a great temporary remedy to reduce oiliness. I particularly love these because they are mint scented and leave my skin soothingly tingly. And mint is actually great for skin. It's an anti-inflammatory so it reduces breakouts. When you go for that mirror check prior to getting out of the car, just a quick dab on those areas most vulnerable which for me are my forehead, nose and chin aka, t-zone, will ensure you don't duck out of pictures.

Produced by Sephora's Kendo in partnership with twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, this exclusive fragrance makes a bold entrance. A floral musk with notes of peony, muguet and musk, this scent is distinct but lasting and the rollerball size makes it easy to apply. I love this scent (I couldn't stop smelling myself), and it layers well over the Marchesa Hair Mist. It mellows out after awhile but it lasts still. Roll behind your ears, inner wrists and back of your calves and you will surely leave a lasting impression wherever you are going
Sephora Collection 8 HR Mattifying Moisturizer Sunscreen
Rarely do I need any added moisture but this one is oil-free and is made to maintain hydration with effective ingredients that produce moisture. If you know you are going to have a long day, I would suggest you start with this as opposed to touching up with it. The mattifying quality reduces shine for up to eight hours. And as added incentive, it has UVA/UVB filters and antioxidants to help combat signs of aging.

The packaging catches your eye immediately. And although a balm, the pigment is rich and the hydration ensures your lips will stay kissable for at least 4 hours. The customized dome shape actually adapts to the shape of your lips for instant color and longer wear. I actually found the shape made the balm easy and quick to apply, even better when rushed. If you want some added color but don't have time to reach for the lip liner and lipstick, this is a luscious alternative.

| By Love, Cortnie. Don't you just love the lining? *swoon* |
And if you are anything like me, you covet your must-have essentials which means I take good care. Items kept in your car should be within easy reach and all together. You don't want to be rummaging under the seats for this product or that product. I love this Love, Cortnie clutch designed by fellow Blogger and Designer Cortnie Elizabeth. This Love, Cortnie Comic Mini Statement Clutch is small enough to fit into one of many compact spaces in the 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid but large enough to contain all essentials. And the lining is super cute and pops with color. And in a crunch if you need a clutch, BOOM!
Which one if not all of these exclusive Sephora products would you add to your beauty arsenal? What are your must-have beauty essentials?
