10 Things Every Beauty Editor Keeps on Her Desk
Find out which products beauty editors have on hand at all times -- then stock your desk accordingly
If you love beauty products and love to write, there's no sweeter gig than being a beauty editor. We get to test, review, and write about almost every new product that hits the market. Of course we'll never be paid like hedge fund managers, but that seems like a fair tradeoff.
Even beauty editors who have been in the business for decades have soft spots for certain products: Some collect mascaras, some love eco labels, and others hoard neon nail polishes -- the same way someone who works in fashion might have 100 pairs of shoes. But if you were to check out any beauty editor's desk -- from an assistant to an editor-in-chief -- you'd find a lot of similarities. In addition to the things we're each personally obsessed with, there are certain things that 99 percent of us have on hand all the time.
Jump ahead to see the products we keep within arm's reach.
While we thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse at the workspace of a beauty editor, there are also some inherent tips in this roundup. Remember, we've tried everything -- and these are the products we deem special enough to take up real estate next to our computers. They inspire us while we're writing, make us feel and smell better and, of course, they're pretty enough to look at all day, five days a week. Keep reading to find out what your desk is currently missing.
