This is the best toiletry bag I’ve found for holding all the stuff I need to get ready at the gym. It has a section for skin and body, a section for hair, a section for makeup brushes and another for items like cotton balls, powder puffs, etc.

This is the perfect duffle bag for the stylish girl who gets ready for work at the gym. I love the faux leather finish and the separate zipper compartment at the bottom to hold my shower shoes and work heels.

Drybar Hot Toddy Heat Protectant Spray
My hair is usually the last step in my routine so my curling iron is still hot when I need to pack up my bag. With this mat, I can throw it in and not worry about it burning anything in my bag.
ZAXOP Silicone Mat Pouch for Hot Hair Tools
The BEST … I repeat, the BEST texture spray! It smells so good and gives my curls that perfect beachy undone look. It’s a big on the larger size for a travel spray but worth the space in your bag.
