Spring/Summer Closet Cleaning- Replacing the Essentials

Hi all...

today I got rid of a ton of clothes, shoes, purses, makeup, candles, and since I used to work at Victoria Secret, I had stockpiled sooo much underwear that I didn't even like or didn't even fit me. So now I'm looking to replace things that I use everyday and are professional or internship-appropriate :)

Here's some essential things that I probably need to replace:

for shoes:

basic black flats- like these cute ones from Audrey Brooke at DSW :)

for candles:

yummy smelling summer candles like Tiki Beach

for makeup:

a face illuminator like this one from Laura Mercier

gel liner or liquid liner since I have been using a pencil and I don't like it :(

lipgloss (can never have enough of that)

mascara...I like bad gal better than "They're real" 

a new primer

 for perfume:

higher end than the VS and BBW ones...I love Escada but this Marc Jacobs one smells good too

 for purses:

a sturdy tote for work and school
