A boss lady is known for getting sh*t done. When there's a problem, she solves it. If someone has a question, she has the answer. Plus, a true #girlboss always manages to look polished and put together — no matter how many meetings are on her calendar. That's why her desk is stocked with everything she needs to transition from the boardroom to after-five drinks.
From an attention-grabbing rouge lipstick to a luxe solid perfume, these products will keep you looking immaculate even if you only have two minutes to run out the door. If you're spending most of your time grinding at work, your cubicle should be outfitted with chic products to reflect the poised woman you are, right? Keep reading to discover everything you need to make your desk the envy of every other woman in the office.
Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Solid Perfume Compact
Instead of housing a huge fragrance bottle at your desk, opt for a sleek solid perfume compact ($48). Dab some on your wrists when you need a refresh and toss it in your purse if you're running out for an event. The luxurious gold-and-black packaging will immediately elevate your workspace.
Burberry Kisses Lipstick
Thou shalt always keep a posh tube of red lipstick ($33) at your desk to amp up your power pout.
Tweezerman Mini Nail Rescue Kit
A broken nail can put a dent in your day, especially if you don't have the proper tools to snip and shape them. Keeping this mini nail kit ($22) at your desk will come in handy when your mani is in trouble.
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream
Keep your digits handshake-ready with this supersoft hand and nail cream from Caudalie ($15). The nourishing oils will keep your hands moisturized without leaving grease stains on your keyboard. Plus, the classic French brand will dazzle next to your sleek office decor.
Show Beauty Premiere Dry Shampoo
No product revives a blowout better than a spritz of dry shampoo. Using this little black bottle ($47) will make you feel like you just stepped off of a high-fashion runway. Excessive hair flipping will be required — with the office door closed, of course.
Deborah Lippmann Hard Rock Top and Base Coat
Primed and polish nails are essential to a boss lady's beauty routine. Keep this clear coat ($20) nearby for when your lacquer needs a glossy touch-up. An extra layer of topcoat will make your manicure last longer than a week.
Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper
If your skin is on the oily side, blotting papers should be the first thing you store in your work drawer. This pastel-blue pouch ($19) is also the chicest way to keep your shine-stopping papers in one place.
Fresh Sugar Nourishing Lip Balm Advanced Therapy
Forgetting your lip balm at home is a nightmare — but not when you have one waiting for you at work. Keep your pout nourished and soft all day long with this mint-flavored balm ($30). The classic brand is functional, and the packaging is pretty to look at.
Sephora Collection Three's a Charm Hair Ties
A hair tie should live everywhere: on your wrist, in your purse, and on your desk. These hair pieces ($12) are decked out in golden charms, so they're pretty enough to upgrade your just-ran-out-the-house ponytail and cool enough to double as an accessory.

Flawless hair doesn't mean trucking heavy paddle brushes in your bag. This classic pocket-size Mason Pearson ($105) will be your secret to tangle-free strands. You'll be guilty of giving your colleagues major hair envy.
Charlotte Tilbury + Norman Parkinson Dreamy Glow Highlighter
Keep this classic gold compact ($65) close when you want to give yourself a dewy glow, or use it to check yourself out to make sure your hair and face are on-point.
