Melissa Roxburgh: What’s in My Bag? Perfume, Hot Sauce, and More Surprises!
From wellness essentials like peach mango electrolyte packs to unique items such as a Brooklyn Nets business card saved for game day, Melissa Roxburgh’s purse — especially her DeMellier’s Miami bag in Warm Raffia Black Smooth — is filled with surprises! (Also included is an NYPD courtesy card, “so if I do something naughty, I can get out of jail,” she jokes.)
The actress carries everyday beauty must-haves, including chapstick, Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat Lip Pencil, and Ormonde Jayne’s Muscat Eau de Parfum.
When it comes to cosmetics, Roxburgh is refreshingly candid, admitting she doesn’t organize them in a makeup bag. “It’s like a blind hunt — I reach into my bag and just feel for the right item. I am not classy.”
Her iPhone, tucked in an Otterbox case, helps her master Spanish on Duolingo, search for vintage items on eBay, or “dream of a home” on Zillow. (Stars really are just like Us!)
Scroll down to discover what else Roxburgh carries in her purse, from under-eye concealer to hot sauce:
Camera
“I always carry a camera with me of some kind,” shares the Manifest alum, referencing her Fujifilm X100VI. “I love capturing little moments.”
Candy
“My co-star Josh [McKenzie] has been a bad influence when it comes to candy,” the actress jokes. “I’m really into [Jolly Rancher Sour Gummies] right now.”
Pens
Roxburgh keeps “a bunch of scattered random pens” at the bottom of her bag, using different colors to take notes for her courses. (She’s currently pursuing a nutrition health certificate with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.)
Makeup
The former Supernatural star swears by Tarte’s renowned Shape Tape Concealer for its great staying power. “I’ve had some dark circles haunt me my entire life,” she jokes.
Fragrance
“I really hate smelling bad; I can look tired or less than perfect, but I can’t stand the idea of smelling bad,” the TV star quips. Perfume is essential in her purse. “I’m really obsessed with the Byredo Vanille Antique.”
Condiment
She never leaves home without hot sauce: “Baby Tabascos are the way to go.”
