She may be a glamour girl, but Melissa Gorga of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (Bravo, Sundays, 10 p.m.) is practical too. “I always have snacks,” says the mom, 33, of Joey, 2, Gino, 4, and Antonia, 6 (with hubby Joe Gorga, 37). That’s why her Be&D bag (beandd.com) is full of Goldfish. “They’re my kids’ favorite!” What’s hers?
Beauty Guru
“I have like, 50 glosses and lipsticks in my purse. One of my favorites is Dior’s Ultra Gloss Glow 256. I am a makeup freak. I even do friends’ makeup when they come over. I’m getting good!” ($28.00, sephora.com)
Chew on This!
“I have a sweet tooth, so for dessert, I’ll chomp on Bubblicious Watermelon Gum.”
Smooth Operator
“I keep Ecru Silk Nectar Serum handy to flatten out my hair because it’s really curly and frizzes quickly. I also get a blowout every three days.” ($32.50, depasqualethespa.com)
Pale Nails
“I always use a light pink Voli polish. I like a natural look.”
Mrs. Clean
“Purell Hand Sanitizer is my must-have. I’ve been a germophobe my whole life. My mother said I used to wash my hands every 20 minutes when I was little!”
