What do you have in your purse? Unless you’re carrying a miniscule clutch, you should pack an arsenal of essentials in your handbag for life’s little emergencies. Check out our picks for beauty must-haves that should have a spot in every purse and handbag.
Why stock beauty essentials?
- Impromptu sleepovers (nice for the morning after)
- Mid-day touchups
- Post-work plans (when you don’t have time to go home first)
- Spills, stains and other food-related mishaps
- Post-gym refresher
- Quick pick-me-ups (you’re having a bad day and you need to feel pretty)
- Makeup meltdown fixes
6 items to keep in your bag
Cleansing wipes
They’re great for dealing with messes such as spills and exploding pens — plus, they can fix makeup mishaps (smudged mascara) and cleanse your face after a workout.
Hand cream
Depending on the season, your climate and the type of atmosphere in which you work, you never know when your hands will need an extra dose of moisture.
Breath mints
For all the times you get called into a meeting directly after eating something containing garlic, breath mints are clutch. You never know who will be next to you in the elevator or across the boardroom table, so be prepared.
Lip gloss
A fresh coat of gloss enhances your pout without making you look like you’re trying too hard.
Oil-blotting papers
When your face gets shiny, don’t add another layer of powder. Instead, use oil-blotting papers. Relatively easy to find at drugstores, they fit in even the smallest purse and combat excess shine without disturbing makeup.
Facial spray
This handy spritz helps refresh makeup, hydrates skin, wakes up a tired face and cools skin down on a hot day.
