People always say beauty comes from the inside, and the same is true when it comes to your purse - it ’ s what ’ s on the inside that counts. Purses are one of the most popular accessories for a woman, but too much emphasis gets placed on the designer label. However, to get the most out of your purse it’s what you put inside that counts. The modern woman likes to be prepared for any situation and having the right essentials in her purse is one way to ensure this. It is a good idea to have duplicates of your favourite products so that you can keep one set in your purse at all times for touch ups. If your products are too cumbersome, try buying smaller products that will fit easily into a compartment in your purse.
Essentials
∙ Lip Gloss- Everybody has their favourite brand of lip gloss, so buy in doubles and keep one in your purse. It ’ s also a good idea to keep Vaseline in your purse; it can make bare lips instantly glossy and give dull lipstick new shine.
*Try Lancôme Juicy Tubes for a sheer and glossy shine
∙ Bronzer- Bronzer wears off throughout the day, so it doesn’t hurt to put a little more on every few hours to maintain that healthy, sun-kissed glow.
∙ Mascara- You shouldn’t have to reapply good quality mascara throughout the day. And you should always wear waterproof to avoid smudging. But you never know, so keep an extra in your purse. **Makeup samples make great purse products, so try to scoop some up as often as possible!
∙Compact mirror- Never just guess what you are doing; always use a mirror! Purse mirrors are also great for checking your teeth after a meal.
Secret Weapons
∙ Oil cleansing wipes- This product is a must have for people who have skin with oily tendencies. They wipe away grease, dirt and oil making the face instantly appear cleaner. They are made by a variety of brands (Clearasil Oil Control Cleansing Wipes are easy to find), but there won’t be much discrepancy between brands.
∙ Stain remover wipes- These are essential for that drop of coffee that dripped on your white shirt before you even got to work. There are many different brands to choose from.
∙Mini tissue pack- Whether you have allergies or a lipstick disaster, a mini pack of tissue always comes in handy.
∙Feminine products- Never leave home without them! Enough said.
∙Hand lotion- You should wash your hands whenever you get the chance, especially if you are running around town, but most generic soaps dry out hands. Keep some hand cream in your purse and your hands will thank you for it.
*Better yet- Get hand sanitizer with moisturizer. Try available almost anywhere.
