That boy you’ve secretly had a crush on at work finally calls you after weeks of encrypted text messages back and forth. He wants to meet you after work, which, you realize, is only in a half-an-hour!
There is no way you will have time to go home and change into that cute red dress you just bought. You start thinking this might be a fashion and beauty emergency. You will not allow yourself to have both, as you thank the Sephora gods in heaven for that cherry lip-gloss you brought with you today.
You convince yourself everything is going to be ok, as you practice your yoga breathing exercises and examine your Prada handbag for items that will give you a much-needed quick fix. It’s time to turn on the survival mode and get creative.

2. Tweezers.
Find yourself with a straggling eyebrow hair? Did you happen to get an annoying splinter at work?Tweezers are a sure bet when it comes to handling the little problems in life. They are discreet, pint-sized, and take up little to no room inside your bag.
They can handle any beauty emergency and are multi-faceted. The tweezers are a great way to stay groomed and looking your very best.
3. Lip Gloss. 
In the beauty Bible, this is a handbag must when it comes to keeping your precious lips hydrated, full and luscious. Just a quick application can turn your drab face into a refreshed, sun-kissed beauty.
Make sure to look for a gloss that has a hint of color to add an extra boost to your lips. It is important to keep lip-gloss in stock that protects and heals during those long, cold winter months.
4. Mascara.
Often referred to as the “magic wand,” mascara is a useful tool to giving those lashes the extra lift they need. Now available in tiny sizes, this beauty essential is no bother to cart around in your handbag.It is lightweight, and can come in a variety of shapes, textures, and colors. Sometimes all you need at the end of the day is an extra dosage of mascara. Don’t leave home without this item!
5. Compact with Pressed Powder.
This handy item can often be a lifesaver when it comes to those nasty, ninja zits that pop out of nowhere. No need to fuss and worry if you’re packing this in your purse. Most come with a mirror, which makes application quick and easy. Also useful to combat a shiny nose, the compact is ideal for a girl on the go.(Contributed by Carol Montrose)

ReplyDeleteIn my handbag except the usual stuff I have a separate little bag (sort of like a makeup bag) where I store all my essential handy things.

Another good thing about this little bag is that if you have a spillage it wont leek into your handbag.

Another handy hint is to keep another one of these bags on the side full of makeup so you can use it on the go if you are running late.

To maintain leather goods for longer, oil and polish your leather shoes and bags regularly. Leather dries and it can crack if it becomes too dry. Use a quality saddle soap or beeswax to oil the shoes and then apply a polish to clean them, making them shine.
