Nothing is worse then being out-and-about and not having that one item that you need. You always want to be ready for whatever it going to happen, but it can be hard to always have everything you need, especially when you are switching purses. I have put together a list of all the things that I carry in a small cosmetic bag. This way I can easily transfer from one purse to another and I always have the products with me that I need.
1. Tinted Lip Moisturizer
Lipstick can be a real pain. A tinted lip moisturize not only adds moisture to your lips, but a little bit of color. You do not have to worry about it rubbing off on your teeth and you can get a subtle color that can be reapplied without a mirror.
2. Oil Blotters
Who has an oily t-zone? I do too! Oil blotters are great to help with this! Now, they make them for multiple skin concerns such as acne or anti-aging. So... hit up your local drug store and pick up whatever kind you need. This is a great product to have that will make you feel like you just washed your face.
3. Translucent Face Powder
If you are like me, then you do not carry around your entire make-up bag. But most make-up needs to be touched up every 4-6 hours. Carrying a translucent face powder with you is going to help clean up your make-up and it is only one product verses however many you have in your cosmetic bag.
4. Lotion
Nothing is worse than having dry hands and needing lotion. We have all have had this experience. Skip the dry hands and carry a small travel size lotion with you in your cosmetic bag. The great thing about this is that when you buy a full size lotion you sometimes also get a travel size!
5. Hand Sanitizer
It never hurts to have this with you. It's always nice to be able to clean your hands before you eat or shake hands with another person. It's always good to be prepared for when you stop at rest stops or gas stations.
6. Mouth Wash/Breath Strips/Breath Mints/Gum
No body likes to be self-conscious about their breath. Carry a travel size bottle of mouth wash, breath strips, gum, or breath mints with you. We also know how much people love sharing gum with everyone around them. Save yourself the trouble from bugging other people and carry your own with you. Now you do not have to worry about bad breath!
7. Pocket Mirror
It always comes in handy. Whether you are reapplying your lipstick or trying to get something that it stuck in between your teeth, a pocket mirror is always a good thing to have with you.
Everyone has different things that they always carry with them. What items do you always have on you?
