I like to keep certain products handy in my bag that are great in a pinch to touch up my appearance. This is a lifesaver for me! If you’re in a rush, having these items with you will be super helpful.
Everyone’s essentials will vary, but these are the ones I carry with me. In my bag I have a mini folding hairbrush, moisturizer, a compact mirror, a compact powder, and lipstick.
The mini folding hairbrush takes up minimal space in your bag and helps tame your hair while you’re out. The one I have has a little mirror inside the fold. From my experience, this is so useful on a windy day!
I like to keep an unscented face moisturizer with me incase I have visible dry skin. I also bring a mini scented hand lotion during the winter; this can also double as perfume if you forgot before leaving the house. Just apply the hand lotion to your wrists, collarbone, and behind your ears. This is definitely a good trick in a pinch!
In case you don’t have access to a mirror, carry a compact one in your bag. My hairbrush happens to double as a mirror too, so I don’t need to carry a separate one. This is super helpful in touching up your hair and makeup on the go!
A compact powder is another super convenient product to have handy. I carry my powder foundation with me on days where I have a full face of makeup on. On days where I’m not wearing face makeup, I bring a compact translucent powder to combat any oily skin. Sometimes these items have a compact mirror in them as well, which saves space in your bag!
My favorite item that I always have with me is lipstick. I love switching it up and using a different one each day. This adds a pop of color to your face and complements your complexion!
These are my everyday essentials and I hope you draw inspiration from what I carry with me. Pack your bag with these touch-up items now so you don’t forget them on the run!
