For a lot of us out there when we leave the house in the morning we are gone for most of they day. Whether we're at work or school, we're busy all day. For the woman who is constantly on the go, there is no reason why you're purse should be filled to the brim with all kinds of products you don't really need. So, let's get our handbags organized and simplified! Here is a list of everything you need to keep you looking put together and refreshed throughout the day.
Bobby pins are a definite must have. I think I have them stashed in every makeup and handbag I own. Whether you're changing your hairstyle for an after work cocktail with the girls or using them to temporarily fix a fallen hem line on your pants, bobby pins are a multifaceted necessity.
Cream eyeshadows are great for the girl on the go. Keep a neutral color like Trish McEvoy's 24 Hour Eyeshadow and liner in Smokey Quartz in your bag for a one step eye. Blend it from the lash line to your crease with your ring finger and it will stay put all day. Finish with a few coats of mascara and your eyes are done!
A great brow pencil should be a staple in your bag. Your brows are the most important feature on your face, so they should not be forgotten. A little light pencil to define them will instantly give your eyes a polished lift.
Mascara may be the one beauty product that I absolutely cannot live without. With just a few swipes you look bright-eyed and lively. Of all the mascaras I've tried (dozens upon dozens), there is one that out shines them all. Christian Dior Diorshow is the one and only. I keep one in my handbag and one in my makeup bag.
Lip and cheek colors are great little combos! They come in gel sticks or creamy compacts in a variety of colors that universally flatter lips as well as cheeks. Try Stila's Convertible Lip and Cheek Color in Peony — it's the perfect pink to give your cheeks a flush of color and your lips a just bitten look.
