Moisturiser
Nobody wants to step outside with dry skin—however, winter weather forces us to do just that. With this in mind, always be prepared with a moisturiser that can be applied to both your hands and face.
SOS concealer
Dark circles and unwanted pimples are definitely not a girl’s best friend. Always carry a handy concealer for those unexpected skin issues.
Lip balm
Similar to moisturiser, there’s simply nothing worse than dry, cracked lips. Make sure you always have a go-to lip balm somewhere in your bag in case of an emergency.
Sunglasses
If you’re having one of those days where you’d prefer to stay invisible to the world, make sure you carry a pair of sunglasses in your bag.
Hand sanitiser
If you’re out and about, it’s best to carry a small bottle of hand sanitiser. Applying this every time you touch a dirty surface, you’ll be protecting yourself from any nasty germs and bugs.
Hair accessories
Ok, so your hair may look luscious in that down-style, but boy is it annoying! Avoid this irritating scenario all together by carrying a few hair accessories and pins in your handbag.
Nail file
In case of a nail emergency—whether it be a chipped or jagged nail—it’s always a good idea to carry a spare nail file in your handbag.
Painkillers
There’s nothing worse than having a sudden headache appear, especially when you’re on the go. To bust these unwanted aches, always be armed with a packet of painkillers.
Dry shampoo
If you’re constantly on the run, you’ll probably find your hair looses its va-va-voom. Give it back some body with a few sprays of dry shampoo—ahh, that’s better!
