Always be prepared! You never know when you need a quick fix to look your best! Here are some things for your beauty survival kit.
Clear lip gloss or chapstick - nothing is uglier than dry, cracked lips!
Mini trial size perfume- Freshen up anytime you like by carrying a miniature purse-sized or sample sized fragrance with you.
Hairspray or gel – Pack a miniature bottle of hairspray or gel. You'll be thankful you did!
Visine and pressed powder – A tiny drop applied to a bright red blemish can often tone down the abrasive color, which can then be further diminished with a gentle blotting of pressed powder complementary to your skin tone. Get the red out of your eyes as well as dust off the shine with the powder.
Tissues – Spills, tears, cleanup. You need this for sure in your bag!
Mini bottle of lotion – Dry, flakey skin is a no-no. In an emergency you may use lotion on the eyebrows and hair to get fly away in tact.
Clear nail polish – Fixes panty hose runs. Adds some shine to your nails.
Dental floss or toothpick - Can't imaging being without floss. Gets that cracked piece of pepper out of your smile!
Listerine strips – Fresh breath in an instant! Tiny and you can even put 2 on each side of your mouth for real fresh breath.
