Hi Girls,
Handbag Essentials:
2. Compact: A compact is very essential in any girl’s handbag. Compact soaks excess oil, refreshes makeup and gives an instant brighter/fresher look.
3. Wet Tissues: Keep a small packet of wet tissues in your handbag while travelling. You can clean your face with wet tissues and start your makeup again while long distance travelling. When I went on a tour to Kashmir with my family, wet tissues were like my savior. I used to clean my face with wet tissue and then use sunscreen for maximum sun protection as higher the place we are on, more harmful are the sun rays! Wet tissues can also be used to clean hands if you don’t have a sanitizer handy.

4. Hair Brush/Comb: You all know how handy a comb can be for you! You can tame your tresses whenever you want by running a comb through them. Keep a small comb or brush in your bag that won’t reserve much space.
5. Hand Sanitizer: Hand sanitizer is a must in any handbag and is a staple product in my handbag. Santiizer is good from hygiene purpose and I make sure to use it before eating anything.
6. Safety Pin: You should keep a safety pin handy with you all the time coz you never know when you may need it. It can save you from a lot of embarrassing moments like fixing your broken footwear, broken purse string, dress, etc.
7. Paper Soap: Paper soap is quite useful when you go somewhere and you don’t find a hand wash there, just take out the paper soap from your bag and wash your hands with it.
9. Hand Mirror: If your compact has a mirror then no need to carry a separate mirror but if your compact doesn’t have it then it’s better to carry a separate mirror coz mirror is very useful for makeup retouch.
10. Lip Gloss/Tinted Lip Balm: You should keep either one of these in your handbag. A lip balm helps keep lips moisturized and hydrated, adds a sheer touch of color if it’s tinted and protects your lips from sun if it has got SPF. Make sure to keep a lip balm with SPF while travelling. A lip gloss adds some color to lips giving your face a fresh look.
11. Blotting Paper: If your skin is oily and turns in an oil pan often then oil absorbing sheets or blotting paper should be must in your handbag. You try wiping your face with paper towel/handkerchief but you still see oil on your face, then there is no better way than investing in oil blotting sheets, just press one blotting paper on your face and you’ll see all your face’s oil on the blotting paper and your face again as matte and fresh.
12. Blush (Optional): This is just optional and depends on your preference but I like to carry a mini blush with me on long distance so that I can add a sheer touch of color to my cheeks when I get off the car before reaching my destination and I look presentable with a fresh look.
13. Sunscreen: You know how important it is to carry a sunscreen with you all the time and you may also know the rule of applying sunscreen after every 2-3 hours and so your bag must have a sample sized sunscreen everytime you leave the house so that you can re-apply it often throughout the day and keep yourself protected from those harsh sun rays.
14. ATM/Debit Card: You should keep debit card with you so that you can make transaction whenever you want from anywhere.
15. Hair Accessories: Carry few bobby pins, hair ties, clutcher to tie back your hair when you want your hair to stay away from your face.
16. Healthy Snack: You should keep some sort of healthy snack in your handbag. I like to keep one seasonal fruit, some nuts, granola bar and some market bought healthy snacks.
I’ll be soon coming up with my handbag essentials as someone asked me few days back what’s in my bag so will share my handbag essentials too.
That’s it! Hope you enjoyed reading this post, let me know if I missed any other handbag essential!
