A girls handbag is almost as intriguing as Pandora’s box. And while boys may be deemed to open it up, we all know that there are always a couple of things that we cannot live without. Today, we’re going to let you in on the go-tos a every beauty girl, fashion girl, working girl and college girl needs in her handbag… Because well, sometimes you just never know where the day/night takes you!
1. Mascara
Mascara is always a must for any girl. Even if your sans makeup or eyeliner, mascara has magical powers to transform your look, and make you go from drab to fab (ish)!
2. Lip Balm
No one likes to sit across a person whose lips look like a crater. Which is why come hail or storm, one must carry lip balm! You can opt for a transparent one or you can go in for one with a glossy tint to it.
3. Brown Eye Pencil
Now this baby is one of our faves! It not only will solve your eyeliner problems but it’s a 3-in-1 wonder. You can use brown eyeliner to; tight-line your waterline/use as a kohl, fill in your eyebrows and line your lips!
Exhibit A…
4. Perfume
When you walk into a room, you’re going to want people to know you have arrived—Not let them run away from you! And if you’re deodorant has run out on you by the end of the day, it’s always a goo idea to carry a mini perfume in your handbag.
5. Pink Lipstick
Another beauty product, another multipurpose must-have. Pink lipstick (whether cream or gloss or stain-based) can have more than one benefits. You can of course apply it to your lips. But you can also use it when you need to add some colour to your cheeks. And as an eyeshadow too!
6. Powder Compact
Admit it or not but touch-ups are necessary. That is why is just might be the most important product you can ever carry with you. After an 8-9 hour day at the office, who wouldn’t want to look amazing at the after-drink party?
7. Bobby Pins
Whether straight or curl, or wavy. Bobby pins will save your life. Say you want to wear your hair differently for a meeting? Bobby pins. Say your perfectly straightened hair becomes frizz-central after a sudden downpour? Bobby pins!
