The Beauty Specialist’s handbag essentials
There are certain must-have beauty products every woman needs in her handbag. Read on below to find out some of The Beauty Specialist’s essential additions:
Nail file
Firstly, every bag needs a quality nail file. You never know when tragedy will strike and you either break or chip a nail. When this happens, you need to access a nail file fast to prevent further breakage. Find a small handbag-friendly nail file to have on call whenever you need it.
Hand cream
A small tube of hand cream is a must-have for any busy woman on the go. Having easy access to hand cream means you remember to reapply throughout the day, keeping your hands and nails moisturised to prevent the signs of ageing. Our favourite here at The Beauty Specialist is the “https://thebeautyspecialist.com.au/product/hand-body-moisturising-emulsion-35-5ml/”Jessica Hand and Body Moisturing Emulsion.
Perfume
Applying a few spritzes of perfume throughout the day leaves you feeling confident and ready to take on the world. Make sure to throw a travel-sized version of your favourite scent in your handbag with you wherever you go. Why not opt for a convenient roll-on perfume that many brands offer? This is a great alternative to bulky bottles that take up valuable space in your handbag.
Minis of your favourite products
Perhaps you’re looking to take some of your favourite beauty products on the go with you but just don’t have the handbag space? Well, then beauty minis are your new best friend. Countless brands have launched travel-friendly sizes of their most loved products, that can be easily carried in handbags and take up minimal space. Stock up on beauty minis from all your favourite brands and never be without your go-to products, even when out and about.
Lip balm
Dry and dehydrated lips are incredibly common, especially during the colder winter months. Make sure to have nourishing lip balm on hand to keep your pout plump and hydrated throughout the day. A great handbag lip balm option would be the “https://www.glossier.com/products/balm-dotcom”Balm Dotcom from Glossier.
Hairbrush
No handbag is complete without a brush for hairstyle touch-ups throughout the day. The problem with bringing along a big, bulky hairbrush is that it can take up a lot of precious space in your handbag. Opt instead for a compact brush like a <a “https://www.lookfantastic.com/tangle-teezer-fine-and-fragile-detangling-hair-brush-mint-violet/11983046.html”Tangle Teezer.
SPF
SPF is a daily skincare necessity, and you should be making sure to top up your sunscreen regularly throughout the day, especially during summer. This helps to give your skin complete protection against harmful UV sun rays. Always bring along a high-factor SPF in your handbag to make it easy to top up every few hours when outside.
Blotting paper
If your skin has a tendency to be on the oily side, you will find that as the day goes on your skin gets shinier. The perfect solution to this is blotting paper! Simply dab a sheet of this paper across oily areas, for example, the T-zone. Excess oil is then soaked up, leaving your skin looking more matte. Sheets of blotting paper are small, convenient and perfect for every summer handbag.
Nude lipstick
Everybody needs a classic nude lipstick (or three!) in their daily handbag. Lipstick is the perfect finishing touch to any makeup look, and carrying a tube with you at all times means reapplying on a night out is easier than ever.
Small makeup bag
For long days at work or travelling, it’s always a good idea to bring along a small makeup bag. Pack your absolute essentials, such as mascara, concealer etc. This means even when you’re running short on time, you can create a makeup look on the go.
