By yana

Are you Fabulously40 and beyond?  Do you travel and sometimes need to pull an all nighter?  Never leave your house without these essentials:

makeup

*Lip Glass will keep your lips chap free and kissable

*Dental floss.  *  Toothpaste        *Mini Mouth Wash

(will leave you feeling fresh regardless of how many hours you've been up)

  • Mini Hairspray.   (no need for a bad hair day)
  • Perfume sample -  usually are fairly small and okay to carry on the plane.
  • Visine  ? it gets the red out
  • Mini-lotion ? to cure dry hands or flaky legs.
  • Mini deodorant. Keep dry and fresh in any crisis.
  • Clear nail polish to fix any runs or snags you may get in your hose.
  • Tampon or mini pad ? just in case.
  • Bronzing powder ? comes in handy as blush or eye shadow and even under clear gloss on your lips.
  • Mascara ? to make your eyes stand out.

    • Love the list.  

      I had to run out of the house without makeup a few months ago, because I was running late, and I thought I’d put some makeup on in the car at red lights. As it turns out, I hadn’t thought of things like mascara, and I don’t have eyebrows! :) (And I hadn’t thought to put an eyebrow pencil in my purse.) Thankfully my friend who I was going out with had all those things in her purse, so I could at least look like I came from planet Earth.

      I would add to the list: some sort of oil-blotter or pressed powder.

      Thanks Yana!

      Namaste,

    • Suzann - you are funny - who said that planet earth creatures need eyebrows ?  

      Yours and Yana’s post really says a lot about the two of you vs. me. Why ?? Because I need a complete arsenal of CONCEALER !!!!!  I can do without almost anything else.  

      I keep a very small bag with me at all times that has a lip pencil, a small lip and cheek tint, and then I have a small pill box ( from CVS) with four compartments. I put a little concealer of different shades in three of the compartments and the fourth has a lipstick that doubles as a blush.  

      Oh and I take a small tube of moisturizer with SPF in it EVERYWHERE.
