The Model Emergency Kit
Most of us carry a purse pretty much everywhere we go, and the great news is that oversized purses are still on trend, so we can all afford a little space for the 'model emergency kit'.
Find yourself a pretty, washable and compact pouch and add it to your daily essentials, complete with the following contents: Compact mirror It's an obvious one, find yourself a pretty compact and you can check your appearance wherever you are.
Mascara, concealer pen, compact blush, lipgloss/lipbalm If nothing else these four make-up items should always be present in a conscientious fashionista's kit.
Between them they can open up and define your eyes, cover blemishes and dark circles, give your skin a natural glow and defy dry or tight lips.
Breath mints/spray or gum Instant fresh breath can be achieved wherever you are in exchange for a tiny amount of kit space, so get into the habit of carrying one of the above.
Tissues How many times have you found yourself wishing you had even one tissue in your purse? Allergies, upsets and runny noses are never a good look - always carry at least one tissue! Floss or toothpick A smile costs nothing - unless you have a bunch of spinach between your teeth - then it can cost you your dignity! Miniature sunblock We all know that sunblock needs to be applied at least once a day, so keep some in your kit to protect your skin.
Miniature hair product of choice Depending on your hair type or style this could be a dry shampoo, spray conditioner, hairspray or even trial-size gel or wax.
If you get caught in the rain or need to tidy up at some point in the day or evening you'll be glad you included it.
Perfume sample Include a sample of your favorite perfume, it's not essential but it takes so little space for such benefit, why not? Spare pantyhose or miniature clear varnish Stop runs in their tracks with a dab of varnish, or simply change into some fresh hose when you snag the ones you are wearing if you are prepared with one of these items.
Depending on how much room you are prepared to devote to your emergency kit you can personalize it with items that match your style and personality, but we would suggest these as a basis and we think you'll soon see the benefits of being prepared.
