If you do not want to carry your entire makeup set, at least make sure you have your lipstick or lip gloss, face powder and compact mirror. This comes in handy in situations where you suddenly see someone you want to impress, or you are in the office and you have a sudden important meeting. You can easily repair your lipstick and powder your face. Use the compact mirror to ensure you have done a presentable job.
Combs are a quick savior when you have hair problems. When the wind messes up your hair or you ruin your hairdo after leaning in the office chair for too long, you can quickly run the comb through your hair and look presentable in seconds.
A wallet allows a woman to carry a lot of important items. The slots in the wallet come in handy as you can place your license, credit cards, business cards, reminder notes, mobile numbers and even a sentimental picture. Always ensure your wallet has some cash; you may run into an emergency or see a purchase that you crave.
Sanitary supplies include items such as tampons or a sanitary pad. Wet wipes or hand sanitizer come in handy when you dirty your hands and there is no nearby water supply. Tissues are also useful in case you spill something or as an alternative to a handkerchief.
A roll-on or a mini-spray perfume is important as it ensures you keep your scent through out the day, especially if you have been running chores through out the day. Dab it on yourself to mask any sweat odors.
Painkillers such as aspirin come in handy for any headaches that arise. For example, when your children have been making too much noise throughout the day, you are under pressure at work or you have cramps, they come as a welcome relief.
Cellphones are vital for every woman as they help you stay in touch with people and get assistance in an emergency.
