Everyone knows that a lady’s purse is her toolbox, her lifeline, her entire universe all packed into a tiny compartment. From the basic needle and thread to the most dangerous weapon ever, pepper spray! We have it all!
So ladies get in here! Going on a date means you have to be prepared for whatever the universe might throw at you. So let’s put the right tools in your purse for the night.
1. A compact mirror, please
One of the basic date night beauty essentials is the trusty compact mirror. It’s a known fact that most ladies rely on their phone screens, but it’s never entirely comfortable! A portable compact mirror is a necessary tool that shouldn’t be taken for granted.
2. A compact powder
There is a high possibility that your makeup might smudge at one point or the other. Be it as a result of some unavoidable tears because of a super romantic/emotional moment or a few stolen kisses. Compact powder is a light date night beauty essential that doesn’t take up too much space. “A trip to the restroom” will have your makeup looking on fleek just as before. With this in your purse, you might not need to carry an extra mirror as it serves both purposes.
3. A hair band
Long weaves are always fabulous till it’s time to dive into that delicious meal and the hair keeps getting in your way. Save yourself the stress by simply taking a fancy hair band along. And please sis, do not opt for rubber bands. They can be tacky, unreliable and easily misplaced.
4. The magic scent in a bottle
Smelling good is good business! A good scent can make anyone fall in love in split seconds (Okay, maybe not but you get the drift.) Carrying along your favourite fragrance will go a long way in helping you have a fantastic date night. This is especially necessary if you are not going for the date straight from home. A little top up will have you smelling like heaven.
5. ‘Vex’ Money
You think this is not one of the most important date night beauty essentials? We are very sure no one will feel very pretty when they find themselves in an embarrassing situation that they cannot get out of. Going on a date with enough extra cash to get you out of there if things turn sour is the smart thing to do. Worst case, take your ATM card. Do not get caught unawares, love.
Note that it’s also important to keep the contents of your purse minimal and light. So keep those date night beauty essentials to items that are absolutely important. You don’t want your purse weighing like a whole apartment.
Now here’s how to do ombre lips like a pro and have it last all day so you don’t have to carry lipstick around in your purse.
