Ok, so maybe you’re not exactly a party-all-the-time kind of girl. But the fact remains that the holidays are upon us, which pretty much means that even the most laid back individuals will have a schedule not unlike Kim Kardashian’s. So let’s learn from the best and do as Kim would do – look absolutely fierce no matter the occasion. Here’s a list of some essentials you should be stashing in your favorite clutch to get through the busiest season of soirees.
A Party Girl’s Survival Kit
MiniMergency Kit – This tiny kit doesn’t just come in an adorable case, it also holds a world of necessities in their most minuscule form. Tampons, mints, nail polish, deodorant, hair elastics, stain remover and safety pin are but a few of the amenities tucked into the MiniMergency Kit for her.
Makeup Kits – Dancing and socializing can make you look a little clammy after a while. Keep a small compact to touch up shiny spots along with a makeup kit that contains a few touch-up colors for blush and eye shadow to always look camera-ready. Motives Compact Beauty is one of my favorite kits with 6 lip colors and 4 eye shadows that fit well in small spaces.
Lipstick/Lip Gloss – If you don’t pack any other makeup in your bag, the one item you should never go without is lip color. Whether you’re wearing lipstick, lip gloss, or a combination of the two, always keep some touch-up color with you to reapply after sipping on champagne. The Motives Red My Lips Palette is always a great on-the-go option in a slim compact with lip brush and mirror.
Band-aids – Dancing the night away in your favorite heels may leave you with a few blisters to bemoan the next day. Keep the situation under control with a couple of small band-aids tucked away in a pocket.
Foldable Flats – When your feet decide at the end of the night that you just can’t take another step in a towering stiletto, you’ll be glad you’ve stuffed a light pair of foldable flats in your purse. Here’s a link to a selection in pretty much every color and pattern imaginable so you can still look stylish in your comfortable option.
Cab Fare – Have some cash or a credit card handy to get a safe ride home after a long night. Your feet will thank you.
