Handbag Must-Haves

Love them or hate them the Kardashian/Jenner clan are pretty hard to ignore, not least because their faces are splashed about magazine covers and all over the internet. If you’re a beauty fan they’re trend-setting ways tend to be ones to watch. So when The Telegraph had an interview with Kylie Jenner in which she revealed the beauty product she would never leave the house without, well, the Crew and I had to read on…

The answer?

Chapstick and a lip liner. 

Ok, so that’s two beauty products Kylie can’t leave the house without, but still.., I was rather amazed. That’s nothing! I ran for my tote and rifled through it to find three lipsticks, a lip balm, blotting papers, and powder for touch-ups during the day. Kylie Jenner is even more low maintenance than myself! Who knew!? 

It did get me thinking though of all the beauty products we could leave the house with, and what the pros were for each. There was facial mist, because it hydrates and freshens the skin. Perfume, because a spritz of something you love can brighten even the downest of days. Concealer, because you never know when a pimple is going to pop up in an explosion or angry redness. Powder, for when your foundation starts patching off and you need to freshen up your face. Lipstick is a biggie. A lipstick can take you from drab to fab in a couple of swipes. Lip balm, because having dry lips is uncomfortable and not particularly pretty if they’re flaking all over the show. The list could well go on…

If it were me who had to choose just one product to leave the house with, I think it would have to be lipstick. A bright one. So if I did happen to have a pimple appear, or if my foundation decided to go all patchy, or if an oil slick chose to take up residence on my forehead, the brightness of the lippy would hopefully distract from the hot mess.

I asked around the Crew, and the First Lady, Nat, was all about a multi purpose balm. Apparently she’s currently using (or in her own words ‘hammering’) one and it goes everywhere with her, and is used as a lipbalm, brow tamer, healing balm for scratches and cuts – she even applies it to where her shoes are rubbing her feet. The woman is a genius. 

As for Head Pixie, who for some crazy reason is all about going make-up free at the moment, she was all for a lip balm. Not even a tinted one. Just one that would keep her lips moisturised. Although MAC Twig came a close second. 

Tabatha chose a nude eye palette. Much like the First Lady she figured she could use it for more than one thing - doing her brows, contouring, highlighting, using it as a nude lippy, oh, and for its original use as an eyeshadow. Up there for thinking, Tab!

So it got us thinking, what beauty product would our gorgeous Beauty Review members not be able to leave the house without? One item. Only one. No doing a Kylie and choosing two.

Oh man..... it's not really what I must bring with me, but more what I can't do without facing the world, which are my brows! My brows must always be on point before I go, even if I'm having a "no makeup" day, my brows will always need to be done if everything else isn't on! If I had to choose a product, probably my eyelash curler. It helps me look more awake even if there's nothing on my eyelids and lips.

I always have lip balm with me and perfume, I always spray it and have some in my locker at work!

Leave the house without? Lip balm. Only wearing one thing? Eyebrow product

It would definitely have to be lip balm for me. I get so uncomfortable when my lips are dry and it becomes the only thing I can focus on!

14th April, 2016

I always have lip Balm with me. Always.

14th April, 2016

Hmmmm it would have to be lip balm.

14th April, 2016

Mine is perfume...I even keep a stash at work. I love to smell good :)

I agree a lip balm is essential... even a multi-purpose balm (I still have my favorite mummy-type product stocked up)... and perfume is essential!! it can lift a mood in a single spritz... it's a superhero of beauty items

Lip balm & face powder. Actually there's many products I can't leave the house without but those are the main beauty ones.

There's a reason I have a huge handbag!

14th April, 2016

Mine would be whatever lip stick I'm wearing that day or if I'm really really honest I am never without a lip balm/ oil for my lips!

14th April, 2016

Lip-gloss.
