With so many eyes on you, your ‘cleverly packed handbag’ can be your guarantee to shine as the belle of every ball.So, we have curated a guide of tried & tested beauty essentials that you and your bag need this party season…

A moisturising hand cream will ensure that your hands look nourished and hydrated throughout the night since your hands second to your face are the most visible and hence should shine bright. Pro tip: Opt for one that is quick-absorbing, hydrating, has a subtle scent & especially comes in a mini size.

The key to fitting all your essentials in your mini going-out purse is to carry multi-functional products. A hydrating lip balm can easily champion on its own and also become a glossy topper for any lipstick.

Throwing in a mini-perfume is a MUST when packing your purse for the night. A practical way to stay fresh even after hours of dancing. Just adding some discreet spritzes sporadically through the night will ensure you always smell amazing.

The party season comes with a repertoire of drinking & munching, and while it paves the path to set the mood right, it can also lead to bad breath. And that’s when the mouth spray or mints lying in the back of your purse become an undoubted essential, ensuring you’re always ready for close conversations or a little mingling.

Everyone wants to shine & glow when the camera flashes at the parties, but not with excess oil. So our recommendation is to keep the blotting paper handy to effortlessly dab away any excess oil and look your best.
