These handy items will save your day before you run into trouble.
Last minute work drinks and you left your makeup bag at home? Buy an all-in-one makeup stick. This versatile stick will solve all your beauty needs in a flash. With this stick you can touch up your eye shadow, lipstick, and blush within seconds. We like The Multiple by Nars ($39). It comes in many shades and is enriched with Vitamin E and açai oil for antioxidant benefits.
You didn't get your beauty sleep and your dark circles are really showing. Keep a tube of Preparation H Cooling Gel ($13) on your desk. It might sound estrange, but according to makeup artist Victoria Styles this gel really works. A little bit of this gel under your eyes goes a long way. It will wake up your eyes, reduced the redness, puffiness and soothe the skin. There are many varieties of this product, so choose the one you like best and smells better.
You rushed out of the door without a shower and your hair is too greasy! If your pressed powered is in your make up bag you are in business. Of course use it to make up your face, but also apply some on your hair roots to de-grease them. Pressed powder works just like dry shampoo and will absorb any excess oil in your hair. Simply comb to remove the powder and put your hair up in a bun.
You have to shake hands in a minute meeting and your nail polish is dreadful. It's time to invest on nail polish remover pads. They work great on chipped nail polish and 1 pad cleans up to 10 nails. We recommend Ulta ($4), but any other brand will do. The important thing is to remove that half color off your nails.
Your dress got stained during lunch! Stains are embarrassing specially during a long day at the office. Keep a stain remover pen handy for your messy moments. If you act quickly the stain will disappear within minutes and you won't be drawing attention to your dress for the wrong reason. I always use Tide to Go ($3) and it really works.
