Face tissues. A travel pack of face tissues will always come in handy, whether to mop up a minor spill or to wipe lipstick off your teeth. Get a good quality one that is gentle and soft so that it does not irritate the skin.
2. Band aids. These are one of the things you should carry in your purse, because there is no knowing when you could get into a minor scrape.
3. Hand sanitisers or alcohol. While handwashing is preferable to get rid of germs, hand sanitisers work great when you do not have access to a sink at the moment.
4. Wallet. It is useful to have your wallet in your handbag to keep your cash and loose change organized. This way, you do not have to go digging into the depths of your bag whenever you need some change.
5. An extra phone charger. It is the worst feeling when your phone dies on you when you really need it. Having a spare charger in your purse can help you avoid this situation.
6. A spare pad or tampon. Women with irregular cycles can especially relate; being caught unaware by your cycle when you are unprepared is no fun. Hormones can go awry, so it is good to be prepared with feminine products on hand.
7. Lip balm. Since we are wearing masks every time we go out these days, our lips are more prone to get dry and become chapped. Keep a small tube of lip balm in your handbag so that it is easy to keep your lips moistened and smooth.
