Just when I thought I had everything organised, it suddenly dawned on me that my itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, slimline black clutch was going to be a major hurdle in my beauty allowance (that is, how much I can bring with me for inevitable touch-ups) for a day at the races this coming weekend.
Post freak-out and almost-abandonment of my much-loved purse, I got to thinking about some of the new and classic compacts that I couldn’t imagine living without in moments such as these… and I feel it’d be somewhat of an injustice not to share them with you.
Bobbi Brown Nectar Shimmer Brick is a new kid on the block and pretty much the epitome of a peach-pink dream. A sweep across the cheeks is a sure-fire way to perk up any tired, middle-of-the-day make-up look. But you’d better be quick beauties, this particular hue is limited edition and guaranteed to fly off the shelves!
My favourite weapon in the battle against uneven, patchy skin is my Revlon Age Defying Compact Makeup. It’s creamy without being oily, and doesn’t come anywhere near cakey if I have to re-touch certain areas.
Sheer Cover Lip & Eye Colour Compact is my first port of call for dazzling eyes and luscious lips on the go. The array of complimentary colours make transforming day make-up into night an absolute cinch. Oh, and did I mention it’s petite-purse perfect?
What compact cosmetics can’t you live without?
Compacts are lovely
