Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

So I recently put together a mini-emergency beauty kit for my purse. I wanted to downsize my handbag without foregoing quality. I have never carried a separate ‘makeup/touch-up bag’ so this is fairly new (though it shouldn’t be!). I would love to see the little kits and mini back-up ideas that everyone uses. Please include dimensions of your kit, as well as an itemized list of everything you packed inside. I really wanted something I could toss from purse to clutch, and with a recent purchase I received a Deborah Lippmann nail kit online here at Sephora with the absolute CUTEST pink holographic zippered bag. That was my inspiration, and here is my end-product. Let’s see yours! Dimensions: 4.5” x 3.5” Items included: * ABH compact mirror * Gum * Whish Deodorant Wipe * Sephora hair band * Bandaid * Safety pin * Isabel Sophia mini EO * Essential oil Sleep Pillow Spray * 2 OB * ABH mini Brow Wiz * Butter London Minj Gloss * Aveda Stress-Fix Lotion * Elizabeth & James Nirvana * Bvlgari Omnia Crystal (HG) * Hermes Twilly * Trèstique lip pencil * UD Stark Naked Lip Pencil-perfect use for the one that is almost out * Mini Benefit Stick Highlighter

@eshoe you have the best ideas! I am definitely making this a goal for 2019 (or sooner)!

Re: RE: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

Thank you, @christyrc😊 it’s just so helpful to have little comforts when you need something right away! Also, it’s kinda fun to be able to help someone else in a pinch;)

@eshoe. My pouch is 7x5 and is pretty beat up even after I wash it but I can’t let it go because my brother bought it for me when he was in Hawaii. In my kit I have a travel size mirror comb, travel size rewetting drops, a pad, travel size deodorant, blot sheets, a hair tie, mini tweezers, Anastasia brow wiz, Fenty lip gloss, MAC blot powder and I used to carry a travel size perfume.

@SportyGirly125 I 💗 your little pouch! And the story behind it is even sweeter, I love that. Now if I could only remember to restock when I use up items in mine, ha!

Re: RE: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

@eshoe I hate when I forget to restock my items too!!!

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

I thought I was the only person who did this! I have a mini purse pack inside all my bags depending on size. Each has (at least): an invisibobble hair tie, bandaids, lip balm, blotting papers, mini mirror compact (generally the ones that come when you receive a Sephora gift card), mini fragrance sampler or one of the 100pt rewards size, mini deodorant sample size (I use a natural one that’s a cream consistency), mini hand cream, mini mouthwash, one of those tiny packages of Tylenol (I believe they hold 10), a mini face moisturizer (I get incredibly dry sometimes because of the heater/AC situation in my office), and a lip product! For the lip product I usually choose something in the nude-maybe shade range, but mostly it’s determined by what’s closest to being finished 😂 bonus items in bigger purses: toothbrush and toothpaste, foldable hairbrush

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

An Invisibobble is a great idea, @cianni! Thanks for sharing, I use mine almost every time I’m out. I need to throw a few of those tiny bands for hair in, too, so I have a few to spare😉

@eshoe I love this idea!!! I definitely need to put together a little one for my purse. I do this for when I travel but I think every day use is a great idea too!

RE: Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

@blackdragon, that NYX foundation stick sounds like a great addition! I have a Tarte foundation stick I received as a GWP but I ordered the wrong color so it’s a loss. I really like the idea of adding one to my bag though, especially since it could double as a concealer! The only lip product I have consistently repurchased is a Burt’s Bees Lip crayon in Sedona Sand. It stays put and has a little bit of shine without being too drying. The Nars Rikugien lip pencil would be my hands down favorite if it lasted longer. Good luck finding the perfect one for you:)

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

Great idea, @eshoe! I used to have one of these years ago, but I kept adding things to it and it eventually got too bulky so I had to stop carrying it around in my smaller bags. I might have to try putting together a new, smaller version though. Thanks for the inspiration! 

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

fun idea @eshoe ! I actually have the Pinch Provisions one which is a premade one so that's what I keep in my work bag. I shoved a mini lippie and mascara into it (it's pretty small so this was not super easy lol) but it's the perfect little kit. Most of my commute is walking so It's good to have what I need without adding a ton of additional weight to my bag. I always have to remember to replenish the advil when I use it as well.

RE: Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

@Kim888, I didn’t think about about a mini mascara-I have a bunch, too. I have seen those Pinch Provisions, and have almost bought one many times. I decided to be resourceful and shop my stash, but love those sets😊

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

@Kim888 I was considering buying this! It looks like a great kit! I’d probably slightly tweak it a little, like you, and add a couple makeup items- and maybe take out a couple things to make it fit better! 👌😉

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

This a wonderful idea! I love the items you put together for this! @eshoe 🙌😉

Re: Beauty Emergency Kits - Let’s Share

@eshoe Love it!
