Purse-Sized Holiday Beauty Essentials

The holidays are crammed with activities and during the festivities; a well-stocked purse will become your one-stop beauty shop for staying glamorous. Stock up on purse-sized holiday beauty essentials and keep your glam look at your fingertips. Keep the important stuff, like your holiday goodies, at the ready so you can put your best face forward at a moment's notice. Replenish your miniature beauty essentials as needed and keep extras in your gym bag or glove box. Your purse-sized glamor kit will give you that added boost of beauty you need everywhere you go.

Temporary Toothbrushes: Small fold up temporary toothbrushes fit snugly inside a small holiday person. After dinner out, excuse yourself for a little one on one maintenance in the restroom. Pull out your toothbrush and brush your teeth before puckering up for a kiss. Disposable and temporary, these toothbrushes make excellent purse tools. Just push on the tab at the bottom of the handle. Whitening toothbrushes will make your teeth look whiter in just a few minutes. Toss the toothbrush after each use. Replace toothbrushes daily.

Lip Plumping Mini Glosses: Lip plumpers are all the rage for women who want to get a full lip in just minutes. Although the effects are only temporary, plump lips would be the perfect party accessory. Buy small lip plumpers that come in different colors. Replace lip plumpers once a month.

Antibacterial Gel: Small gel bottles will keep your hands clean when you use public restrooms or have to do a lot of hand shaking. Miniature-size antibacterial gel fits nicely inside a clutch purse or a large handbag. Antibacterial gel bottles should last you a few week. Replace them as needed to fend off seasonal flu bugs.

Highlighting Compact: Small engraved compacts filled with highlighting powder make a perfect Christmas gift for yourself. Tuck your compact inside your evening handbag. The mirror inside the compact will help keep your nose powdered and your face looking luminous. A small compact should be all you need for perfect luminosity all holiday season.

Mini Colored Mascara: Tiny bottles of mascara in flattering colors like deep purple, blue or brown will make your eyes "pop" with color. Dab on mascara whenever you feel your eyes need a little lift.

Unscented Lotion: Unscented lotions will give your hands and arm skin lots of moisture without competing with the scent of your holiday perfume. Unscented lotions give you softness without the drying effect alcohol-based creams can. Use unscented lotions to hydrate skin after a walk outdoors or after an evening around the fireplace. Replace your unscented mini lotion bottles as needed.
