I have a survival kit in my hand bag. The latest addition is the Napoleon Camera Finish. If I am out and about and I get a case of the t-zone it is easily fixed. If I am doing an impromptu stay at a friends place then my survival kit lessens the bleary eyed hung over effect of my morning look.

Also in my survival kit is the Clarins lip liner in Heather Pink (with a handy little lip brush on the end). There is also my old trusty Boots lip gloss I bought in London, a stick of red lippy for instant va voom, a small pot of the Cellex C Selene E moisturizer (for extra hydration after too many drinky poos!).

Then there is my Napoleon Perdis Madame Curl Curl Mascara (to avoid attention from blood shot eyes to my lush lashes). And of course the essential Band Aids, tampons, tissues and bobby pins and gum (morning after breath is not something to be shared!).

Twas only Saturday just gone that a friend removed her shoes to dance and promptly decimated four toes. My popularity increased that moment as I became Band Aid girl.

Another friend got a touch emotional that same night and I rescued her snotty nose and running eyes with my emergency tissues and touched up fast with the 'Camera Finish'.

We happened to be at a festival that didn’t seem to feel the need to provide toilet paper (yes indeed, not impressed). But no problem, my survival tissues saved the day and my dignity in that wee small cubicle.

My hand bag is the Swiss Army Knife of female peril and has rescued many a damsel in distress!

Lol! How funny. I'm definately a 'just in case' girl, and it doesn't end at the handbag. My car glovebox is stuffed with body spray, chewies, bobby pins, hair lackeys, wet ones, napkins, phone recharger, lip balm.....You just never know when you're gonna need it!

Sounds like my handbag Allison, I always manage to save the day with obscure items in my handbag - just that I get pestered all the time with..."You wouldnt have ? in your handbag, would you?!" I do recommend those "pursekets" girls, they really do help to organinse your handbag and have a place for everything. They can also be moved from bag to bag.

I think I've seen a thread on pursekets before LB, can you remind me where can you get them from? Such a great idea!

Sounds like you guys are the people to have on hand for a potential emergency (or anything really!). Makes me think of Mary Poppins' magic carpet bag, when she pulls a whole lampshade out.

My handbag is always missing that little something I need...so I usually rely on friends :redcheeks: . Must give them your supply list!

Not quite Mary Poppins but usually manage to save the day!

Pursekets are great, check out the link, wish I had invented them!
