The first few times you sleep over at your significant other’s, he probably hasn’t cleared out and offered you a drawer yet for your essentials. So, what to pack in your purse to cover your bases without looking like a crazy bag lady?
Here are a few sassy suggestions:
The Essentials:
Don’t be caught have to ask him for some deodorant, make sure you are always prepared. The practical things you need such as prescription medicine, contact solution and glasses. If you are taking some meds, you don’t need to lug the entire medicine cabinet with you; try putting a few of whatever pills you need in a cute little novelty tin.
The Hygiene:
There’s nothing sexy about leaving foundation skid marks on his pillow or waking up with stale booze breath. Even if you’re down with washing your face with bar soap or whatever he has lying around, if you’re wearing eye makeup you’ll want to bring eye make-up remover unless you want him to see you looking like a raccoon in the AM. Try individually-wrapped eye make-up removing wipes. And while you can probably bum some paste, you may want bring your own toothbrush. Look in the travel-sized section of your convenience store for a miniature one with a travel case. And, in case of emergency, always have a tampon or two in your bag.
The Vanity:
Your brand new Sephora train case is adorable, but you don’t have to lug it over to his place just because you are going to stay until morning. We all have shelves full of product, but you don’t need much to refresh your face in the morning after you brush your teeth and hair, just bring concealer for any dark eyes, mascara to make them pop and lipgloss for your pucker.
