Without overstuffing your purse with countless things, I’ll let you in on several items you should always include in your purse before leaving your home, whether it be for a fast touch-up or being ready for any surprise that decides to happen when you’re out and about.

After leaving my parents’ home and setting out on my own as an adult and college student, I put together a small collection of necessary, compact, and multipurpose items that you should always keep in your purse.
Lip Care
Whether it be lip gloss, chapstick, lipstick, or lip oil. Having chapped lips or lipstick that has faded throughout the day is always not bearable. Whatever lip care product you keep in your bag will come in handy for a fast touch-up.
Compact Mirror
A compact mirror will ultimately help you in the long run! I know that some of us rely on staring into the front camera or phone reflection, which although practical, doesn’t do us justice. Your touch-ups will be quick and simple to do if you invest in a little mirror that fits easily in a pocket.
Hand Sanitizer
Whenever you go, there are germs. As there is no way to escape them when you are out, always have hand sanitizer with you, to keep yourself safe and healthy. If there isn’t a sink nearby, using hand sanitizer is the ideal alternative.
Tissue
Having a travel pack of tissues is something that comes in handy all the time. Tissues will come in handy whether you have a runny nose, smudged makeup, or an unexpected spill.
Mints/Gum
You never know who you’re going to run into, especially after your scrumptious garlic lunch, so mints or mint-flavored gum are vital to keeping in your purse.
Headphones
One word: Music. Headphones are super essential to have on you at all times. They are crucial when using public transportation to commute or speaking on the phone in a public without holding the device to your ear.
Portable Charger
Having a dead phone while being out isn’t helpful at all. So without having the risk of a dying mobile device…portable chargers are the answer. They are super easy and compacted to easily slip into a purse.
Fragrance
Who doesn’t love to smell good?! It’s a great idea to always have your go-to scent on available for a fast touch-up spritz.
