Night Out Essentials!

As women, I feel that we take pride in our appearance, especially on a night out. You've gotten all glamed up feeling great and the last thing you want is for one of your spots to appear or for you to be smelling of something unfortunate after dancing a little too hard on the dance floor! There are definitely specific beauty items that qualify as necessary on nights out.

My clutch that I love to take is very wide but at the same time very thin, therefore I don't like to take every piece of make-up that I may only need - I've narrowed it down to 5 key-items.

Mascara. Although this mascara is by far my favourite and is long-lasting, I always want to make sure my lashes are voluminized all evening! This is a new release by Maybelline - Big Eyes Mascara. It's proven to be fantastic so far!  I didn't have to re-apply this all night because it lasted so well, but there may be a friend who forgets to apply mascara and needs a product like this to vamp up the lashes! - Full review here

Oh Benefit, you've got me. I actually got this for free with an Elle magazine luckily so it is the mini version but perfect to pop in your bag! This doesn't feel sticky at all, it leaves a lovely glossy finish on top of a lipstick. You of course can opt to carry your lipstick with you, but I'm always afraid of the old lipstick-on-your-teeth look. This is a great alternative. Benefit Hoola Lipgloss in Ultra Plush, a nude with slight blush-y undertones.

This concealer is so good at concealing any redness or horrible spots so and essential on nights out to hide any blemishes! It comes in a slim cylinder tube and brilliant for popping in your clutch bag! 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory.

We all need a little spritz of perfume on one of our girly bathroom trips. But, all our perfume bottles are too big to carry round in little clutches. My solution - take little tester bottles. Unfortunately this Tommy Girl tester isn't a spritzer, but one that you have to pour (very cautiously) onto your wrists. If you aren't keen on this idea, plenty of perfume counters have mini spritzer testers which are ideal for your clutch!

The last essential is blotting sheets. Now, my packet looks pretty horrible after being carried around everywhere so I decided not to take a picture. However, the sheets inside the packaging are fab. They don't remove your make-up, just the excess oils on your face leaving no shine without having to use powder. There are so many of them in any drugstore and they aren't even expensive and will last months of partying! The ones I have are some by Kleenex and I know that Boots have their own brand blotting wipes for a really affordable so go have a look!

I hope this has amused you in some way. Til' next time!
