Compact Products: Beauty on the GO Must Haves

As women, we’re constantly on-the-go, but we never leave home without a bag full of essentials: keys, phone, and of course, make-up. But Birkin or backpack, no bag is meant to hold everything. That’s why it’s important to choose compacts that are truly “compact” and grooming items that multi-task. 

Here are few favorite picks that pack a beauty punch without taking up lots of real estate in your purse:


Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Face Powder- Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder. This fine-milled French “cashmere” talc is housed in a sleek and slim compact. ($30.00)
