1. A concentrated O'Keeffe's moisturizing cream ideal for dry, cracked hands in desperate need of some TLC. This water, glycerin, and paraffin formula is used (and loved) by everyone from construction workers to people with eczema.
2. A silicone spool because tangled headphones are the second most frustrating thing on the planet (forgetting your headphones at home is #1). Imagine being able to pull these out of your purse without having to unknot them for five minutes? Wow.
3. Listerine tablets that work harder than Hades to keep onion breath at bay (...no small feat). These chewable tablets transform to a minty fresh liquid for a "just brushed" feeling that lasts up to four hours!
4. An SPF 25-infused Jack Black lip balm made with beeswax, green tea leaf extract, shea butter, and cocoa seed butter to provide intense, long-lasting moisture to even the most chapped of pouts.
5. Mini Wet Brush brushes designed with flexible bristles to detangle your (very tangled) 'do without painfully pulling chunks of hair out in the process. And yep, these portable babies are perfect for both wet and dry manes.
6. A palm-sized Crystal deodorant stick that banishes BO + smelly bacteria to the ~pits~ of HECK (you can thank the mineral salt formula for that). It's also cruelty-free, aluminum-free, fragrance-free, and vegan, and won't leave any white marks on your black top.
7. A non-toxic, before-you-go Poo-Pourri toilet spray formulated with a concentrated blend of essential oils that will neutralize funky bathroom odors. Yes, the kind that you cause.
8. Solaroil to banish the bane of your existence — weak and brittle nails with cuticles that look like they were mauled by an animal. This formula is so effective, I guess you can say it really nails it. Eh?
9. Biodegradable, alcohol-free body wipes available in individual packets, meaning you can slip one in your gym bag for sweaty workouts that don't leave time for a shower.
10. A tinted Australian Gold face lotion packed with SPF50, which you should already be WEARING EVERY DARN DAY. This hypoallergenic sunscreen is also oil-free, dye-free, reef-safe, and adds sheer coverage for a flawless complexion.
11. A spray hand sanitizer that kills — Destroys! Obliterates! — 99.99% of icky germs that cause all **cough cough, I can't come, I'm sick** situations.
12. A Batiste dry shampoo to fool everyone into thinking that you actually washed your hair last night. This absorbs grease right up and leaves your 'do feeling (and smelling) as if it's actually clean.
13. A Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume infused with notes of strawberry, violet leaves, and jasmine — all of which come together to form a fresh, floral scent you'll fall in love with at first sniff.
14. Microfiber cloths ideal for glasses, jewelry, camera lenses, smartphones, tablets, TV screens... the list goes on and on. Can you imagine a world in which your iPhone isn't covered in fingerprint smudges?
15. Seamless hair ties that won't stretch, break, slip, OR damage your mane. These are perfect for super thick locks and won't show any wear and tear with time.
16. A first aid kit because one minute you're enjoying a nice hike and the next minute your foot is bleeding and you have no idea why. *vows to never go outside again*
17. A lipstick-sized portable charger so that your phone DOES NOT DIE when you need it the most, like when you're desperately lost in a foreign country or in the middle of sending an important "as per my last email" email.
18. A four-sided brush cleaner to get the annoying scuffs and salt lines OFF of your favorite suede shoes. This is perfect for commuters who have to trek through rain, sleet, and snow for their 9-5.
19. A spring water Avène facial spray that may seem like a regular can of water — but can a regular can of water soothe eczema, calm sunburn, reduce rosacea flare-ups, set your makeup, and refresh dull and tired skin? I think not.
20. "Ouchless" flex barrettes that will keep your mane in place WITHOUT ripping any strands out in the process. That's right — these simples barrettes won't pull or painfully tug that single strand of hair.
21. Colgate mini toothbrushes you can take with you on-the-go, that way stinky breath won't strike at the worst of times.
22. A magnifying mirror that folds into a travel-friendly compact OR can be adjusted to stand upright. This compact is designed with LED lights to ensure bad lighting doesn't get in the way of your killing the makeup game.
23. Kleenex tissues you'll want to have on hand at all times. I'm relieved that winter is almost over, but allergy season is approaching — and my runny nose is about to make a comeback.
24. Palm-sized Moleskin notebooks so that you could jot down all your genius thoughts as they come. **envision Jaden Smith meme here**
25. Tatcha blotting sheets you'll want to stash in your purse immediately. These albaca leaf, 💸 23k gold-flecked 💸 sheets remove excess oil without messing up your makeup in the process. Hooray!
26. A Milani eyeshadow palette packed with pigmented, neutral shades you can rock every darn day. Plus, it's super tiny and won't take up half your handbag on your way to work!
27. Neutrogena cleansing towelettes available in single use packets, meaning you can store one in your bag to wipe up smudged mascara and post-gym sweat for an immediately clean, refreshed feeling.
28. Foldable flats perfect for that next black tie optional event. These portable shoes can be stashed in your bag, meaning you can slip these babies on when your four-inch heels become too much to bear.
