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)

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Eyeliner and Mascara in one- Eyetini’s “Double Shot” double-ended mascara and eyeliner wand does double duty and takes your day look into evening in a flash. ($24.00)


Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Breath Freshener - Binaca AEROBlast for a quick blast of fresh breath after lunch in a sleek cylindrical lipstick like tube. ($2.99) www.binaca.com

New Binaca FASTblast and Binaca AEROblast Review

Remember the old Binaca brand mouth drops that you only need to shake on your tongue for cool, refreshing breath?  Even though Binaca has been around for 75 years, they have endured because it works.  Now Binaca comes in cool new packaging with jolting names of Binaca AEROblast and Binaca FASTblast.  These sporty new packages offers a glimpse into the flavor you spritz inside your mouth for that refreshing, clean feeling:

• Binaca AEROblast is available in peppermint or spearmint flavors.
• Binaca FASTblast is a non-aerosel pocket sized pum available in peppermint and soon to be released cinnamon.

The Binaca Breath Freshener Aerosol Sprays come in a lipstick size container making it easy to hide in a pocket or a purse.  Thanks to Megan at Light Years Ahead, I was able to review these and I have to say, I really liked the new design since it's easy to carry, looks modern and sleek.  The taste was great and didn't taste like mouthwash or medicine.  For my dieting, it's actually nice since it only takes a quick spray for a sweet, subtle and minty smell that lasts.
