Do You Carry a Compact?

January 20, 2009

Unless it's compact makeup I'm stocking, I never seem to have a handy mirror on hand. Recently, though, a friend gave me this little goodie. On the outside it looks like an ordinary compact, but upon opening, it lights up both a regular and magnification mirror inside. I think it's pretty neat, and now I love having it in my bag. Do you carry a compact, too?

I usually do, but I tend to loan it to my mom or my sister and then never see it again! I need to pick up another one.

Ive got a full on makeup bag in my bag, my compact never leaves it. Even though one of the mirrors has fallen out I still use it, cause I tend to touch up or check my teeth on the move.

I have a slender aluminum mirror compact I picked up years ago at Muji. Its fallen a zillion times and never breaks! Bella, please do tell the brand of yours! I could really use one with both a light and a magnified side.

Oh yes, I always have my Cover Girl Clean compact in my purse for mid-day touch-ups. I've been using this type of pressed powder since I was probably about 13!

Sometimes I do, especially if I'm going to a formal outing.

My powder compact is one of the only two makeup items I do carry with me throughout the day.

I bought a mirror from The Body Shop for $10 that is the size of a credit card.

I have like three mirrors in my purse. The gift card holders from Sephora are great for keeping coupons and bits of papers organized. And my main mirror is one of those handy ones from Sephora that has a pop out brush built into it.

I tend to bring it if I'm wearing a lot of make up to make sure things stay in the correct spot. I really need to bring my compacts with me. I have like 5 different ones. Sometimes I can look really jacked up and no one tells me.

After my braces I've been paranoid about having food in my teeth so I always carry one around

I only carry a mirror to check my lipstick.

Always have one with me even if I never seem to use it.. and when I leave home without I get really paranoid. :P Mine isn't as magical as yours though, Bella!

My mum got me one when I was in junior or high school, and I can't live without it! Checking I have clean teeth, what I have in my eyes (I always get plenty of dust or even tiny bugs in my eyes :( ), or even tweezing my eyebrows and replying my lipstick when I'm at work. :P

I normally do but in the winter with my skin being more dry I don't need to as often...

I verrrry rarely use it but its always in my bag. Never know when you have to check your teeth... i eat a lot so i guess its useful haha... and i guess its useful for getting eyelashes out of your eye.. that seems to happen to me a lot too.
