Today, we’ll talk about 10 essential products that you can put in your bag on a hot day and head out, carefree.

Never leave the house without it. Sunscreens tend to break apart after a few hours of sun exposure, so keeping it in your bag for re-application is very necessary. Also, your sunscreen covers all of your face, except the lips. Don’t forget about them. Keep an SPF lip balm on you at all times.

Compact Powder

Imagine you walking around in the mall or in the park and you see your crush walking around, looking like a million bucks while your face looks like you have an oil factory inside of you.
