Red Bag (use code THEBAGHAG for 10% off)
I carry a huge tote bag filled with everything under the sun that I could potentially need (see here), OR I carry almost nothing in a tiny bag. I seem to have no middle ground... no need for a medium-sized bag.
While it is impressive how much I can fit into a tote, I think it's telling when you see what someone has inside their small bag because it's down to the 'necessities,' and only the best get added into a tiny bag!
Enter in this little red bag (full review here). It is small- too small for my iPhone ProMax, but it's adorable. I carry it often because the pop of red seems to work with so many of my outfits. Because of its tiny size, I only take the necessities when carrying it. So here are a few of my favorites at the moment:
Lipgloss/Stick Hybrid (in the gold tube)// I have so many lipglosses and lip colors that I love and rotate through, and this particular night, I was going for a subtle red lip. This is a good alternative to the Tarte lip plump. It has a similar look and feel on the lips but does not have the coconut scent. I wear the color 'entice'. It's red without being too saturated.
Lipgloss// I always like to have at least a secondary lip product on hand, usually lipgloss. This is coined as a 'lip oil,' but it wears like a gloss. It's smooth, and the Lily shade is the prettiest subtle red.
Comb// This wide-tooth comb is great when you need to detangle and refresh on the go but lacks space. This fits in pretty much any handbag! You can get a very similar comb for a lot less, but I am a sucker for pretty branding. This is called a 'rake comb' if you are on the lookout! This is a good look for less option!
Hair Tie// I usually have a hair tie and some sort of clip, either a mini claw clip or a flat clip. However, I didn't need a clip for this particular evening! These are the only hair ties I use. They are the very best!
Breath Spray// I love chewing gum; however, it's inappropriate in many situations, so I carry breath spray instead! There are many brands; I just buy whatever is on sale at the time!
Hand Sanitizer// For obvious reasons. I love Aesop products, so this mist is a real treat. My go-to drugstore brand is Germ X because it doesn't have a strong alcohol scent and leaves absolutely no residue on your hands.
I'm so curious, what do you all stash in your small bag if you go out for a night. Is there a particular brand or product that you swear by?!

Car keys and cash ( if I’m out without my husband), reading glasses, and a lip product. Side note…I love Mason Pearson. Have you ever tried their brushes?
As a long time hairdresser I used them daily on clients and they are worth every penny.
Anonymous! I LOVE Mason Pearson brushes, I have the large ‘popular’ size and the smaller one for my handbag! I agree, the best!
