December's Best Beauty Buys

Saved by the Bag

Beauty disaster preparedness just got a lot easier. The Mini PAK measures only about 4 by 4 1/2 inches, but contains 23 mini beauty products and fashion fix-it items (all refillable or available for repurchase on the brand's Web site). Pop the kit in your purse and you'll always be ready for high winds (hairspray), popped buttons (double-sided tape), blisters (bandages), and even a poppy seed bagel (floss). Tweezers, hand sanitizer, lotion, facial tissues, wet wipes, nail polish remover, and stain remover are also included. (Bottled water and a flare gun, however, are not.)
