Beauty Products to Keep in Your New Year’s Eve Clutch

As the clock counts down on New Year’s Eve, make sure to say goodbye to 2014 in style. Pack these travel-sized staples into your party clutch when you’re out to welcome in 2015—no matter your beauty emergency (whether your hair is astray from too much dancing or your pre-New Year’s kiss lips need a touch-up), these teensy yet effective products are small enough to fit into your going out bag so you can put your best face forward in the new year!

Mascara

Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Lash Mascara ($10) creates both full and voluminous lashes in a tiny .14-ounce tube. Layer this on throughout the night so your lashes stay stunning throughout the entire party!

Blush and Bronzer

This convenient blush and bronzer duo provides two services in one. The NARS Blush/Bronzer duo ($24) will give you a pretty glow—use the bronzer to add some extra contouring, and the blush to give your cheeks just the right amount of color.

Perfume

Don’t be afraid to get close to your crush just in time for that New Year’s kiss. The Tory Burch Rollerball Cracker ($25), Burch’s first fragrance, combines feminine and tomboy scents that are sure to please.

Mini Brush

Avoid frizz and stringy hair by packing away a mini brush to make quick touch-ups with. This Sephora Collection Gold Star Dual Boar Brush ($15) is the ideal size for your clutch and feature gentle boar bristles that will help tease out all hair types, from loose curls to straight locks.

Lip gloss

Saving the best for last, a perfect pout is essential for when the clock hits midnight. Lacquer your lips in Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick ($10). The .03-ounce mini size comes in two colors guaranteed to make your lips irresistible.
