Whether you have the job interview of a lifetime, a hot date or merely a night out on the town, countless beauty snafus may be lurking just around the corner! Don’t fall victim to some of womankind’s oldest enemies. Instead, be ready and armed for whatever beauty blunders may await.

Different situations may call for suitable actions, so consider your destination and any possible snafus that may come up while you are there. At a very bare minimum, your beauty survival kit should include the following:

Clear lip gloss or chapstick – No matter how kissably soft you know your lips are it can never hurt to add some moisture and shine with a deliciously flavored lip gloss. Applying gloss in front of your date may even entice him to test out your soft and supple lips! Try one of the many variety lip glosses offered through the mark magalog. Choose from 12 different flavors of juice gems squeeze on lip gloss, a 0.5 fl. oz. tube for only $6 each! Flavors include juicy pineapple, juicy mango tango, juicy passionfruit, and juicy cherry pop just to name a few. You may also be interested in the mark mini shine lip gloss key chain for $5. Take your favorite lip gloss wherever you go!

Mini mouthwash – Fresh breath in an instant! Just take a small swig of mouthwash after dinner or before you head out the door. Chase the taste of your lunch, dinner or even strong coffee away with a quick rinse with some minty mouthwash.

Mini perfume spritzer – Freshen up anytime you like by carrying a purse-sized fragrance spritzer with you. Scent is often considered the sense most tied to memory, so let your fragrance linger and leave a lasting impression wherever you go! Your favorite Avon fragrances come in purse-sized sprays: Imari, Mesmerize for Her, Far Away, Goddess, True Glow, Haiku and more. Perfect size stocking stuffers!

Hairspray or gel – Long events often leave much room for hair calamities to engage by the end of the night. If you simply can’t stand to have a single hair out of place, it is in your best interest to pack a miniature bottle of hairspray or gel. Just a spritz here or a dab there will fix any potential problems before anyone else even notices. Avon’s Advance Techniques line of hair care products offers a variety of sprays, serums, and smoothing balms for unruly hair.

Visine and pressed powder - Did  you know that Visine doesn't just get the red out of your eyes? A tiny drop applied to a bright red blemish can often tone down the abrasive color, which can then be further diminshed with a gentle blotting of pressed powder complementary to your skin tone. A concealer stick may also come in handy! Try one of Avon’s Ideal Shade Concealer Sticks; 8 different shades to choose from to match you skin tone perfectly! Each concealer is only $6 for a .07 oz. tube.

Miniature bottle of lotion - Whether dry hands or peeling skin from harsh sunburn ail you, ward off any unsightly flakes with a few drops of your favorite lotion in a travel-sized bottle. In the dire absence of hairspray or gel, you can also use a tiny bit of lotion to smooth down fly-aways and cowlicks. Avon has a nice variety of hand lotions that fit perfectly in your purse/bag. Try Moisture Therapy Mini Hand Creams for just $0.99 each in Brochure 23. You may also want to try Avon's exclusive Holiday Hand Creams, also small enough to fit in your purse/bag.
