Keep mid-day shine at bay with these cute and practical blotting tissues. Made from natural materials, each of these 50 sheets is loaded with mulberry, charcoal and green tea to refresh skin.
4-in-1 Pen Tool – $5.50 @ Mercuri
It’s a pen! It’s a ruler! It’s a level! It’s a screwdriver! In short, it’s perfect for getting things done on the go – particularly for DIYers.
Edgy 5-Pack AntiBac Hand Sanitizers – $6 @ Bath & Body Works
I don’t go anywhere without some PocketBac hand sanitizer in my purse – and neither should you! Perfect for cocktail receptions or eating a meal after public transit, this quirky set includes five wow scents.

I shudder to think of how many germs are on my handbags – things I touch and clutch all day long. These handy wipes will condition and refresh your bag to make ’em germ free in no time.
Holo Pebbled Makeup Bag – $9.90 @ Forever 21
A few years ago I took all the little makeup bags I had and started using them to keep things organized – namely to find my phone quicker. Get a purse-friendly bag to keep anything that could potentially spill or explode (I’m looking at you lipstick and hand sanitizer) like this trendy holographic style.

One way to keep your bag from getting dirty or germy? Don’t drop it on the ground when sitting down for eats. This nifty gadget turns any table into a perfect hanging spot for your purse.
