They say you should never ask the contents of a lady’s handbag, but in 2025, I think we can let a few truths slip.
In mine, you will always find at least two types of lip balm - one for fuss-free nourishing, the other with a light tint. A small tube of hand cream (L’Occitane does travel-friendly ones best). Eye drops to counter the effects of staring at a screen all day, and a pot of Merit’s Flush Balm to brighten my complexion after the commute has zapped it.
