"One fashion month/season, I&amp;amp;#8217;d really worn myself out, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m not the kind of girl that can pull off &amp;amp;#8216;bedraggled but sexy.&amp;amp;#8217; When I&amp;amp;#8217;m beat down, I&amp;amp;#8217;m beat down and everyone who dares take a glimpse of me very well knows it. Anyway, I went from New York to London to Milan to Paris to Tokyo in a matter of five weeks, and by the time I boarded my flight to Narita, I looked a HOT mess. The &amp;amp;#8216;fashion week flu&amp;amp;#8217; had really run me ragged, I&amp;amp;#8217;d lost 10 pounds, and the sallow-y bags underneath my eyes were the size of my jumbo Chanel 2.55. (Same quilted pattern too.) And none of this really bothered me, as I planned on rejuvenating myself over the duration of the 14-hour flight slobbering and snoozing. That is, until the HOTTEST British football&amp;amp;#8212;soccer to us Americans&amp;amp;#8212;player EVER sat right across from me. I&amp;amp;#8217;d recognized him from the numerous lothario playboy articles penned about him in the Daily Mail, and I knew all of his vital stats: single, incredibly financially stable, childless, great sense of humor, single, hard-partier, and single. Translation: Everything I am/was looking for. This had to be fate, right? Of course we&amp;amp;#8217;d end up married and living happily ever after with 2.5 kids and a Corgi puppy with a cute little cottage on the English countryside&amp;amp;#133; WRONG. And I like to think it&amp;amp;#8217;s because I looked like something that had just been pulled out of a gutter. Why? I was too tired to get gussied up pre-flight, and all of my primping products&amp;amp;#8212;save for Chapstick&amp;amp;#8212;were accidentally packed away in my suitcase. And I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never hated myself more. To that end, I learned quite the valuable lesson: Never (ever!) set foot out of the house without your gorgeous game face on, and if you do, have your primping products at arm&amp;amp;#8217;s length for quick touch-ups. Below, my invaluable veritable Visa: These are the five products I never leave NYC without. 1) Dual Lotion/Hand Sanitizer: I have a serious addiction to hand cream (I&amp;amp;#8217;ve even asked my mom to put a tube in my coffin should I go before her. She thinks I&amp;amp;#8217;m weird.), but I&amp;amp;#8217;m not a fan of typical hand sanitizers, because they&amp;amp;#8217;re so drying. So for me this hybrid is the perfect medium&amp;amp;#8212;it kills all the nasty, icky germs while quenching my seemingly eternally thirsty skin. The fact that it smells fantastic, just like soap? Well, that&amp;amp;#8217;s just a bonus. Currently Carrying Around: CLEAN Shower Fresh Anti-Bacterial Hand Moisturizing Cream, $18 2) Tinted Moisturizer: I&amp;amp;#8217;m blessed with pretty clear complexion, but my skin tone can always use a little evening out and brightening up, which is why I&amp;amp;#8217;m partial to tinted moisturizers. This lightweight, botanical-rich variation packs a pretty powerful punch; it may as well be a full-blown foundation&amp;amp;#8212;because it offers buildable, natural-looking coverage&amp;amp;#8212;but the brush-and-sponge-free application is much simpler. Currently Carrying Around: Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 in Polynesia, $42 3) Makeup: Nothing perks up my face faster than a little color. This miniature compact with major impact features eight eyeshadows, a lip gloss, a bronzer, and a blush. Currently Carrying Around: Too Faced Glamour to Go, $22 4) Mascara: An absolute must for me. Two coats lifts the eyes, lengthens the lashes, defines the gaze, and it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t clump&amp;amp;#133; what&amp;amp;#8217;s not to love? Currently Carrying Around: Bobbi Brown Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara, $24 5) Brow Pencil: I keep my eyebrows in tip-top shape, but they still need defining and darkening to look their absolute best. This handy dual-ended tool&amp;amp;#8212;one side an angled pencil, the other a sculpting gel&amp;amp;#8212;is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. Currently Carrying Around: SmashBox Brow Tech To Go, $26 And that&amp;amp;#8217;s my &amp;amp;#8216;get fierce and fabulous in a flash&amp;amp;#8217; face. What&amp;amp;#8217;s always in your travel makeup bag? Are there any items you daren&amp;amp;#8217;t leave your hometown without?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
