Rarely do you have time to stop home after work and reapply your face before an after-five function, liaising over cocktails, or meeting the mister for a grown-ups-only evening out. Swipe on an extra coat of long-wear mascara and a spot of roll-on perfume, and stash these purse-ready touch-up essentials in your top drawer. 

Draw Their Attention

A bold-colored, precision-point chunky pencil satisfies the need for both lipstick and liner, while a creamy matte formula glides on without dryness or stickiness.
