The Best Beauty to Go

By Lisa McLaughlin

SMALL PURSES ARE OFTEN the chicest choice to complement holiday finery, but most barely have room for a wallet, let alone the supplies to keep you party-pretty all night long. Now cosmetics companies are solving the space crunch with single servings of makeup: disposable beauty supplies small enough to slip into the sleekest bag--or a Christmas stocking.

1 CHARMED Lip Gloss bracelet by Hard Candy ($16) keeps two colors of gloss close at hand

2 AIR KISS single-use lip-color transfers by Paula Dorf ($24 for 54) are smaller than a credit card. Peel and press for a perfect pout

3 KEY-CHAIN LIP GLOSS from Lola ($6) combines two purse essentials

4 DAILY GLOSS from Cargo ($10 for 30) is a day's worth of color in individual tear-away pouches

5 EXPRESS EYE-ZONE mask with Ginkgo biloba from Apivita ($24 for 12 sachets) lessens puffiness

6 COLORCARDS by Cargo ($24 for 28 cards) carry a daily dose of eye shadow in seven colors

7 BLOOM Eye Make-Up Remover Buds ($10 for 24) are great for quick touch-ups on the go

8 3 IN 1 tissues from Apivita ($12 for 10) tone, cleanse and gently remove eye makeup

9 FOUNDATION TO GO from Lola ($4) is useful for touch-ups, as concealer or foundation
