The Prom Problem: What Do I Take With Me To Prom?

Previously on The Prom Problem: Prom Diets

Hey guys!! Today I am going to go through all of the things that I like to take with me to prom, so basically this is like a little whats in my purse. Of course, you do not have to take these exact things, but they are just things I liked to bring along to events or that I would suggest carrying with you.

1. Lip Color
Of course, lipstick wears off during long night, especially after dinner. If you want to keep that lip game strong all night, bringing along your lip color to reapply is essential. I also brought a chap stick just because sometimes lipstick can be a bit drying, so I wanted to have a lip moisturizer just in case.

2. Safety Pins
Hopefully, you will not need these. But, every one in a while, you are out at a fancy event and have a wardrobe malfunction. Having some safety pins on you will prevent any wardrobe malfunction from turning into a night ruining disaster.

3. Blotting Sheets/Translucent Powder
For all you girls out there with oily skin, either of these items are essentials to take along to Prom. You do not want your face getting greasy during the event. Not only will you look oily in pictures, but your face will feel gross all night. No need for any of that! Just take along some blotting sheets or a translucent powder.

4. Eyelash Glue
If you are going to wear falsies, having a small tube of lash glue never hurts. Fake lashes are great, but every once in a while, they start to fall off. The best way for falsies to look fake is if they are half-on. You do not need a full-sized lash glue taking up space in your purse. However, keeping a little tube of glue with you will make sure that if one of your lashes decides to join the party, you can put it back in its place.

5. Band Aids
I am not telling you to bring a full on first-aid kit, but you never know when you are going to get a paper cut or something and need a band aid. Blood does not got well with a fancy dress. Band aids are also helpful to have if your shoes are rubbing uncomfortably or if they have already given you a blister. I know I was thankful to have these Prom night!

6. ID
Obviously, make sure you have you school ID and drivers license, if you have one, on you. Im gonna throw keys into this category too. You do not need to bring the whole set of keys, but if your driving, make sure you obviously have your car key. Either way, also make sure that you bring along you house key so that you can get back into you house when you get home.

7. Cash
You most likely will not have to pay for anything at Prom. However, in the event of an emergency, it is always good to have a little bit of cash on you. I would not recommend bringing a credit card because your going to be leaving your purse on the table unattended to for most of the night. Just put in a 20 or so for emergencies, but try to avoid bringing your credit card for someone to steal.

8. Gum
If you think your going to be kissing a special someone, you do not want to have bad breath! Throw in a few sticks of gum or mints into your purse so you can be prepared for all situations.

9. Bra Tape
I may not be calling this by the right name, but basically what I am talking about is the double sided strips made for your bras. I like to take these with me, especially if I am wearing a strapless dress, in case the dress is falling down all night. If you place one on you skin and press the dress into it, it will help it stay up a bit. They can also be used to hide bra straps that you may notice becoming visible as you wear your dress that you may not have noticed when you left the house. I personally never had to use it at Prom, but I did lend it out to a few friends. So, I would totally recommend carrying some.

10. YOUR TICKETS
This is the most important thing, so I saved it for last. Make sure you have your tickets so that you can get in. If your purse zips, it might be a safer place to keep them than your dates open pockets, especially if you are going to an outdoor pre-party where it might be windy.

Okay, those are all my suggestions of things to take with you in your Prom purse! Again, this might not be everything, and essentials are different for different people. These are just my essentials and my suggestions. Stay tuned for more of The Prom Problem very soon! A special post about dresses is on its way!

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

Best Sustainable Brands of 2023

 Hey Fashionistas! Recently, I have been trying to make better fashion/beauty choices for the environment so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. None of this is sponsored (although, if you're one of the brands I mentioned- hi and please feel free to reach out). Garnier: I wanted to start out with Garnier because they are not only an environmentally friendly brand but they are also my favorite beauty brand of all time. Garnier is a holy grail for me. I discovered this brand when they were featured on Project Runway many years ago and they completely changed my confidence. I use so many of their products on my hair: Mouse, Curl Cream, Hair Spray, Hair Gel, Shampoo, Conditioner, Conditioning Masks, etc.  Recently, I have switched from the traditional shampoo bottle to the shampoo bar and I am so glad that I did. I still get that Garnier glow to my hair while using less unnecessary plastics. Other Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner bottles are made partly fr...
