The application of cotton pad

If you're just going on an overnight trip, or just a night out but carrying a tiny clutch that barely fits your lipstick, apply powder, bronzer and blush to cotton pads, place in a zip top bag and insert into your purse. You'll have one full application of product in a disposable applicator plus save a ton of space.

Cotton pads also make great single-use applicators for nail polish remover, astringent, bug spray or rubbing alcohol. Saturate the cotton ball and seal tightly in a plastic bag. Just don't combine liquids!
