5 must-have items for every woman

Ladies, what's in your purse?

It's not uncommon for the male folk to marvel at the amount of thing females tote around in their handbags. From make-up bags, Kleenex's and even sanitary towels, every lady can attest to the fact that there's never too much to carry in a handbag.

But what are the bare essentials which every lady absolutely must have on her person at any given time? We sought the opinion of 5 ladies and we got some pretty varied and interesting answers.

Check on them:

Grace Egbagbe, former Executive Director Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)

Deodorant. Every lady must have a good deodorant. I can't stand women who smell so I think its important women look out for each other and own one. Also they should call fellow females around them who smell to order.

Zizi Cardow, Fashion Designer

A cocktail dress. Every lady should own a long dinner dress, a cocktail dress infact. Its a must-have item for every discerning lady.

Chinma Nwazuzu, Owner Girly Essentials

A pack of tissues. Not everyone makes up so I think a pack of tissues cuts across because it always comes in handy.

Asekun Ojuolape, Blogger Beauty Geeks

Eyebrow filler. There's nothing better than well-defined eye-brows. You can have just that and go out of the house so for this reason I think eye brow fillers are an essential must-have.

Matilda Sola, PR & Communications Officer, Pops Concepts

Lipgloss. It's a no-brainer really. With well-glossed lips, you're good to go!
