Ever have those moments when you need to grab something out of your purse only to realize that you left it at home? Being a woman on the go can be exhilarating because you feel like you are always on the go. Yet, there are some things a woman has to have on her person at all times, besides her wallet or car keys. Here are 10 products every black woman must have in her purse:
Translucent Powder:
