Got a Beauty Emergency These pro kits will bail you out of a bind
  When the cute guy by the water cooler asks you if you want to grab an impromptu drink after work, you curse yourself for wearing your "comfortable" outfit that day. Not to mention that, come 6 p.m., your eyeliner will have faded to a sickly shade of gray that only accentuates the suitcases you're carrying under your eyes. Better late than never to kick your inner Girl Scout into high gear. Here, the essential quick-fix items to pack so you're prepped for the unexpected.  
Steve Madden Last Minute Dress Up
  Stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe stores multiple pairs of heels (Alexander McQueens, Missonis and Jenni Kaynes are at the top of the heap) in her car and changes them throughout the day. It’s a quick outfit pick-me-up. Zoe says the taller the better. And with skyscraping stilettos strutting down the runways, we tend to agree. Steve Madden’s Vivvaa pump ($110) stacks up to the rest of them with a 4 ½-inch heel and the season’s hottest footwear trend, a hidden platform, which slyly adds cushion.  
Insta-Date Miss Marisa Max Factor
  Buxom babe Carmen Electra suggests keeping a “sexiness kit” in your car or in your desk at work. Her essentials: perfume, lip gloss and a pair of heels. The extra inches give legs (and your confidence) a boost and the right scent sets your mood. Carmen’s into the fruity-and herbal-scented Miss Marisa perfume oil by Ebba ($62). This temptress believes it’s always good to draw attention to your mouth and she does so wearing her favorite Max Factor 8-hour MAXwear Lip Color in Tempting Vixen ($9; available at drugstores nationwide), a soft, peachy gloss that lasts through that first kiss.  
Aquage Post-Gym Cleanup
  You’d never know Dorcy Porter, an LA-based fitness trainer at Equinox Gym, squeezes every last second into training sessions. She’s as fresh as a daisy (flowing mane, matte skin, soap-scented) even when sprinting from one client to the next. Having tried loads of après-workout touchup products, here are the three that have earned a spot in her gym bag. Aquage Beyond Shine ($13, available at salons nationwide), an ultra-light silicone hair spritz that tames her pesky, exercise-induced flyaways and gives her hair salon-quality shine; Victoria’s Secret Body by Victoria The Body Mist ($20), a woody, musky floral that makes her feel clean enough to fake it; and Estée Lauder Tender Blush Sheer Stick in Rose ($25), a portable all-in-one highlighter that gives Dorcy’s pale skin a healthy flush. “I use it everywhere to light up my cheeks, lips, and legs.”  
Corporate Refresher Course Chanel YSL Clinique
  When a client calls for a last-minute drinks meeting, Stella Debibi, Director of Business Development at George Smith Partners, a real estate investment banking firm in Los Angeles, CA, is always prepared no matter how frazzled her day. This fashion-savvy powerhouse keeps everything she could possibly need in her desk from a Solano hair dryer to Christian Louboutin pumps (“They go with everything.”). Chanel Exceptionnel De Chanel Mascara in Smoky Noir ($28) instantly creates a wide-eyed effect even when she’s tired; YSL Touche Brilliance Sparkling Touch for Lips in Sparkling Nude ($29) is appropriate morning, noon and night. And, thanks to Clinique’s Pore Minimizer Oil Blotting Sheets ($13.50), Stella looks cool even in the heat of negotiations.
