Lagos babes, gather around! Let’s talk about that accessory you can’t do without, can you guess? No, it’s not your phone—your handbag! If there’s one thing about us? We came prepared! Lagos is not a city you just walk in without being armed and ready.
Even though some Lagos babes seem to have turned their handbags into bottomless pits of surprises—We mean the must-have essentials for every certified ‘Lagos babe’. Let’s unpack!
Lip Gloss
A Lagos babe without her lip gloss? Impossible! We are always serving moisturized, glossy, luscious lips at all times. A good gloss is non-negotiable—whether it’s Fenty, NYX Butter Gloss, Topicals, or even our OG! Absolute. Your lips must stay moisturized!
Perfume/Body Mist
Lagos heat is not for the weak, and the last thing you want is to smell like Lagos traffic. A travel-size perfume or body mist is essential in every Lagos babe’s bag. You never know who you’re about to meet—or hug— so let your scent leave an impression.
Sunglasses
For a city by water, Lagos is too hot. A good pair of sunglasses? Essential! Not only do they protect your eyes, but they also effortlessly add that “I don’t have time for nonsense” vibe. Bonus points if they’re big enough to hide tired eyes from the night before.
Handy Fan
Again, Lagos heat is nobody’s mate. If you want to stay cool and composed, you definitely need a handy fan—Don’t let Lagos spoil your steeze!
Power Bank
In Lagos? A dead phone is a crisis. How will you order a ride? How do you reach your friend? No Social Media? Exactly! A power bank is your lifeline because “NEPA” can show you pepper anytime.
Cash
Always! Always!! Have small cash on you because Lagos will embarrass you if you rely on cards and Internet banking. Your bank app stops working, an Uber Driver suddenly demands cash, or you find a roadside snack that only takes hard cash.
Mints/Gum
A Lagos babe is always prepared—because what if you run into your crush? Or a business opportunity? Dragon breath is NOT an option. Keep those mints or gum handy!
Tissues, Wipes & Sanitizer
Between handling money, touching surfaces, and surviving Lagos, wipes and hand sanitiser are must-haves. Stay fresh, stay clean!
So, tell me—what’s in your bag? Did I miss anything?
