Afterall, a prom is one of the most important events in a girl\u2019s life to date. She will be spending lots of time on the bigger details such as dress, hair and make-up but when it comes to the smaller essentials, all may be forgotten until the last minute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest essential; the dress, plays a huge role in your daughter\u2019s overall experience. However, many girls shop late in the game and still can\u2019t find that wonderful two piece or the stunning cut out dress they crave. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promdressshop.com\/dresses\/styles\/two-piece\"><b>Prom Dress Shop has an array of cheap two piece dresses<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can choose from that are bound to fit your daughter\u2019s style preferences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say for now the formal or prom dress from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.couturecandy.com\/collections\/prom-dresses\"><b>major prom player<\/b><\/a> and all of the big details have been finalized before the big day. What are the essentials every girl needs to make sure she has the best night possible?<\/p>\n<h2><b>TOP 10 ESSENTIALS FOR PROM <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Bobby pins and mini hair spray! <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how well you prepare the hair, a night full of dancing will make it hard to keep things in place. Packing a few hair essentials will go a long way and keep your daughter prom-ready. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lip gloss and lipstick <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to pack a few make-up bits in the clutch bag to top-up over the night. You may even want to cheat and get a lip colour that doubles up as blush so your daughter can stay looking fresh for the whole evening! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Small mirror <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Packing a small mirror is a must for any evening let alone a big night like prom. A compact mirror along with some concealer will just give your daughter that extra bit of security even if she doesn\u2019t use it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Powder! <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combat the shine and be totally photo ready with some mattifying powder that fits nicely into your daughter\u2019s purse. You just need something tiny so maybe a tester or travel size kit will do just fine, or look for blotting papers. Also, it\u2019s a good idea to buy some waterproof mascara and eyeliner beforehand just encase things get emotional. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mini sewing kit! <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last thing you want is for a dress disaster to happen but you wanted to be prepared for anything! If your daughter accidently catches her dress on something or a rip happens when someone accidently steps on it, your daughter will be glad to have a small kit in her bag for a little emergency DIY repair. Some pins will be included which allow for a quick and easy repair to keep things looking the way they should. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Body Spray<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perfume and deodorant is a must-have at prom. With over a hundred people dancing away for hours, things can get hot in the venue. It\u2019s always a good idea to pack some deodorant or spray to keep smelling wonderful throughout the night. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Of course, the camera! <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s your mobile or a digital camera, you\u2019ll want to ensure your daughter has this area covered to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/prom-photo-makeup-tips\"><b>photo-ready for prom<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mints <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh breath is probably the last thing you\u2019ll think about but is important after eating or as needed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b> Band-aides<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your daughter\u2019s shoes may have felt comfy when she tried them on for ten minutes in the store but let her try dancing and walking on them for a whole evening! You want to make sure if any blisters occur they are dealt with right away so your daughter isn\u2019t hobbling around for hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Nail Polish <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your daughter may want to add a bit of shine and touch up on her nails during the evening. A clear polish will do the trick! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all these things to think about, you may think the list never ends. However, these are just small essentials but the biggest one is to remind your daughter it\u2019s all about having a wonderful night! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While prom is still quite a ways off, Winter Formals are here and it&#8217;s time to prep your daughter &#8211; or if anything, use this formal dance as a trial-run for prom.
