The rouge thing is actually pretty common. But... The average chick who carries a "kit" with her will be sufficiently savvy to know powder blush Will Not Work Without Tools. And she'll *also* know that a correctly chosen lipstick shade or cream blush will work with just fingers for tools. So if you're out you may well have blush along, but it might not look like a blush.
The average makeup savvy chick will not carry two tubes of mascara with her unless she's being very careless about cleaning out her purse. You only need one open at once, and the stuff is perishable as hell, and having two open is confusing and asking for very unattractive eye infections. Stuff that expires within 2-3 months and they mean it is not a good thing to carry in your purse anyway. It might get eaten by the black hole in the bottom.
So... Our Heroine should either have an *actual* makeup kit, complete with shorthandled brushes, eyeshadow, powder, blush etc, or she should have a few idiosyncratic essentials (and for god's sake don't borrow the essentials list from a Goth unless your heroine *is* a Goth). The author tries to do two conflicting things at once and well... it doesn't work.
