Bonne Bell Lipsmacker
"Despite my 'maturity' and having about a billion other lip gloss brands to chose from, I always go straight for the Lipsmacker. I keep them everywhere -- my desk, my nightstand, my car, my purse. Though it may be worse for the wear, the watermelon one is my favorite flavor. And at about $3.99 for two or three of 'em, you can't go wrong!" -- Audrey F.

Black Toothbrush
"I have this cheap toothbrush that I use instead of an eyelash comb. I know it sounds weird, but it really unclumps my eyelashes after I put on mascara. But after months of use, the toothbrush bristles have turned completely black. Whenever I pull it out I can feel people staring." -- Christine L.

Weave
"I have a leftover track from my weave that I had done a few weeks ago in my purse. It's not so much that I'm embarrassed, as it is other people feeling extremely awkward every time I open my bag and they see all this hair stuffed in there. You never know when that extra piece may come in handy." -- Tiffanie P.

Tongue Scraper
"I've had horrible allergies my whole life, complete with under-eye bags, nasal drip, and occasional bad breath. My doctor suggested using a tongue scraper, and I've been hooked ever since. I know it sounds gross, but what's grosser is all the germs and gunk that get stuck in your mouth. It might be embarrassing, but my mouth has never felt cleaner." -- Cassie W.

Now that you know which embarrassing products we keep around, see these weird ones that actually work now.

Doesn't it feel like a complete violation of privacy when someone ruffles through your purse? Forget the pat-down at airport security; it�s the guard digging through our tampons, Gas-X pills, and zit cream that really ticks us off. That's because a woman's purse is like the grown-up version of her old security blanket. But it's even better, since it holds everything we could ever need: cellphone, breath mints, credit cards, and that secret zipper for our unmentionables -- those really embarrassing beauty products we don't want anyone to know we own.

Skip ahead to see the most embarrassing beauty products in our purses now.

What products are we talking about? Things like extra hairpieces, ancient lip glosses, and diaper rash cream. Sure, dropping these humiliating beauty gems in our purse ups the potential for awkward situations if anyone spots the offending items. But we refuse to ditch them. Why? Because they work, plain and simple.

See the beauty products we're most embarrassed to show you, and tell us what yours are below. We can't be the only ones stashing humiliating stuff, right?
