Default is it ok to mix power steering fluids??

First of all merry xmas everyone

anyway just checking all fluids before i drive to my parents for the day and noticed the power steering fluid is low,now it will probably wait till next week till my mechanic opens back up but i was just wondering if i got some from halfords at the weekend if it is ok to top it up??
and what should i be looking at to get??

thanks all
have a good xmas

Nick.
