Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd thought I'd do a little 'Whats in my bag' style post. I love being a bit nosey and seeing what other people have in their bags so thought you might like to see what's in mine!
It is going to be my beauty essentials cause the only other things I have in my handbag are my purse, my sunnies and my glasses (and usually an umbrella!) not all that interesting but if you'd like to see a full what's in my bag then let me know in the comments!!
So, lets dive in!
So I usually carry my 'Little brown cosmetic' makeup bag that I got from Bloomingdales in New York when I went last year, its perfect for my handbag because its not that big and its quite slim so it slips in perfectly. I love having it with me because every time I see it, it reminds me of my trip to my favourite place in the world!!!
Nothing I carry round with me is very exciting, I hate having a super heavy bag so I try to be frugal with my choices! I always have the obligatory pack of tissues (how cute is my current pack?!) and a compact mirror, this one actually has a light in and I think it was £1 from Primark, you cant really go wrong!
More recently I bought myself some hand wipes (again from Primark) because I was fed up of walking round town with swatches of various lipsticks and the like that I just couldn't help but try all over my hand. I still feel proud of this feat of organisation many weeks later, loser.
I also carry a nail file, I got this one the other day with a little case which I personally think is a great idea! I ALWAYS have chipped nails, I break them daily and get very frustrated so this stops me having a minor break down over the fact that my newly broken nail catches on everything I come close to!
So down to the make up side of things. This collection powder isn't my fave (Rimmel Stay Matte is!) however it does the job. If I feel a bit shiny all I need is something to blot away any moisture, and I don't mind if this one breaks up being thrown about in my bag either because its so cheap. Sorted.
I carry more lip products than anything else, but who doesn't?! I hate having dry lips so have to have something to top up the moisture. I love the limited edition Pink Bubbly Vaseline, its a pale pink colour so it brighten's up the lips without being over the top (like the original pink Vaseline). I also have a mini Clinique superbalm gloss in Grapefruit. I LOVE this gloss, and have the full size one at home but this one's so cute and perfect for my travels, it is running out though which actually makes me sad! I then carry round whichever lipstick I have chosen for the day, currently my MAC lippy in Peach Blossom is in there but this gets substituted a lot!
I have a mini version of my perfume (Mark Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh) for top ups throughout the day and a mini They're real mascara from Benefit. The only real reason I carry this mascara is because its a mini version so its easier, its not my favourite but its pretty good! Randomly I always have a tube of eyelash glue, I'm not really sure why as I only ever wear lashes on a night out but those little tubes seem to get everywhere and if I do have lashes on I always forget to take the glue with me so I'm always glad of it being there!
Obviously things get substituted in an out as I wear them and find new things but these are the things I will always have with me!
What do you carry round with you? I know some people carry their whole make up bag with them, if that's you how do you do it?!
Au revoir x
