Ok, what a terrible title. I really couldn't sum this post up with a witty title, because it's a kind of "What's in my bag slash random bits I've accumulated slash I like taking pictures of things in my room with my fancy camera." Its Thursday. Not my favourite day. But oh so close to the weekend. It's not as bad as Tuesday. Tuesday's are the worst. The slump of Monday is gone, but oh look, I still have a whole week left until the weekend?! But as I said, today is Thursday! So it's ok. Kind of.
I love seeing "What's In My Bag?!" posts. Nosey person that I am. It's sad but true. I love seeing the stash someone carries around with them. Mine unfortunately, is quite a stash. I took all of these things out of my bag and was a little bit overwhelmed that I had compiled this amount of stuff into it. But surely they're necessities no?! Probably not. But they're in there anyway.

Usually if I'm out for the night I will bring a makeup bag in addition to this, but on a day to day basis, random products are just thrown in, you know, for the craic. And so:
Makeup: I am aware that I will never need all of these things at the same time, especially the lipsticks! But I like having a variety if I'm out, and the two lipsticks can take me from day to night if I can't make it home! :) Inglot Compact, Norwegian Formula Intense Repair Lip Balm, MAC Creme Cup, NARS Scarlet Empress, Vaseline Aloe Vera Lip Balm, MAC Select Concealer, MAC Studio Careblend Powder.

Beauty: I like carrying floss, which may be a bit odd for some, but there is nothing worse than going for a meal, and nipping to the bathroom to realise you have something stuck in your teeth and nothing to get it out with! An essential in my bag. I use this one from Tesco, it was like 2 for a euro or something; Dove Handcream: I love keeping my hands soft and moisturised, and constantly use this!; Carex Hand Sanitiser: I'm a germ freak, and have to have this with me at all times!; YSL Cinema Perfume; My signature scent, never leave without it; Umberto Gianinni Dry Shampoo: I don't usually use this, but can be useful when out and hair needs a bit of sprucing up and a refresh.
Other things: I have these foundation samples in my bag from yonks ago, have yet to use them; keys plus keyring of me, my boyfriend and his daughter at the zoo; Gok Wan glasses, yes they are prescription!; Moleskine Diary: I am also an organisation freak!; Pen: this one is from Staedtler, I love writing with them; Purse, and Phone; Kudos if you can guess who my screensaver is!!
My day to day lipsticks and eyeshadows (Slightly worrying) / Leopard Boots and Black Suede Boots, both from Boohoo.com
New Purchases: No.7 Eyelash Curlers, Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Polish, MAC Lipstick in Watch Me Simmer, Rimmel Lipstick in Vintage Pink (Posts on both coming soon!), RealTechniques Stippling Brush, Eylure Lash Glue / MAC Watch Me Simmer from the Shop MAC, Cook MAC Collection

Thank you! You should do one too!:) x
DeleteAha I love the title of this post! I agree with you on the Tuesday thing. Tuesday is my worst day, and it has been for me for like the last 7 years or so. Horrible. Don't feel guilty about your 'day to day' lippies..you need a different one for each day so it's all good ;)

Great handbag contents, I've gotten so bad at even carrying a handbag around these days, working from home means I don't have an everyday bring to work bag like I used to, I kind of miss it! Love the Boohoo booties!

ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same as you, always putting too many lipsticks in my bag and have moisturiser on me 24/7.

Oh wow, it's so nice too see other Irish people who are into blogging, and yours is so successful too! It's really inspiring for me, just starting out. :) Your blog is adorable, and I love this post. For some reason I'm always very nosy to see what other people have in their bags. Yours is very similar to mine, though my iPod and camera would be in there too, and another notebook or two (mild obsession with notebooks). Love this post, and I will definitely be following my fellow Irish blogger! x
ReplyDeleteI have a habit of buying tiny bags, so that limits what I can fit in them! I love reading these posts too - I guess that's nosy, aha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment lovely, small world or what! Love your blog :). I also got that Nicki Minaj lipstick from your previous post, I'm obsessed! x
