Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. Today I’m letting you have a nosy inside my hand bag. I love these posts, because what’s in someones hand bag varies on who they are as a person, their lifestyle, and their taste. What’s inside your bag is unique to you, and that’s what makes it interesting. My current most used bag is this one from Radley that I got as a gift from my family recently. I absolutely love it. I’m a huge fan of Radley bags, I love their simplicity, their quality, and their style. So, let’s take a peak inside it.
Radley Purse – I love this purse, it has so many card slots which is perfect for me, and matches my bag really well. I love Radley purses just as much as their bags, and it feels nice to have my purse somewhat matching to my bag.
Radley umberella – UK weather is totally unpredictable, so it’s always a safe bet to have an umbrella in your bag just in case it takes a turn for the worse. If I’m in a non-waterproof jacket and am not prepared with an umbrella, I can guarantee that’s the day it will chuck it down with rain and I’ll get soaked. So I always like to carry this Radley umbrella around just to be on the safe side.
Cath Kidston glasses case – This glasses case from Cath Kidston is much cuter than the horrible one I got given at the opticians, and it fits my glasses really well. I love having a pretty case for them, and I’ve found that the Cath Kidston ones last really well.
Marks and Spencer Island Sunset Eu de toilette – This is my current everyday scent for Spring / Summer and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s the perfect summery scent. To me, it honestly just smells like a sunny beach holiday in a bottle. I have the ..ml size bottle which makes it perfect to have in my handbag on a day to day basis.
Bareminerals marvellous moxie lipstick (Strip) – A nude lipstick is a pretty basic daily essential for me. You just can’t go wrong with a nude, and it’s always a good option to have one in your bag for on the g0 touch ups. I’m currently loving the Bareminerals marvellous moxie lipstick in the shade strip, it’s a great everyday colour.
Bareminerals spf15 matte foundation – Most days you’ll find my all time favourite foundaiton – the Bareminerals spf15 matte foundation – in my bag. If it’s a day I’m wearing makeup, it’s guaranteed to be in there for touching up through the day if I get a little oily, or want to keep up the coverage. I also like to keep the Bareminerals flawless face brush in my bag with it; this is the smaller size brush so it’s perfect just for dusting on a little bit extra foundation on the go.
L’oreal true match concealer – Likewise with the foundation, if it’s a makeup day you’ll find this trusty concealer in my bag too. To be honest, even on no makeup days this is a great thing to carry around, just incase there’s a little blemish I want hiding. This concealer has great coverage and blends really well, even just with my finger, so it’s a great one to carry around.
Nivea pearly shine lip balm – Of course, lip balm. I need lip balm. My lips tend to get dry, and I can’t stand the feeling of dry lips and nothing to apply to them. I’ve loved Nivea lip balms for years, and this pearly shine one just adds a subtle bit of shimmer to your lips, perfect for no makeup or minimal makeup days.
Neal’s Yard Remedies: Bee Lovely Hand cream – Likewise with lip balm, hand cream is another must. I’m currently loving the Bee Lovely hand cream, it smells absolutely amazing, and a little goes a long way with it.
Earphones – Earphones, obviously. So that whether when I’m walking about, on a train, or studying at university there’s the option of music.
