What's In My Bag Tag!

Roaming around on the internet I’ve come across so many fun ‘tags’ and challenges and have always wanted to do one. So, I decided to do the ‘what’s in my bag tag’ just as a little change from what I usually do. This is what I carry around in my every day bag for uni and when I’m just popping out sometimes.

The Bag

I got this bag from Zara for £50 around 2013 so it’s pretty old. But just by looking at it you can’t really tell. I love this bag! It’s almost as though it has some kind of scratching defence mechanism because it never gets scratched!! I chose this bag mainly for uni, because it’s the perfect size to carry around my laptop, notebooks, and my other billion essentials. I also really love how this bag comes with a shoulder strap. This definitely comes in handy when I have lots to carry! Unfortunately this isn’t available on the website anymore, but it might be available somewhere else. So if you love this bag keep your eyes open!

1-Makeup, Beauty, and Health

Mascara- I feel like this is a necessity to carry around every day! Never know where the day will take you and if you will need another coat of mascara J This mascara is by Rimmel London and is called ‘Extreme Black Wonder’full’ which you can buy here.

Concealer- Sometimes your skin just needs that pick me up throughout the day. I find this concealer really good for this reason. Even when my skin isn’t behaving and I have a horrible break out, this is there to save me! This concealer is Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi and I have it in shade Ivory. You can buy this here.

Brows- I think I’ll be carrying this around me even when I’m 50! This is the Benefit ‘Gimmie Brow’ fibre gel which I’ve done a review on already here. I definitely count this as my everyday necessity and doesn’t leave my bag. You can buy this here.

Lipstick- YESSSSS! My MAC Blankety lipstick!! I absolutely love this shade and the way it makes my lips feel. I don’t use this everyday, but I do carry it around with me because like I said before...you never know where the day might take you. You can buy this here.

Lipbalm- My go to babylips never leaves my bag either. I have several of these and keep one in my car, one in my bag, and one in my bedside table drawer. It’s not called intensive care for no reason because this seriously takes my lips from dangerously dry to beautifully smooth within a few applications! I honestly would recommend this lipbalm. You can buy this here.

Lipgloss- Funnily enough I picked up this lipgloss as an impulse buy from Beauty Base. It was completely random and I just wanted to know what it did. It’s actually really cool because depending on your complexion, it turns your lips a colour to match! So cool!! I’m not too sure whether they still sell this but check out your nearest Beauty Base if this appeals to you. I’m not usually a lipgloss kinda gal but sometimes my mood changes and takes me to the gloss!

Nails- I got this cuticle cream recently in a birthday hamper and I like how moisturising it is for my cuticles. Whenever I find myself stuck in traffic or something I like to give my nails a little TLC! It’s nice how it’s in a little tub too so you can carry it around wherever you go. You can buy this here.

Anti-bacterial hand gel- This is the absolute handbag necessity! Every woman needs to be carrying antibacterial hand gel with them. You honestly never know what might happen and I just think it’s super important to keep yourself protected from bad bacteria. Especially when travelling on public transport! You can buy this here.

Perfume- I’ve been wearing Ghost Deep Night since I was about 14 years old!! I have lots of others too but I’ve found this to be my favourite over the years and always keep it in my bag. You can buy this here.

2-Store Cards

I always carry these around with me as I tend to go into Boots and Superdrug very often. They just allow me to collect points when I spend so that someday I can buy more! If you find that you shop a lot in certain places it’s definitely worth it to apply for advantage cards because there are just way more benefits!

3- iPod and iPhone

I have the iPod Touch and iPhone 5s and I honestly don’t think I can leave home without them! I use my phone for the obvious reasons but also for music! Whenever I’m driving around in my car I’m always listening to something.

4- Hair Combs

The larger hair comb is from Tresemme and is really great for those windy days!

5- Car Keys and House Keys

6-Sunglasses

These are my ultimate favourite sunglasses. I’m not one for spending hundreds on sunglasses because living in London you don’t really get to use them much in my opinion. I got these a couple years ago from H&M and they’re perfect enough for keeping the sun out!

That’s everything I keep in my every day bag right now. It seems like a lot but honestly it’s not. I hope you enjoyed this tag and taking a little sneak peak into my handbag.

Until next time beautiful people,
