What's in my bag?!

Monday, August 20, 2012



After seeing that Glossybox has launched an instagram competition and to enter you have to post what's in your bag, I thought I'd give it a go.

My bag is from TK Maxx I think it cost me £15. Not very expensive at all and I really love it. I pretty much use this everyday. It had loads of pockets and it's great for storing the essentials in.

Onto the contents, other than the boring tissues, tampons, pen, notebook etc.. here's what's in my bag.

My purse - I brought this from TK Maxx too. It's Nica and it cost £10!

Perfume - I picked up this Charlie perfume from Boots on my way to work. It was on offer for £1 and it's great for keeping in my handbag.

Shine Absorbing Sheets - I love these Kleenex ones they work really well and are the perfect size for my bag. I can't live without these.

Lip Balm - I picked up this Body Shop one a while ago! It's perfect for when my lips feel sore and rough.

Antibacterial hand gel - Every bag should have one. Perfect for on the go. I like this Wilkinson's one as it doesn't smell too much like alcohol unlike all the others.

Hairbrush, hairbands and hair grips - essentials!

Powder and brush - I have a love for the Witch anti blemish powder and I need to repurchase! Mine is all crushed! Great for dealing with shiny face!

Lipstick - The current handbag favourite is the one I got in this month's Glossybox. It's a lovely pink colour!

And two things I really can't be without - a bottle of water and my phone!

So that's everything in my bag! Have you got a post of what's in yours? You guys know I'm super nosey so post in the comments if you have a post!

Oh and don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Shine Busters!

Witch Anti-Blemish Pressed Powder* £4.99
Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets £1.99

Now I don't now about the rest of you, but in the summer I get a bit of an oily face. Whether it's from sweat (eeeewww) or suncream or whatever! It's something I hate. I think it's something that I have because of my oily/combo skin. But recently I've found a winning combination in this two products.

I apply my make up as normal and then after a walk to work (or any other exercise) my face, especially under my fringe, gets a tad oily. So I take out a sheet and dab it all over my face. It takes away any excess oil and leaves my make up in place. The sheets last a while and one is plenty enough at a time.

I then touch up my make up with the Witch pressed powder. I love a matte look to my make up and this gets rid of any shine. I also love using it as it contains witch hazel and has an anti blemish formula, so you don't have to feel guilty about putting lots of powder on your face. I'm gutted I've hit pan. I need some more powder as soon as!

So that's my method for keeping the shine away!
