Handbag Essentials

If you're like me when you wake up in the morning, get yourself ready as quick as you can, grab your bag and run out the door and think "Wait, have I got my ____?" Then I hope this post helps you.

I have certain things that I keep in my bag ALWAYS. They never come out, and that's the things in the pictures.

A Diary

Chewing Gum

Lipbalm

Powder and Brush

Lipgloss

Perfume

There are other things I suggest you always keep in there such as handgel, tissues and other things like that but I forgot them. (The irony!) 

Diary: You always need to know what time you're supposed to be at the hairdressers.

Lipbalm; Dry lips are not cute.

Powder and Brush: You can get oily running about all day!

Chewing Gum: Good breath is always a good move.

Lipgloss: If you're feeling fancy

Perfume: Smelling good should be an essential.

These things never ever leave my bag!

The Only Two Lipgloss' I Can Stand

I have a confession, I hate lipgloss. The consistency, the effect, the texture. I just can't cope with them. I have tried so many from multiple ranges, the Tanya Burr ones are lovely, but I can't wear them for long. MAC lipglasses are just too sticky. Maybelline haven't got the best smell. Call me picky, I just don't get on with them.
That was until I bought these two beauties.

 

Burberry Lip Glows and the Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing lipgloss are the best ones I've ever come across.

I found the Burberry one in TK Maxx, would you believe it? It was £12 and I'm GUTTED, I didn't pick any other shades up as I was quite distraught to see they retail normally for £19. They glide smoothly, they aren't sticky, they give a gorgeous glow to your lips and they are just great! I have the shade No.09 Nude Beige.

The Urban Decay Naked Ultra Nourishing lipgloss was actually in my Naked On The Run palette, which happens to be my all time favourite palette. These retail for £14.50 so more affordable than the Burberry. I can't really compare the two as they both do different things. These have a distinct smell that make my lips feel so soft. I have the shade Sesso and it's the one I wear to work everyday.
