Updated Handbag Essentials

I'm sure that I am not the only one who is constantly changing up the bits and pieces that are kept in their handbag. Especially if you treat yourself to a new one. Or if you're like me, and always say yes when asked 'would you like your receipt?', then you are also constantly going through and clearing out your bag.. These are the items that I like to keep in my handbag. 

Purse

Of course! You can't have a handbag without a purse. Even if it is just for loose change to pay for parking. I know a lot of people have their cards on their phone for Apple Pay, but I don't use that, and like to have my cards on me. How cute is this one?! I was kindly treated to a new handbag for my birthday last year and my other Ted Baker purse was too big for this gorgeous little bag. Sam choose this card wallet as a Christmas present, and it goes so well with the bag. 

Hand Sanitiser

I think this one goes without saying - but definitely an essential to have in my handbag at the moment. It comes in handy at work, to wash my hands quickly before having a snack. Plus it's the convenience of having it in your handbag, as then you will always have it on you. 

Lipsticks Of Choice

That's right, plural. I am always swapping and changing my lipsticks that I wear on the daily, but I will always carry it with me, in case I need to top up throughout the day. My favourites at the moment as always are the Mac Whirl lipliner, with Mac Yash matte lipstick. If I fancy a bit of gloss then it's the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$y. The lip gloss is in place of my beloved Vaseline. 

Hand Cream

Can't be without a tube of hand cream at the moment. With the rate of washing my hands, I hate not having any hand cream near by. I picked this one up on a weekly shop and I am obsessed. It smells like coconut, almond heaven. The scent lingers too, which I love. If you're not a fan of overly scented products, than this won't be for you, but I love!

Handbag Essentials

I've never done a post like this one before, but I recently read another bloggers post, and thought it was such a good idea! I love to be nosey, so therefore seeing what other people keep inside their handbags on the daily basis, for a day out, or for a trip to the supermarket - I'm so intrigued! So other than the wrappers, accumulating number of receipts and loose plasters, this is what my handbag consists of on a daily basis.

Vaseline 
It gives me heart palpitations when I leave the house without some sort of lip balm. I always find that whenever you don't need a lip balm, you have one on you. But that one time that you are really suffering with dry lips, your lip balm that lives in your handbag is NEVER there. Surely I can't be the only one?! You'll always find at least one tin of Vaseline in my handbag.

Hand Cream
Because I am always washing my hands (don't ask me why.. I just always do haha), my hands tend to get dry really quickly. So keeping a handy size - if you pardon the pun - in my handbag is a life saver for when my hands need a bit of care.

Lipstick
Whatever lipstick I chose to wear in the morning always remains in my bag, wherever I go. Just in case I need a top up. I always carry around the lipliner that I used in the morning too. My favourite if the Mac Whirl - it's gotten so small due to the amount of use that it's received, I really should get another haha.

Purse
Of course, this one goes without saying.

Hair Accessories
A hair brush always lives in my handbag, no matter how small it is. You never know when you might need one. Alongside that, I keep a handful of hair grips and hairbands, for putting my hair up if I need too, or if it is already up and needs some attention. Always have to be prepared haha.
