Happy Monday everyone! Even though it's my second week back at work this year, I still don't feel ready. I need a longer holiday, thanks. Today I thought I would give you a glimpse into my current handbag. I could have sworn I have done a post like this before but I couldn't find it anywhere - oh well.
The handbag itself is on the smaller side, and I picked this up from Colette a few months ago. Sadly it's no longer for sale, as it's a great little bag. Perfect size to fit everything I need, and not too heavy at all.
Everything in my handbag right now. Yeah there's a lot of stuff in there.
Of course I need my perfume; my fragrance of choice right now is the Impulse fragrance in Into Glamour* which gives a subtle yet refreshing scent. I also popped in the Avene Thermal Spring Water to give myself a spritz if I need to during these hot summer days. My doggies actually love being spritzed in the face with this too. I also have the Thank You Hand Sanitiser in my handbag as my skin gets very died out by the soaps in public bathrooms, so I use this after to help restore moisture.
Makeup wise I only have a few things. Right now my all time favourite powder makeup for on-the-go is the L'Oreal Infallible 24 Hour Powder Foundation. This goes on really easily with a sponge and there's even a mirror. No need for a brush or anything which makes life a lot easier. I also have a Nivea Lip Butter in Vanilla & Macadamia for when my lips are feeling dry, and a Boe Professional lipstick that my friend Leah sent to me. It's the perfect nude for any occasion. Sadly the shade name has rubbed off. I also have a pack of bobby pins and a pair of Manicare tweezers for just in case.
As I get the train a lot, I need some distractions. I will usually take my Kindle to work with me - I just finished reading The Exorcist and am now on the lookout for a new book. I also bring my phone (of course) and my Sony headphones so that I can listen to my favourite podcasts. I also always bring a USB storage device with me just in case - you never know when you might need it.
This is a new addition to my handbag; my 2016 diary. I got this in a Halloween Swap with Jojo's Beauty. It's really handy to take this with me as I can remember to write down important dates. I also bring a little mini notebook that my friend Sophie got me in the Kris Kringle gift she sent to me. I use this to write down blog ideas and inspiration. I also have my cute Typo pen so I can write everything down.
And the essentials. I have my handy little coin purse, which is also from Colette, which stores my cards and minimal cash. I also have to bring my ventalin puffer as I suffer from asthma, and of course my house keys. I also take with me a citrine crystal which is supposed to help with money and fortune.

I really wish I could find my earlier post so that I could compare, but sadly I must have deleted it or named it something strange. I was surprised at myself for keeping my handbag so clean lately, I was half expecting more rogue lipsticks.
What's in your handbag? Is there anything in my handbag that seems odd or strange? Anything in there that you love?
