What's in my Handbag #1

I felt like it was about time I did one of these posts! Since I'm nosy and I like seeing what other people carry about, I thought maybe you might too!

This bag is from Warehouse, I bought it recently, since I was after something smaller than my Zara Office City Bag, and my Michael Kors, which is what I'm normally lugging about! I love how classic it is, black leather and suede, but I was totally sold by the rose gold hardware, it's so pretty!

First things first, I carry around two phones, my personal phone, an iPhone 5, and then I also have the Huawei Ascend P6*, which I use for emails, blog stuff, and for it's amazing camera. Most of the time, I also have my iPad Mini with me too, in it's Victoria's Secret Pink case, which I use for uni work, writing blog posts, and reading on the go. Also in the technology department is my iPod nano, and headphones. My Beats headphones are being repaired at the moment (the wire got ripped on my keys, sob) so I'm using the Apple ones at the moment. I'm currently listening to Laura Palmer by Bastille, The Pretty Reckless, and Subfocus feat. Alex Clare.

I always have a drink of some sort in my bag, usually it's water, but I've been so tired recently that I've been carrying about Lucozade. There's always a pack of gum or mints floating about too, and at the moment I'm loving the Wrigleys Extra White Bubblemint. Two pairs of glasses are in there, I carry a cheap pair of sunglasses always, I only wear my glasses when it's really sunny or I'm going to a barbecue or something, as I'm paranoid about them getting damaged. I keep my glasses on hand too, in case I need to read/drive/use a computer. My uni ID is in there too, in case I need to nip into campus, or I want student discount!

My purse is a leather Ted Baker one, I like it because it's really different to any other Ted Baker Purse I've seen. In there is a mishmash of store cards and not much money. I keep my Oyster card and Railcard in this travelcard holder from Emma Bridgewater, I really like it, it's so cute! I sometimes slip my debit card and ID in here too if I'm going out and I don't want to take a bag. My keys of course, I actually normally have two sets, this is the set of keys for my Halls, I have another set with my car keys and new flat keys on, but they are locked in the boot of my car thanks to my clumsy boyfriend, so I can't show you them! My key ring I got at the Lady Gaga concert last year.

Most of my beauty bits are in the little Vaseline makeup bag, but there are a few miscellaneous bits floating around loose, my Kleenex Blotting Papers for if I get a little oily through the day, or sweaty on the tube, a mini Bumble and Bumble Thickening spray for giving my hair a little extra oomph, and a body spray, this one is Impulse Vanilla and Peach and it's very soft and feminine.

Into the little makeup bag, I always have a mini handcream and sanitizer, and currently that's the Soap and Glory ones. I have another pack of chewing gum, some Nurofen and paracetamol in case of headaches, and a mini dry shampoo for hair emergencies. In case of nail problems, I carry my current polish pick and a file, this is Model's Own Toxic Apple and a freebie nail file from Escentual which I like because it has a little plastic case.

I carry a miniature perfume to freshen up throughout the day, this one is DKNY Women Energizing Eau de Parfum, which is supposed to 'capture the essence of New York' with the scent of Mandarin, Vodka and Daffodil. I like it because it's very fresh and light. Also from the scent department is my This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less rollerball, which comes out if I start to feel panicky.

For makeup touch ups, I carry The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals cream foundation compact. I don't like this as a base, but it's great for touch ups. I use that with the Eco Tools Kabuki. I also carry two lip products, my Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranete for hydrated lips with a pop of colour, and my Dior Serum de Rouge, which gives a super wearable sheer red lip.

So that's it! Other editions normally include my Canon, fifteen other lip products, a handful of receipts and a packet of monster munch.
