What's In My Handbag #2

What's In My Handbag #2

Not my finest selfie but this was the start of flu virus from hell so this is as good as it was gonna get..

Well I'm back, with another video for you all! This time I decided to give you a look inside my rather bulky handbag. It really is like the modern-day Mary Poppins bag, given what I was finding in there. Now advanced apologies for the somewhat stranger sounding voice as I had a sore throat+cough when I filmed this video. I also apologise for the overuse of "um" and "essential" but anyway..here's what's in my well loved handbag. Enjoy!

On The Go Makeup Bag

No matter how big or small your handbag is there's always the place for the essential touch-up items. C'mon, if you're anything like me, your handbag will be a bottomless pit. There is always room for something. As I'm often out and about in the city, rushing home to touch up my makeup isn't a realistic option for me. Bring in the on the go makeup bag, the miscellaneous beauty bits and bobs that I carry around with me to take care of touch ups, scent top ups and more...

My little makeup bag is from a shop called The Yellow Brick Road in Ponsonby.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume vial (almost empty) and Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin cologne (part of a Christmas gift set last year)- I'm not too sure why there's currently two perfumes in my makeup bag but sometimes when a scent wears off I like to apply a different one during the day. Mini perfumes and rollerball fragrances are great to have handy as they don't take up much handbag space. They're also great for holidays as well.

Benefit They're Real sample size mascara-This is my favourite mascara of the moment and this is perfect for touch ups during the day. This size isn't sold separately but Benefit are bringing out a new set with the full sized mascara and this one soon. I wish all makeup brands had miniature versions of their mascaras available. 

The Body Shop  blotting paper-Admittedly I only use these on the days where I forget to put a makeup brush in my bag but they are great if you just need to blot particularly shiny areas of the face. They aren't as effective as reapplying powder but if you are brushless or carrying a smaller bag then they get the job done.

What's in my Benefit Beauty Bag

Last week was very Benefit-fied. On Wednesday night I attended a blogger's event to celebrate the brand's launch in New Zealand. It was a great chance to learn more about the brand and have a play with their products. Thursday saw their counter's debut in Smith and Caugheys where a good hour was spent looking at the products with M and of course taking home some essentials in this gorgeous Benefit beauty bag.


High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer This is the secret to achieving a healthy glow. This cream highlighter can be applied onto the brow bone and along the top of the cheekbones to create a radiant finish. Blended out this pale champagne colour looks so beautiful. It isn't too shimmery so it creates a lovely, natural highlight.

They're Real! Mascara* I've already confessed my love for this mascara here and it is a bestseller in both Myer stores throughout Australia and Sephora in the States, which says something. The formula is great, it doesn't flake or clump on the lashes and is also easy to remove. This mascara looks fabulous worn naturally or layered up with several coats.

What's in my University bag

Hello everyone! I'm back from my week-long holiday, it was fabulous & I feel very well rested. Today I thought I'd mourn think about the fact that my studies resume again next week & with that in mind I decided to do a study themed post! If you're yet to find your University stationery, perhaps want some new school stationery or are maybe thinking about what to pack in your bag like me then you might find some ideas here.

Cambridge Satchel Company Tan Leather Satchel  & my beloved laptop which I carry in a separate sleeve.

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag

I really enjoyed doing my last "what's in my bag" post in January & I always love watching beauty vlogger's "what's in my makeup bag" videos on YouTube, in a non stalkerish way of course. I am staying with some of my extended family for a week & this is what I've packed in the way of makeup. Note this is more or less what I'm using on a daily basis this month as well but obviously I couldn't take everything with me, eyeshadow palettes & giant perfume bottles for example.



Chanel La Ligne De Chanel Professional Eyeliner Duo #10 Noir Lamé. 
Nars Eyeshadow in Night Star to line the inner corners of my eyes.
Jo Malone Basil, Lime & Mandarin Cologne mini size that was part of their 2012 Christmas Crackers.
MAC Eyeshadow Duo in Satin Taupe. I'm not too sure what the matte brown colour is but I'm using it to fill in my brows at the moment.
MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in A Natural Flirt.
Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine.

What's in my Bag


I am one of those people that could spend a long time pinning room ideas on Pinterest & I love to look at room tour & what's in my bag posts so I decided to jump on the bandwagon & do my own. This handbag is usually saved for special occasions or outings that require a considerably fancy handbag to match. This was purchased at San Lorenzo Markets in Florence after I'd seen them in this video on Lady Melbourne's blog. As far as I remember a few of the stalls had these so if you're traveling through Florence & like the look of this bag then you can get yourselves one there.

My dearly loved handbag.


Anyway enough about my bag, it's time to look at what exactly is in my bag!

The bounty.
