WHAT'S IN MY BAG?

Welcome to my first what's in my bag post! I've always been interested in what other people carry around in their bags with them and have wanted to do one of these posts for an age now. I thought that since I treated myself for my 21st birthday I should bite the bullet and write my own. For my 21st I decided to buy myself the bag of my dreams (which I had worked all summer for). This was the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30 in the monogram canvas (here). I bought this bag on my way to New York City where I spent my 21st birthday in the Statue Of Liberty's Crown. It has been my everyday bag for a good few months now (pretty much since I bought it) and I absolutely love it.  I use the bag with and without the strap and find on lazy days the strap becomes very handy! The monogram print is a statement Louis Vuitton print. I chose the monogram as it matched my old LV too! Win win. I find I just chuck everything and anything into this bag and by the end of the week I normally end up with 1/3 of my lipsticks just floating about in the bottom. These are a few items I like to keep in my bag on the day to day. There is also many other items found in there week to week but these are the items always found in here. In the image on the right I have taken the straps off but they attach on either side into the clips.

A PALETTE OF NUDES

As a makeup hoarder, obviously, I have many palettes and many palettes that contain nude and transition colours. BUT who wouldn't love to create their perfect palette including colours of their choice? I started creating my Z-Palette back in March 2016 but have since swapped the large palette for the extra large as my nude tones needed more room.

PHOTO DIARY: AMSTERDAM

This little blog post is a collection of images from my recent trip to Amsterdam with a few friends. We went over for a weekend of exploring, good food and plenty of museum visits. 

KYLIE COSMETICS

It feels like a very long time since I've sat down and written a blog post and truth is I just haven't felt very motivated to do so recently. BUT times have changed and I'm getting my act together and getting back on track. I received my Kylie Cosmetic lipsticks in the mail a few weeks ago now and just haven't had a chance to finish writing this post. I've had these for nearly a month now so I feel that's an appropriate length of time to write about how I feel about these lip products.

VANCOUVER HAUL

So I recently got back from Canada where I spent far too much time in Sephora. I think I actually made 5 trips in there in one week... Ooopsie. I also took a trip into the MAC Store and picked up a few goodies there too. So this is just a little blog post trying to justify my purchases and make myself not feel so bad.

THE EFFORTLESS NARS FACE

Since I own a lot of NARS goodies I wanted to try using one brand to create a make up look. I wanted to create something that would be an easy, quick go to that I'd be able to rely on this summer. The only thing I used that wasn't NARS was a Mascara; as I really don't see the point in an expensive mascara. This is sort of a no makeup- makeup look, but made me look very awake even though I really wasn't.

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Soon as I saw this palette on the Urban Decay Instagram account I had been counting down the days until it was released. As always the Americans got their hands on it first which meant checking the UD site daily from the 1st. I couldn't quite contain my excitement when it was posted through my letter box. As far as I know this palette is now sold out pretty much everywhere in the UK.

Also  I'm headed for Vancouver, Canada for a few days so expect a haul post from that too! Anyway can we just get onto how gorgeous this packaging is...
