What's in my bag: The essentials

I have done a what's in my bag on my Youtube channel a very long time ago, and I have to admit, who needs all that crap in their bag?!?! so it got me thinking.... what are my hand bag essentials?

I have my Michael Kors bag (Medium selma studded messenger bag) which was limited edition (SORRY), I use this bag all the time, its great when I dont need a big bag and what to add some edge to my outfit. Yes it was expensive but I saved up and use it all the time, I gave definitely got my moneys worth out of it already. 

so rant over, lets get on with what my hand bag essentials are....

first of all, lets take a moment to admire the bag itself.....

 

Isn't she beautiful?? Lets take a look inside

First thing at the top is my phone. I have an i Phone 5s which is a recent upgrade (iphone 6 was just massive), This is my baby, keeps me organised, great for work and I just love it TEAM IPHONE!!

I have a Michael Kors case which was second hand off a friend, I love it and it goes with the phone so well.

Next are my headphone, which is a essential if you have to get public transport, I got these with the phone, not the best for my ears but they'll do till I decide to get a new set.

In England summer time, you are very lucky to get any sun, so sun glasses at this time of year stay in my bag. they are from TK Maxx and they are the brand french church, love the shape and they actually look good on me (who has a small head lol)

I do love my iphone ALOT! But the battery life isnt the best, espeically if you use the phone alot, so I always have my phone charger and portable charger with me, cant risk my phone dying if I am travelling home.

Hand cream and hand bacterial gel are a must, if you get public transport and suffer with dry skin, and they are small sized so great for a small hand bag.

I wasnt sure whether to put this up, but this is an esssential at the moment, I am on antibiotics at the moment for toncilitis, 8 tablets a day, so need to keep these on me.

Lady supplies.....No explanation needed really

Last but not least, my keys (well a key and loads of keyrings lol) These are attached to the key holder at the bottom of my bag, so I don't risk  losing my keys if I drop it for example. 

So there you go, my handbag essentials. this may seem alot to some people but they are what I need and I do still have a lot of space left in my bag so that's all that matters.

what are your hand bag essentials, comment below, I would love to know

Long time no see

Just a quick post because i have seriously neglected my poor wee blog for a long time now.
work has just been so busy and i have had like no time to sit down and work on my blog or my youtube.

I have decided I am now gonna blog at least once a month or when I feel inspiration, say like I am going to the beach and I am inspired by the view (that is just an example haha). 

I would love your request of what I can blog about, products you would like me review, current faves etc. 

Go on comment below for your request, also request for my you tube, I am thinking to do a what's in my bag first to get me going. I have left my camera charger at my aunties house like a silly billy and didn't even realised I left it there. The next week or so I will be uploading

My first ever pair of Dr Martens: Drench Boot-first impressions

On the 14th June I said hello to my first ever pair of Dr Marten boots! Exciting times I know. I wanted some wellies for when I went to a festival (global gathering) I had some wellies but I wear them for work and the are quite high, and it just thought they are gonna take to much space in my rucksack, so I just google low ankle wellies and BAM! Docs came up and for £75 I could not turn them down, what is good about them is they are 100% waterproof which is great for British summer weather haha.

 Sorry for the bad quality picture, I took this on my phone for instagram and the lighting is not very good 

The ones i purchased were the purple ones in a size 6 and I am a 5.5 (annoying I know). And when they arrived which was very quick I tried them on and went to the Trafford centre, because they are not leather they did not need breaking in and they are so comfy you would not believe, what a relief!

They look so cute on, and I they are 100% waterproof

The are such a good price and when you order off the dr martens official site it' free delivery on orders over £50 so saving yourself some money, and they are going to last a while for sure, they will be perfect for when the horrible British winter arrives too.

 I will be buying a leather pair of wellies as soon as I can, I want the black ones!!

what do you guys think of the drench boots?

Maybelline 24hr color tattoo//my latest addiction: swatches

The past month or two I have had a little addiction to a certain makeup product, and as you can tell from the title of this post it is the maybelline 24hr color tattoos. they are basically cream eyeshadow bases which can also be used on the own. they are so creamy you would not believe, and they are really pigmented.

the first one I purchased was 55-Immortal Charcoal which is a dark silvery grey shade, this is the prefect base for the ever so classic smokey eye, that's mainly the only thing i used that shade for.

The next shade I purchased was 65-pink gold, which is a pale pink shade with gold glitter in it. I have been wearing this shade alot on its own all over my lid and blended out with M.A.C's all that glitters eyeshadow in my crease, its been my got to spring/summer makeup eye look, a tutorial will be coming soon on my channel for this look, so keep an eye out for that on my channel.

the third shade I purchased was 40-permanent taupe which is a a brown(almost matte) colour with a purple undertone in it, some people describe it as a mushroom colour. I use this in my outer V of my eye, i match this up with the latest colour i purchased which is the very popular 35-bronze on bronze which is a coppery gold colour. I use this all over the lid, this is also great to wear on its own (this will be used in another makeup tutorial I plan doing soon also)

Here are the swatches of the products below

Left to right immortal charcoal, pink gold, permanent taupe, and bronze on bronze

I do find the darker shades are not as blendable but just use your finger and they are just like the others

I love my small collection I have and I intend to to collect more, wish we had more colour range like they do in the states (so jealous).

which color tattoos do you have and which one is your fave? i just cant decide

Update: Where have I been?

I have taken a step back from my blog and you tube channel the past few weeks, mainly because I have had alot of things going on at work and just haven't had time. 

Unfortunately my grandma was rushed into hospital on Tuesday 1st April, she had a heart attack just over 2 years ago and has been very poorly ever since, she just wasn't well and all  family went to see here . unfortunately this morning my grandma gained her wings after her 2 year battle, I am absolutely heart broken but I know she is no longer in a any discomfort and has now joined my grandad in the sky.

I have filmed 2 videos for my youtube channel but cant be sure when they will be live online. 

I just wanted to inform my followers whats going on and I will be back to normal as soon as I can. I hope you understand.

Me and my Grandma Christmas 2013. love you so much grandma! I will miss you so much

RIP XXX
