What's in my makeup bag

my day to day makeup bag

I was recently contacted by The Little Beauty Guide who kindly asked me if they could feature me in a 'what's in my makeup bag' post. I was thrilled to be asked and I submitted some shots of my day to day makeup bag content so I thought I'd post them here too. I wanted to show what I actually take in my handbag with me day to day, whether that's to work or out and about, and it's taken me a long time to find an 'edit' that actually works for me; I used to have so much makeup in my bag and it would be floating about at the bottom with loose change and chewing gum packets so when I eventually got around to sorting out a makeup kit that I would be using day to day, I wanted to make sure it would work hard for me.

You can read the full interview here where I talk more in depth about each product but here's my definitive list:

Versace Vanitas minature perfume (buy here)

Nails Inc Colville Mews minature (buy here)

Bourjois Rouge Velvet in Hot Pepper (buy here)

I'd love to know what you would consider your capsule kit essentials! Leave your must-have products in the comments!
