Handbag makeup | HarleyJade

I know, I carry around a lot of crap on a daily basis but this is what I keep in my makeup bag. It needs a clear out, which I will do after this!  The first, and most obvious thing which can be noted is that I carry around far too many lip products! Like, who needs 2 lip balms and 1000 lip sticks? The answer me, clearly.

I keep my chewing gum in here because this is the type of packaging that can spill everywhere. I, personally don't want cinnamon flavoured gum floating around my bag. I picked this up whilst I was in Las Vegas and whilst everyone around me seems to hate it, I love it.

Deodorant, isn't this a necessary? It's in here though as I've had aerosols accidentally spray in my bag before, and I don't want the lovely interior of my bag ruining. Anything that has a chance of leaking I try and package up.

A concealer, because I don't want them big red spots making an appearance throughout the day. They need to be covered! I also keep my powder and brush in here to eliminate any shine/give a bit of extra coverage when my foundation has gone a little patchy. My favourite is the MAC studio fix powder, the brush is a very old cheap one from boots years ago, but it works.

My lipsticks and a lip glosses just never get taken out, but this is one thing I am wanting to change. I don't honestly need to carry half of my collection around with me on a daily basis.I'll be doing a lipstick collection fairly soon so I'll show you the colours there, but if you have any questions until then just ask in the comments. These glosses however are my go-to. The Inglot AMC gloss is to-die-for, you cannot get a prettier gloss. This is my boyfriends favourite. The Clinique one is just good for everything, it doesn't really have a colour, it's just moisturising.

Handy wipes, I'm messy. I spill food regularly, get sticky hands, use them as a pick me up when my face needs refreshing after a couple hours slogging in the library. These are an item that I regularly question why I am carrying it, then no longer than 10 minutes later I whipping them out of my bag. 

My skin care products, (lip balm and serums). My face can usually feel really dry and tight during the day and as I don't always wear makeup I can apply it during the day as a little pick-me-up. I do have three lip balms, no reason. The best in my opinion is the little egg, this is my EOS lip balm, in sweet mint. However these aren't available in the UK, so for that I recommend the burts bees. 

Floss, you never want to be caught out with food in your teeth, another basic that I always use. 
Finally my case Is from Ted Baker, I got it in the malls in Las Vegas and I am totally in love with it. It's baby pick with rose gold hardware. Simple yet classy.
