Be Prepared

What's in my bag? What's not in my bag?

...

Left to right, top to bottom, pretty much prepared for everything!

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - I wear too much mascara, every single day. Nearly always waterproof, but always blackest black. Great Lash is what I use the most, but I've used pretty much every brand. Definitely a basic, well-shaped brush.

Ray-Ban Tortoiseshell Wayfarers - I've worn this shape since I was a first-year, but this is my first pair of Wayfarers. They're weighted in a way that is both comfortable and sturdy. Plus, a proper pair of lenses is so much better for your eyes.

Wet Ones Minis - My boyfriend got me these as gift, with a bag of Pink Lady apples. I eat a lot of fruit on the run..

Glo-Mesh Beige purse - a Christmas gift, three years ago. My mama manages to find me a new one every time I wear my old one out. She says they're usually in mint condition in the Op-Shop because they were previously only used on special occasions. This one came in its original box!

Kiehl's moisturiser tester - a just in case throw in for travelling. I can't stand my face being dry. The Kiehl's lady was sweet enough to throw this in when I bought my Amber Essential Oil.

Keys - You can't see it, but I have an Aldi shopping cart token (ignore the Vintage Cellars one..).

Nivea Honey and Milk lip balm - smells like a shower and seals my lips off. A tube doesn't get my fingers mucky.

Berocca tube and Jupiter Bar - two of my favourites. Both so delicious. Plus, it's Original Berocca, apparently the only flavour to have. I can't comment.

Work Receipt and Black Sheep coffee card - the receipt reflects my continual list-making and the card is a memento from a recent trip to the Farmer's Markets with my parents.

iPhone headphones (and iPhone not pictured) - I love having my favourite playlists on my phone in case we go to parties and headphones are always handy for zoning out on noisy buses.

L'Oréal True Match Mineral Foundation - amazing. Best mineral foundation ever, without the remotest hint of sparkle. Doubles as powder and concealer too.

Sharpie and random pen - Sharpie is always handy for last minute gigs. I learnt my lesson when I was without one once.

Rimmel Shocking Pink, Revlon Really Red, Covergirl Darling lipsticks - various shades for whatever mood. The first two shades are a bit more bam, yet perfectly matte, and solidly pigmented. The Darling is moisturising and doubles as a natural blush.

Penguin Book Bag - not quite pictured, but my old-time love. Fits everything and matches everything.

It suddenly seems that I'm not quite as prepared as I could be, I'd really like to start carrying my phone charger and I usually have a scarf and notebook in there too. Nevertheless!

..so, what's in your bag? I'm snoopy and I'd love to know. It's just one of those fascinating things..
