PURSE ESSENTIALS

celine belt bag


celine belt bag

I don’t know about you guys but one of my favorite types of posts to read are the “what’s in my bag” posts.  I love being able to take a look into someone else’s bag to see what purse essentials they carry around on the daily.  It’s been awhile since I last did one so wanted to share an update, especially since I’ve been carrying this new Celine beauty around.  If you’d like to get a closer look on the purse itself, check out my Celine belt bag review on my Youtube channel here.  But want to see the items I carry around each day?  Well, keep on reading!

vaseline lip tin

Vaseline Rosy Lips Lip Tin — I’m SO GLAD Vaseline brought these babies to the US!  I first purchased a lip tin in a London Boots drugstore in 2010 and used it all up since it lived in my bag.  I’m a big fan of rose scented products and really like the simple but effective moisturizing power of Vaseline–I also have another two tins of original and rosy lips in my desk drawer.  I’m constantly applying this on the go and especially love applying before my liquid lipstick.  A lot of liquid lipsticks are so drying and uncomfortable, so a thick swipe of Rosy Lips while I’m doing my makeup is key.  Once I’m ready to apply my lip color, I dab off the extra Vaseline and pop on my color!  So glad I stumbled on these at Target!

Notebook and pen — I’m an AVID list maker and I just cannot get on board with using the notes function on my iPhone.  I love putting pen to paper to remind me of the things I need to get done for work and my life.  This notebook is from Sugar Paper LA and I love the cute gold spiral binding.

Makeup and brushes for touchups — My skin can get oily so I like to keep a few makeup essentials on hand to touch up once my 4pm makeup meltdown starts to happen.  Lately I’ve been carrying around this ittse palette and Morphe brush.  I love the eyeshadow and highlighter colors I put in this little palette, its so easy to blend a little extra shadow in my crease to touch up–or add a bolder color on the go if I am headed out to dinner.  This Morphe E28 brush has been my go-to for my eyes and I can complete and entire look with just this one brush if I had to (and it’s so cheap!)

vaseline lip tin

vaseline lip tinAltoids — Always great to have a stash of these in your bag!  I used to carry gum around but I would forget that I was chewing it and would end up chewing it in meetings–eek!  These mini Altoids are easy to quickly enjoy and get a boost of fresh breath after your 3pm coffee.

Brush — Technically this is a mini wet brush for detangling your hair after the shower but I bought it because I love the purple color and it’s mini-ness.  #LongHairProblems but I get massive tangles at the nape of my neck so I quickly detangle so avoid a bigger mess later.

vaseline lip tinFacewipes — I’m a facewipes HOARDER.  I have every brand, every variation, every everything.  I love being able to easily swipe off my makeup at the end of the day or add some extra hydration after the gym or if it’s a makeup-free day.  These I picked up from Target and I love that they are scent free and even remove waterproof mascara.  Travel tip–I purposely save the packs of face wipes that have about 10 wipes or less for when I’m traveling.  I pack the almost-used-up package in my bag and its less to carry around and I typically finish them off on the plane coming home!

Hair clips and hair ties — I love having my hair down in soft waves but I also love wearing it up.  Something about pulling my hair up into a bun just feels good and I’ve been particularly fond of clips lately when I’m on the go or embracing a casual day.

Neutrogena sensitive sunscreen — Sunscreen is so important even if you’re just outside during your commute each day.  I like this Neutrogena one because it works into my skin easily and cam be used on my arms, face, legs, you name it.

And there you have it, my purse essentials that I’m toting around at any given time!  Did any of your favorites make it on this list?

xoxo

    Yes, all essentials! Vaseline definitely always makes its way into my purse – I can’t leave home without it! Hair ties, too. My boyfriend never gets the myriad things I ‘have’ to carry around with me, haha.

    My purse will soon become a diaper bag, but I agree that these are some of the essentials I always have in mine. The only thing I would add is a travel sized tube of hand lotion. Being a teacher I am constantly washing my hands, which tends to leave them very dry. I also like to keep a little hand sanitizer in there too for a quick clean after using public doors, at gas stations, etc. I’m not one of those crazy people always needing clean hands, but I’ve found it’s really convenient to feeling clean, especially after a long day.

    I love what’s in my bag posts too — and bonus points if it’s a what’s in my bag YouTube video.
    Love your bag 🙂

    The types of purses I use and what I carry in them really vary. At home in California I carry a Coach wristlet that contains my iPhone, pen, lipstick, plastic and cash. And that’s it! When I’m travel blogging in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I use one of several Baggallini cross body purses. I carry my tech pouch, camera, Mexico cell phone, my USA iPhone, lipstick, plastic, pesos, notebook, pen, business cards, sunscreen and a mini container of baby powder. What I love most about what you carry in your purse is that sweet little container of rosy-tinted Vasoline! I’m going to look for it the next time I’m shopping at Target. 🙂

    I definitely need to add things to my bag. I only carry my wallet, phone, keys, pen, and paper. When I’m out and about I am always in need of chap stick and a hair tie. Thanks for the inspiration. I think I will be adding a few things to by purse before I head out to the grocery store!

    I love these essentials. Now that my hair is getting longer, i’m finding more and more hair ties in my purse. Always a good chapstick and lotion.

I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨ I think about this ALL. THE. TIME. ✨
✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
