Handbag Essentials

I recently read a blog post about a girls handbag essentials, and I found it quite interesting. 

Maybe it was because I like to find new things to put in my bag or because I'm nosey and like

to know what others but in their bags!

My first handbag essential is a notebook and pen of some sort. This one is from a seller on notonthehighstreet.com called; Sealed with Irish Love. Notebooks or planners are good

 to keep around because it helps you stay organised but also is a good place to 

keep your notes and ideas that you randomly  think of throughout the day.

Hand sanitizer and hand lotion is an obvious staple to keep with you. It comes in handy in all types of

situations whether it be that the soap in the toilet has ran out, or you have pen all over 

your hands or it can also be used if you don't have any wipes and you have

 made a small mess on the table or surface just put a bit of this on a piece of tissue and it almost 

works as a disinfectant.

I don't really carry around any makeup items, mainly because I'm too lazy and can't be bothered

to reapply it throughout the day, but also because the majority of the time if I do my makeup in the morning

then it never really comes off, plus if I do go out it is never really for a long time. However there

are those times when something will smudge or a new blemish will appear just as you have

somewhere important to go, so I keep the Revlon colourstay concealer with me just in case I need it.

Cotton buds I find come in handy quite a lot. There have been numerous occasions where 

my mascara will smudge and I need a cotton bud to stop me looking like a panda. These are also handy if 

you are doing your makeup on the go. Another necessity is a nail file. We've all been in those

situations where we've chipped a nail and nobody has a nail file, and those are some of the most

annoying situations to be in, which is why I just carry a small mini nail file with me.
