Boohoo Bag.
Forget passports and boarding cards, reading material is my ultimate holiday essential and even though I usually won't even finish reading a magazine on a single flight, for some reason I insist on taking all my reading material in my hand luggage. This time round I elected Cosmopolitan, Elle and Company plus my trusty Kindle. And the eager beavers amongst you may realise that these magazines are from last month and outdated but I have a lot of magazine catching up to do! I also keep a small notebook in my bag just in case I get an idea in my head that needs to be jotted down in the moment.
Of course all liquid cosmetics have to be under 100ml so I always bear this in mind when packing-I couldn't bear to throw a perfectly good cream away! In my hand luggage I tend to stick to the absolute minimum with a uniform of quick fix products for touching up pre-landing. Amongst these are 17 Shimmer Brick in 'Golden Bronze' for a golden flush of colour and shimmer to cheeks, Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in '16', a peachy shade that instantly perks up a tired face, a waterproof mascara, lip balm and Rimmel Cocktail Collection Nail Polish in 'Shirley Temple'. I also pack a moisturiser to keep skin hydrated.
The rest of my hand luggage is usually made up of everyday essentials like my phone, iPod and purse. Also when travelling to a hot destination I always pack my sunglasses because they a) hide tired eyes and b) are a must for facing the sun. I usually take a hairbrush with a few extra bobbles so I can do a quick updo as my hair often ends up static when I'm on a plane! And you can never resist a sweet treat for the ride!
What are your hand luggage essentials?

This was such a fun post, you're bag is so organized! Great round up of essentials, I carry a similar amount of makeup and yes, there always needs to be a sweet treat in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love reading these posts - I'm jetting off to the south of France on Saturday so this was so useful. I'll definitely be taking my kindle, I love getting lost in a book on the aeroplane, and sweets are a must have! xx

Great to see what you take with you as hand luggage when travelling. I am always torn between travelling light and having "essentials" (which I don't need most of the time) with me... For my next trip travelling light will be my priority though.
ReplyDeleteLove reading these posts, even more exciting when they're travel posts! :) Made me want to go on holiday so badly though! I always have to carry round a notebook too, inspiration always seems to strike when you're not looking for it...

I definitely love these posts- I'm super nosy! I can't believe all that stuff fits in your bag! That's a lot! I really like that notebook, by the way! :) I really need to start carrying a notebook as well (they have really cute ones at TJ Maxx, which I believe is similar to TK Maxx...?).
ReplyDeleteMy travel bag essentials are my iPad, phone, camera, lip balm, water, tinted moisturizer, mascara, and glasses. So much to remember when packing for a trip - it gets a bit stressful especially if I'm traveling on a plane (which I try to avoid at all costs, haha)
Awesome. I'm afraid I'm not going anywhere..but I love having my Kindle with me in ..my bag.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, some wonderful things in your bag. Love your bag too!
ReplyDeleteOh! I Love this bag. Great magazine collection too.
ReplyDeleteRimmel's Cocktail Nail Polish Collection sounds fabulous - loving that color! :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your bag post - your bag itself is lovely! I can't resist those fizzy cherry cola bottles from Asda - they are one of the very few sweets I actually like (I'm a chocolate girl all the way!) xx
ReplyDeleteI love your bag. It's so pretty! :)
