(SMALL) BAG ESSENTIALS

This is going to be an updated post about what's in my bag and specially about what are the kind of essentials to keep in a small handbag. I personally enjoy reading other people's what's in my bag posts so hopefully you will enjoy this post too.
I got this new bag a month ago and I really love it. It's the Michael Kors Medium Selma Messenger bag; It's quite small but it's perfect to keep inside exactly what you need.

A few essentials that I always keep in my bag are of course the wallet (it should be a small wallet so you will still have plenty of room left for other stuff ;)), the phone and the keys but I also always carry a compact powder with a big mirror for "touch ups" throughout the day; this one is Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder SPF15. I always bring with me the Dior Lip Glow balm, I just love this thing so much! Last, I also have the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector, another great product for your lips.

Other essentials include a pack of tissues, a pen, my headphones, hand sanitizer, tic tac candy, a hair tie, a plaster and sunglasses.

What do you keep in your handbag?

Happy Monday everyone!

TOP 5 OF THE MONTH: AUGUST 2014

Today is time for me to show you my August Favourites, the 5 products that I've been loving the most during this month. Let's get started!

 Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF20 Illuminating 

This is my favourite base product for summer time. It has a light and lovely formulation that goes on smoothly and brightens your skin. 

Kiko Nail Laquer #357  Bright Orange

I've been wearing this nail polish colour a lot on my nails and toes during this month. It is a bright orange-red colour, very pretty and very flattering on fair complexions. Check my favourites summer nail polishes here.

Kiko Ultra Glossy Stylo SPF15 #807 Red Coral

These lipsticks feel like a tinted lip balm, they are very moisturising and the color is quite sheer and it has a glossy finish. This colour is a beautiful sheer coral red.

Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster

I was really surprised how well this worked! Literally this gives you a lovely natural tan. It is easy to use and the results are fantastic. You need to mix only 3 drops with your regular moisturizer before to go to bed and the next morning you have a natural bronzed glow. The color is very natural but definitely there is a noticeable difference with 3 drops.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

I think this is my third bottle already! I love this mist. I use it as a toner, to fix my make up or when I just want to refresh my skin. It feels fresh and cooling on the skin. I like the way my skin feels afterwards: soft and moisturized. I always get the smaller size bottle so I can carry it around in my hand bag. This is addictive!
