What's in my bag? | College Edition

Hello! Today I am going to show you what is in my College bag at the moment!  I have taken this stuff straight out of my bag (Apart from the makeup) from school so it is exactly what I have in my bag at the moment! Hope you enjoy.

I have tried to put links to any products where I can.

So first off, here is my bag! It is from River Island and it's black with a snakeskin looking pattern and it has Gold hardware.  I love this bag because it's black and goes with everything I own, also it is a great size for college and fits everything in it!

Next are my folders.  At the moment I only use 2 folders for the subjects I am studying but I imagine that soon I will need to purchase another one (as I will have more work oh). These take up one half of my bag. I also have my anthology for English which is full of lovely poems that I have to annotate...

Here I have;

1. Some books that I am reading/studying at the moment (Well I should be..) for English.  These include:  In Cold Blood, The Catcher in the Rye and Frankenstein.

2. An umbrella - for the lovely rain here in England!

3. An old magazine that I am currently using for Media.

Next is my makeup bag.

 I'm pretty sure its from Boots and it is a nice size with roses on it.  Here is what makeup I usually take to school with me:

- Glowfusion Bronzer

- Collection Pressed Powder

- Jean Paul Gaultier Brow Definer

- Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

- Mac Select Cover Up Concealer

- Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer

- Soap and Glory Thick & Fast Mascara

- Powder/Bronzer Brush (I use this for both at school)

- Foundation Brush

I take it all to school with me because I usually need at least one thing out of the lot, so I thought I may as well take it all haha.. 

 

Here are a few more beauty products I take with me.

Usually I will take whatever lipstick I am wearing that day, there is usually always a lipgloss somewhere in my bag so I just rely on that one. Also I now take a lipbalm as its colder and my lips get dry in the cold. Here I have:

- Clarins Gloss Appeal Lipgloss in 05 Hibiscus

- Kiko Pencil Lip Gloss in 07 Baby Pink

- Jean Paul Gaultier lip balm in 02

My Pencil Case!

This pencil case is from Paperchase.  In it I have a selection of pens, pencils and other stationary (How interesting!..)

Next some random things!

1. My Purse.  I keep my money and cards in here (I probably shouldn't take this to school as I spend it all on food and hot drinks from the Starbucks at our school...).  This purse is from River Island.

2. Some hair bands and Bobby Pins just in case I get bored of the hairstyle i'm wearing or feel like putting my hair up!

3.  Haha, this popcorn is in my bag because I was trying to make it at school but I haven't managed to find someone let me use their microwave yet.. This packet is from Graze.

A few more random things...

1. Fragrance mist.  I love keeping one of these in my bag for a quick refresh throughout the day.  I got it in New York and every time I smell it it reminds me of New York which I love!  It's called 'Very Sexy Touch'  from Victoria's Secret and I love it so much.

2. Headphones, these are great in college as we are allowed to listen to music a lot.

3. Compact mirror.  Great for quickly checking your face (often when I accidently draw on it..)

 And that's everything!  Except for this random stuff at the bottom of my bag.. A lot of chocolate wrappers. Woopsie - I need to clear this out.

Okay, now thats everything!

Sorry this post was rather long - but I hope you enjoyed it and it was helpful in some way any way.  

Hope you all have a good half term (If you are at school/college).

Let me know if you keep anything different in your school/college bags in the comments.

Would you rather tag | Beauty edition

Hello! Here is the 'would you rather' tag (beauty edition).  I thought this would be a fun tag to do and I tag all of you! Link or type below your answers to these questions.

1. Would you rather lose all of your mascaras, eyeliners, lipsticks, and lipglosses or lose all of your palettes and eyeshadows?

Definitely my palettes and eyeshadows, I do wear eyeshadow everyday however I think eyeshadow may look a tad weird without any other eye makeup. Also I absolutely love eyeliner, mascara, lipstick and lipgloss.  And I can easily go a few days without eyeshadow before buying a new palette.

2. Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?

Mmm, never be able to cut it again.  I wouldn't mind that because my hair doesn't really grow anymore (I don't think) and the ends only get a little bit dry so it's all good! Also I would hate to not have any hair eeek.

3. Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?

I will probably have to say coral, just because when I wear true pink blusher I look a little like a clown... But coral is more similar to bronzer which I prefer anyway so yeah definitely coral.

4. If you had £1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?

Clothes definitely, I have enough makeup to use - saying that I have a lot of clothes, but you can never have too many clothes and I just love clothes shopping... too much.

5.) Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner, or eyeliner as lipstick?

Probably eyeline as lipstick.. just because you can get pink eyeliner and using a lipstick as eyeline could get a little messy.

6.) Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?

I love Sephora but I will have to say MAC because there is no Sephoras in England :((( so it may be a tad hard if that was the only place I could shop.

7.) Would you rather only use one eyeshadow color or one lip color for the rest of your life?

One eyeshadow color because even though I like changing the colors on my eyes I think different a colored lip is more noticeable and I like to change it up depending on the season. However with eyeshadow I could wear just neutral colors all year round.

8.) Would you rather wear winter clothes in summer or summer clothes in winter?

Thats trickeeey, I love clothes for both seasons.  I will say Winter clothes in Summer though because I feel it is going to be hard to pick out outfits for the Summer at college because we aren't allowed to wear short shorts and so it would be easier.  Also I sort of don't dress overly wintery in winter anyway (Today I did wear a crop top...) so it wouldn't be too bad.

9.) Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?

Bright! Because I love wearing bright colors in Summer and Winter but I only really wear darks in the Winter. 

10.) Would you rather give up your favorite lip product or your favorite eye product?

Favourite lip product because it's a MAC lipstick and I'm pretty sure there is a shade very similar that I could buy!

11.) Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a ponytail or a messy bun?

Mmm, If I was able to do a nice messy bun... then a messy bun, but as I can't at the moment I would prefer a high ponytail because they can look nice too (and I like swinging them around) 

12.) Would your rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?

Definitely never be able to paint my nails again.  I don't paint them that much anyway (because I can't) and literally put on lipgloss like every 20 minutes soo.. 

13.) Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all or sharpie them in everyday?

I think I would rather just have none because surely they'd grow back and I would get more bullied for having stupid sharpie eyebrows than having none (maybe).

14.) Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?

I'd rather live without nail polish definitely because I love love love makeup and it helps my face look better which is more important than my nails (In my opinion).

Remember, I tag you all!
