PRETTY YOUNG THING

Today I thought i'd share whats in my bag? I haven't done one of these for years so thought i'd share a few bits that I use everyday and always have in my bag.

First of all my bag is a recent purchase, I recently mentioned it in my Autumn / Winter haul on my youtube channel so check that out. It's from Accessorize and was £19 I love it! It's the perfect size for everyday and fits all my bits and pieces inside. I can actually fit my purse, keys and vlogging camera inside which is amazing. My camera is actually broke right now which is why I haven't featured it in this post but I use the Nikon 1 J2 which is a cool little camera for taking photos, I use it for vlogging but it's quite bulky and heavy. I really want to get myself a cute little vlogging camera but I don't even know where to start.

My purse is Ted Baker, I got it from Selfridges in the boxing day sales and it's one of my favourite purchases ever. I have quite a few purses but they are all really big and bulky and I just wanted something a bit smaller for when i'm using smaller bags. This Ted Baker purse has lots of room for cards and even has a zipper for coins. It's such a perfect little purse and the colour is a rose gold / pink shade which I love!!

Right now I have a couple of lipsticks in my bag, First up is Whirl from Mac. Whirl is a darker/ brown tone nude. I found I was wearing Velvet Teddy to death so thought i'd try something new. I've also been reaching for Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Lolita, it's just perfect!

I've found my make up is sliding off recently and my skins quite shiny so I picked up the Laura Mercier shine control pressed powder so I can touch up whilst i'm out and about. I've been using this Spectrum brush from the Marbleous Sculp kit to apply this. I love spectrum brushes and this one is perfect for setting your make up, especially under the eye.

My Tangle Teezer compact is always in my bag, especially now were getting into the winter months and it's getting rather windy. The Tangle Teezer compact fit's inside really easily! I love the pink leopard print pattern that I have. I really like the Limited Edition Lulu Guinness designs and the Markus Lupfer pattern is cool.

My keys! I don't drive so I don't have any car keys but I have my keys to get in the flat and keys to my parents house. I love the big fluffy key ring I have, I picked this up at the Clothes Show last year, it's really handy when i'm using a big bag because it makes finding my keys easier. I have a little Minnie Mouse keyring that I bought in Florida, even though we didn't go to Disney. I got my Deathly Hallows keyring from the Warner Brothers Studio tour in London.

I forgot to include my phone too which i always have in my bag, this bag has a cute little pocket at the front which fits my phone perfectly. What are your handbag must haves?

Lets talk about make up! I have a massive selection of make up but like any girl I have those staple items in my collection that I reach for every single day. I thought i'd share my everyday make up so you can see which bits I reach for daily.

Base: Recently i've been reaching for the Clarins BB Skin Detox Fluid and i've been using this since I got it. It's a lovely lightweight formula which has great coverage and blends so easily. I've been using this with my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for a great everyday base.

Contour, As usual i'm reaching for the Collection Contour kit, i've actually repurchased this recently. The bronzer is the perfect shade, it's a cool toned bronzer so it doesn't make you look orange and blends out really easily for a natural looking contour.

I've been reaching for the Becca Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop highlighter since I bought it. I've reached the pan now and I will buy it again because it's gorgeous for everyday or you can build it up too.

Another product that I recently had to repurchase it the Urban Decay Potion Primer, I got the original one because I find this works best with matte eyeshadow. It makes your eyeshadow look better and last all day long, I use this every single day!

This Clarins Supra Volume mascara has recently become my favourite mascara ever, you can build up long lashes that have some amazing volume. I've been using this one it's own when usually I use two mascaras but theres no need with this one.

I've been using my HD Brows kit to define my brows along side my Soap and Glory Archery brow pencil. I really like the Archery range and use the brow pencil every day, I've repurchased this loads.

Lips:
The NYX soft matte lip creams are lovely, I have a couple of shades that I've been wearing loads recently. I'm still loving Mac Velvet Teddy and have been wearing Whirl a lot too.

Eyeshadow, I've been sticking to my Naked palettes really. I have been wearing Mac expensive pink too as it's a nice all over the lid shade.

I try and mix up my everyday make up but these are the bits I tend to use all the time and always repurchase.

I have to say I love a nude lipstick, I didn't really like them before but after everyone raving on about Mac Velvet Teddy I wanted to get my hands on it. At the time it was pretty much sold out everywhere and I managed to pick it up when I went to America. On the search for a Velvet Teddy Look-alike I bought quite a few nude lipsticks. I have more than the ones featured in this blog post but these are my favourites.

Mac Velvet Teddy has to be the one, it's my all time favourite. I managed to find it in Duty Free on my way home from America and I love it so much. It's my go to shade, I wear it all the time and it's my favourite lipstick.  I love that it's Matte but not drying, its creamy and lasts long. It's just perfect.

Mac Brave, is a little bit more of a pinky shade rather than a brown/ nude and it's a satin finish so quite different to Velvet Teddy but I like the colour. I think it's a very pretty shade and I don't mind the finish. The Satin mac lipsticks are nice and not too glossy or wet they are a nice smooth and sleek finish.

Mac Taupe is a darker more brown shade than Velvet Teddy, it is a Matte lipstick so it's more of a similar finish but the colour isn't as pretty. I like this for nights out as it's a darker sexier shade. Again a lovely finish, I really like Mac lipsticks incase you didn't notice.

Mac Blankety is an amplified lipstick and it's a lovely shade. It's a really nice more pink, girly shade. It's more shimmery than the others but again not wet or tacky. I really like this one.

The Nars lipsticks are really lovely and my favourite is Walkyrie which is a Velvet Matte shade. It's a brown / nude shade with a hint of red. It's a nice rich colour. The finish is lovely, it's a very soft matte, which leaves the lips smooth and not dry at all.

Finally on the search for a Velvet Teddy Dupe I came across this which is the Maybelline Color Drama Nude Pefection lipstick you can read my full review here with swatches but I really like this pencil. Again its a lovely shade and very similar texture, finish and colour to Velvet Teddy so check out

Velvet Teddy has to be my favourite Nude Lipstick, I need a new one as mine is nearly all gone. Whats your favourite Nude Lipstick? Do I need to try the nude Liquid Lipsticks I was thinking the NYX ones or the Kylie Lip kit ?
