5 Products I ALWAYS have in my bag!

Just like most women, I take my bag everywhere, even if it isn't really needed!  Obviously you have the necessary things like your purse, phone and keys... but what about the other stuff?  I carry around 5 other main products, and they are ALWAYS in my bag. None of the products are expensive as I keep my main pricey products at home. Most of you probably keep similar items in your bag, but I thought i'd enlighten you as to what 5 main ones I keep in mine! If you want to know anything about any of the products just leave a comment and I'll reply as soon as I can. ( Once again sorry for the pictures, quality is good, just won't let me rotate them! Hopefully the pictures will sort themselves out for my next post! )

   Number 1: Rimmel Kohl black pencil  
Eyeliner! well its obvious as to why I keep this in my bag. We all know eyeliner never ever stays put. Even these 24 hour, or long lasting ones never actually last! So I keep my Rimmel eyeliner in my bag so I can top up different points in the day. As you can see by the picture I am getting low, so I'm going to have to buy a new one soon!

                                                                         

                                                                                  Number 2: hand cream

Hand cream, another obvious!  The one I keep in my bag is really handy as its quite small so fits nicely rather than a tub. My hands get quite dry throughout the days and so I find it really great to just have that in my bag incase I need to use it. I use to have 'Lush handy guru-gu' but if you know the product you know its a tub and in the past i've had the lid come off in my bag and cause a huge mess! So I had to change to this one now which is amazing! You use to smallest amount and it makes your hands soooo soft! Smells good too, which is an added bonus.

    Number 3: hand sanitiser 

I'm not a germ-free crazy mess at all, but I do like having hand sanitiser in my bag just for them cases where ( to say the obvious ) you go in to a un-hygenic looking place.  I never use to carry hand sanitiser with me at all, but when I was in boots about a month ago they were on deal for £1 so I grabbed one. I really do like having it with me to be honest. And i've had it a month and there is still so much left in it. A little goes a long way. It smells so nice too as I got a scented one... I can't stand the ones which smell like hospitals! So    
mine smells of Grapefruit and Lime! yum!

                                                                            Number 4: Benefit get even no.2

Most women I know carry around a powder in their bags to top themselves up through the day. My chosen one is Benefits Get Even in the shade 02 which is a medium colour. It is a powder to cover blemishes and redness, but I use it all over as a top up during the day and it works perfectly. Once again a little lasts a long time! I've just hit pan on mine this week, and I got it september 2011. So it has lasted so long! This is a product I have always re-purchased once I've ran out. Its on the pricey side for powder considering a Rimmel one is around £6-8. But it lasts so long and comes with a little pad to  use to put the powder on. 

   Number 5: body spray - strawberry or vanilla.
 My last thing I always have in my bag is body spray. I Spray my perfume in a morning which is great and the scent lasts all day, but I like having a body spray to freshen up with half way through the day, or on them hot summer days ( which are very rare in England )  But when they happen its nice to freshen up with. The brand is Natural Collection, which is by Boots, therefore only available in Boots. They are so inexpensive and great! I have the scents Wild Strawberry, which is gorgeous and fruity and also Vanilla Musk.. which I LOVE!  What I love about body sprays is you can spray 4-5 times and it still doesn't look like you've used any of it! They are quite big bottles and last for such a long time which is great. The scents are so strong and are great for them times you run out of perfume to just wear alone! 

John Frieda Full Repair Conditioner!

Recently I've being trying to find a REALLY good hair product to repair my hair to what it was before I began the 'Lilac Hair' process!  So I go in to places such as Boots or Superdrug now and again and buy the sort of " sample" sizes of hair products.  After trying a lot of different shampoo's, serums and conditioners, I finally came across one I LOVE! John Frieda Full Repair conditioner.  This product hasn't been out very long, but I remember reading about it and wanting to try it(just as usual I never got round to buying one). Even after one use I could feel and see a major difference! So after a few goes of it, my hair felt amazing! I will definitely be buying a full size one of these as I'm VERY impressed with the outcome! The small sampler size cost £1.99 which I thought was great considering you get 50ml and only use a small amount each time. If you are someone who dyes your hair a lot or has bleached it previously and your hair feels dry and looks damaged, then i'd really recommend trying this out! If for example you can't afford a full size one quite yet, then get the sampler sized one, even if you don't want to waste your money on the product in case you think it won't work, then the sampler sized ones are really handy! My hair now is sooooo soft and thankfully just looks healthy again, and because of that, it styles so much easier and I don't have hair snapping off every time I brush my hair. You can either use it as a brief conditioner or do what I do and use it as the " Intense Condition " and leave it for 5 minutes!   The photos of it are below! ( Really sorry they're bad quality, my proper camera had a flat battery so I had to use my phone! )
