What's In My Sleepover Bag

Hello everyone! Bit of a random post today, I was packing for a sleepover and thought some of you might want to see what I take with me to a sleepover, I know how common and loved "what's in my handbags/carry on bags/etc" are but I scarcely see what people take in an overnight bag.

The bag I use for sleepovers is from Kenneth Cole, it was from last season and so I don't think you'll be able to find this exact one anymore but here is a similar style from the same brand. It was quite expensive but worth it I think, as I definitely use it a lot.

I of course bring pyjamas and clothes for the next day. I often bring a hoodie in case I get a bit cold. I always take a bottle of water with me pretty much everywhere I go.The deodorant I'm currently using is one from Nivea and I also bring a mini Ted Baker body spray. I also have my toothbrush and hair brush.

For skincare, I guess it depends on the occasion (ie if I'm staying at a friend's after a party or an event, it would differ greatly from if I were staying at a friends just for a night in with friends y'know?) but this time I'm just bringing my Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream and my Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser. I also bring a small amount of makeup and a few makeup brushes in my Real Techniques brush roll (which I'll do a separate post on) and my makeup bag also has some hair ties and bracelets in it.

I usually bring a movie or a TV series with me in case we want to watch something - this time I chose a series of Modern Family.

And that is everything in my sleepover bag! Hope you enjoyed xo

What's In My Bag?

The bag I'm using currently was from TK Maxx and I think it was about £20. It's quite small but has about six different compartments so it's really good to keep everything organised. I absolutely love the colour of the bag.

The contents of my bag really aren't very interesting, in the main pocket I have my purse (which was a gift from a friend), my iPod (which is the newest Nano), my sunglasses which I think were from H&M and my camera. I also usually have my phone in here too.

In the other sections I have my Joules body lotion which I use as hand cream, it smells amazing. I have a lip balm, a mascara from Maybelline and a lipstick from Rimmel. And lastly I just have a few hairbands and a pen.

February 2014 Favourites

Despite having my blog since September I've only ever done one favourites post so today I wanted to expand on that and share with you my February favourites.

Ted Baker Body Spray: this came in a little gift set I got from one of my friends for Christmas. I'm terrible at describing scents but it has rose, sandalwood and raspberry in it but is definitely more floral than it is fruity. I think it's perfect for the springtime.

Topshop Lip Balm: I've really just been obsessed with lip balms this month and I definitely have more than I need. This one from Topshop has such nice packaging and smells identical to YSL lipsticks.

Benefit Cream Shadow "r.s.v.p.": I really love cream eyeshadows and this shimmery champagne coloured one from Benefit has been one of my most used recently. It's really pigmented and lasts all day, it can be used as a base for powder eyeshadow but I think it looks just as pretty on its own!

Maybelline Baby Lips "Cherry Me": continuing with my lip balm obsession, I have worn this shade of Baby Lips almost everyday this past week. I'm sure you've all heard so much about these but they definitely deserve the hype.

Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion: I got this mini size in a set which I got for Christmas but this has been the standout product to me. It's really lightweight and smells really nice but not overpowering. It also contains coconut oils which are amazing for your skin. I'm definitely considering buying the full size when this runs out.

Clean & Clear Morning Energy Skin Brightening Daily Facial Moisturiser: this has been my favourite moisturiser for months now but I'd never mentioned it on my blog before so I thought I'd include it now. It has lemon and papaya extracts and after using it for a long time now I can definitely say it has improved my dry skin.
