Blogmas: Week 2

What’s in my bag this holiday season?

• Chapstick
  • It is a MUST with this cold weather!

• Peppermints/Gum
  • For the stress-inducing situations this busy season brings.

• Earbuds
  • To listen to all my holidays jams

• Lotion
  • Because no one likes ashy hands

• Money
  • To purchase all my holiday gifts for friends & family.

• Hand Sanitizer
  • Specifically, Vanilla Bean Noel by Bath & Body Works

• Extra Earrings
  • You never know when you’re gonna lose an earring or maybe you want to go somewhere, but you need to dress up your outfit first. Just throw on some hoops and get going!

• Cough Drops
  • To soothe my sore throat if I get sick.

• A Beanie
  • It usually starts out on my head, but once I’ve reached my destination inside a cozy, warm building, I no longer need it on my head. So, I just shove it in my bag for later.

• Gloves/Mittens
  • Just like with my beanie, they end up in my bag.

• A Notebook & Pen
  • What’d you expect? I’m a writer , but I do like to change them out depending on the season. Currently, it has a reindeer on the cover.

• Keys/Badge
  • So I can get into the buildings I’m going to

• A Mini Makeup Pouch
  • For touch-ups, you know…
    • As for specifics: a lash curler($1 @ Dollar Tree), L’Oreal Lash Paradise mascara(waterproof) in shade, blackest black ($10 @ Walmart), Believe Beauty eyeliner in shade, Caviar ($4 @ Dollar General.. this product is Jeffree Star approved ), Maybelline BrowDrama sculpting brow gel in shade, deep brown ($8 @ Walmart), a mini nude palette ($5 @ Walmart), Maybelline Fit Me foundation (matte + poreless) in shade, 332/Golden Caramel ($7 @ Walmart), a beauty blender($1 @ Dollar Tree), a couple E.L.F. brushes, a couple lip products, and a handheld mirror.

** Does anyone have any good recommendations for blush? Preferably one that’s affordable and very pink 😉 Comment below!

• Perfume
  • Right now, I am using Snowflakes & Cashmere by Bath & Body Works. I really like it because it’s a nice holiday scent, and it’s also travel size, so it fits perfectly in my bag.

• BOBBY PINS
  • I am very picky about my bobby pins, especially with all my hair. I use Modesa 2.75in., and I can ONLY find them at Family Dollar. They’re cheap, only costing a $1 for 50, but I can NEVER find them. They are underrated, but hands down, the BEST bobby pins.

• Scrunchie(s)
  • Okay, before you start calling me a VSCO girl (sksksk), I have been using scrunchies since I could put my hair up— so a LONG time. I only use Scunci brand in large black. I also only get the mesh kind, not the cotton fabric ones because those don’t have the good stretchy elastic. BUT, I can only find them at Dollar General now because everyone has jumped on the scrunchie train and only want the pretty ones. What about us OG scruchie users who need the practical ones with good, long-lasting elasticity, huh??

That’s all! I hope you enjoyed seeing what’s in my bag this holiday szn! See ya next week when blogmas continues!!
