IN MY BEAUTY BAG #4

It’s been a while since I changed up my in-handbag beauty bag, but now there’s been a huge shift in the temperature an update was seriously needed. 

As you can see the emphasis is on dry lips and dry skin as there is nothing worse than flakey dry lips, a sore looking nose and dull skin. Homeoplasmine (mentioned in yesterday’s post) has been a miracle worker along with two Clinique lip products I’ve been using. Usually these live on my bedside table but they’ve been upgraded to my handbag for the colder months. The Clinique All About Lips is a treatment cream that instantly soothes whilst helping with any unwanted lip wrinkles that may be appearing. The Repairwear Intensive Lip Treatment is more of a traditional lip balm and I like to use this when I’m travelling on the tube as it’s in an easy wind up tube. For my dry hands and elbows I’ve been smothering them with Weleda Skin Food, a natural replenishing cream that uses refreshing essential oils instead of any parabens or preservatives. 

To inject some life into my skin when I’m feeling a bit dull, I carry around my mini Caudalie beauty elixir and this limited edition bottle is particularly cute to take out and spritz. For any quick blemish touch ups I’ve been using my Make Up For Ever Full Cover concealer as it’s easy to dab on with your finger and blends in well with my skin. This time of year I tend to get a few more pesky spots, so this works well to cover them up. 

Finally, aside from hundreds of hair clips, I like to always carry a fragrance and recently I’ve been reaching for my favourite Jo Malone Wild Fig & Cassis.

So what have you been carrying around in your beauty bag?
