What’s in my Bag? The Holiday Edition

whats in my handbag

Just a bit of fun: a trawl through the contents of my handbag. Or should I say “holiday bag”; I was on my way to Athens airport, so my bag was full of bits and pieces to see me through the flight. If you’d like to see a little of what I got up to on holiday then please take a look at my beach vlog and if you’re interested in where I stayed, there’s a hotel review here. Favourite stuff from my travel bag? I’d have to say the Lolly Wallet, which was from my friend’s shop, Sisi and May, and also my Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist. It’s like a portable sanctuary, that spray – I used it on the plane because a woman kept coughing and sneezing next to me, and it made me feel slightly less pessimistic about things. (It has no antibacterial properties or anything like that, it’s all completely in my mind! But hey – no cough or cold yet, so maybe it does work some kind of magic. At the very least it makes me quite calm and refreshed – must be the orange flower water.)

Here’s the video – there’s a little bag contents list underneath so you can cross-check anything you like the look of, but I do have to warn you that lots of my bag items have been travelling around with me for nearly a decade! I’m a definite creature of habit when it comes to travel; always a Kindle, always my Louis Vuitton organiser and my pink passport holder…

Ooh! Fuzzy packaging! This is the yet to launch Lipstick Queen take on lilac all wrapped up in a strokable box.

Obviously named for Marie Antoinette’s infamous misquote, it’s certainly adventurous and different.

Poppy King has added in warm gold tones in the form of shimmer to a lilac-nude base – personally, I don’t love the effect because I’m not a shimmer lip fan at all, but I really haven’t seen another lipstick like this.

It’s pretty heavy on the frosting, but you get smatterings of an almost rose gold effect as well on top of the lilac-nude base; kind of intriguing but also, to my mind, a little bit ’80s – no harm in that but I’m not sure how easy it will be to wear. And, I’m gasping a little bit because it’s £35! Hope those sprinkles of glitter are 24K.

Lipstick Queen Let Them Eat Cake launches into SpaceNK in May.
