BAG ESSENTIALS FOR A WEEKEND AWAY


This weekend, I am heading off to Dorset for the weekend to celebrate my Brother's 18th birthday. I thought that as it is not long until holiday season, this post could prove to be quite handy for those of you wanting some help with packing your bags! I always have a long think and write a list of things to take, before packing...I am a nightmare! 

As I didn't want to include clothes and different outfits, and also to keep it short, I have decided to only use what I would take in my carry bag of essential holiday things. Other wise, we would be here forever! 

I began with the first thing that I always pack, which is makeup! In my opinion, it is the easiest thing to collect and there's no questioning about whether to take it or not. I haven't packed all of my favourite products, but a lot of them are in my bag! I have my MAC eye shadow palette with Cranberry, Girlie, Swiss Chocolate and All That Glitters. I also have my Body Shop honey bronzer and Instablur, Rimmel Stay Matte powder and Wake Me Up concealer, Maybelline Big Lash mascara, No7 foundation, MAC Creme Cup, KIKO lipliner in shade 310 and a few makeup brushes. These are just my makeup essentials. 


Along with my makeup in my makeup bag, I also packed my Got 2b salt spray, Nivea micellar cleansing water, a mini travel deodrant, Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs, and my Nivea night cream. I did also pack a few cotton pads to use when removing my makeup.


As I only have 2 months left until my exams start, I have also added a few revision guides and a note pad and pencil case. I will not be doing much while I am away but I think there will be some time in the evening to write a few notes for revision. Every little bit helps.


Finally. I have packed a book - Miranda Hart's biography which is just so funny! I have also brought my purse with some money, some sunglasses, some gum and my iPad! 


Although I have acquired quite a collection of things to take here, there's a few more things I forgot and I am packing tonight. How I forgot some of these things is beyond me! So for extra bits, I am taking my MP3 and earphones, my camera (with its bits), a few hair bands, a hair brush, my watch (and a few bits of jewellery), and hand sanitizer (always comes in handy). Obviously, I am also taking my Doc Martens, a scarf, coat and a few outfits for the weekend. And that is it! If you are going away soon, have fun and I hope this helped! 

What's something that you always take away with you?
