What’s In My Bag

Gold Boutique’s Social Media Manager, Lou, takes us through her everyday essentials in this special What’s In My Bag Post.

One of my favourite things to read online are What’s in my Bag posts. They fill me with so much inspiration of what I should be carrying in my bag but also make me cry a little on the inside looking at all the tidy bags that everyone has compared to mine.

So, just for you guys, I had a little Spring Clean of my bag and decided to take a photo of my favourite everyday essentials.. minus the petrol receipts, random straws and empty sweet wrappers!

The most important items that I carry with me at all times is my makeup. From bronzer to Vaseline there is not a day goes by that I don’t leave the house without them.

The products I am currently loving are Sleek’s Matte Me Liquid Lipstick, Sleek Contour palette and Soap and Glory’s Thick & Fast Mascara. Normally during my lunch break, I like to top up my makeup to keep my look fresh for the afternoon.

Another essential is my trusty Vaseline. I must use this around ten times a day to keep my lips feeling smooth and hydrated.

My go to scent has to be Jimmy Choo’s Blossom Perfume. The sweet/floral smell is perfect for the summer evenings and it is a perfume that can be worn all year round.

I always carry a copy of Professional Jeweller Magazine and a notepad. On my breaks, I love to read magazines and this one is the perfect read to learn more about the jewellery industry. Rather than making notes in my iPhone, I like to stick to the old fashion way and make notes in a notebook. I must have around four different notebooks on the go at the minute but this Primark pink and grey tone marble notebook is one of my favourites.

My go to accessories are my trusty pink £1 sunglasses from Primark. They always give me a 70’s vibe whenever I wear them and they are really comfortable too. Normally with cheap sunglasses, they really dig into the bridge of my nose but with these Primark ones, so far I have had no problems. They come in yellow and blue too so you can stock up!

Now to the important stuff, jewellery. I never leave the house without my Butterfly necklace from Gold Boutique. I have seem to have classed it as my very own lucky charm, although I haven’t won the lottery yet!

However, this necklace goes with everything and the sterling silver means that the colour will never fade.

The next product that I am loving is this Gold Boutique Engagement ring. The classy Solitaire Diamond Ring is perfect for any proposal.
