What's In My Bag - Wedding Edition

The title really should be "What Was In My Bag" as my wedding was the 1st November, however I thought it would still be interesting to share what I decided to tote with me on my day.

I tried not to pack to much makeup (I always seem to carry around far to much 'just in case') and just stuck with the essentials, along with some hair items and other random bits and bobs. The only thing I wish I packed but didn't was super glue - my shoe broke early on at the reception and had to hobble around for the rest of the evening - not cool!

So what was in my bag?

The Essentials

Cedel Coconut Bay Hairspray, Compact mirror, Tissues for obvious reasons, Hollywood tape, A comb which I actually broke the handle off so it's easier to tuck into my bag, cotton buds for touching up my eye makeup, bobby pins, The Body Shop Coconut Hand Cream to avoid ugly dry hands in photos and especially as people want to look at my ring all day, I kept applying this. Smells amazing and hydrates well, e.l.f Shine Eraser Oil Blotting Sheets as it rained on my wedding day (isn't that meant to be good luck?) I didn't have to use these too much as shine mostly stayed away as it wasn't too hot.

Makeup

NARS Contour Blush in Olympia, NARS Lipstick in Cruising one my my all time favourite lipsticks, it hydrates well and gives a subtle pink/nude colour to my lips with a little shine and is super easy to apply, Philosophy Lipgloss in Vanilla Birthday Cake which I didn't use much of as my lipstick was shine enough, Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, Models Prefer Eyeliner in Black, NYX Doll Eye Waterproof Mascara I didn't have to use this, as the mascara my makeup artist used stayed beautifully all day (even through my bouts of happy tears!), MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Powder in Medium Perfect for touch ups and keeping my skin looking flawless all day, Real Techniques Kabuki Brush I chose this brush as it is small, good for powder and also opens up into a fan shape, which is good for use with the NARS contour blush, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Brush I ended up not using this, as it doesn't have a lid so it annoyed me a little on the day - I didn't want lipstick all through my bag.

My makeup was all tucked into my Dior makeup bag, and this along with the rest was packed into my Mimco bag. Easy to tote and small enough for me to hide in the corner at the reception :)

Even though I didn't use everything I packed, I am glad I had it all with me for those 'just in case' occurances! It was a beautiful day, and I'm very lucky to have married the love of my life in such a perfect way (mushy mushy!).
