What's in my Bag for a Night Out?

Happy Sunday evening! Tonight I have a fun little post providing a checklist of essentials every girl needs for a night out. While I don't go out very often anymore, I ALWAYS find that whenever I do I forget something absolutely essential! So here's a little bag spill flatlay and a list of my favourite beauty products and accessories so that you too don't forget something super essential on a big night out!

1. A pretty clutch - like this one from The Daily Edited. I'm so obsessed with this brand and love that you get your initials embossed onto any of their products!

2. Lash curler & an amazing mascara - currently this Caution mascara from Hourglass is my favourite! Available here from Mecca Maxima.

3. Lipstick - especially for touch ups as you drink through all those cocktails over the night!

4. A portable comb or brush - no one likes their hair becoming a bird's nest. This one is from Seed Heritage.

5. Hair accessories to put hair up - VERY essential in my experience. You never know when you or your friend might need their hair swept up in an instant! I am obsessed with this scrunchie and hair clip from Scrunchies Australia. So practical, yet so cute!

6. Blush for a pretty pop of colour - like this one called Chilli Mango from Fenty Beauty. Available here from Sephora.

7. Bronzer - so you can fake beautiful sunkissed skin. My favourite at the moment is the Hourglass Ambient lighting one in Luminous Bronze Light. Available here from Mecca Maxima.

8. Glittery eyeshadow - and these ones from Stila are SO EASY to apply! This shade is called Bronzed Bell. Also available here from Mecca Maxima.

9. Some stylish earrings - a must to finish off your look.

10. And finally your phone and cards! Obviously.

Hoping you guys enjoyed this cute little post! What else would you add to your night out beauty essentials checklist?

April Beauty Haul

Hope you have all had a great week! Mine has been super busy with two uni exams and an assignment due, but I’m super happy I still had time to put this post together. I’ve never done a haul post but I love watching other bloggers haul videos on youtube and reading them on their blogs so I hope you too enjoy!

1. Simple Moisturising Facial Wash
I couldn’t find my regular face wash by dove on the shelf in the supermarket this week so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to try something new, and this Simple face wash did not disappoint. It’s really moisturising and calming to my skin while also refreshing it and I would definitely recommend it! Also a bit cheaper than my previous face wash which is always a bonus.

2. Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry
I’m sure many of you already take advantage of the wonders of dry shampoo but this month was my first time trying it, and I love it! It smells amazing and it’s a lifesaver in between washes! A must have!

3. Freeman Avocado and Oatmeal Clay Mask
Okay, so I bought this a few months ago but I have run out hence it will be part of my beauty purchases in April but this stuff is absolutely amazing! Probably my favourite face product, it tightens my pores and my face feels super soft every week after I use it!

4. Cleansing Beauty Wipes
I don’t use wipes too often but my sister started using these cheaper generic ones from K-mart and they are just as good, if not better than branded face wipes, definitely a win!

5. Rimmel Colour Rush Colour Balm in Make Me Blush
This beauty product was also inspired by sister and this product is perfect for daily wear when you want something in between a lipstick and lip balm and I love the colour!

6. Mac Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo
This was my biggest splurge in the beauty department this month, but 100% worth it. I’ve never come across such a bold coloured lipstick. I bought it from Myer in Sydney and can’t wait to attend some fancy events to wear it out! You can check out my trip to Sydney here.

7. L’oreal Infallible Eyeshadows in With a Twist/Blinged and Brilliant
I already had another one of these eyeshadows in a different colour that I absolutely loved, so when I saw a buy on get one free on these how could I resist? These eyeshadows are super pigmented and stay put for the entire day. I can’t wait to try out the violet coloured one!

8. Maybelline Palette in Twilight Rays
Another bargain buy. I haven’t yet tried any shadows from this palette but arn’t the colours beautiful?!
Will you try any of these products? What items have you splurged on this month? Let me know in the comments below!
