What's in my university bag?

Here is a bit of a different post, I have been watching the 'whats in my bag' videos on youtube and I thought I would give it a go - mine isn't going to be that interesting I don't think but I really wanted to show my bag! 

Here is my bag! It is from Zara, I bought it last year in the summer and I LOVE it! The colour is a gorgeous dove grey and the bag has pretty rose gold hardware. The bag is really quite big and it holds a lot. The only problem I have with this bag is that it isn't structured so you have to push and pull it to get it into a decent shape. 

1. I have this Clinique bag that I received with an online order and in it I just keep my tissues, female items (awkward), hair grips and bobbles. 

2. An old FCUK zip up bag that I keep sample of fragrance, foundation, moisturiser, lip balm etc - just in case (yes, I know I'm paranoid and I over pack). 

3. My cute umbrella from dotcomgiftshop. It was only £1.99, bargain! 

4. My Cath Kidston Purse, I bought it from Asos when they had a 20%off for students - one of the only perks of being a university student really!

5. Pink filofax, my first filofax. I bought it from amazon a few months ago on sale, it should have been around £28 but it was £14. 

6. I don't really go any where without my hand creams, I usually have this Soap and Glory hand food in my bag - even though I love the L'Occitane hand creams but they are really expensive whereas the S&G one is very cheap!

7. My pencil case, of sorts - it is a Biotherm makeup bag but I use it for pens, highlighters, page markers. 

8. Finally my cute strawberry which when opened turns into a fabric bag! I bought it in Corsica for around €5.

A week in photographs #8

Sale Topshop jacket // Had to go back // Day out  

Dotcomgiftshop order // the worst face mask ever? // Shu uemura eyelash curler

Latte // Rochdale town hall // Pinterest

Another week, another weekly round up of photographs - I can't believe how fast the weeks seem to be passing! Anyway, my week has consisted of sale finds, face masks, university work (again, its never ending!), lattes and pinterest (I know, what an exciting life I lead!). So I have finally finished two of my university essays this week, just three more to go and my dissertation then I will have finished. To get me through the mountain of essays and journal articles I have been loading up on the Nestle latte machiato instant coffee which I adore! 

Aside from the uni work I have been testing out some of the beauty products that have been lying around my room - firstly the I love...Strawberries Face Mask. I received this face mask in a beauty box and I tried it at the end of last week (last Sunday I think) and it made my skin come out in a horrible red blotchy rash of some sort! I will have to make a blog post or review about that mask as it is just horrible, if you have sensitive skin I would stay clear of the I Love...Strawberries face mask. On a more positive note I have also been testing out my new Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler - I haven't stopped using it since I bought it and I LOVE IT! Also, no surprises here, but I have been loving Pinterest again this week (the cute dog photograph above is from Pinterest). 

Lastly, I bought a gorgeous jacket from Topshop and it arrived a couple of days ago. It is fake leather/fur and it is just amazing. I bought it in a UK size 6 which is the size of my Topshop parka but this jacket is too small for me so I have had to send it back. 

I hope everyone had a great week! x
