What's in my hospital bag?

Following my post on What's in my baby's hospital bag i thought it was only right for the next one to be What's in MY hospital bag... It's not as cute and filled with a lot more of those 'less than glamorous' products but i hope it helps you decide what to bring if you too are packing your hospital bag.

I'm a lot more organized second time round and i do think its down to all the helpful blog posts and you tube videos. With my first pregnancy i packed the basics and i mean the basics,  I must say i have packed a few bits that some may think are vain or superficial (straightners/makeup) but im packing these with the intent that they will make me feel and look more human! I want to be able to look back at the pictures this time round and not cringe! So, each to their own.. why not do all you can to make yourself feel better, after-all you've just given birth and thats possibly the hardest thing to do!

I've packed 3.. ok 4 nighties/nightshirts to be on the safe side - Maternity Pads - Mini Straighteners (i'm determined to not have an afro this time round) - Hair Brush/Tangle Teezer - Plastic Bags (again, for any dirty clothes) - Hospital Notes - Slippers - Going Home Clothes (Maternity leggings, vest top, shirt & Converse) - Only a hundred pairs of underwear(!) - Socks - Toiletries & Cosmetics (below) - Oh and on top of all of this i somehow need to squish a towel in there... hmmm wish me luck!

lets face it, it aint pretty

Benefit 'its potent' Eye Cream - Real Techniques Mini Brush Trio - Origins Vitazing - ELF blush 'Shy' - Benefit High Beam Highlighter - Le Volume De Chanel Mascara - Benefit Fake-Up Concealer - Nars Oil Makeup Remover - Carmex Original Lip Balm - Benefit BrowZing - Cotton Wool Pads - Hair Bobbles - Hair Grips

Toothbrush - Toothpaste - Wash Cloth - Boots Anitbacterial Wipes - Feminine Products (Femfresh Wash, Wipes and lots of sanitary pads!) - Body Wash - Dove Deodorant - Palmers Cocoa Butter - Garnier Micellar Water (dispensed) - Soap & Glory Hand Food - Soap & Glory Hand Maid - Batiste Dry Shampoo 'Blush' Hope this post was helpful/interesting!

 Let me know if you have any tips or suggestions for what to pack in your hospital bag.

A quick pick

During my lunch i made a quick dash into Topshop to evade the rain, in there i spotted these...

Black oversize seventies style plastic frame sunglasses with metal temple detail.
These came with a simple but cute polka dot fabric case. £16.00

I've just returned from Tenerife so I’m still in holiday mode, plus I’m planning another so if i don’t get they rays in good old England I’m sure I’ll capture them elsewhere

And…

Set of Three Moisturising Lip Polishes £14.00
Set containing three full size shades of lip polish for shiny, moisturising colour in shades of brown. Contains Iced Coffee, Coral and Truffle.

I've been wearing iced coffee at work as its pretty subtle, close to a nude shade next to my natural lip colouring. Coral, Iced Coffee and Truffle

I think the Coral would have suited perfectly on holiday (but i'll still be sporting it at the weekend) and the Truffle with its speckls of gold is a sure hit for the nights out.

Have you ever tried Topshops range of cosmetics, what do you thinks worth trying?
