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.

Stay out and we'll live forever

I was a little bit ditzy this morning, i thought id take some quick snaps before braving the snow so there i was clicking away when i went to check the state of the pictures when i realised i hadn't replaced my SD card in the camera!... big waste of time. However, luckily for you, you missed me sporting a shockingly jokerish mouth! i purchased ELF's classy hoping for a dupe of MACs Angel, I'd heard and seen great things but well now I'm very a little sceptical, I've owned Angel but lost it (more than likely amongst my floordrobe!) hence the purchase.

 When i applied Classy i somehow managed a purpley pink hue even after using a lip primer? how others were donning the baby pink colour after using this is beyond me. I quickly replaced the monstrosity with Rimmels Nude Delight a much loved favourite and a swipe of Rimmel Stay Glossy in Non-stop Glamour.

Anyhow, this wasn't supposed to be a review of Classy, proof i can ramble even on a laptop... so on with the OOTD.

Shirt (just seen) - Republic

Cord skinnys - H&M

Wax Jumper - H&M

Faux Fur Coat - New Look

Rings -  Green stoned ring / Market & Button ring / Pepper Pod Designs (Owned by my mother dearest)

Nails - Bio Sculpture Gel / Marshmallow

E.L.F Haul... Well, will be.

Eyes.Lips.Face

I've never used E.L.F products before but judging by the many great reviews there stuff get i thought what the heck and took advantage of the free postage (on orders over £30)

So here are the bits & bobs i ordered yesterday, I'm pretty excited to see what the quality is like seen as the prices are cheap and cheerful!

( I'm sorry about the crappiness of the image quality, technology is not loving me today!)

Let me know if you've tried any of the E.L.F product I've purchased... or anything from there full stop, id love to hear what you think!
