What's in my Bag- Pixie Mood




Last summer I did a What's in My Bag which you can find here, but I got a new handbag for my birthday and so I thought it time for a new What's in My Bag post. My bag is the Steph Copper Lace Cork Bag from Pixie Mood.

Pixie Mood is a Canadian company that sells vegan friendly accessories. You can order off their website here.

I'm totally in love with my new bag and not just because of it's rose gold hardware. It's really well made and cruelty free so I don't have to feel guilty while wearing it. It's large enough to fit everything I would want to carry but not so big that it's a hassle to carry around. I like wearing it cross-body but it also has a sturdy top handle.

I keep my phone in this back zip pocket.
Under the front flap there is pocket decorated with a cork background and a copper lace print. I keep my bus pass and Kleenex's in here.
The inside is lined with purple fabric and has a zipped compartment, (where I keep my makeup/beauty supplies), that separates the inside into two large sections. It also has another zipped pocket against the back.
So what do I keep in my new bag?

From L to R- Zoella Beauty bus pass holder, Flower Beauty Tea Rose Lipstick, Foster Grant Sunglasses, hair elastics and bobby pins, packet of Kleenex, Rose Gold Earbuds, Sephora pocket mirror, Elizabeth and James Nirvana White rollerball, MAC Syrup Lipstick, Relic Wallet (help me find a new one!), E.O.S hand lotion, Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer, My iPhone with a rose gold case from Amazon and my keys with a Blackhawks key-chain.

I have had this wallet forever. I'm currently looking for a new, smaller one. Preferably not leather and with some rose gold. If anyone has any suggestions of brands I would be so grateful.

**Just in case this post sounds too much like an ad, you should know that I am in NO way affiliated with Pixie Mood. I'm just obsessed with my new bag and it's always nice when I can give some love to a Canadian company.

Summer 2016 Favourites




I had to take some time off this summer due to work and travelling but things should be getting back to my normal Monday/Wednesday posts now. 
This summer I've had quite a few favourites because I started a new professional job. I've been doing my makeup everyday unlike during school when I wear quite minimal makeup. 
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum- I loved wearing this foundation all summer, especially for work. It has light coverage and is semi-matte which was nice for the summer months when it's hot outside and it's easy for your skin to get oily, but it's not completely matte so it still gives you a nice natural finish.
MaxFactor Primer- Primer was important in making my foundation last and continue looking good for the 7 hours of work. It also really smoothed out my skin.

Urban Outfitters Nail Polish in Tutu- I've been on a nail polish kick this summer and found a few that I'm totally obsessed with. This gold glitter polish looks beautiful especially with the flecks of purple. It's like my perfect polish. Checkout my Instagram (@makeupbymeggy) to see a picture of it on my nails.
Revlon Nail Polish in 420 Copperglaze Platinum- When I first got this polish, I wore it three weeks in a row. Besides the fact that it's rose gold, it's also long lasting and applies nicely.
Flower Beauty Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color in Tea Rose- This is my perfect nude lipstick. I have fairly pigmented lips so really light nudes look weird on me. But this nude is just the perfect tone for my fair skin. It's also a very comfortable velvety matte. And if you can catch the theme here, the packaging is rose gold.

L.A Girl Pro. Conceal- I had heard a lot about this very inexpensive concealer and I finally picked it up this summer. I got the shade classic ivory which has a pinky undertone making it perfect for concealing and correcting under the eyes. It's also very opaque but extremely blendable. I've been loving it.
Rouge Edition Velvet in 07 Nude-ist- Just for the record, this is in no way a nude. I would almost call it a pinky red but I love it. It's extremely long wearing, even while eating and it's comfortable on the lips. It goes on feeling velvety and smooth but dries completely matte.


What have you been loving this summer?
