What Else Is In The Bag?

What Else Is In The Bag on vickiarcher.com


Or the basket, in my case.

I’m obsessed with baskets and collect them wherever I go – my latest finds from Marrakech are the cutest and my Comporta babies from last summer are the best.


More importantly, what’s in them?

Following on the skincare edit last week a beauty cabinet would not be complete without make-up essentials and a bag can never go on the road without at least some of these.


I don’t wear a lot of make-up but what I do wear I care that it’s easy, it works and it stays looking good for longer. Here is my current shortlist. xv


Must Haves

Sunscreen primer, concealer and tinted moisturiser every day. Full Stop that’s it.

chantecaille ultra sun protection  ||  purito daily sunscreen  ||  smashbox primer  ||  clé de peau concealer  ||  bobbi brown tinted moisturiser



Sometimes but not always.

chantecaille perfecting loose powder  ||  laura mercier translucent powder  ||  chanel glow stick   ||  westman atelier cheek stick



Pretty much always.

eye whitening kajal   ||  chanel mascara  ||  westman atelier mascara  ||  charlotte tilbury pencil  ||  anastasia brow gel



The non-negotiables.

rouge d’armani matte lipstick  ||  lip maestro matte   ||  escentric molecules  ||  serge lutens fleur d’oranger  ||  chanel le vernis
