So getting ready to go back to school has been crazy, and summer has flown way too fast. Even though I should of done this blogpost earlier, I am going to show you what's in my mini back to school make up bag. Now I don't wear a lot of makeup to school, and I don't take my foundation and everything to school because I don't need it, but I do have a few things in a makeup bag, so if i need to, I can top up my makeup throughout the day!
So here is my makeup bag, I bought this off Primark because they have a nice range of them and they are super cheap. This one has a leather texture, it's cream and has black polka dots on it.. It was £2.50 or £3, which is a bargain. I picked this one up because it is an ideal size and I liked that is has 2 zips, because it has 2 compartments.

So the first thing I have in my makeup bag is Soap And Glory Hand Food, which is just a small travel size hand moisturizer that I got from Boots for £2.50. It smells amazing and keeps my hands feeling super nice all day long.

The next product is my most definite 'Must Have' that you should all own. It's one of my Baby Lips Lipbalms. I keep the clear one in 'Hydrate' in my makeup bag, because I don't want any colour on my lips, but this is amazing for moisturizing my lips. These are £2.99 and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Next is a new found love for me, it's an eyeshadow pencil/crayon from Collection, and it's amazing. I don't wear heavy eye makeup for school, but I like to have a little bit of colour on my eyelids and these are perfect. I have the light pink one, and it's creamy and makes a difference but it isn't too crazy! They are also super cheap, and they last all day. They are perfect for a natural looking makeup look. They are metallic and not matte, but they just look natural and gorgeous on all eye colours.

Every girl, should have a pressed powder in their makeup bag, especially if they have oily skin. I carry mine because adding a bit of powder half through the day, will keep your makeup looking fresh. I use Barbara Daly pressed powder from Tesco, which is very good but I would also recommend Rimmels Stay Matte Powder.

Also in my makeup bag, I keep one of my mascara's. Recently I have been loving Maybelline's Great Lash mascara. I love it because it has quite a small brush, so your eyes don't look heavy, it isn't clumpy, and it also doesn't smudge. But it's very handy to keep a mascara in your bag, if you have to top it up through the day.

It's also very handy to keep a little purfume or spray in your bag, so you are smelling lovely all day long.
I like to keep a mini Jack Wills Fontwell Scent perfume in my bag, as it smells amazing! And it's really handy because it's a little rollerball perfume, and it's the perfect size to keep in my bag.

For body spray, I like to keep it cheap and simple, so I use Impulse, which is a really nice and cheap brand, that have their sprays in most shops. I love their new scent 'Sweet Smile'. If you're looking for a cheap spray, then go and check out the Impulse range, because they have such a variety of scents.
I just find it really handy to have a spray in your bag, to keep topped up throughout the day.

The next item, I simply can't live without.. A concealer. As a teen girl, concealer will be your best friend, and to me it's essential. It will keep you looking fresh throughout the day and it will cover up any breakouts and correct anything. I have been loving Maybelline's FIT Me concealer, Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer and Miss Sporty's Liquid concealer.

Lastly, I would always keep a compact mirror in my bag. Not to be vein, but to check how you're looking throughout the day.

I haven't included everything, but I have covered the essentials..You could even pop in some little things, such as bobbles and clips.
I hope that this has been helpful, and given you some ideas on what to include in your makeup bag. Sorry that this post has gone up when everyone is already back at school.
