Non-makeup Beauty Bag Essentials

These items have been a non-stop hand reach this past month. Even if you're not a beauty girl, I think most girls carry these few items in their handbag somewhere. I chose my favorites that I found in my pouch that aren't makeup.



A hand lotion is a must. I found this travel-friendly version from Bioderma and it's lovely. Although personally I've been loving and preferring This Works Deep Sleep Dream Cream, I chose the Bioderma because the scent of the Dream Cream is that of natural essential oils, and not everyone really gravitates towards it. I absolutely love the scent, but just in case, I like to carry a more mild scented lotion around, such as the Bioderma Repair Hand cream. They are though, both great for the parched hands!

For lips, I've been endlessly using the Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm. It's by the far the thickest consistency I've ever used. it's a honey content that has little beads that I use to exfoliate my lips. I recently went skiing, and this thick balm totally helped my lips stay in supple condition for the whole day! I love it so much, and it lasts forever because of the thickness of the balm. I also love that it's in a glass pot. It feels so luxurious.

For the people who have anxiety, I recommend This Works Deep Sleep Stress Less rollerball. You can dap it (or roll it) on your pulse points, and you can waft it every now and then. The scent is also similar to their Dream Cream, full of essential oils and herbal scents but it really does help relax and refresh yourself. I like to just sniff it when I feel a little anxious, and it clears your mind in the freshest way!

Finally, I have a pretty scent that I like to carry around. Recently, I have fallen head-over-heels for the Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit fragrance. I have since been trying to get a hold of it, but it seems to be sold out each and every time I am at Sephora. I am hoping to catch a VIB sale soon at the same time this is back in stock so I can purchase it with some discount. On one note though, I do NOT recommend a rollerball. I never quite understand the likes of it. It isn't hygienic at all, and times when you are wearing something and some fuzz of your sweater, say, is on your skin, then as you roll this over that, it'll eat up the fuzz as well. Soon or later, you'll have this liquid perfume full of little fuzzes collected from rolling it on your skin throughout the day. Perhaps you're only supposed to apply this after a shower? But then, what's the point of carrying it around! Anyway, next time I'm getting this, I will purchase it as a spray. But by all means, this is the prettiest, freshest, most feminine smelling stuff ever! It truly is light and clean, fresh and ever so pretty. I don't have anything like it, and I am in absolute love with it.

I sometimes chuck them into my bag carelessly, while other times, I'll put them in my Tory Burch makeup pouch. I, however, usually carry more than these four-- makeup bits of course.

Deep Sleep ZZzzzzz.......

Dreaming of deep sleep? Well, for those who want to sleep like a baby at night let me introduce to you a hopeful answer to y'all! It's This Works Deep Sleep range. A few months ago I made a purchase on This Works website. They were doing a massive sale and I was able to pick up the Deep Sleep balm, pillow mask, and a body cream. The balm and pillow mask came in their really nicely packaged gift set. It has a magnetic closure so it keeps the scent of lavender safe in the box :) The pillow mask you see, is not just a plain pillow mask. It's stuffed with oh so fresh lavenders! Yay!


But THE product I want to rave about here is the balm. Oh.... ma.... loardddddd! The natural balm made of Lavender and Rose essential oils smells so fresh, luxurious, and comforting. It says to apply on pulse points and any dry areas like cuticles or elbows. They say however, NOT to apply on lips. It is the perfect size to carry around or to just leave by your bedside for a quick dab here and there.


As you know (if you've read my blogposts) I've really gotten into aromatherapy. I doubted the whole idea, but really, I could not deny the effects of them! That's what got me to buy this range. When I applied this balm on my pulse points and such, that night.... I truly had one good DEEP sleep. But it was the first use, so I didn't want to jump to conclusions that THIS WORKS.

But then, you know... I have two sisters. As I say, having girls in the house means you've got beauty critics around you at all times :) I asked one of my sister to try it. Lo' and behold! She came the next day and said... THIS WORKS. She confirmed my experience, saying she slept like no other that night. Then, thereafter, we both applied it every night and really the soothing lavender scent is an aromatic lullaby!

The Deep Sleep Dream Cream is also of the same sooth scent. The cream bottle reads "Wrap yourself in a cocoon of soothing essential oils anywhere, anytime." It's a natural fusion of Provencal Lavender, Vetivert and Camomile blended with Crambe and Gold of Pleasure oils (rich in Omega 3). These hydrate and protect your skin. Oh-la-la!

At first, the scent was too herbal for my like. The vertivert is definitely there. The lavender is there as well, but not as sweet or light as I would've liked it. So, after the first use, I had put it away for awhile. The balm on the other hand instantly suited my taste. But after the amazing effects of the balm, I eased back into this cream. I have to say, it really is lovely.

I love the whole This Works brand. The idea is that the products are actually effective. Their "modern natural beauty" is completely reliable. The only downfall is that unless you're in the UK, getting a hold of this can be a bit difficult (shipping price and such). Try their website or BeautyBay!

Again, another essential step in my nighttime ritual :)
