What’s In Our Bag This Season, Skincare Meets Street Style

If you live in Queensland, you know your handbag isn’t just for your phone and wallet. Between the heat, humidity, and last-minute beach plans, it’s basically your mobile glow-up kit. We’re talking skincare, wellness, and a few style must-haves that help us feel fresh, put together, and protected from the sun (because SPF is a full-time job here).

Let’s take a peek at what we’re actually carrying around this season.

SPF, Always ☀

SPF is non-negotiable. Our faves? Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Face Mist because it’s light, easy to top up over makeup, and actually feels nice on your skin. We’re also into Ultra Violette’s Queen Screen for that glowy finish that makes you look like you’ve had more sleep than you actually have. Trust, your future skin will be grateful.

A Face Mist Reset ☔

A good face mist is a lifesaver when you’re dealing with air con, sun, or just a midday slump. A quick spritz of something hydrating brings your skin back to life. Avene’s Thermal Spring Water is a go-to, or the Go-To Prep Step if you’re feeling a little boujee. Both give that fresh skin feel with zero fuss.

Lip Products That Do More 💋

Lip products that double as blush? Say less. We always keep something like a Lanolips tinted balm or a Nude by Nature gloss stick in our bag. Hydrating, flattering, and easy enough to swipe on in the car mirror. Plus, you can dab a bit on your cheeks if you’re running low on time (or energy).

Hair Helpers 💇‍♀️

Hair clip or scrunchie — essential. You never know when the heat’s going to sneak up and turn your blowout into a frizz fest. We always carry a cute claw clip or soft scrunchie to throw our hair up and still look like we made an effort. Bonus if it matches the outfit.

Statement Sunnies 😎

A solid pair of sunnies basically does all the heavy lifting when it comes to looking stylish with minimal effort. We’re loving anything oversized or angular this season. Queensland sun is no joke, so we go for UV protection with a little edge. Le Specs and Reality Eyewear are both solid Aussie picks that don’t cost a fortune.

Ella Vari Essentials 🌟

Of course, there’s always something Ella Vari in our bag. Whether it’s a supplement stash, a new product sample, or that matching set we threw on this morning, it’s part of our daily vibe. Effortless style and wellness go hand in hand, and we’re all about both.

Water, But Make It Cute! 🌊

Last but not least, the water bottle. Not just any bottle — a cute one you actually want to carry around. We’re loving Frank Green and Made by Fressko right now. They keep your water cold, look great in your gym bag or on your desk, and are a solid reminder to drink more water (even when you’re running around all day).

So yeah, what’s in our bag? A little bit of glow, a little bit of style, and a whole lot of “we’ve got this.”
