And the "What's In Your Handbag" WINNER is:

Thanks everyone for adding your comments and emailing me for a chance to win this contest. Anything that you carry in your bag is essential to you. I just thought it would be fun to find out what other ladies besides myself found mandatory to have in their bags.

I would like to announce "Life On Print" as our winner! If you haven't seen her comment, it was the most detailed list I have seen, LOL. I actually chuckled at the ziplock bag, just in case comment. I even took notes and decided I needed to have a few of those items in my bag as well. "Life On Print" will be receiving a Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss, Maybelline Colossal mascara and an absolutely needed Tide To Go pen. Please email me with your information so that I can get your items out to you, candycoatedbags@gmail.com.

Thanks again for entering everyone, and stay tuned for the next contest!

What's In Your Handbag?

Hey Everyone!



Carrying a handbag is like second nature to most women. It's almost like we feel naked without one, or at least that's how I feel. More importantly its what we carry inside the bag that is of most importance, besides the candy coated beauty of the bag on the outside :).



So what's in your bag this week? I checked with a few people via twitter: lipgloss/lip balm and mascara seemed to win hands down as the staple must have's in your everyday handbag. I agree, when I switch bags I make sure I keep my lip gloss and mascara always within reach. One item that I thought was a good one was a Tide To Go Pen, courtesy of Nichelle Pace, Chief Fashionista of STYLEMOM.
