Necessities: What you’ll find in our editors’ handbags

Yu Mei Scrunchie Vi in ‘Day Blue’, $619.

With a short ‘scunchie’ handle and a longer one, this works perfectly as a clutch or a cross body.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, $118, from Smith & Caughey’s.

For me this foundation is light and easy to apply. It melts into the skin providing coverage but also lets your skin shine through.

Kosas Revealer concealer, $54, from Mecca.

A light concealer that you can easily reapply throughout the day. 

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in ‘Pillow Talk’, $59, from Mecca.

Just my absolute favourite lipstick at the moment. I wear it most days, and currently am using a darker liner to accentuate the lip line. 

Montblanc Notebook #146, $120.

I would be lost without my Montblanc notebook to write down notes. Because it’s bright green it’s easy to find in the depth of a big bag, but equally brightens up any desk.

Mother Earth Roasted and Salted Cashews.

If I have a big day I’ll often take some cashews with me when I need an on-the-go snack. 

The Virtue Holy Smoke Parfum 10ml, $69.

The Virtues Holy Smoke (10ml) this pint sized pick fits in any bag/pocket. I adore the rich cinnamon bark, clove and tonka bean mix. 

Bottega Veneta Sunglasses, $715, from Superette.

I wear my Bottega Veneta sunglasses most days – so I wouldn’t go to Fashion Week without them. They’re the kind of choice that seem to go with everything… 

July Power Bank.

I used various iterations of a charging bank over the years and most barely charge your phone – however upon a top influencer-backed recommendation I’m ordering the July one asap. Let’s just hope it arrives in time…
