What's in my Holiday Handbag?

I just got back from holiday a couple days ago, and I'm starting to hit the holiday blues... *sigh*

 
So to cheer myself up, I thought I'd write a bit of a holiday themed blogpost. You ready? Here's my holiday handbag!
 
 
I love love LOVE this handbag. It's only £16 I think from New Look, and it's pretty much the perfect dimensions for me. I carry a lot of stuff around with me on a daily basis, so this was a nice smaller size that would force me to cut down a bit, whilst still allowing me to carry lots. The strap's a nice length, and I can wear it either on one shoulder or across my body depending what I'm doing.
 
 
So what's in it? Well first of all water, I get pretty dehydrated fairly easily, so with the hot water I quickly discovered how essential it was! Soltan Once suncream, probably one of the best I've tried as it doesn't feel tacky on my skin, lasts whilst swimming, and isn't clear (if it's clear, how do I know I've got everywhere?). I also carried around Soap and Glory's Hand Food, because I get dry hands, but ended up using it only a couple of times. I've got a Rimmel London Vinel Gloss, in a lovely neutral "you're lips but better" colour too. It's running out and can't find a name on it! Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream, my lips often dried out in the heat, so this was great! I brought Lemsip because I sometimes get colds in the heat, is that wierd? Then we get a pack of tissues and some Dettol Hand Sanitiser, because when travelling you can't always guarantee toilets with toilet paper and soap! My sunglasses are from New Look, and I keep them in a case I got with another pair from Dorothy Perkins. Last of all, keys for obvious reasons.
 
What did you take around with you on holiday?
