If you've been keeping up with Molly Mae over the course of her pregnancy, you'll know beauty has been a mainstay in her journey thus far. And, as she prepares to give birth to her first child with boyfriend Tommy Fury, Molly has just made it clear that her beloved products will be close to hand the whole way through.
In a new video posted to YouTube, the influencer revealed the various beauty buys that she has packed in her hospital bag. While she is quick to flag that some may find her choices excessive, Molly makes it clear that these staples and her recent well-known self-care evening routineshave brought her massive comfort over the past nine months, and she suspects they will have the same function during and after the brith of her baby girl.
Cusping her Louis Vuitton toiletries bag, Molly says, 'I have packed toiletries like I am going on a nice holiday, like I'm going on a nice jolly up, but I'm kind of viewing it as that because this is going to be the best trip I ever take.'
'If you've been following me through my pregnancy you will know that toiletries and self-care has been the most important and hugest part of my pregnancy journey for me, so I wasn't going to slack when it came to packing for that side of things. Like, the shower that I take after I give birth to baby girl will be the most important and best and incredible shower that I ever take, so i want it to feel like home,' she adds.
In the bag, Molly has armed herself with only the best, hard-working and fool-proof products that one can call on when in need of a no-fuss, reliable beauty arsenal. In the line up, Molly features hero products from Elemis, The Ordinary, Aesop, Laneige and Mario Badescu, which are all capable of bringing comfort in a wholly new and unpredictable environment.
While she confesses that she's ready for the onslaught of comments regarding her hospital beauty kit, we applaud Molly's efforts. For any self-professed beauty enthusiast, slimming down the contents of one her most important travel bags to the bare beauty basics is no easy feat.
Nonetheless, Molly notes, 'I know its super super excessive. [It's] just the stuff that makes me feel comforted and feel like I'm at home and makes me feel happy. That's why I want to take it with me to give birth.'
And to that we say hear, hear! These are the products you can find in Molly's hospital beauty bag.
