What's in your purse?

Things I carry inside my purse..


These are items that I absolutely must carry inside my bag whenever I leave the house. It's to accommodate all my needs and for things that I might encounter.
It's an utter mess inside but I can always find what I'm looking for, just by feeling around (:
I change purses a lot, depending on the day but my favorite one to carry is probably my Nine West bag because it's so huge and roomy ^^ There are no pockets except for a tiny zipper on a side. So everything just falls inside my purse like a big bottomless pit.

These are items I carry/think everyone should carry too!

1. An case from H20+ with floss, mini band-aid, 3 pieces of dress tape, sanitary pad and mini toothbrush with paste! Items I might use or need in a fashion/beauty emergency (: Come to think of it, I should put Q-tips and cotton pads in there too. And maybe makeup remover.

2. 3 travel sized lotion but I don't like any of them. First one (Marc Jacobs lotion) has SHIMMER in it! Second tube (B&BW) smells like cucumber which I don't really like. The third (Biotherm) has a faint hint of orange which isn't too bad.

3. A/X glasses case.

4. Mirror. Or in my case, half a mirror since my friend accidentally broke it off. It's an Anna Sui imitation compact mirror but I don't mind.. it does the job it's supposed to.

5. Another purse. :D Usually a house for my cell phone and mirror. They live very happily inside my clutch.

6. House keys with a mini toy car attached! Yes the car actually works. No, you cannot play with it.

7. Hair tie and 3 hair pins. Always need to have this! For tying up hair and as a bracelet when I forget accessories ^^

8. Lipfusion plumper, Chapstick and Sephora lipgloss. My lips are always chapped =( So I keep a couple lipbalms in each bag! Favorite brands are SoftLips, Chapstick, Nivea, thebodyshop and burt's bees.

9. Sunglasses for when sunny days or when I just want to look cool (: Or recently, to hide my tears in school. Problem is once I wear them, I don't take them off even if it's dark or indoors.

10. Hair clip.

11. Pack of tissues.

12. Silver Buffalo wallet with a bajillion hidden pockets :D What's inside my wallet is saved for another day.. too much random cards and crap inside to talk about right now.
Change purse made by my mommy ^^ Although I've recently stopped using it as often and just use the change pocket in my wallet.

13. Volunteer identification tag. I wear this on Wednesday and Sunday. Usually I don't bother but the whole city is getting really uptight with having ID because of the Olympics.

14. GUM! I don't carry packs of gum anymore because it disappears in a day b/c of my greedy friends >=o so I carry tiny sample packs. That's an Extra, Trident Splash, Frisk and Camino candy in my bag.

15. Power Protein bar. In case I get hungry! I don't like buying food when I'm out (it's ALWAYS junk food and it's so unhealthy) so I'd munch on a couple of these instead. Everyone's always saying how skinny I am.. and these have 330 calories and 21% fat. They taste like powder though.

16. My banana pencil case that I use for school. No please don't play with it, the peels barely stick on anymore. I know it's amusing and I know it's a giant felt banana case.

17. 2 pears. Not something I always carry but they were handing these out at school today.

Forgot these two. (:

A drink (today it's rock sugar drink with papaya) and mini notepad with paper. You never know if you need to jot something down! In this day and age, most people just use their cell phones to make a note but sometimes it's just better to go old-fashioned. So yeah, I use the pad to keep track of things I need to do, items to buy and directions for places (because I have no idea how to get anywhere). And if you bump into a celebrity, you can quickly whip out your notebook and ask for an autograph ;)

Items I do not carry

1. Headphones! Being the obnoxious prat that I am, I'd rather blast music out of my blackberry than quietly listen to my music in peace ;)

2. Mascara. I don't see why people even bring it in their bags. Once you put it on, it stays on your lashes and doesn't come off until you wash. How could you touch up, I don't understand.

3. Hand sanitizer. When I put it on, my hands just feel sticky and like there's a film over them. They just don't feel clean. I think I'll stick to my soap and water routine.

Feel free to make your own 'What's in your purse' entries. I would be interested to see what everyone else carries! (:
