What's Inside My Purse

I switched out my purse yesterday. I took everything out of my blue winter bag, went through all the items, and promptly put (almost) everything right back in my Disney spring and summer bag. Madison suggested I share with you some of the things I keep inside, and because I rely heavily on my firstborn for advice, I am doing just that. I will spare you pictures of the typical purse things...my wallet, my keys, my oversized pack of disinfecting wipes...and focus on the important things: cosmetics!

1. Bath and Body Works Foaming Mousse Hand Sanitizer

I am all about cleanliness. I always keep antibacterial wipes in my bag. However, I find it easier sometimes to grab this and give everyone a quick squirt. My current scent is Winter Candy Apple, so I suppose I need to update that soon!

2. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Translucent Pressed Powder

Madison introduced me to It Cosmetics, and I became an instant fan. This compact powder is perfect because it contains a mirror and a sponge so I can do a quick touch up anytime, anywhere. It is great for pore reduction and hiding those little pesky wrinkles that seem to like me all of a sudden. : )

3. Besame Cosmetics Dusty Rose Lipstick 

This lipstick was a gift from my Madison. She chose it because it is a replica of a popular color the year I was born. This brand specializes in retro makeup, and I love everything about that!

4. Wander Beauty Riviera Lipstick

I really like this shade because it is neutral, and I can use it to touch up any color I may be wearing. I am not fond of putting the lipstick I am wearing in my purse because I always forget to remove it. I then end up with ten tubes of lipstick in my bag and none in my drawer. Truth.

5. Seraphine Botanicals Creamy Raisin + Cream Lip Stain

This is a fun little lip color that I like because it moisturizes and adds a little bit of color for the times I just need a quick pop. It is also vegan and cruelty free, so that's a plus!

6. Tiny plastic hair clip from Walmart

Keeping it real here, my friends. I like to keep a cheap little jaw clip in my bag for all the times when I leave the house with my hair on point, only to find later that it has become a hot mess. I learned this trick from Madison, after borrowing one from her more times than I wish to count.

There you are, my friends.

A little peek into what I have in my bag.

Not pictured: Ice Breaker Mints. Always.

Tissues. Unused. And a bunch of crinkled ones that I think are unused.

My favorite pen...Pilot G.

And a solar calculator I have had since I used it to do grades for my second grade classroom.

In 1996.

Care to share some of your must haves?

I'd love to know!
