What's In My Purse? ♡

Hello lovelies ♡,

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!

Today, I'm excited to show you guys a post that I wanted to do for the longest time, which is the famous and popular, "What's in my purse/bag?" post. I've  been dying to do this post for a while now, since the topic is what drew me into the beauty community of Youtube and got me interested in reading other people's blogs. 

And due to my neverending curious and nosey nature, I always enjoy reading what kind of items people carry in their purses...I'm weird in that sense, haha. ｡◕‿◕｡So, I thought to myself, why not share what I have in my purse as well, for other curious people like me?

I just wanted to point out that the items you see are the items that I generally carry, if I go out. If I went to school or the gym, you would see the same items, but, with additional things.

As a fair warning, this post will be picture-heavy. I will also be going through the items that I have in my purse and give description to it, instead of just listing the items, (it's a preference thing).  Also, if you have read my previous posts, primarily due to habit and enjoyment, you can be sure and guarantee it will be long as well.

(But, first some closeups.)

(The purse, itself)

The very thing that drew me to this purse (besides the colour, haha), was the fact it had a huge bow on the front  (^‿^✿). I got this purse from one of my all time favourite stores, Ross Dress for Less, when I was in San Francisco around May of last year with family.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember what brand this purse is from because I threw the tag away a while ago. Weirdly, there is no label inside the purse as well. I do, however, remember that it was made from a small independent company as I looked up the purse brand/company before I threw the tag away.

► I have to point out that I don't use this purse daily. In fact, I don't have a regular purse that I use at all, because I change my purses in order to match with my outfit. ◄

What the purse looks like with the flap off.

Inside view.

So the pattern inside the purse is black and white stripes going in the vertical direction, which is different, from what I was expecting, when I opened up the purse.

The purse itself has two zippers inside, one at the back, that can carry small items and one in the middle which serves a long pouch and a divider for the front and back space of the purse.

A thing that bugs me about the purse, is that from the outside, it looks very roomy, but it's really not. I can generally fit the items I carry usually, but when it comes to school supplies, notebooks & textbooks, I cannot carry that many things, and it becomes very bulky.
((╬ಠิ﹏ಠิ))

(Electronics)

So the electronic items that I mainly carry with me are my Samsung S2 phone, pink 3ds XL & my plain iPod headphones. I have to say my phone has been pretty loyal, despite me throwing it around my purse, ._. as it hasn't completely broke, yet. I have my phone for obvious communication reasons and it also serves as my music player and backup camera if I don't bring my own camera out.

I also bring my pink 3ds XL out with me, so I can streetpass other ds players and if I get bored travelling on the bus, I whip it out to kill time. I mostly play Super Smash Bros at the moment!

Closeup and angled.

(Essentials)

 I call these items my "essentials" due to the fact that if I truly only needed a minimum of items, it would be these and my phone. For obvious reasons, I need my wallet to pay for things, but as well it also carries my ID cards. I got my mirror from Forever 21 (the design was so cute), but I have my mirror with me just to check if I look presentable

The perfume you see there is Dior's J'adore perfume, which I absolutely adore, (bad pun intended) (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و, I have it with me so if I can dab it on myself to smell nice, and it's needed especially after I head to the gym. And finally, my hand sanitizer will always be tucked in my purse because I'm really paranoid if I touch hand railings in the public or buttons from machines, etc. so when I put this on, I don't feel as bad.

Closeup, sanitizer is from Bath and Body Works, while the mirror is from Forever 21. 

I'm well aware of how badly used and beat up my wallet is....since I did have it for a few years now (and a friend of mine likes to point it out). But it still functions well and properly, so I don't think I'm going to buy a new one for a while. If you were wondering where it's from, I got it from Fossil

The design of the mirror is so cute and girly.

(Makeup)

If I have time to put makeup on when I go out, the only items that is related to beauty products would be my two lip balms you see on the right, which is from Blistex and Eos. I also carry backup hair ties and bobby pins, just in case my hair gets in the way.

However, if I don't have time to put on makeup, these are the makeup products that I usually carry:

By going clockwise direction, the makeup products I carry with me are:

1. Colour Whisper Lip Butter in "Bare to be Bold"

2. L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

3. Sephora's Vip Pass Eyeshadow Palette

4. Sephora's Eyelash Curler

5. Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Eyeliner

6. Joe's Fresh Eyebrow Pencil in Ash Brown 

✿ I highly recommend the liquid eyeliner, it's bold, precise and best of all it's cheap!!! Oh and if you're wondering where I got the makeup case, of course, it's from Daiso.✿

(Mints)

I like gum and mints, which is why you'll always find them in my purse, plus, just in case if I eat something that has a strong smell, such as fish, it will keep my breath smelling nice. I don't have a favourite brand of gum, but I highly recommend the Starbucks after coffee mints, they are really strong, but at least it keeps your breath fresh and minty smelling.

(Organization)

When it comes to organizing anything for me, I'm the worse. I can admit that I am a disorganized person, This year, I've been trying to break that bad habit, so I've been using this planner schedule to help me keep in track of what I need to do, so it's with me in my purse all the time. I got this schedule, believe it or not, at a dollar store from Surrey's Guildford Mall and heh, surprisingly the pen I carry is not pink, but blue.

Due to the fact that I have multiple midterms in the upcoming week, I don't believe I can do another post in February, ._. which sucks, because I already planned what I was going to do. However, I will try my best to squeeze in one more post for this month.

And because I'm a nosey bugger xD I would love to see/read your guys "What's in my bag/purse?" post, link it below in the comment section, or if you haven't done it yet, then I tag you guys to do so!

And also:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Thanks for reading,
