lthough I'm constantly changing bags, I thought I would share with you all what bag that I'm currently carrying and the contents of the purse.One thing I loved to do when I was little was go through my moms purse. I always thought it was so fascinating to open all the compartments and see what lovely things she carried with her. I feel that the contents of a woman's purse reveals what sort of person she is.
I didn't take anything out for the sake of this post. This is what I had in my purse when I came home this afternoon.
My Kate Spade Gold Coast Metallic Evangeline in the colour Platinum.
I love the turn lock detail on this bag.
It's absolutely filled to the brim with stuff.
Isn't the lining pretty? It's gold polka dots.
The first thing in my purse that I took out was this small MAC makeup bag that I got from the 2010 holiday collection- A Tartan Tale. It's too thin to put much in it, but I try not to carry too much makeup with me when I carry this bag.
BTW, do you like my nail polish colour? It's China Glaze's Secret Peri-Wink-Le. I love it!
In the MAC makeup bag: Boscia blotting papers in Peppermint. It's limited edition. I heard good things about the original Boscia blotting papers, but I'm not sure if I love it...
The paper is light blue. It's not really showing up that way. It's very thin and it leaves your face refreshed because of the peppermint.
In the MAC makeup bag: Maybelline's Stylish Smokes eyeshadow quad in Natural Smokes. I absolutely love this quad, but I HATE the packaging.
My favourite colour is the first one (top left). It's the most beautiful shimmery taupe. If you don't have this already go out and get it.
In the MAC makeup bag: Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero (black). Everyone raves how great this pencil is, but I find it ok. It doesn't stay on my waterline and I find it too soft. I'm still on the look-out for my HG black eye pencil.
In the MAC makeup bag: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Prim-Rose (668). I picked this up last week and I love the colour. It's a nude-y pink- very similar to MAC's Lazy Day lipstick from the To The Beach Collection. It's also very creamy and moisturizing. Love! I hope this isn't limited edition because the metal part is gold instead of their usual silver.
In the MAC makeup bag: Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Peach Petal (150). I use this lipgloss with a lot of lipsticks. It's one of my favourite glosses. The packaging is very similar to Chanel.
My Aveda Hand Relief cream. I have very dry hands. This hand lotion is ok, but the main reason I carry it with me is because it's small.
My keys. I have a lot of keys. Just last week I was looking for a nice keychain because my keychain keeps snapping open making all my keys fall everywhere. So annoying!
My subway token purse. It's a beautiful Japanese coin purse that my boss gave me for Christmas a long time ago. She's not my boss anymore, but I love this purse. I stuck a Yorkshire Terrier button on the zipper head. I have a Yorkshire Terrier named Rosco.
Yikes! I'm embarrassed to be showing you this, but I have a McDonalds coupon book in my purse.
I've already used one- 2 can dine for $8.98. I don't eat fast food often, but I like to have this in hand just in case.
More coupons and a receipt.
My Prada wallet. I should have taken better care of it. It's so dirty. I tried cleaning it, but nothing works. I need a wallet that's small enough so that when I'm carrying smaller purses it doesn't take lots of room. When I'm carrying my big purses I love having continental wallets.
My card/coupon holder. I got this at an Asian gift store. I carry all my points cards and coupons in here. It keeps it really well organized.
My iPhone earphones. I have to figure out a better way to organize this. It gets so tangled up with everything!
Benefit's Garden of Good & Eva perfume. Again, I carry this with me because it's small. I don't particularly love it, but it still smells nice on days when I need to spritz something on me.
A Bic lighter. Don't worry, I don't smoke! I have this in here because I was at a shoot on Friday where we were shooting aromatherapy candles and I wanted to make sure I had a lighter on hand just in case the photographer didn't have any.
My Lancome Juicy Tubes Smoothie Lip Gloss in Dreamsicle. This is a gorgeous lip gloss that keeps my lips moisturized for a really long time. I use this a lot when I'm not wearing any lipstick. It's a sheer, pale pink colour.
My Dior Creme de Gloss in 231. This is a beautiful nude pink lip gloss with shimmers that looks gorgeous on top of pink or nude lipsticks.
My EOS lip balm. I tried so hard to get this, but I find that it dries out my lips quickly.
Super cute, but I'm more in love with the packaging than anything else...
This is a new addition to my large collection of lip balms- Cake Beauty's limited edition Strawberry Shortcake lip balms. I don't think it's out yet. I got this from my co-worker because we were shooting it last Wednesday.
Here's what it looks like. I haven't used it yet, but it smells divine. Did you know Strawberry Shortcake was my first book?
A butterfly clip and a vintage hair pin.
A Club Monaco gift card. Club Monaco is one of my favourite stores. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law knows this so they keep giving me CM gift cards every time!
A Mexx Kids gift card. This is for my son. I'm waiting for all the spring stuff to come out because everything now is clearance stuff.
My Kate Spade authenticity card.
What it says on the authenticity card. I usually keep these cards for all my designer purses in the little zip pockets.
The last thing in my purse? My iPhone 3. That's my beautiful son on my screen.
My purse empty.
I hope you guys enjoyed this!
