for this week we're letting you a sneak peek into our, um, purses and these are some of my very essentials i have to pack when i go out
ok just identify them from the mess yourself because there clearly isn't any organisation going on heh, well here i have:
1. my trusty hot pink nike water bottle (affectionately 'bottle-bottle') that i need, always, because it's really really important to drink lots of water (for skin and body and health generally). the capacity of the bottle means that i have lots of yummy boiled water to last me a few hours outside, and the weight also reminds me to drink more to lessen my burden heh.
2. an apple that i try to throw in my bag before leaving the house so i'll have a healthy snack to munch on later in the day. i get hungry easy and i really like apples, it's also just enough to satiate me and keep me happy.
3. sunnies because squinting is not sexy, and neither is getting cataracts.
4. apple-cinammon mints from fisherman's friend. my mints are my cigarettes. i need my mints.
5. wallet you saw in the last post! one of the zippers is still trippy, but whatever, it was 70% off. :D :D
6. cute pouches for my other essentials (read on).
bag – mango; this bag is the perfect size for me, fits my bottle-bottle and a jacket, or a sketchbook and some pencils while i hold my bottle, and also allllll the rest of my "essentials".
bunny pouch – daiso; part of my birthday box from leefee, it's kinda a tradition for us to assemble boxes of useful/useless cute things for the birthday girl. i use this to store my klipsch earphones (not pictured).
7. travel-sized mascara from benefit; i picked this up on impulse to hit some promotion quota at sephora to get free gifts heh. sephora free gifts are the bomdiggity, totally worth topping up $16 for this amazing mascara that i've come to love. the only con is that the mascara wand feels a little too spiky and irritates my lashline when i brush on mascara.
8. blistex lip-balm whose cap i've lost and replaced with the one on a less-loved balm. i don't apply lip-balm diligently but it's definitely useful to carry around just in case my lips get too uncomfortably dry.
9. travel-sized edt from sephora in enigmatic, their 2013 holiday scent, smells like vanilla and a little bit of citrus to me, and i'm totally loving the holo wrapping.
10. lipstick from maybelline in 625 are you red-dy because all girls should own at least 1 red lipstick (and i have several). i bring this or a pink lipstick out for touchups and occasionally both for the bitten-lip effect.
11. pocket-bac hand sani from bath & body works that is fruit punch-flavoured because YUM.
12. strawberry pouch that i forgot where i got it from, could be a gift or from a flea, i can't remember. somehow it was established that my gifts should all be strawberry-related (well, i do like berries very much) and i have at least 5 of its siblings lying somewhere around the house. this pouch is for all my "beauty"-related stuff hehe, (eg. hair ties, eye drops, perfume, under-eye roller, oil blotters).

Bag- H&M, Cardigan- Cotton On, Glasses- Ray-Ban, Wallet- Monki, Lip balm- EOS, Earphones- Klipsch
What I love about bag is how practical yet stylish (errrr...) it is. When I first saw it in the store I immediately knew it had to be mine (despite Candy telling me not to get it). Even after stuffing my camera and a cardigan into it along with the rest of my stuff, it still manages to remain relatively light-weight and compact, which is always a plus.
Now for what is actually in the bag. I always carry around a cardigan with me because I absolutely hate being cold and it is handy for times when I need a force field to protect myself from the world. Bringing my glasses around with me ensures that I won't be left stranded somewhere, unable to see, because my contacts came out for whatever reason (this is actually one of my biggest fears. don't laugh). My lips are perpetually dry even when the humidity in Singapore is close to 100%, so, in order to prevent them from cracking, I have to bring a lip balm around with me. This is my first ever EOS lip balm and honestly, I don't really think it's worth the hype. I keep my earphones in a Dr Martens box I got from Laneway Festival. It's a precaution I decided to take after my last earphones got run over by a car. On the box is an Arctic Monkeys sticker that Candy gave me and I laaaaaaaarve it :)
