What's in my bag?

Since I've been going to a lot of job interviews these past few days, I thought that it will be great to share with you the things that I always bring with me other than my phone. It's very hot where I live and it's important to always look fresh especially since I'm always presenting myself to other people. I hope you will something in this post that will help you as well.

If you are someone like me who like to eat snacks, I suggest that you bring a sanitizer or an alcohol. (It's not fun to have cheese powder on your fingers after eating chips.) In my case, I always bring a bottle of alcohol just because this is what we have and I'm too busy and too frugal to buy a sanitizer. This alcohol is actually for my son but my husband and I forgot to bring it with us the last time we went to visit our son. It's actually good that we did because at least I have something to bring with me whenever I get out of the house. There are times when I'm eating chips and I'm not able to wash my hands afterwards just because I'm riding on a bus so it's always nice to have something to clean your hands with. 

I always bring a mirror with me just so I can check if my makeup still looks okay or if I have to brush my hair.

I always bring a handkerchief with me so I can wipe my face if I'm sweating.

I always remember to bring my favorite brush. You can bring a comb instead if you don't have a lot of space in your bag.

I always bring my wallet not only because I have my money in here but also because this is where I keep my valid IDs. If something happens to me, people won't have a hard time identifying my body. It's not like I want it to happen. It's just that if ever it would happen, I would want my family to have closure and see my face for one last time and also because I want my body to be cremated and for the ashes to spread out onto the sea.

I always bring blotting sheets just because I do have a combo skin. My skin is acne prone. It also have dry patches but is also very oily at the same time. I may not not be able to do something about the acne and dry patches right away but I can be able to wipe away the oil on my face.

I always bring this palette just so I can retouch the blush-on on my cheeks. This is from Avon. I forgot what it's called. My mother gave it to me for my wedding. It used to be attached to another palette of lip sticks and glosses and a mirror but I broke it. I just threw away its other half just because I don't like the color of its lip products anyway. Actually, I should have thrown all of it because I have already had this for two years and the whole set is probably expired now. You probably think that I'm disgusting but I just really can't afford to buy a new all-in-one palette yet because I'm planning to finally get a pair of glasses and a set of contact lenses at the end of this month and I'm going to need money for it (Yey for new glasses and contact lenses!). I'll just write a "Drugstore makeup haul" post once I've already thrown all my expired makeup and have already bought new ones.

Don't forget to bring a bottle of water whenever you leave your house. You have to stay hydrated. I used to have a tumbler but I left it on a bus the last week. This is just the bottle of water that I bought after my interview yesterday.

I always bring my retractable brush for my foundation and my angled brush for my blush on. I find that I always have to retouch my face after only a couple of hours because I always wear light makeup on my face. I can't really go heavy on makeup products because my skin will breakout. I like using oil blotting sheets first before reapplying anything.

I always bring my house key, a few elastic bands to tie my hair with and my compressed powder foundation from elf.

I always bring a fan just for me to avoid sweating while I'm still on my way to wherever it is that I'm going.

I always bring my lipsticks and my lip balm for retouching. I can't say where these two red lipsticks are from because their labels have faded already and I can't remember the names of both brands. They're both almost empty. I'm planning to buy a lip liner from Elf. They have the shade that I have always seen on other people's lips and have always wanted. I'll include it on my "Drugstore makeup haul" post once I've bought it. The lip balm is from Maybelline and you've porbably seen it already along with my brushes on My Lazy Day No Makeup Look Routine.

I have my padlock and keys that I used for my locker during our Safety Of Life At Sea training and a few pieces of my son's Lego collection just because I have no better place to put them.

This is the bag that I use just because it's the only bag that I have that can fit some of the things that I need for my job interview. My sister-in-law gave this to me and I really like it. It's says on its tag that it's from Nine West. I think I should get a bigger bag though where I can fit all my documents because I'm always holding my resume in my hand and it's kind of stressing me. I don't really like carrying too much stuff. It would be better If they can all just be in one bag. I'll probably get one but not soon. I'll update you once I do. Maybe I'll include it in a "What I wore today" post because I've always wanted to write that. Thanks for reading. :)
