I am one of those girls. The kind that keeps everything they could ever 'need' in her purse. As a result of this, my purse is always around 10lbs. Some boys (my brother or boyfriend) will pick it up and marvel at the fact that I carry such a burden every day!
Yes, boys, it's a feat! Respect it!
So today at work while I was being oh-so-productive I realized I wanted to look for a receipt from Walmart (which the haul post is coming for!) But while doing that I realized I really  desperately needed to clean out my purse.

| a small bag that is one of 3 inside my purse. Unnecessary? Yes. Adorable? HELL yes. From Forever 21 | 
And while doing so, I took inventory. Just so you guys are aware of how crazy I am. And how unnecessary I am. It's ridiculous. I fully admit it.
- Three (3) packs of gum- 5 Cobalt (unopened), Extra Polar Ice, Extra Orange Creme Pop
 - Six (6) pens- 3 of these are Disney pens. I am a little obsessed.
 - Four (4) lighters - yet I can NEVER seem to find any. So, I put them in the side pocket. No more digging for lighters, hooray!
 - two (2) unopened contact lenses. I guess it's good to be prepared!
 - two (2) nail polishes- Sinful Colors black on black & NYC Big City Dazzle
 - Deodorant- Secret va va vanilla (My holy grail deodorant, so in love with the scent!)
 - two (2) camera battery chargers
 - two (2) cameras- Fujifilm point & shoot & Kodak underwater point & shoot
 - two (2) pairs of sunglasses- leopard print and floral print
 - travel sized Bath & Body Works antibacterial hand gel gold dust
 - One pack of cigarettes- Camel Turkish Royals (the only cigarettes I will ever smoke)
 - travel sized bottle of Bath & Body Works fragrance mist- secret wonderland
 - Trial sized Neutrogena daily facial cleanser that I thought was hand lotion this whole time
 - two (2) wallets - one for daily use and one for all the cards that are rarely used

As you can see, I keep everything but the kitchen sink. But if you thought that was it, you are wrong. There is more! Yes, more.
I have three smaller bags that I keep inside my purse. As I type that I realize how insane that sounds. 
The one that is packed full is the purple velvet one. The purple doesn't show up in pictures but trust it is a royal purple velvet bag from H&M
 Inside you will find all my 'beauty' contents.

| some jewelry and the purple velvet beauty bag | 
Literally all of my lip products are in this bag. Why?? That is beyond me. Truth be told, I don't even wear lip products every day, and I don't even wear half of these lip products at all! Why do I carry them around daily?? gah!
Also, jewelry. Another thing I don't wear everyday, yet insist on carrying around for no good reason other than they will get lost if I don't.
- Octopus necklace from Merbellas at the Renaissance Festival
 - Leopard print watch from Windsor you can find here
 - pair of gold leopard earrings from Forever 21 you can find here
 - Starfish ring from H&M (pretty much my favorite ring) unfortunately I could not find it online. I saw some similar ones but didn't feel comfortable linking them since I did not know who they belonged to
 - Gold bow ring from Forever 21 you can find here
 - black stone ring from H&M
 - gold anchor necklace from Forever 21
 - black & white rhinestoned leopard ring- I don't remember where I got this but a similar one can be found here
 - the dark spike ring from this set
 - gold key double knuckle ring from Forever 21
 - gold knot dangly earrings from Forever 21
 - Plastic? resin? white rose ring from Forever 21
 
And that's my jewelry. Also stuffed in the same small bag is all of my lip stuff:
- Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo
 - Either Wet n Wild or NYC brand - literally the whole package does not say the brand name on it. Weird! lipstick in Pink Slip
 - Carmex cherry lip balm in the squeeze tube
 - Urban Decay lipstick in sellout
 - Rimmel Stay Glossy in black
 - Revlon Colorstay Overtime in Enduring Iris
 - Covergirl Outlast lipstain in 450 saucy plum
 - Essence Breaking Dawn Pt 2 Collection lipstick in A piece of forever
 - Maybelline Superstay 10 hr stain gloss 170 pleasing plum
 - Covergirl Outlast lipstain in 440 wild berry wink
 - Ulta extreme wear lipstain in 14
 - Maybelline Superstay 24 hour color - this is my holy grail lip product! On & on Orchid
 - Maybelline Superstay 24 hour lipcolor - The sticker fell off of this but this is my holy grail red lip color! I am guessing it is either keep up the flame or endless ruby. Whatever it is, I love it!
 - Urban Decay Pocket rocket lipgloss in Max
 
Other makeup and things in the same pouch:
- E.l.f shimmering facial whip in lilac petal
 - container of safety pins with bobby pins stuffed in, that I forgot were there until I was doing this
 - E.l.f. mineral eyeshadow in royal
 - Covergirl brow and eye pencil in Midnight black
 
As you  can tell, I carry a lot in my purse!

| Might be hard to tell, but it's a clear plastic puch with old-school style 'tattoo' art on it. | 
Are there any other purse hoarders out there like me? When you look through your purse you get uncomfortable with yourself like, why do I have this? I will never need this! Yet you stick it back in anyway...
Please tell me I'm not the only one! ;)
Follow your bliss,
