You’ve witnessed the horror that was her purse.* But are you prepared to survive… THE MAKE-UP BAG?
I hope so, because that’s today’s topic.
It’s actually not that terrifying, or even exciting. This is just what I keep in my little travel bag for touch-ups. It DID say bag… if it had asked for all of my make-up, we’d have a longer post on our hands, with foundations and creams and mascara and eyeliner and eyeshadow and LOTS OF FUN THINGS! I don’t do fancy make-up, but I do like having the option. 🙂
- powder
- oil-absorbing sheets
- lip thingers
- dental floss
- meds (including advil)
- emery boards
- lots of hair clips
- tiny tweezers

*Gah, I hate that word!

Haha! I know what you mean. I always have a strange sensation after saying, “Hang on, let me grab my purse.” Like part of me knows that’s an old lady thing. Sometimes I sub it with bag. Sometimes it really is a bag. Maybe if we say it with a British accent it will sound more elegant and hip?

I say “bag.” Or if it’s tiny, perhaps “wallet on a string.”
Purse isn’t as bad for me as “womb,” but it’s right up there on the words-I hate list!
Also: nonchalant. Just added that one.

Now I’m curious as to whether adding the -ly makes the word better or worse. Nonchalantly. Okay, how did that sound?

Nope, still no good. 🙂

Also, is chalant a word?

Beats what I have in mine, which includes a nub of lipstick and some petrified gum.
