First, chose your bag. Use a bag that is just big enough for your needs, but not huge. For me this bag is just right.

This is the makeup I use on a daily basis.

And this is what I carry if I'm doing something right after school and won't have time to go home and spiff up my look.

And this is what I keep in my purse on a normal day. For me acne medication is a must, as are nail clippers. I carry two lip balms, but you MIGHT want mascara OR eyeliner. But just one. REALLY!

If you need lotion do not bring this.....

Bring this instead!

And I use this Modessa mirror, but again it's optional.

I carry just a few ibuprofen and Benadryl but only a FEW!!!

Here is my wallet, I only keep a few bucks in it but enough for the day.

Here are my (I know they're cheap) headphones, but you might want earbuds.

I also keep a few packs of gum (but I really only need one)

If you have or want to carry your tablet and/or phone with you.

Now it's time to start packing your purse!

I use this little packet for my tablet.

This medium sized one for my makeup.

And the big one for my headphones and wallet, plus any miscellaneous stuff I have (I try not to but........)

And that is how I pack my purse! Again you can change this to fit your needs.
