What's in your handbag?

Or, more to the point, what do you aim to keep in your handbag so you have what you need and it's not too heavy?
And how do you organise it?

Purse
Mefanamic acid
Keys

That’s about it, maybe a hair band. I’m very minimalist. I hate carting round a handbag, I’d rather shove my purse, phone, keys in a pocket if possible.

Phone, keys, purse, work ID badge and fob, my car key, mask, hand gel, hand cream, touch up make up set in a little bag, when I'm working I also shove my Macbook Air in there! Not sure how my shoulder hasn't broken yet...

In the front pocket I have my planner and a green, a blue and a red pen (I write down my incomings and outgoings in green & red and any appointments etc in blue).

In the main pocket I have my purse, which also holds my comb and a small multitool which I use to tighten up the screws on my glasses. I also have my inhaler, tampon bag, sewing kit and eye drops in there.

In the little pocket inside the main but I keep my phone.

In the zippy pocket at the back I keep a folded up shopping bag.

My keys get slung in anywhere.

I try to keep it empty and clear of crap I don't need because it weighs a tonne as it is but there are always loads of receipts at the bottom no matter how often I get rid of them!

It's my dream to be able to carry a small bag, but as I'm often up and out at 5 am and not home till midnight if I'm socialising after work I tend to carry everything I could possibly need at all times.

I have a small make up bag in which I keep stuff so it's not floating around in my bigger bag, so:
Headphones
Tissues
Mints
Hand sanitiser
Glasses wipes
Mask
Lipsalve
Ibuprofen

A make up bag with concealer, lipstick, eyebrow pencil, perfume and powder in case I'm going out after work

Purse
Keys
Book
Notebook and pen
Fold up bag

Then often random stuff like lunch, bottle of water etc.
