Kikay Kits
Oct 20 '08
The Bottom Line Ladies! What's in your bag?
In the Philippines, KIKAY is the term we use for a girl / woman who is witty, sociable, trendsetter, party-animal, bubbly, fashionable, etc. In short, GLAMOROUS. So obviously, Kikay Kits are actually glamour kits. It can be as big as a bag or as small as a purse. Either way, we all have something in our bag to make ourselves look presentable and the best we can be. It also says something about us girls / ladies on how we take care of ourselves.
WARNING: Men.. Don't ever. I mean NEVER, ever touch or take a peek on a woman's purse, bag or other forms of kikay kits. It's a girls small santuary. Something we call our own.
What's inside my "kikay kit"? (It's a bag):
* Comb - Climate in the Philippines is tropical. It's mostly humid. Very hot and windy, most of us our commuting. A comb is essential. Our hair is our crown.
* Make-up: A bag within a bag - In order of application, all compact, all miniature:
- Face Powder (to make me look radiant. I don't want to look pale when i go outside our house.)
- Loose powder (I sweat sometimes. This makes me feel a little bit dry.)
- Foundation (preferably liquid. I apply this only when I'm at work. I don't want to look like my skin is peeling. Like I said, it's humid and I sweat. Foundation will eventually wear off.)
- Another touch of Face Powder
- Eyebrow pencil (nothing particular. Even the cheap ones will do for me.)
- Eye shadow (color depends on my mood or what I wear.)
- Blush-on (add a touch of color on my cheeks).
- Lipstick (multipurpose - can be used as an eyeshadow, blush-on and classic - lipstick).
* Baby Cologne (makes me smell fresh and like a baby) or perfume (Victoria Secret's Endless Love / Love Spell Body Spray or CK one / CK one summer).
* Moisturizer (apply it whenever my face feels dry).
* Lotion (hand & body - to smothen my hands).
* Hand sanitizer (for emergency, hand wash and disinfectant).
* Cellphones (since I have more than 1).
* Notebook (essential for budding writers).
* Keys (house keys and office keys).
* Wallet / Coin Purse (money)
* Ballpens
* Cards (ATM Cards / Credit Card / Business Cards)
* IDs
* Books (To pass time: Pocketbooks, business books, study books).
* Candies (menthol candies - breath fresheners)
* Tissues / wipes
* A pair of sunglasses
* Occasionally: Sanitary pads (which we call "sandwich") and extra-undies (whenever we have those monthly visitor).
This is just my Kikay Kit. Different ladies have different versions of their kikay kits and have very particular brands of make-up & other essentials. Men, this is the closest thing you'll get to peek inside a woman's bag.
Women have to take time to prepare and take care of themselves. It's what makes us feel beautiful. And everything that makes us pretty and proud of ourselves are well worth spending. After all, if we want to be beautiful, we have to spend.
