What "Essentials" Am I Supposedly Missing?

I was with some girlfriends the other day and us, being curious like we are, went through each others bags. Its something us ladies ALWAYS wonder, "...whats in her bag". Or maybe its just me, lol. So apparently one of my friends came to the conclusion that my bag is missing the "essentials". Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to spend together and had to go our separate ways so she never clarified. What exactly are the "essentials" women have in their bags? I know she has some toothpaste and a toothbrush, countless tampons and other bits. I, on the other hand, had none of those.

You can see the picture above and see what I have in my bag. I have my Bora Bora Chapstick and Hard Candy Plumping Serum Lip Gloss from previous reviews that I love. Also have a travel-size Vaseline lotion, Neutrogena eyeliner in black, 2 CoBigelow lip gloss, my sharpie marker, travel-size Herbal Essences sculpting gel, Shout wipes, Visine eye drops, Revlon kit, a wad of my blog business cards, my coupon holder, my Pico Solar Charger, my Tokidoki notebook, keys, my Samsung PL120 camera, Tokidoki earphones, my iPhone 4 with my Tokidoki GelaSkin, my Tokidoki bag itself AND my wallet (which has my old school IDs [I have no CA State ID], my debit cards [I have no credit cards], Social Security Card, CVS- Walgreens- PetSmart- GameStop and Starbucks cards and money). My wallet is what I consider my "essentials".

I think my friend is crazy! I don't need toothpaste and a tooth brush in my bag, I have them at my home. Maybe its the lack of make-up, all I had in my bag was an E.L.F. Mineral Concealer w/ SPF 15 in light and my countless eyeliners. I don't wear much so I don't carry much. I don't understand, lol.
So ladies, what exactly am I missing?

I recommend taking your Social Security Card OUT of your purse. If your purse gets stolen you'll be in extra trouble because they'll have everything they need to impersonate you!

Great advice :) Thanks. My SS card is actually in a little separate pouch with my Passport that I don't carry unless I need it :)
this was going to be my EXACT sugguestion. I carry A LOT in my purse, and I seem to have about the same as you.... they are *MY* essentials. I think each girl is different. Its always nice to have an emergency tampon or two. For you and your friend hehe
Maybe she was upset I didn't carry any extras for her, but she had enough for a classroom :) lol
Looks like you have all the essentials to me.
If you have everything you need when you go out, you have the essentials. =) Everyone's essentials are different. I don't have any makeup whatsoever in my purse. And I only put an extra set of clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, and my hair straightener in if I stay somewhere overnight.
