Michaela Jaé Rodriguez is just like Us — she only keeps the essentials in her purse, a.k.a. her makeup.
Rodriguez, 33, poured the contents of her bag out while exclusively chatting with Us Weekly, admitting that her black leather purse is actually from her mom’s collection.
“I bought this bag from a store in my mom’s closet,” the actress joked. “I didn’t buy it, I stole it,” she continued. “I’m kidding. My mom saw that I was wearing this bag often, so she gave it to me and I keep it as a keepsake and I never really go anywhere without it.”
Rodriguez admitted that her purse resembles a black version of Dora the Explorer’s purple backpack, which her friend nicknamed.
Inside her purse, Rodriguez stored multiple Charlotte Tilbury products, including the brand’s setting powder, lip gloss and perfume.

Makeup
“It’s important that I have my One/Size Baking Puff because I need to get the powder everywhere and to make sure that I’m not dewy,” Rodriguez said, pulling out her triangular puff. Her go to powder, if you were wondering, is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish in the shade 3. “It’s a mat lay. Whenever I’m dewy I always have to put this on,” she told Us.
Rodriguez proved to be a major Charlotte Tilbury fan with her other go-to items, including the brand’s eyeliner, the Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm, and the Joyforia perfume. In case you were wondering, Rodriguez smells like warm florals mixed with vanilla.
PPI Spirits Hair Gel
“Now listen, don’t come from me ’cause this is my natural hair,” Rodriguez prefaced to Us. “But I do have glue up in here just in case something slips in my natural hair. I gotta make sure that my natural hair is glued to my skin or something like that. If you get my drift.”
Earrings
Of course Rodriguez keeps a backup pair of earrings in her bag! “I do have a pair of earrings that I wear almost every single day, [but] I keep these in here just in case one of my earrings falls out,” she explained. “I don’t have a pair on if I wanna change it up. You gotta have a pair of earrings.”
Wallet
Rodriquez stayed on trend with her black leather Thom Browne wallet that features an adorable dog on the corner.
“I wanna show you everything, but I can’t do that because it’s confidential babes,” Rodriguez laughed. “There’s some credit cards in here. There’s a good little debit card. There’s a global entry [card] because you know, a bitch gotta get everywhere she can get.”
She added, “And there’s a Costco card too, babes. Costco is real cute.”
Keys
Rodriguez never leaves home without her keys. “Keys are definitely down deep up in this thing somewhere,” she said, digging through her purse.
A Lighter
“I am definitely setting things a blaze,” Rodriguez quipped.
Headphones
Besides headphones, Rodriguez told Us that she’s been rocking her iPhone without a case for “months” now — but she still carries it in her bag just in case. “I don’t have no case on my iPhone, but I do have it in my purse,” she said.
