Trina may be known as the Diamond Princess (after the title of her sophomore album), but she also loves her pearly whites. “I’m a dental floss freak,” the rapper, born Katrina Laverne Taylor, tells Us Weekly. “I hate the dentist, so I take care of my teeth,” she revealed, which is why she always keep dental floss in her bag. The single Miami native, 37, whose new EscapeX app dropped in August, cleans out her quilted Chanel satchel for Us.
Total Sucker
“I like the Blow Pop because it’s a candy, and then it’s gum. I have one when I’m about to go to my show. It makes my tongue red, so when I’m performing, you just see red, and i just love that.”
Talent Scout
“At shows, people always hand me CDs or little USBs. Someone will say, ‘Hey! I’m an artist. Listen to my music.’ I usually have a lot of them and once I’m not traveling, I listen to them.”
Leveling Up
“The one game I have on my iPhone 6 Plus is Ms. Pac-Man. I loved it as a kid — I always beat my friends. I’m the champ.”
On the Kisser
“My favorite lip gloss, Mally Beauty in Summer Peach, is subtle and flirty. Mally Roncal is a makeup artist who has a line at QVC.”
Eye-Opener
“I wear Lilly Lashes. Once, I went to the drive-thru teller at the bank, I handed the guy my credit card and my eyelashes were stuck to it! I was so embarrassed.”
What else is in Trina’s Chanel handbag? A rose-gold iPhone 6 Plus in a clear case; a red Louis Vuitton wallet with credit cards and cash; her Florida driver’s license; a little picture of her niece and nephew; spearmint gum; a discount coupon for the jewelry store Astoria Madrid in Miami; a key to her jewelry chest; a key to her suitcases; a Louis Vuitton keychain with her house and car keys; an iPhone charger; earphones; Natura Bissé moisturizing serum; a MAC lipstick in RiRi Woo; eyedrops; peppermint candy; a set of Studio 35 tweezers; five watermelon Jolly Ranchers — her favorite candy; a tiny bottle of baby lotion; bobby pins and an AT&T extra battery pack.
