10 Things Sydney Sweeney Can't Live Without

I literally shower myself in perfume.

Would you like to see?

Okay, I like to get here, here,

armpit, armpit, wrist, spread,

and then maybe sometimes the back of your ankles,

and that's it, but maybe not.

[laughs]

Hi, GQ. It's Sydney Sweeney, and these are my essentials.

[upbeat hip-hop music]

One of my essentials: sugar.

This is my breakfast,

this is my lunch, and this is my dinner.

[laughs]

I live and breathe by sugar.

Everyone who is close to me knows that I will get

through the day if I have a good candy in my purse,

or if someone else hands me some sugar,

so I always have some good backup.

This is the holy grail of sugar.

Car ride, Take 5.

little breakfast, Kit Kat.

[laughs]

A good popcorn mix,

I'll pour my Sour Patch Kids in my popcorn bowl

so that when I'm eating my popcorn and watching a movie,

I'll get a little surprise.

[laughs]

Airheads for fun, and Nerds,

'cause I always forget about Nerds.

[upbeat music]

I always travel with disposable cameras, or have one on me,

or have 'em held in my trailer, or at parties.

I think that they're just such a fun way

of capturing moments, and I like giving 'em to everybody

to capture things that I might not even be able to see.

I have a little picture book.

Yeah, like an old school picture book,

'cause I remember growing up and going through my grandma

or my mom's little photo albums, and I loved that,

and I kinda wanna be able to give that to my kids one day,

instead of just scrolling through a phone.

So I've been trying to capture more photos,

and put together little photo albums,

so I have that for my family.

[upbeat music]

Perfume: Armani My Way. I need more.

I'm almost out.

I was never like a huge perfume girl growing up,

'cause my mom never really introduced me to it.

And then as I got older,

I started using it, and this has become my scent.

I love it. I love it so much.

It smells like flowers,

and I feel like a princess whenever I have it on.

It's my favorite scent.

But I literally shower myself in perfume.

Would you like to see?

Okay, I like to get here, here,

armpit, armpit, wrist, spread,

and then maybe sometimes the back of your ankles,

and that's it, but maybe not.

[laughs]

[upbeat music]

I can't see far away.

So I have to wear glasses, and I don't wear contacts,

which I probably should,

but I have a fear of putting things in my eye,

which I'm trying to get over.

So I'm constantly either wearing my glasses,

or my eyes are so strained and red,

because they're just constantly not being able to see.

So this is a must.

I didn't start wearing glasses

until I was like 17 or 18 years old,

and the moment I put them on, I was like,

this is what the world looks like.

Look at the trees. There's leaves.

[laughs]

So yeah, these are my glasses.

[upbeat music]

They're dirty, though.

My next essential is what I'm currently reading right now,

and it's Molly Shannon's memoir.

I'm like halfway through so far, but I'm really enjoying it.

She sent me the book, and I'm really proud of her,

and you guys should read it.

It's really good.

I always have a book with me.

I try to read a book a week.

I love reading. I grew up loving reading.

I think I read more books than watch TV.

I tried getting into reading on my iPad.

My eyes would get tired, and I have to have a paper book.

I dream of having like a giant library one day.

I'm just trying to collect books as I go.

I read.

[laughs]

My Armani Lip Power, it's the best color.

This is like the most natural for my lip.

I think this is 103, right? Yeah, 103.

This is the greatest lip color on the market.

When I'm doing just natural makeup and no lip liner,

I'll use this.

I use it for carpets too,

'cause it's just super pretty and natural,

which I like to go for natural the most when it's just me.

I have one in my makeup bag,

and then I have one that's in my purse

that I'm carrying that day.

I have a tendency to lose things.

[upbeat music]

My Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. It's a must.

I have one in every bag, every vanity, every bathroom.

Vanilla's my favorite.

I'm almost out, but I put it on when I sleep.

But then I also put it on during the day,

which I hope that's correct.

Hope I don't get in trouble for that.

It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

[upbeat music]

My next essential is a 111SKIN eye patch.

These are everything for me.

I travel with them,

I wear 'em before I go to work, before carpets.

I try to put eye patches on every morning

just to wake myself up.

But these have become my favorite.

I used to sting from eye patches,

and this one just nourishes me the most.

Here, I'll open it, I'll show you.

It's like this cool jelly material, and it's blue,

which is my favorite color.

If you'll see it's like kind of jelly.

See?

I can't put it on right now, 'cause my makeup's done.

When I wear 'em on airplanes,

I'll just wear 'em the whole flight,

and then they dry up, but my skin doesn't.

So that is key.

[upbeat music]

The only drink I drink is water.

I only drink water.

The reasoning is really strange.

When I was like 12, for whatever reason,

I said I'm only gonna drink water for the rest of my life.

And I just kinda stuck with it.

[laughs]

I don't know why.

I think it was a challenge I presented to myself,

and then I kept going with it, and I like it,

'cause I eat a lot of sugar, like a lot of sugar.

So I think it balances me out.

I probably go through a good four to six bottles a day.

That's good, right?

[upbeat music]

So another essential, which I think is everyone's essential,

is a good iPhone charger.

I have my European adapter,

'cause I just never know where I'm gonna wake up

in the mornings.

I always have a charger, but my phone dies,

which I kinda like when it dies,

'cause then, the world is quiet.

[laughs]

Thank you for watching, and this is how I get through life.
