♥ it's in the bag.

according to my mother, when i was a little girl,

i used to carry my makeup around in a bag

that i referred to as "my shit."

classy, huh?

but in a way, i was right!

cosmetic bags are those oft overlooked accessories that get

beaten up, tossed around, coated in all sorts of makeup

and rarely ever replaced.

they are those dirty little secrets we have floating at the bottom

of our designer handbags, stuffed to the gills with five thousand

sticky lipsglosses, without so much as a thank you.

maybe this year,

treat your makeup to a brand new bag:

this marc by marc jacobs bow logo cosmetics case

will make even the most naturally beautiful women

think of a reason to carry it.

i am just smitten with these cute little bags

from anya hindmarch. they make life fun!

this ikat cosmetics case would add an exotic touch

to your everyday makeup routine!

this juicy loves sephora pink palm bag collection

includes literally the whole kit and caboodle!

this petite tory burch gecco small cosmetic case

could double as a clutch!

i love these terry cloth makeup bags from pottery barn,

that are simple and customized with your name or monogram!

this croc cosmetic bag from forever 21 is under $5,

which will leave you with plenty more $ for makeup!
