Review (5/5): Cool functional little bag does the trick!
I paid a discounted price for this product in order to review it on Amazon. I'm being very honest in my review, and I tend to be very critical about products. Here is what I thought about it:
I really liked this bag. The first thing I noticed that was different from other cosmetic bags was it's size and shape-I liked it! Usually cosmetic bags are long and awkward but I loved the little compact square simple shape of this one. I feel like with the longer ones all your stuff gets mixed together and ends up a mess so this seemed like the perfect size. It fit a surprisingly lot of cosmetics in there. I actually thought there were a lot of seemingly minor but really nice features on this little bag. Here are some of the features that, while small, felt like they really made a difference:
1) I LOVE the little mesh on the each side of the bag. Instead of being one massive empty container, the mesh helped me separate some products from others. For example, I have a little tub of cream that always gets lost in my regular cosmetic bag. I'm sure you have all been through it--where you are digging and digging just to find something small sunken down at the bottom of your bag. Here, I simply stuck it on the side and could easily grab it. Same with thin pencil liners--they are impossible to find in other bags but here I stuck mine in the mesh and presto! I could grab them easily. I also kept a pack of mini tissues in the mesh so that they wouldn't touch my make up which on occasion will leak.
2) I love that the zipper had a large tag-like thing at the end so you could easily grab it. My other bags end up getting weighed down by make-up and then it's hard to get a good grip on the dinky little zippers that other bags include. Plus, this one seems like it is not going to fall off easily.
3) The zipper seems very solid and smooth. I hate when bags are nice and then the zipper is cheap. Not so here.
4) The size is awesome and perfect for me--as I mentioned above. I love the cute boxy shape.
5) The logo (and zipper hold, mentioned above) seem solidly sewn in, not cheaply and loosely attached like other bags I have bought.
The only thing that I feel could have been an improvement are: I would have loved for the strap to be a velcro strap so it could hook onto other bags or items easily. And I'm not in love with the colors of the logo. But neither of these are a big deal and by far, the functionality of the bag outweighed these desired improvements.
I think if you are looking for a simple, functional cosmetic bag that holds a decent amount of stuff, this will be fine for you! I hope my description is helpful! I thought this product was really cute.
I posted some pictures below to give you a sense of the size and about how much can fit in the bag (I could fit more cosmetics but I wanted you to see the cool mesh on the sides so I didn't pack it to the gills. I also included a picture of the zipper.
Thanks for reading! (:
