Makeup pouches. I’m always looking for a pretty makeup pouch. Something streamlined, with a nice pattern that I can easily slip into any purse and not be embarrassed to pull out in public. Whenever there is a gift with purchase for my favourite beauty brands, the quality of the pouch is an important factor in helping me decide whether I invest or not. I think that many of us have a lot of ‘cheap’ low quality pouches that we’ve left in the bottom of bathroom cupboards and have forgotten about.
While there are countless numbers of beautiful makeup pouches on the market, I find a clear airplane one to be very elusive. I spent a lot of time buying inexpensive plastic makeup pouches for travel. I would cram as much as possible into them and inevitably the zipper would break, the pouch would tear and I’d be stuck taping it back together. You also have to be aware of the differences in the laws for what you can carry onto a plane in different countries. So when I travel in Canada and the US, lipsticks, eye shadows and blush doesn’t count. They aren’t a liquid and you don’t need to put them in a clear pouch. Then the time we had to go through customs in the UK suddenly all that changed and all makeup had to be in that baggie. So there we were, along with a whole number of others, repacking everything as a security guard yelled at us to keep moving! Kind of a stressful moment.
So this past year when I went traveling, I decided to search for that perfect plastic makeup pouch that wouldn’t rip tear or snap. Finally I found it. The secret is that it’s an expandable heavy duty plastic and the the zipper is fabric. So unless I stuff it to capacity, it will last me a really long time. Hopefully that will translate to a lot of travel!
Do you have any favourite makeup pouches?

I often change make up bags… they seem to fit at the beginning and then they become too small!
Come back soon to visit me on…

When I go on vacation, I find the easiest way to carry everything is in a ziplock bag. I don’t like how small regular makeup bags are. And all that plastic gets pretty heavy!
Cute! Please check out newest post at http://www.loveolia.com! Hope you’ll follow on Bloglovin!
Lovely 🙂 I even like the look of the clear plastic one more!

You touched a very interesting topic. I’m always on the look for a cute good-quality make up bag, or possibly more than one, because I keep in different bags products I use at night and in the morning , full makeup supply and “emergency” makeup 🙂

Oh I love the idea of full makeup and emergency supply. I think I’m going to do that!

I tend to bundle everything into a ziplock and pull it in and out of my make-up bag to navigate security – but how simpler to just buy a great clear make-up purse instead! Definitely adding something similar to my shopping list.

That’s what I used to do but the case has been a lifesaver!

A ziplock bag is perfect for travelling!
I love your Armani make up pouch!
Kisses sweetie!
Thanks so much!

I found a Chanel makeup bag that I’ve been wanting for a while now.. but then I think, my makeup will spill in that just the same as it does in the one I get from Walmart… so that’s where I’m at.. totally love the clear one idea for traveling!

That’s a tough one but you can always spray a fabric protector in yours and then you’ll have a beautiful pouch!

So much cuter than my ziploc baggy that I use through security! How was your last vacay? Hope you had a blast!
Oh we did! We were there for a conference but there was still plenty of time to walk around and shop!

I totally agree. Clear plastic is a great idea, airport control can see what is inside the beauty case. p.s. This Chanel lipstic has fabulous color.

I have so many makeup bags just sitting under my sink! I found some cute Sonia Kashuk ones, but love the clear!
The clear one is perfect for travel but the Sonia Kashuk one sounds way better!

Your choices of make up pouches are so cute!! I love the Lanvin with the eyes, I would use it as a clutch too.

Yes! My idea of a great makeup pouch is one that can double as a clutch.

Adorei, óptima escolha! =D
Thank you!!!

they are so so strict with those ‘liquid’ laws here in the uk – blusher seems a bit extreme though!
Thankfifi
