Summer Essentials: Makeup Bags

This is the first of a new series called the "Summer Essentials"! 
Enjoy! :)
So... when you are going somewhere on vacation you can't just carry all of your makeup around in your hands, I mean who does that! We've got to pack in style!
I found quite a few different makeup bag, case, and organizer options, and most are at relatively cheap prices!
Check them out and find the one that is perfect for you!! :)

1.
This is a small sequined cloth bag with a zipper top. Cloth is less structured and is more apt to absorb spills, but you can also just toss it into the washing machine when it gets dirty. 
This would be a bag I would stick into my purse for the day or for an overnight trip.
It's dimensions are 7" High x 10" Wide x 2" Deep
It comes in Blue and White, Black and White, and Pink and Black.



2.
This is a larger striped cosmetic bag with a handle, the top zips around to flip back. It is coated so if you spill something on it, it should wipe off pretty easily.
I would use this for week long trips perhaps? Since this type of bag lacks organizational aspects, they aren't my favorite.
It comes in Pink and Black, Baby Pink and White, and Neon Pink and White.
It's dimensions are 4.5" High x 8.0" Wide x 7" Deep


3.
This is a brush roll. You use it to organize your brushes so the bristles don't get bent and they are used to prevent unwanted bacteria from growing on them.
I use one smaller than this and it works well for me, but they also make them much larger as well
It comes in Black Ikat and Plum Mini Dot. It can be personalized.
It's dimensions are (Open) 13.5" wide x 8" deep x 2.5" high
On sale for $14.99 at www.pbteen.com/Make-Up_Brush_Roll

4.
This is a more structured version of the first option. It also has a coating for easy clean up after spills.
I like this version of cosmetic bags especially for weekend trips. It's easy to pack, small, but also large enough to fit all I need.
It comes in Pink and Black, Neon Pink and White, and Baby Pink and White.
It's dimensions are 4.5" High x 7" Wide x 3" Deep


5.
A clear bag with a zip top and a zippered front pocket. Similar to the first option in size, but with better structure. Easy wip off cleaning.
I am not a big fan of these because they are see through, but they still work just as well.
It comes in Clear with Black Trim only.
It's dimensions are 4.25 long x 9.25 wide x 5.5 high

6.
This is very similar to option number two, only it isn't as deep and it doesn't have a handle. It can be wiped clean.
My feelings on this are basically the same as option two. This would be a better to sit on your makeup counter than travel with.
It comes in Pink and Black and Tan and Black
It's dimensions are 3.35" High x 7" Wide x 7" Long
                                                              7.
This is a makeup organizer, rather than a makeup bag. When you open the lid the compartments fold out and display all of the makeup you have stored inside. It is made out of hard plastic.
I would use this at home rather than on a trip, but I have seen some people who prefer to use these because it keeps them more organized. Whatever your preference.
It comes in multiple colors

8.
This is similar to the other smaller makeup bags I have shown you, just a different look. Not coated but still can be wiped clean.
I wouldn't normally use this type of bag because of it's odd shape.
It comes in Black with Pink Trim
It's dimensions are 3.5" High x 7.5" Wide x 3.4" Deep




9.
This bag has two compartments, a zippered top and a zip around bottom. In the bottom there is a brush organizer and a mirror. Not coated but can be wiped clean.
I think this looks amazing! Plenty of room and organizational compartments. Pretty awesome!
It only comes in Pink, on this website anyway.




10.
This is a hanging organizer. It rolls up, similar to the way a brush roll does, so it is more compact. It has multiple compartments for easy organization.
This is what I am using at the moment to carry all of my toiletries. I have two rolls, one for toiletries and one for accessories and makeup. Love it! 
On this website it only comes in Zebra
It's dimensions are 1.1 long x 4.0 wide x 6.4 high


I know there are many many more types of cosmetic bags that I didn't talk about, but these are some of the most popular (and prettiest!) ones I found. You can find many more great options at www.claires.com, www.target.com, www.drugstore.com, www.walmart.com, www.forever21.com or if you know a Thirty-One consultant I suggest checking out their catalog, that's where I got my favorite makeup bag!
I hope this helps out! :)

Popsugar: December

I am honestly way too excited about this box!  For Christmas my parents ordered me a three month subscription of Popsugar when it was on sale around Black Friday and I am thrilled!  We got a three month subscription for $20 per box, plus a free gift!     For the amount of stuff in one of these boxes, I think it is definitely worth it!   Everything in this box was so well packaged, I was very impressed!  It was lined with bubble wrap and paper, and then everything inside was in its own box/packaging or wrapped in bubble wrap! And Happiness Delivered... too cute! The first thing I pulled out was this Baublebar pendent.  It is a long silver necklace with a circle pendent that is half white and half silver.  It is called the Snowfall Pendent and is apparently a Popsugar exclusive!  I have been looking for a new long necklace, so this was fun to receive!  The suggested retail is $28. This is the Sisters' Gourmet Baker...

Dirty Myrtle 2017: Days 4 and 5

Day 4 11:40 Well… I can't really say good morning now can I? We slept in today and then I had a super exciting breakfast of pop tarts! Now we are just sitting on the beach, which will basically be the extent of our day! 1:30 We decided to go in for lunch about 1:30, but we just had leftovers, nothing too exciting! But tonight we are going to a place called Art Burger and Sushi Bar, and I am kind of crazy excited! Until then we will just be chilling on the beach and in the lazy river (that isn't ours) 😅 7:50 Made it to dinner!   My outfit: Shirt is from American Eagle, shorts are from Target, and bracelets are Alex and Ani   Kaitlyn's outfit: Her shirt is from Old Navy and   shorts are from Target!   Check out how cute these menus are? We ordered The Dahli burger, which had fried pickles and avocado ranch on it, a shrimp tempura roll, and a fried chicken roll with mac and cheese and BBQ sauce! It is insanely good, and hone...

Etsy Haul: KP ( aka "chicken skin") Products

So have you ever heard of KP?   This is short for Keratosis Pilaris, and is more commonly known as "chicken skin."  They are the small, red, hard bumps they generally appear on your upper arms or thighs, but can happen just about anywhere!  It is generally an incurable genetic condition, so multiple people in a family will suffer from it at varying degrees.  Well, my family is one of those.   Now before you start a "Go Fund Me" page for this horrible medical condition, let me say, these bumps are totally and completely harmless.  The biggest hit usually comes to a person's self esteem when they wear sleeveless tops.  It is nothing to be embarrassed of, and if you are comfortable with it, then good for you!  You are more confident than I am, and I applaud you.  Because, and I'm going to be real with you here, I am pretty self conscious of it... It is generally recommended to use gentle lotions and to use a body scru...
