Gap Canvas Cosmetic Bags

I stopped by the Gap on my way home the other night and was happily surprised to see some good stuff in the women’s dept. I am a Gap obsessive, but for the past 4 or so seasons I’ve been quite disappointed. As far as I’m concerned the Gap started to loose me when they booted the beautiful SJP for some random 19 year old. Around the same time I started my heavy shopping at Old Navy which still to this day never disappoints. For a while I was convinced all the good designers had gone from the Gap to Old Navy but I have no proof of this.

The other night what first caught my eye was the Contrast trim canvas satchel. On closer inspection I’m not crazy about the yellow/tan color though I do like the brown leather trim. Then I happened upon these lovely cosmetic bags in all sort of shapes, sizes and colors. I plan to pick up a couple of these small bags, not for cosmetics, but to keep everything organized in my larger commuting bag.

Now all the Gap needs to do to get back in my good graces is hire SJP back for all ads and give me this leather jacket for free and all will be forgiven!

That’s a little metal thing, not a sticker. I think the coin purse would look so much better without it- it’s the only thing stopping me from buying it!

Obsessed with the Gap butterfly bags for some reason…but the cloth one is sold out! Not sure how to find one, besides Ebay (slim pickings.)

Just needed to share that, apparently!

Ahh, how cute!!! Those little small bags are the sweetest but really they could only be used for tiny stuff, I mean I wouldn’t buy that small of a bag, because you’re just wasting your money on a bag that can only fit money, and besides GAP can be expensive and thats not the cutest bag on the planet and I’m sure not the cheapest and besides you can find a cuter and cheaper bag out there so whoever decided they were going to spend their money on that is seriously disturbed.

A make-up or cosmetic bag is essential for every woman who wants to look presentable all the time. If you shop at department stores or even online, there’s a wide range of cosmetic bags available. The problem is you can’t seem to pick one! That’s what this guide is all about – to give you tips and tricks on how to pick that make-up kit that is suited to your lifestyle. There are factors you should consider before jumping to buy a cosmetic bag. Your personal style, durability and of course, functionality all come into play. Read on to know more.

DO

1. Keep with your own style

Get a cosmetic bag similar in design to the purses or bags you currently use. A cosmetic bag is a woman’s ultimate accessory and needs to fit with your entire wardrobe, or a good majority of it, not just what you are wearing at the time when picking out your cosmetic bag at the store.

2. Size matters

If you already have a purse, get a cosmetic bag that is small, portable and can practically fit anywhere. Professional make-up artists and extremely fashion-minded women may need to pick size over style. The Allison Barrett Cosmetic Bag and Bloom Cosmetic Bag are brands that have enough room for most of your cosmetic items.
