Marc Jacobs “Lace” Miss Marc Cosmetic Bag

Marissa — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:50:15 +0000

I currently own a Louis Vuitton and Juicy Couture makeup bag, but that doesn’t stop me from looking at more of them. I have this weird obsession with searching for small designer goods especially cosmetic bags on the internet. Designer’s tend to make the cutest makeup bags and I always want to buy them all. I don’t purchase any of them, but it’s always nice to just stare at them.

It’s no secret that I’m not a big “Miss Marc” fan, but I have to admit that I like her latest lace collection. I love lace, and thankfully it seems to be a trend these days. I think it was a brilliant idea for Marc Jacobs to not only get in on the lace trend, but to also have Miss Marc apart of it. Miss Marc is literally adorned in lace on the cosmetic bag, and I think it’s stunning!

Hate on me all you want, but Miss Marc hardly ever looks stylish to me. To have her dressed up in one of the biggest trends right now is without a doubt adorable and hilarious.

I know if I didn’t own two designer cosmetic bags already, I would purchase this one in a heart beat! Then again, the price is so great that maybe I will order one! Kind of hard to say no when you see a designer accessory under $75!

The Marc by Marc Jacobs “Lace” Miss Marc Mini Cosmetic Bag can be purchased at Zappos for $58, which I believe is an amazing price for it. It’s not very often you stumble on an affordable but yet cute designer piece. Miss Marc is very popular, so grab one before they disappear!

Thrifty Thrill Alexander McQueen Cosmetic Pouch

Marissa — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:29:51 +0000

I love Alexander McQueen and when you can find his gorgeous accessories on sale it’s a miracle! Sales on Alexander McQueen accessories don’t happen often, and when they do it’s best to snatch them up as soon as possible.

While browsing around Zappos, I came across an amazing deal on an Alexander McQueen cosmetic pouch. I love collecting designer accessories, and I’m itching to purchase this one!

The cosmetic pouch features croc-embossed patent leather and gold hardware. This may be a tiny accessory, but I have to admit it’s pretty fabulous. I currently own a Louis Vuitton cosmetic pouch, and I think this one may blow it out of the water. The Louis Vuitton pouch is classic, whereas the Alexander McQueen pouch is definitely more stylish.

The only downfall about this pouch is that it is patent leather. I carry so many things in my purse that I would be scared that the pouch would get scratched. Patent leather is known to scratch easily, and it might scratch up even quicker when it’s tossed around in a bag. Overall, this is a stunning cosmetic pouch to add to any accessory collection you would just have to be extra careful with it.

You can purchase the Alexander McQueen “Cosmetic” Pouch at Zappos for $156. The original price of the pouch was $300.45, which makes the sale price a streal! If you love this cosmetic pouch, grab one quick before they are all gone!

Dooney & Bourke Sport Duck Cosmetic Purse

Jennifer — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:44:54 +0000

New to the scene over at Zappos, Dooney & Bourke handbags! One little fabulous essential that caught my eye is the Nylon Triple Zip Flat Cosmetic Pouch from the new Summer 2009 Sport Duck Collection, the Fabric Line.

Details: This spacious nylon pouch will keep all your little personals neatly organized. Features 3 separate compartments: one main one on the top which is zipper protected then two front exterior zip pockets for the little stuff. The interior is lined with hot pink material. Now for the most important point, dimensions: 7 1/4″ wide x 1/2″ deep x 5″ high.

The price.. ready to be blown away. A thrifty thrill, the Sport Duck Purse retails for only $30!

The pouch above is the little accessory to the new Sport Duck collection, bags freckled with the silhouette of a sleepy mallard duck. To be honest I don’t think this style is that bad on the Large Overnight Duffle style. It has a sort of vintage vibe to it, which I draws me in. And the price is ridiculously reasonable – only $148!

Side Note: It is very rare for me to actually come out posting about a D&B style that I like. When I think of the brand the first image that comes to mind is cartoon sketched, color crayoned bags from the Grafic Line, which is obviously targeted towards the preteen market. I’m in my early (come tomorrow, mid) 20’s, with a taste for designer items. So you wont see me prancing in my Prada Pumps down the street in a Dior Dress with a Dooney Bumble Bee or Candy Wrappers bag on arm. It would never happen.

However of course there are other styles, such as the more classic Leather Line, for those who simply don’t like cartoon images. Like for example the Dooney & Bourke Calf Large Zipper Pocket Sac.. simple, functional as a perfect day bag, comes in some stylish colors and most importantly there is no crayoned in graphic images. By the way, it’s currently on sale for only $185!

Free Prada Cosmetic Case with Prada Flip Flops Purchase!

BrS — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:17:48 +0000

Prada, what have you guys been up to lately? To tell you the truth, I haven’t been paying a whole lot of attention. They make some of the nicest handbags I have ever seen, I just wish they had a little more pizazz to them. The same shapes keep reappearing year after year, with just a tiny little change here or there. I don’t know about you Bag Bliss readers out there, but I would really like to see some fresh new designs from this designer.

Now I’m not saying Prada isn’t good at providing their customers with the basics. They make wonderful nylon cosmetic cases and other small accessories. Great for every day, just toss them in your bag and go! And if you really want to sweeten the deal, then check out this Prada Flip Flops and Cosmetic Case Set I found! For the same price as a large cosmetic bag, you get a lovely patent cosmetic bag of comparable size PLUS a pair of matching flip flops! How cool is that? What I like best about this set is that you could also use it for traveling. Just pop the flip flops inside the bag along with some toiletries and you’re ready to go!

The Prada Flip Flops and Cosmetic Case Set is available in Black, Gold, Green, or Silver. It retails for $195. Pick yours up at Saks Fifth Avenue

See by Chloe Dance or Die Pouch

Deysa — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:26:36 +0000

I apologize to any See by Chloe fans out there, but I can’t justify buying any of their overprized accessories, overall, they’re not so impressive. I have yet to run into something I must have, but today, something did catch my attention.

Just check out the killer message found on this pouch. Want to take a wild guess at what the name of this piece is? Yes, you pretty much guessed it; meet the Dance or Die Pouch by SBC. So someone at SBC headquarters threw a joke onto this pouch and I can’t help but wonder if I’m the only one that doesn’t get it? Illustrated on canvas is the message that seems to be coming from a phonograph record player, as if it were music to the owner’s ears. I personally don’t find this attractive, but I do like the variety of colors you can choose from.

You can’t go wrong with a simple canvas accessory, as this piece is. It looks supportive and roomy enough for small essentials. Although I do hate how the $95 price tag is nowhere near convincing; otherwise, these would make really cute gifts.

Hayden-Harnett Carryall Cosmetic Bag

BrS — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:08:54 +0000

Spring is here! Okay, okay… maybe not quite, but close! And what better way to celebrate the coming of Spring than getting yourself a bright and colorful accessory? Personally, I love colorful accessories. Things that you can put inside your basic black or brown bag, only to find it joyously peaking out you when you look inside. Yep, it’s little things like that that can really brighten up your day. So how about the Hayden-Harnett Carryall Cosmetic Bag? It is of decent size (8″ x 3.5″ x 2.5″), large enough to carry a whole array of Springy makeup. Or, if you wanted, you could even use it as a pencil case. Or as a wristlet! The possibilities just seem endless, don’t they? And with so many different colors available, you probably won’t be able to help buying more than one. Plus I just adore all the cute and colorful print linings found inside these bags. But here’s the real kicker: The Hayden-Harnett Carryall Cosmetic Case retails for only $64! Love it!

So if you’re in need of a colorful cosmetic case (or two, or three), then swing by Hayden-Harnett’s official website. Also check out Luna Boston and Revolve Clothing.

There you will find it available in Brandy, Eucalyptus, Ginger, Blueberry, Lagoon, Moonbeam, and Black Onyx.

What’s In Your Handbag? Marissa’s Louis Vuitton Multicolor Speedy 30

Marissa — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:05:58 +0000

My ultimate favorite handbag is the Louis Vuitton Multicolor Speedy 30. I’m even lucky enough to not only own one but to live in Florida, a state where I can pretty much carry it 365 days a year if I wanted to. I try to carry my Multicolor Speedy 30 as much as I can, I even carried it today!

No matter what handbag I carry on any given day, I am always the type of person to put as much as I can in my handbag. For some reason, I can not walk out the door unless I have “certain” items with me.

Those “certain” items I can not leave my house without are my: Dolce & Gabbana eye glasses and sunglasses; Louis Vuitton change purse, cosmetic pouch, and wallet; Juicy Couture flash drive; keys; cell phone; hair clip; pretzels; and iPod.

I am a designer junkie, but the one thing out of all those items listed above that I can not go anywhere without is actually my Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses! I got them for such a great deal at Nordstrom, that I literally don’t let them leave my side!

My question to you is, “What’s in your handbag?” Do you pack your handbag with designer goods? Do you carry as little or as much as you can? Do you carry anything that is considered a “norm” or interesting? What are the things that must always be in any purse you carry?

Post pictures of your favorite handbag that you own, and show us all what is inside here!

Purse Deal: Comme des Garcons Butterfly Pouch

Marissa — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:05:04 +0000

Typically, I fall for anything that features a butterfly on it. Butterflies have always reminded me of love for some reason. When I saw the Comme des Garcons Butterfly Pouch I instantly fell in love with it. Not only did the pouch feature butterflies on it but because it was a shade of pink too! The measurements of the Comme des Garcons Butterfly Pouch are 6.5″H x 8.5″L. Yes, the pouch is very small but looks like it would be great for carrying a little bit of makeup or important papers. The pouch also has eight inch zipper closure and leather lining. If you are the type of bagista that likes carrying a pouch in your purse for whatever reason, the Comme des Garcons Butterfly Pouch is definitely a cute pouch that looks very different than most pouches out there. The best part is that the Comme des Garcons Butterfly Pouch is on sale! The pouch is currently on sale over at Shop Bop for $74, which is a great price compared to its original price. Also, if you are not in love with the pinkish natural shade don’t worry because the pouch also comes in black, which is also very beautiful! With an original price of $148, I would sale the sale price is a great deal! Get yours todaty before they are long gone! With a sale like that, I’m sure they won’t last long!
