Make-up Bag Make-over

So, here's my confession - my make-up bag tends to get really, really gross. I'm not really good at keeping up with it, which is surprising considering I'm usually so organized. But every once and awhile I get completely yucked out, and I clean everything and replace the bag. I saw my friend with this nice, sturdy, easy-to-clean clear make-up bag, and was surprised to find out that she got it at CVS. I was thinking more along the lines of Sephora or Ulta. Anywho, I bought the same one, and it was only 9 dollars and it came with a loofah and two travel sized bottles for liquids inside. Total steal!! All my make-up feels so new and nice now - finally I can put on my "face" and not come out of it with sticky foundation and eyeliner shaving residue all over my hands!! 

How often do you clean out your make-up bag? Does yours ever get as dirty as mine was?? I want to know!

  1. mine usually get grimy too. If they're washable I just throw them in the washing machine and hope for the best!

  2. Lol, much better! Mine gets back too (I think everyone's does to a certain point). I give mine a good run through every couple of months.

  3. I try and clean mine once a month, but that is trying. I love the idea of have a clear one to see everything. Instead of digging around.

  4. I definitely like to change mine out periodically, and I love the clear one you're using now! I might have to get one! When I went to visit an old friend last month, she gave me a cute polka-dotted makeup bag with "T" for Toni on it...not necessarily something I would have picked for myself, but it was fun receiving it as a gift and I've been using it since.

  5. I have the same problem - mine can get really treacherous!

  6. Mine get pretty messy! There will be foundation all over everything! I'll clean it out every now and then and it's so nice cleaner! I'm just too lazy to clean it that often. haha.

    I'm liking the look of a simple makeup bag like that. I might end up getting myself one to take travelling (:
