Alicia Silverstone Is Launching Eco Bags and Brushes
Alicia Silverstone has long been an environmental activist, working to support PETA, and a vegan lifestyle. (Her new book, The Kind Diet, which focuses on veganism, hits stores in a couple of months.) Now, the actress is slated to launch an eco-friendly line of makeup brushes and bags for EcoTools this December. The collection features designs of lavender, thyme, rose, and chrysanthemum — all favorites of Alicia's.
Nordstrom Lets You Visit Toledo
Ruben Toledo is an illustrator and painter whose work appears in style magazines and art museums alike. He's also one of the fashion world's most celebrated artists (and not just because his wife, Isabel Toledo, is one of Michelle Obama's favorite designers), counting Nordstrom as one of his clients. Last year, he created murals for a set used in the store's advertising; this year, he's bringing his work one step closer to shoppers with this makeup bag.
Members Only Launches Makeup Bag Collection
I have a soft spot for Members Only. Back in the day, I rocked the Midwest in my khaki Members Only jacket. In recent times, my nostalgic nature got the best of me, and I strolled on over to eBay to purchase a larger version of the jacket to fit my adult body.
Love It or Hate It? Candy Wrapper Makeup Bag
This Nahui Ollin makeup bag ($45) reminds me of a funky, low-fi cousin of the famed Bottega Veneta woven bags. But this one is made of Tootsie Roll wrappers. It's an unusual idea for storage, but do you think it's unusual and cool?
Sunny, Cheery Makeup Bags to Brighten the Winter
Winter is a lot of fun — at first. But after a month or two, the gray skies and slush tend to bring a girl down. One easy pick-me-up?Wrap Your Cosmetics in a Faux Kimono
Traditional Japanese patterns are so beautiful, especially when they're part of kimono and yukata garments. For instance, this maiko (an apprentice geisha) is wearing a vibrant kimono with an obi — and though they don't strictly match, they go together wonderfully.
Inspired by these patterns, I've found a few makeup bags adorned with plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and other Japanese flora.
Beauty Marked! Marvelous Makeup Bags
Last week's Beauty Mark It challenge asked you to find cute and cool makeup bags. Boy, did you ever! Tdamji pointed out this punky, graffiti-inspired bag, which also happens to be a free-trade product.
Beauty Mark It! Marvelous Makeup Bags
Having a compact makeup bag is important for any beauty maven. When you have limited space, you'll pack only the essentials. And of course, it's always nice when you have a cute container for your stuff!
Must-Have of The Moment: Louis Vuitton Vanity GM
I am totally kvelling over this incredible travel case! Louis Vuitton has remodeled its classic vanity, the Trouville, and the result is the Vanity GM ($1,800). This gorgeous patent leather piece has a zippered closure, three inside pockets, an inside strap to secure bottles, a four-facet mirror and is embossed with monochromatic LV monograms throughout.
Coming Soon: Metallic Makeup Bags from Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale
We just can't get away from metallics (not that I'm complaining). First we thought it was just a spring trend, but then it carried through to summer and now we see it again for fall. So if you are going to tote around a metallic handbag, why not carry a metallic makeup case as well?
