LeSportsac

If you’re more of a conservative, low-maintenance type of gal, here’s a makeup bag for you! It’s the LeSportsac Manoush Square Cosmetic!  It’s so very simple in the black fabric and gold hardware but with a feminine touch that comes with the bow.   You definitely can’t carry too much around in it. It’s 3.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 inches.

Size comparison to the Cosmetiques Large

I love the black with gold hardware and bow.  It’s probably one of my favorite designs from LeSportsac. Unfortunately the size of the square cosmetic is too small for me to use as a daily makeup bag.  It would be good for travel to keep either medicine, headphones and usb cords, accessories, etc.  Big bonus is that it’s all black so it won’t look dirty for a long long time.  Since I already have a LeSportsac Square Cosmetic, I’ll probably be finding a better home for this guy.

Only one more LeSportsac Manoush bag review left and it’s the GIVEAWAY bag!!  The giveaway starts tomorrow (Friday Sept. 21st) so don’t forget to enter!!

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday evening!

Hey guys! I hope you’re all holding up well this LeSportsac filled week! I have a cute little treat for you today. It’s the LeSportsac Bisous Frill Coin Pouch!  I swear I had something very similar to this when I was a little girl. Brings back good memories! :]

The Bisous Frill Coin Pouch is 3.25 x 3.25 inches.  It’s heavier than the regular LeSportsac bag because of the metal kisslock frame closure.  It’s adorable with the frills right?

The front looks exactly like the back. See?

The inside pouch is actually smaller than the bag itself looks.
You really can’t fit too much in there.
Maybe some coins…
or shillings as I like to say.
The inside pocket size is probably the one flaw in the Bisous Frill Pouch.

I love kisslock frames by the way <3

You can attach your keys to it too!
Or hang it off one of your other bags.

Whatcha think?  I know it’s going to sound weird coming out of MY mouth but it feels just a smidgen too girly for my taste….  I’d totally love to give this to my little girl one day as her play purse.  Wouldn’t that be  freaking adorable? Or perhaps I should find a better suited home for it right now considering we don’t know when this hypothetical little girl will be joining our lives. :]

Wishing you a fond memory filled day!

I wanted to show you guys the other version of the Cosmetiques Frill Large makeup bag that I reviewed this morning. The Cosmetiques Frill Large bag is the same size (3.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches) but has a different fabric pattern and also has frills.

The front and back look identical

This is the top view

The interior is black, very spacious and opens wide due to the gusset

The gusset is cute because it has the design on it

I love the functionality of these LeSportsac Cosmetiques Large bags.  They are the perfect size for an everyday makeup bag and the gusset on the side lets the bag open very wide making it convenient when looking for anything inside.  The LeSportsac Cosmetiques Frill Large bag however is a bit too loud for me.  I think I would have preferred the bag if it were either just the print or just the frills, but not both mixed together. Oh one plus though is that it’ll take much longer for the Frill version to look dirty since it’s mostly black.

I’ll be looking for a new home for this Lesportsac Frill Large bag most likely in another giveaway or if one of the girls in my family want it.

What do you think? Would you sport this makeup bag look? Let me know in the comments below and if you think I should use this as a giveaway prize!

Wishing you a happy happy day!

Hi Everyone!

Today was one of those rare mornings where I actually felt refreshed waking up instead of the usual groggy crawling out of bed heading straight for the Keurig. Not that I don’t need my morning coffee… because that sounds really good right now. :]

I wanted to share with you the new LeSportsac Manoush Cosmetiques Large makeup bag.  It’s 3.5 x 6.5 x 2 inches in size so it’s great to carry around in your purse.

There is a side gusset so it opens up wide

The inside feels pretty padded! It’s nice knowing your beauty products are safe in your purse!
Sneak peek of my glitter nails! I’ll show you what I have on soon!

I love how simple the LeSportsac Cosmetiques bag is! Just pink, quilted with a cute bow on top.

I really like the size and simple design of the LeSportsac Cosmetiques Large bag.  It’s definitely something that I would use and show off proudly in my purse.  The size is large enough to carry  the essentials like a compact, oil blotters, some lip products, emergency medicine, etc but it’s small enough to keep what you carry limited so that you’re not carrying around unnecessary things.  I know the pink fabric will eventually get dirty but that’s something you have to deal with with any lighter bag.

What do you think about the LeSportsac Cosmetiques Large make up bag?  Would you carry this around?  Let me know in the comments below!

Wishing you a BEAUTYFULL Tuesday morning!

Happy Monday morning everyone!

I’m kicking off the LeSportsac Manoush collaboration series with a bag that reminds me a lot of my favorite travel wallet, the LeSportsac 3-zip cosmetic bag.  It’s the LeSportsac Chanteuse Frill Wristlet.

LeSportsac Chanteuse Frill Wristlet ($68.00)

And a photo of the back

 This wristlet is 6 x 9.25 inches and has three zipped compartments.  At the top there is a 9 inch strap with a dogclip so that you can convert it from a handle strap to more of a wristlet strap.

Since the Chanteuse Frill Wristlet is larger than the 3 zip cosmetic bag, you could even use this as a clutch when you’re on the go.  The three zip compartments are always super helpful for keeping organized. I’d keep all my cards/money in the smallest bottom zip, my cellphone and keys in the middle zip and my makeup essentials in the largest top zip.  You could keep this in your large tote bag (LV Neverfull MM please ) so that you can just pull the wristlet out when you’re running out for a quick errand and you don’t want to carry your full bag.  This would also be great for travel! It would keep your IDs, passports and airplane tickets well organized.  I make those words plural since if you’re like me you need to hold on to the Hubs’ stuff too… haha

LeSportsac 3 zip cosmetic versus LeSportsac Chanteuse Frill Wristlet

Like I told you in my previous reviews, it’s honestly not often I find a print from LeSportsac that I like.  BUT I’m really loving most of the prints from the Manoush collection.  The frills really call out to the girly girl in me but the black fabric with gold hardware keeps the look very mature and wearable.

What do you think about the LeSportsac Chanteuse Frill Wristlet?  Would you use this or wear it as a clutch?  Let me know in the comments below.

Don’t forget! The Bisous Frill Clutch giveaway will be starting THIS Friday 09/21/12.  

1 down, 5 more to go!
Have a great morning and I’ll see you all in the afternoon!

Hi Everyone!

I thought it would be fun to share with you another one of my LeSportsac cosmetic bags – the Square Cosmetic.  The LeSportsac Square Cosmetic was actually my go-to makeup bag for a good 2+ year period.  I picked it up at an international airport in Korea a long time ago.  I loved and still love the design on this one.  It’s not too flashy or too cartoony.

LeSportsac Square Cosmetic $18

It’s on the smaller side of cosmetic bags for me so it makes me choose wisely what I want to carry with me throughout the day.  Definitely can’t accidentally hoard lip products in here. It fills up pretty quickly.

An awesome feature of this bag is that in the back there is a slot to keep your tissues! Isn’t that great? You can never go wrong with having some extra tissues on hand.  I’m not sure if the new square cosmetics also have this feature. You can’t really tell on the website.

Like all my other LeSportsac bags, I love that it’s so lightweight. I hate having a heavy handbag to lug around so I want to keep everything in my bag as minimal as possible meaning no extra heavy makeup bag! It’s also a very affordable alternative.  You can order a square cosmetic for $18 and I’m sure you can find one for much cheaper at the outlet store.

Mine gets dirty pretty easily since it’s all white.  I just realized that the inside tag says do not wash in water. Wipe clean with a moist cloth and mild soap.  I washed mine gently under running water and it’s still fine!

I think the size is pretty similar to the 3-zip cosmetic bag (my favorite travel wallet).  You can probably fit around the same amount of stuff, maybe a little more in the square cosmetic bag.  The square cosmetic is just 1 zipped compartment with an inside gusset for easier access while the 3-zip is obviously 3 zipped compartments.  The 3-zip would be better for organizing smaller items while the square cosmetic is great if you want everything in one place.

It’s a great small-size cosmetic bag and a cute shape! You really can’t go wrong with a small bag like this.  If you find a pattern you like, definitely pick one up!

Wishing you a BEAUTYFULL Tuesday!
