*UPDATE* The winner is #47 laurie. Congratulations!
It’s Macbeth! Although I have to admit I knew the original line but had to google the play :)
And I don’t keep my makeup organized. It is pretty much a disaster. So I could definitely use a bag!
Hope you are all doing well!
I have two drawers for my makeup and they have plastic square and rectangle inserts in them to help sort the makeup into categories like lipstick, eyeshadow, etc. It stays neat and tidy until my two year old son gets into it. He loves to look for stick (chapstick). Although I do have all this space for makeup, I only wear it once or twice a week, if that…
I have makeup all over the place. In this drawer and that drawer and I keep a little bag with my favorites in but sometimes I like a change and can’t ever find what I am looking for. Maybe winning one of these will maybe allow me to find what I am looking for when I want it.
I love trivia and looked up the quote, but google was no help in this case! Looks like it is from Macbeth though, from an earlier comment. Fun.
I am not good at keeping my make-up organized, with the exception being on vacations due to the necessity of a make-up bag. At home, it all gets thrown in a drawer, and on the go, it gets thrown in my purse inside pocket. I should be better about it… ah, well.
I’m terrible about keeping my makeup organized. Especially since Levi is always trying to get into it. It stays a bit messy. Wish I was better about it. I don’t bring much makeup with me when I’m out and about, so that’s easy. Just lipstick…it stays in a pocket in my purse.
I keep my everyday makeup in a little bag that I can grab and take with me if I need to run, but most of it is stored in a cabinet in little bins. I would love to have a bigger and more compartmentalized makeup bag so I have more makeup options on the go!
Congrats again on your little one! I hope all is going blissfully!
I have my main make up in a small make up bag and the extras like eye shadow, lip sticks, etc. in another little make up bag. On vacation, I just zip these bags up and take them with me. Nothing too exciting. Those bags are adorable though. Love the turquoise, purple and lime green colors. So vibrant!
Since having my daughter all I carry is my diaper bag. I miss having a nice purse.
wow…this is inspiring. melissa and i are the same age…here i type wondering how i too can use my gifts to create something unique. i instantly fell in love with her baby bags!! wow…
i am an organizer by nature. i keep all my toiletries (don’t own much makeup) in one boring black case (i’m ready to be conquered) that is ready to go on the fly. :) now that i think of it most of my ‘bags’ are black…sigh…i think i need to be madeover in this area.
I searched the quote and even won a swagbuck. The most I could find was its from MacBeth Something Wicked This Way Comes. I’m pretty sure that’s it.
I am not very organized. I try to be but I’ll grab some make-up and instead of putting it back I just shove it in a drawer because I hate stuffing it back in my little bag. This would be great. Thank you!
I’ve been looking for a new makeup bag–these look very nice.
I have a drawer that I throw my makeup in. It would be so nice to have a bag to put it in and keep it organized. Thank you!
Traveling is a nightmare for my cosmetics right now. They get thrown into (gulp) a plastic grocery bag in the suitcase. Sometimes when I arrive at a destination, the eyeshadows and blush have become one!! I am in dire need of a new makeup bag! Help me!!
i was so excited to read that you, too, are an English buff! i love Macbeth and studied Shakespeare in detail in Oxford during college. anyways, i am still using the vera bradley bag i got in middle school as a makeup bag…it has nearly been beaten into the ground, so it would be nice to transport my toiletries with a little more style!
I like their jet setter bag. Thanks for the chance.
Umm…organized…you mean just throwing it all in a drawer doesn’t count…LOL! My makeup really needs an organization makeover.
And yep, I did know the play! Macbeth!
At home, I’ve splurged and have a nice makeup table for getting ready. But for on the go, my makeup is a jumble. I’d love a great bag.
I wish my makeup was organised. At the moment its all in a random small bag on my dresser. This would be a makeover for my makeup!
What great bags! I love the colors she has available! The Wasabi Green and the Futuristic Yellow are so pretty! And the organization would be great, especially for travel! Great giveaway – thanks for offering!

I really like how simple her products are – as I mom, sometimes I just want a little bit of BASIC in my life! I don’t want everything so patterned!

don’t have it organized- its all over waiting to be rescued
Thank you for the contest~
I am a very organized person, but makeup is just one of those things that is a constant challenge! I appreciate any and all ideas to make it easier. Thanks for the offer!
My make up for on the go is in a ziplock bag in my purse.
send some for my wicked step-daughters!!
I keep my makeup in a makeup bag (nowhere near as nice as this one!) and attempt to put the bag under my sink when not in use, though half the time it just stays on top of the bathroom counter!
I have a drawer full of makeup in my bathroom and a basket on the sink. It sure would be nice to have a place to keep it organized and out of the sight of my girls, who love to get into my makeup. Thank you for the opportunity.
I have segmented drawer organizers that keep things nicely, until I don’t put stuff away & it’s a mess again!
First of all, I would love for my husband to read these comments, to realize that I am not the only woman that has a few organizational challenges when it comes to make-up. I attempt to keep it in a three drawer, plastic container. On the go is a whole different story! Once again, these are colorful, simple and perfect for on the go! Thanks for the chance to win, Steph!
I have a confession! My makeup and other beauty supplies are not organized at all. Everything is scattered all over our bathroom. It’s horrible!! :O( When I need to find something I never even know where to look for it.
What fun bags! I wear a pretty minimal amount of make-up, so I just have one small little bag that holds it all in a jumble. (and, since it sit open on the bathroom countertop, my boys feel free to dig through & play with it!)
I love the vibrant colors of those bags. Gorgeous! My daughter bought me one for mother’s day and I love my dd so much but the bag is so ugly!
Need an upgrade please ;)
i have makeup all in drawers,boxes,i need to organize really bad.
I like the purple passion one. It’s so pretty.
I have all my makeup dumped into a basket and it keeps falling over and breaking my makeup and my husband is sooo irritated. This would be a great win!! Thanks!
I love the purple one!!
I love organizational things! This is a great set of posts! This bag looks like it could replace the myriad of smaller cosmetic bags I have collected over the years. I love all the little places to put things. Thanks for another great giveaway!
I keep my makeup organized in my bathroom linen closet. I have drawer organizers, and I always put my makeup back in the same spot every time so I don’t have to search for it.
The Kiss and Make-Up selection is awesome~
I have makeup in my car, my dresser, my work desk, my bathroom, my moms bathroom!
So this would help keep me organized~
Here is proof of how badly I need something like this- I put everything in zippie bags. While they do prevent leakage or spills (something my best friend could’ve used when her shampoo leaked all over her laptop… shudder), they aren’t so attractive. Or organized. Just ask the airline security.
Oh wow I love all of her bags! So colorful and fun. :) This makeup bag looks really nice and roomy.. I have always used two small ones, it would be great to have it all in one bag! :)
the purple is great mverno@roadrunner.com
I keep my makeup in a sephora train bag
But trust me, I need some organization skills
This would be wonderful to win. Currently I keep all my makeup in a ziploc together..I know..not good. lol
Thank you!
tatertot374@sbcglobal.net
I am bad with my make up. When traveling I throw it in some little makeup bags unless something exploded in it or spill the last time I use it then I just use a zip lock. At home my make up is everywhere under the sink, medicine cabinet and around the sink.
This Kiss Makeup bag is wonderful. I love that this is a very generous sized bag. One that will hold all my makeup. I also love the extra compartments in it.
Thanks so much for this giveaway and please enter me.
I diddn’t know the play . but I know that I sure could use something for my makeup it is scattered all over the place I would love to be able to keep it all together
My make up is in a bag, but is not organized at all!
I don’t really do the make up thing – just mascara and go. I do have tons of makeup tossed in a drawer for those rare special occasions that do require more than 15 seconds of attention. It’s not even remotely organized though.
I love MacBeth! I also love the lime green and silver, Kiss and Makeup bags. They are adorable, practical and genius!
Macbeth!
And I so desperately need this bag. Mine is a medly of pencils, liners, eyelash crimpers, lipsticks, brushes, tweezers and all the compacts that hold my makeup. Its a disgusting mess that I would love to see organized!!

never organized ! I wish ! need some help there …:)
I keep my makeup in a 3 drawer container thingy from Steralite. It’s getting full and I need to upgrade to a bigger one though.
My family would love to WIN this, please enter me and thanks for the great contest!

I have makeup scattered EVERYWHERE!! Shoe boxes, drawers, in my purse, all over the place. I have a small makeup bag, but I change makeup so often it just doesn’t really cut it!!!I had an “Old Navy” makeup bag a few years ago that was awesome. Big, roomy, plenty of compartments, just great! However over time, many makeup spills and mishaps and just wear and tear, it is no more. And as my luck would normally be, I have never found another like it since!!! Also, I believe the play is McBeth!
My makeup is everywhere.
Seeing fun and functional organizational tools/bags/etc. makes me want to be more organized. I just don’t know where to start! As far as make-up goes… I really don’t have too much. Sometimes, I wish there was more, but then again, I’m not too savvy in the putting on make-up department. What I do have is in a drawer in the bathroom and in a make-up bag in my backpack so it doesn’t float all around the entire backpack.
I love their diaper bags! And I so need a new makeup bag, I’m still using a wintry one.
My makeup is a mess both in the bathroom and on the go,so this bag would be a big help in organizing the mess in my purse and on the bathroom sink.
I have a huge cosmetic case that I keep everything in. It is really too big. This would be perfect, especially for traveling!
I would love to win a makeup case so I could give it to my daughter who travels all the time for work. She could really use one and her birthday is coming up so it would make a great gift.
This is so nice, I would have to go buy a new purse to match if I won
My make-up (what little that I do have/wear) is totally chaotic, spread out all over the places that I am. I have a little here, a little there. Makes it easier that way, lol.
I like that the outside is velour. That’s a great touch. Haha. Literally.
I have a little roll-up case I was given by my OB-Gyn. It was originally intended for on-the-go diaper changing necessitie, but it works great for makeup too. I hardly wear any makeup, so I keep it in that little case all the time, and when I go somewhere, everything’s all ready to go!
Right now, I’m actually putting my makeup in a small pocketbook; because I can fit it in my regular pocketbook.
I would love to organize my makeup
I actually have a few small makeup bags right now and would love to have everything in one great bag like this one. Thank you!
The colors are bright and cheerful
I have this huge makeup case that I got from “Santa” for christams because I ahve so much makeup I ahve to be organized!
The two things that make thsi make up bag a must are the double sided zip compartments and
removable inside pouches.
My daughter could really use this – she has so much makeup it’s hard to keep track of it all.
Isn’t color just fun? I like the Wasabi Green “Kiss and Make Up” Cosmetic Bag.
I keep my makeup organized at home with organizers and baskets, sorted by makeup type (eyes, lips, cheeks, etc.)
gkstratos@yahoo.com
I have my make up organized in my bathroom drawer for foundation, lip sticks and gloss, eye make up, etc.
I throw everything into one basic little bag. I don’t wear much so the essentials fit in a small basic pack.
These come in such rad colors.
when my husband remodeled my bathroom, i had him make my vanity so it would keep my make up organized, with separators in the drawers and shelves for my haircare, perfumes & lotions. it’s wonderful
Im horrible at keeping anything organized, make up included! I would love to have this! Thanks!
I think the makeup bag is big enough even for me. I also love the diaper bags. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have mine in about 5 or 6 different sephora bags, the little drawstring ones they send you with your order. It’s a mess. I use bare minerals so I have to go through them all to find what I need, ugh. I’d love one of these cases!
Sorry, I wouldn’t say that my make-up is organized. It’s all over the place. I need help.
Yep, Macbeth, right? Cute title ;). And very cute bags and cases. Fun giveaway!
I love colorful bags – and toiletry and cosmetic bags get icky so fast!
I use some old makeup bags when I travel. I am also a big fan of using ziploc bags to keep items separated and leak-proof.
My sister would love this cosmetic bag. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
I actually keep most of my makeup I use in a makeup bag in my van. I only put some one as I’m driving somewhere. I do have a few items in my half bath on my first level of my house.
My favorite Kiss and Make Up cosmetic bag is the wasabi green.
I keep little pouches in my purse and one zippered case HIGH UP in my bathroom so my six year old won’t decide to play beauty shop!
Thanks! foxsquirrelrabbit at gmail dot com
To be honest, I don’t keep my makeup organized (although I THINK about doing it all the time!). My purse is a treasure trove of forgotten lipglosses! The Kiss and Make Up bag would go to good use here :)
Thanks!
I love the colors and all the organizational “niches” in each product. I’m an organizing fiend, so anything that helps with my mission is great. Thanks for the chance to enter!
P.S. The quote is from MacBeth :-)
Color! Yay! I have to admit…most of my stuff is black and I’m ready for a change. Maybe it is all of this snow (it IS April, right? RIGHT?!) that has me dreaming of color, summer, green, yellow, sunshine! I went and checked out Melissa’s website and I love it. I’m in desperate need of a new laptop bag since I travel for work way more than I want to. I think I’ve just found where I’m going shopping!
At home, plastic bins are my secret to organizing my makeup (and hiding it from little hands). On the go, my purse is not as organized, I’m afraid… I do have a little cosmetic bag, a gift-with-purchase freebie, with a broken zipper!
My makeup is in a basket in my bathroom; I have a small makeup case for my purse for essentials. Thank you!
I use plastic zip loc bags to keep things organized..pathetic, huh?
madamerkf at aol dot com
I don’t really wear makeup, but I keep lip gloss in a little zippered pouch in my purse, so I always have it with me.
I love bags, and I love color! These are lovely!
whoa do I need a makeup bag! I have been stashing everything in my drawer and well, lets just say I can’t find a thing anymore!
I just love MB’s style, classy yet fun!
I have makeup all over the place.
My “organization” is a mess when it comes to makeup, help!
I have no organization when it comes to makeup. I need help!!
Out, damned spot! out, I say! will be what I will be saying to my old ragged, zipper broken makeup case when this beauty arrives at my door. I have a vanity with drawers that I try to keep my makeup in but half the time it ends up on top of the vanity, when I travel I case it, but like I said I am in desperate need of a new case. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Makeup is so hard to keep organized! This would be awesome!
Right now I am having to keep my makeup organized in a Ziploc bag.
I’d love a Kiss And Make Up Cosmetic Bag in Purple Marine! It looks sturdy and would be very useful, and the color is so much fun!
I would love the Kiss and Make Up cosmetic bag! The compartments for things is such a great feature. I’m always digging in mine to find anything.
:) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)
This is a definte step up from my ziplock makeup bag! I like the Kiss & Makeup in Wasabi Green! Thanks!
Like others before me, I have a makeup drawer and to conserve space I keep my comb and brushes in it also. So picture getting ready for a special event. Grab, move, pick off hair, grab, and move. Sounds like dance steps.I have told my family that I am getting organized and this has been my song for years.
That’s a very organized cosmetic bag! (unlike the jumbled mess that I currently have)
I love the bright colors. Tropical Teal is my favorite.
I just recently moved into a smaller apartment and I have absolutely no room for my make-up in my bathroom. i tried one of those kaboodles and it just isn’t working, plus it looks tacky in there. I would love to have a real makeup bag!
I’ve had lots of ugly, plain black travel makeup bags, so it’s great to see the cute & colorful Don’t Leave Me Hangin’ collection.
enter me
Ive been needing a new makeup bag for a while now and these are adorable!
I have makeup scattered all over my dresser and bathroom counter. I really need to get organized. Please enter me.
I love this makeup bag and I need one too!
It looks like very roomy with lots of compartments, so I can be really organized! I like Passion Purple color.
Thanks for the chance
I have a small wicker basket that holds all of my makeup (in the bathroom). It was cheap and servesd it purpose and it looks cute too. I do not have anything to my make up in when I travel lol…I’ve used ziploc bags before lol!
Keeping my make-up organized is pretty easy. I own one lip gloss and haven’t worn make-up in 20 years, but I do think its time I learned to use it again.
At home my make-up is all in one drawer and it can get messy sometimes. On the go – I have a teeny bag. I guess I could use something better.
nice!
They are really nice bags! Wow this would come in handy defiantly! =) thanks so much.
What adorable bags! I think I’d use mine as a pouch for my blood glucose monitor & supplies (I’m a type I diabetic). God bless you.
That makeup bag is cool. I love that it has removeable pouches.
These come in some great colors!!
Thanks for entering me! Great Contest!

I don’t use very much makeup but it is surprising how much room it takes up. It isn’t at all organized and probably most of it should be tossed.
I cannot organize my makeup. I throw it everywhere and it gets my hair and other junk in it
I have makeup all over the place…it would be great to win this fantastic makeup bag so I can get organized. I could actually have ALL of my makeup in one place. Thanks for the chance!
My makeup has seen better days.
I do not wear anything except a moisturizer with SPF and lip gloss, so there is not a lot of organizing.
The makeup bag that I use now must be at least 10 years old and shows it. These are really nice and would be a great replacement.
My makeup isn’t very organized anyplace. I’m certain that if I had a gorgeous appropriate container (fingers crossed) I would do a much better job.
I have a basket on my bathroom counter that I toss all of my makeup in.
i wish i was more organized but i am not. but what helped me with my makeup was one of those three drawer little boxes – i think they are for school supplies. they come in bright colors and the drawers have alot of room. than i just put certain products in certain drawers.
the quote is “something wicked this way comes” i believe….
thanks for the chance to win.
Marc Jacobs has really great make-up bags for both in the bathroom and on the go. That’s what I use!
I am organized with my makeup in the bathroom. I am lucky to have a large area for myself. My everyday favorites are in several small containers on the counter. My extras or special night out make-up is under my conter in a larger container. I would love to win because my travel make-up bag has seen better days! This would be great! Thanks!
My make up I through in a basket in the bathroom and my daughter ends up with it. So in order for me to keep my make up safe I have to put it on a high shelve
I like the Kiss & Makeup in Wasabi Green.
I keep all my makeup in the bathroom and its all together.
My makeup is in a ziploc bag, these cute bags would sure beat that!
Not a shakespeare fan so I wouldn’t have known that. I love the bright and varied colors of these bags. I’d use this for travel for weekend getaways!
Nice giveaway
oh i am not organized at all.
i really need a new make up bag.
I don’t wear much make-up, so it’s easy to keep it organized in my bathroom drawer. I bought a silverware tray and have it all organized in that :)
I keep my makeup in a ziploc bag…this would be great! thanks!
The colors are FANTASTIC! I could use this! Thanks for the chance!!
mogrill@comcast.net
I have a plastic bin I keep my make-up in!
Thanks
Love makeup; so why not spruce up the makeup with the perfect bag; love the neon colors; pink, green many thanks SW
I use a plastic shoebox to organize my makeup and separate into categories inside it.
In the bathroom it’s just in the bathroom vanity cabinet and sometimes left on the sink counter. When traveling it has to be in my purse. kyxsky27(at)gmail.com
I would love to get organize
I love the bag colors. The baby umptios bags look great. Thank you
I’ll admit, when I’m in a hurry, I will certainly put the makeup I’m taking with me in a ziploc. It’s fashionable, no?
I do have some other bags, but the sizes vary and they’re all those cheap little ‘free with purchase’ doodads.
I would love to win the Purple Passion makeup bag!
All my makeup is in an old suitcase from the 70′s!
It may be McBeth but it made me think of Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked this way comes!
I like that there everything can be neatly stored in the bags.
I can use the Baby-Umptious. It will help me keep everything in one place!
In the bathroom I keep my makeup organized in a large oversized makeup bag. I also use small baskets for makeup that I don’t use very much.

I really need a new makeup bag. I didn’t know where the line came from. Thanks to other readers, I now know. You saved me a lot of searching.
I have no organization with makeup and need a neat new bag:)
I don’t have any organization for my makeup. Its usually all over the place! lol! I love the Heather Grey color!
I don’t really have an organization system for my makeup. It’s just spread all over the place.
yeah,.I won….. I really love the colors of all the great bags
