Two-minute organising project – decluttering your make-up bag

Monday, June 8th, 2009
How are you enjoying the quick, 10-minute clutter busting projects?

Well, this one is for the ladies and is even quicker….unless you really do carry lots of stuff with you!

I like my handbag to be really organised so when there are things that don’t have a space, I usually throw it into my make-up bag so at least they’re contained.

And that’s why I need regular decluttering of my make-up case.

I throw it all out so I can see properly just what’s in there….

Then I eliminate the things that I don’t want in there… so that only essentials remain in the pink mesh bag.

How often do you declutter your makeup bag?

If you haven’t done it for a while, that’s your organising challenge for this week.

Today I’m reviewing something just for the ladies

See this red handbag?

Isn’t it gorgeous?

I only have one problem with it – it only has one GINORMOUS cavity and a cell phone pouch so I usually have to use 3 mesh bags to keep my things all organised.

In fact, this is the problem whenever you’re like me and you LOVE handbags and then you have to change them around all the time to match your clothes or your mood ……………. :)


So when Sandy sent me a pouchee, I couldn’t wait to put it to the test. Here’s the inside of my bag. My camera, deodorant and planner are loose but it is so easy to just grab the pouchee and transfer my stuff from one handbag to another.


for your cell phone and bank cards

for sunglasses and ? – I keep hair bands in here so I can tie my hair up in this Jhb heat

look how much it expands

there’s a slim pouch for my tissues and year planner and two bigger pouches – one for makeup, nail polish and lip gloss, and the other for my wallet. There are two really cute little pockets for lipstick (my lip gloss is there) and if I want to keep pens, I can use the other one.


What I loved

  • There are SO many pockets which make it really, really functional.
  • Very easy to use – organise once and as long as you return things to their place, your handbag should stay organised forever.
  • It’s made very well – I don’t even think I could break it and I tend to bash things around
  • The price is great ($21,50 for cotton and $22,50 for leatherette – I’m drooling over the moss-green leatherette – yummy!)

What could be improved?

I would have liked it to be a bit bigger (or maybe have one in a bigger size). However, for something so small, it expands to hold a lot of stuff.

Head on over to Sandy’s site to see all the gorgeous Pouchee colours and have a tissue handy – you’re likely to drool on your keyboard!
