Fun and functional cosmetics bags perfect for carrying your beauty loot

We all need somewhere to stash our beauty loot, so why not have some fun with it?

Makeup bags come in any shape, size and design. There’s something out there for everyone from functional to quirky to super-sized (I’ll take ten, please!). We’ve been on the hunt to find the best that will hold all our beauty loot and maybe raise a smile along the way too. Here are our top picks:

Here are our top picks.

• Tatty Devine Vintage Makeup Case €31.33

If you want to make a statement with your cosmetic bag, this is how to do it. There's something so glamorous about the vintage style cases, isn't there? This one will hold loads of products but also has space for brushes as well. (Available now, reduced from €54 on ASOS.com).

• Oh K Panda Bag €12

We’ve only recently discovered Oh K, but so far we're big fans of their stuff. This little panda bag is right up our street! It’s not massive, so won’t weigh down your bag during the day but has enough space to hold the essentials. Plus, it'd definitely be a talking piece if anyone spies it.

• Bagsy Flamingo Bag €18

You won’t have any trouble finding this bad boy when it’s in your handbag, that’s for sure. A bit of colour never hurt anyone, though! It’s a good size for housing all your daily makeup bits. Plus, we’re loving the pretty print and easy to clean material too. (available on feelunique.com)

• Lola & Gilbert Magic Stuff Bag €19.99

It was the simple, design that caught our eye, isn’t it cute? Technically this is a wash bag so is designed for carrying the likes of shower gel and shampoo. But when we see the words “wash bag” what we actually read is “larger than normal and therefore will fit more makeup stuff”.

• NYX Mesh Zipper Bag €14

Durable and functional, mesh bags are great for anyone who wants to be able to see/find their products quickly and easily. The long rectangular shape makes this bag perfect for holding brushes too.
