So I’m going through this massive organization faze (I hate
cleaning and organizing!) right now and came across my stack of Ipsy* makeup
bags. Since moving home I have reorganized my makeup into actual trays and
drawers, so I had emptied all of my makeup bags that were of no use. So I knew
instantly that I needed to put these unique and cute bags to use. So what was I
to do?
So some ideas that I came up with:
·
That time of the month emergency holder.
o
So as lady’s (sorry gentlemen reading this),
most of us have periods. Carrying around pads, tampons, cramp meds, etc. can
not only be annoying but if they are loose in your purse or bag it can be hard
to find them. This way all of them are kept together in one area.
o
I personally have a bag that I received at a
student fair that my college was hosting during the first month of school. So I
personally won’t be using an Ipsy bag for this.
·
First Aid Kit
o
This is particularly useful if you have kids or
are prone to accidents. I don’t have kids and am not accident prone (well
bleeding wise, I’m known for running into things and brusing).
o
I’m very likely going to do this as a gift for
one of my best friends who is extremely accident prone. Lord knows we had to
find her Band-Aids at least once a week for one thing or another.
·
Purse Organizers
o
Use one for money, one for cards, one for meds,
one for makeup, and anything else you’d want to organize.
o
Again I personally won’t do this simply because
I have a very small cross-body purse that I use and the bags are too large to
fit into the purse.
·
Gift bags
o
I actually plan on doing this one when Christmas
comes around. I’ll gather all of the Ipsy bags that I’m no longer using and
make unique little gift bags out of each of them.
o
If you’re a bride to be, maybe make the ones
that you don’t use as gift bags for your bridesmaids, mother, and
mother-in-law. Put things like blotting papers, tissues (especially for the mom’s),
nail files, hair spray, deodorant, breath mints, and/or other beauty products.
Make it a little more snazzy by adding a piece of jewelry or if they are over
21 (and you don’t mind them drinking) a mini-bottle of wine.
·
Packing for trips
o
Use them to pack things like period items,
makeup items, jewelry, etc.
o
Make sure to bring a couple extra (if possible)
to store any gifts you might pick-up that you’d like separate or a little extra
protection for!
·
Nail Polish Organizers
o
So I’m a girl that has a lot of nail polishes.
And currently they are all in a box, which is nice and all but can be very
constricting. So I plan on using my Ipsy bags to sort my nail polishes. Until I
can get a nail polish rack for my future apartment or until Christmas whichever
comes first.
o
This way I can sort my nail polishes by color,
versus how they are now by brand because they fit better in the box that way.
These are just some ideas that I came up with if you can
come up with some more please let me know I’d love to hear suggestions on how
to use these!
