My Miss Suki Hold Me Bag Photos- Part Two

Read My Full Review Here: With product Specifications And More Photos

Here is Part Two of My Hold Me Bag review with photos showing how I organized some of my beauty products. It's so roomy I even managed to add my Clarisonic Mia Cleansing System, now that's roomy! I need to apologize for the bright camera flash, I'm looking into getting a new camera because this one is toast and I can't seem to get the settings right. It was an expensive Sony and I don't know what's up with it! Maybe I should buy a thriftier one next time. Please bear with me on this, thank you.

As you can see in the photo you can add super thick brushes in the slots. I could even pack my Smashbox #19 brush in this bag and that brush handle is very thick. I equally added my other Smashbox and thick Bare Essentuals brushes with total ease having more room to spare.

In the center zippered case I added tons of makeup with more packed underneath which you can't see because it's covered up. Not forgetting to add my Too Faced pink travel toothbrush. The Suki print removable liner underneath all that product ensures it's kept clean in case of spills.

The extra side pocket is also very spacious as I could add full size tubes of my Hard Candy Lotions and my large Mia Cleansing System with more room to spare! This is half of what I can store in here and when it was time to close it up I had no problem zipping the case or keeping it closed with the tie.

A fun fact: This bag was modeled after vintage school girl's book bags. How cute! I knew it looked familiar somehow as I'm a classic move fan and if you watch an old black and white movie next time with little children you will see them carrying those charming book bags with the ties.

A Venus Tip: When not traveling with the Hold me Bag and you want to make sure it stays clean without picking up lint or dust store it in a clean lined drawer, a large travel bag or as I did in a vinyl pillow/bedding case with snaps or zippers. This will ensure it's clean and lasts a lifetime.

Stay beautiful! XOXO

My Miss Suki Hold Me Bag Review: Part One

A lovely message from Hold Me Bag Publicity

Taa daaa! The Bag!

It's nice and thick

Limited Edition "Miss Suki" print lines the inside

opened up

inside the zipper compartment-with a side pouch also lined in Suki print

 

 Miss Suki lining is removable-to line the bottom of the zippered case

This will be my Hold Me Bag Part One which will be the actual review of the product and the upcoming post will be Part Two where I will upload my photos and show how I organized cosmetics inside the bag. This was sent to me from publicity along with a lovely thoughtful note thanking me for hosting a successful HMB Giveaway. It was my pleasure and I'm definitely grateful for the brand contacting me to sponsor the contest for my members, giving one lucky winner the prize and for allowing me the opportunity to review one for myself. I will be looking into purchasing another one in the future either for myself (I have too much makeup) or as a gift just as soon as I scrap some more coin together...

The version I was sent was the limited edition "Miss Suki" print. Yes, they have limited editions and if you were in love with the Vanity Dames pattern your out of luck because it SOLD OUT. So if you see a bag with a pattern you like get it fast before they sell out.  I don't know how they read my mind but I love oriental prints.  I should say more obsessed than love and this particular print reminds me of the cutest pink Oriental girl umbrella my mother got for me in China Town when I was younger. It was this adorable pink children's umbrella with ruffles and just about the same print except all in various shades of pinks and the best part was the handle that had a huge round wooden pink knob with tassels and a wooden china doll figurine attached to it. I don't know what happened to it but when I saw this bag it made me think of one of the few happy childhood moments. Why am I telling you all this? Who knows... Just nod your head and read along with my ramblings  :) 

The Hold Me Bag Product Info:

The Miss Suki Bag features interior highlights made from an all-cotton print that has been over-laid with a sleek washable surface. The exterior and parts of the interior are made from Knew Suede, a high-performance, created fabric that is sleek and soft to the touch. This beautiful fabric was chosen for its great personality with traits that include superior shape retention and cleaning. It is easy care, as even the most stubborn make-up traces are easily wiped away. Measuring a compact 10"H x 7"W x 2"D closed, it extends to 22"W fully opened. Original Patented design. Made in the USA. $95.00

Pro: super spacious!, easy to store & travel friendly, separate section for all your brushes, zippered compartment and removable lining keeps spills secure, easy to clean, soft material, fun unique prints, an extra side compartment to hold larger bottles, closes and ties with ease, stays shut, items stay in place

Con: pricey, might pick up lint over time (store in a clean area, drawer or bag)

My results: I'm completely in love with my Miss Suki Hold Me Bag. It's extremely spacious and feels very soft to the touch. I love how there are sections specifically for your brushes so they don't crack, bend or break like in regular travel cases. I tend to buy expensive brushes and love that I can travel with peace of mind knowing they are secure. I also love that it's lined with a plastic print so the suede like material can remain clean even thought you can wash it easily. Not only is it lined but there is a full case size liner with the adorable print that you can remove and use it to cover whatever part of the bag you wish. The side pocket can hold hairspray containers, large cleanser bottles and I even packed my Mia Cleansing Brush into it.

Some points I really love:

Bag is lined to protect from spills

A full case size printed removable liner insert is included so you can cover areas you wish.

Brushes stay in place and don't break.

Large bottles and containers can be stored

Extra side compartment

Zippered case

Case stays shut with the self tie

When not traveling with the Hold Me bag, can serve as a portable vanity

I would definitely recommend this to others especially for the woman who loves to travel and needs great tools to keep her organized. Other than the high price point I really can't think of any con's except that maybe over time it might pick up lint. A suggestion for those of you who have this is to keep it in a clean drawer with a lined handkerchief or store it in a plastic bag to stay clean. I stored mine in a plastic case used when you buy bedding/pillow sets. It works great because the plastic is thick and they usually have zippers or snap buttons on those bedding cases. This product get's a 4.5 starfish rating from me for all the qualities mentioned above. It would have gotten a higher rating if the price was not so high bit if you save for it, you won't regret it because it's worth having. You can always shop the sale events that the website has for a considerable saving. Anyone have this? Would you like to share your thoughts? Stay beautiful! XOXO

Trend Alert: Feather Earrings

If you missed the trend alert during the Spring 2011 Runway shows here's an update on an accessory must have in your summer wardrobe this season- feather earrings. It's one of the hottest trends this year showing up on fashionable celebrity lobes everywhere. From the runway, red carpet and on the street the bird isn't the word but FEATHERS is. And this phenomena doesn't stop with the ear because feathers are a versatile accessory all around gracing gorgeous necklaces, pendants, jackets, purse trim and even shoes. If dazzle me crystals were all the rage a season back it's been replaced by feathers or at least in a close race because let's face it shine & sparkle never lose it's luster. 

The best thing about feathers is that they can really pull a look together and anyone can rock it! You can go bold with pieces that flow languidly down to the neck or wear them short. Either way creating a showstopping look that also accentuates your hairstyle. Conservative? Feel like these might scream wild child? Opt for the more natural neutral tones. Want to be the center of attention?  Add a colorful pop to a dull outfit with hot neon shades such as bright fuchsia, turquoise, purple and orange that are trending colors this season. Rock n Roll much? Choose a pair with metal dangling hardware. And you need not own a full on Bohemian wardrobe to wear these because they can be paired with hip flared denim, a sexy night on the town dress and even with a more demure two piece ensemble. The added touch of these delicate nature inspired feathery wisps add a certain  chic, classic and feminine touch complementing any style.

A fabulous affordable little luxury available at various price points, colors, and  length that every woman can pull off as well as being a great investment piece. Feather's are one of those accessories that eventually turn up every season or so. Grab yourself several pairs and you'll always have them on stand by. I personally can attest to this because in my entire lifetime from toddler, tween, teen and up, feather accessories have always been a part of my life. Fly solo or flock with your friends to your fave boutique or outlet center this spring and happy shopping my fine feathered friends. Stay beautiful! XOXO 

On a personal note: My favorite recollection was back in junior high when girls were stabbing each other in the back to see who could wear the prettiest (and the most) feathers in their hair. Ah....childhood memories. Even thought I'm glad I managed to save a few pieces I'm certainly buying more because they are ten tines the fabulousness than they ever were back then. I managed to snag a purple pair for only $8.00 and can't wait to grab some more. Which one's will you buy?

P.S. PLEASE PURCHASE FEATHERS LABELED MAN MADE OR SYNTHETIC

YOU MUST CHECK LABEL-SOURCE OR CONTACT WEBSITE IF PURCHASED ONLINE

Keep in mind some genuine feathers are harvested cruelty free without any harm to the birds because they shed and pluck their own feathers during mulching process several times a year. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING THIS OUT IF ITEM IS NOT LABELED. Some online web merchants such as HOT TOPIC sell stylish man made feather jewelry for low prices. BE CRUELTY FREE. THANK YOU
