Alright, let’s talk about these “aka cosmetic bags,” or whatever fancy name they got these days. You know, the little bags where us gals keep our face paints and whatnot. I’ve seen a whole bunch of ’em, from the plain ol’ ones to the sparkly, glittery ones that catch your eye.
What are these bags anyway? Well, they’re just little bags, see? Some are big, some are small, some are made of plastic, and some are made of cloth. You use ’em to carry your makeup, your brushes, your little mirrors, and all that girly stuff. I remember back in my day, we didn’t have nothin’ like this. We used old flour sacks or whatever we could find! But times change, I guess.
Now, you can find these bags everywhere. I’ve seen ’em at the big stores, and I’ve seen ’em at the little flea markets. They got all sorts of prices too. Some are cheap as dirt, and some cost an arm and a leg. You can get a plain one for a few dollars, or you can get a fancy one with your name on it for a whole lot more. I saw one the other day, it was all pink and green and had some letters on it… looked like “AKA” or something. Lord knows what that means, these young folks and their abbreviations!
- Plastic ones are good ’cause you can wipe ’em clean. Spill your powder? No problem! Just wipe it right off.
- Cloth ones are prettier, maybe, but they get dirty quicker. And good luck gettin’ that lipstick stain out!
And the sizes! My goodness, they got bags as big as your head and bags as small as your thumb. The big ones are good for travelin’, I guess. You can stuff everything in there, your lotions, your potions, your curlers, the whole shebang. The little ones are good for just carryin’ a few things, like your lipstick and your powder. I like the little ones myself. Less to carry, less to lose.
Some of these bags, they got pockets and zippers and all sorts of compartments. You can keep your brushes separate from your makeup, which I guess is a good thing. Keeps things organized, they say. I just throw everything in one bag, myself. Ain’t got time for all that fussin’.
Then there’s the “custom” bags. That’s where they put your name or your initials on the bag. Or maybe some fancy design. I saw one with some kinda Greek letters on it… Alpha Kappa somethin’ or other. Sounded mighty important. Guess those sorority girls like to show off where they belong. Good for them, I say. Everyone likes to feel like they belong somewhere.
Where to buy ’em? Like I said, everywhere! You can go online, you can go to the store, you can even make your own if you’re crafty like that. Me? I just get mine at the drugstore. Cheap and easy, that’s my motto.
So, there you have it. The lowdown on these “aka cosmetic bags.” They’re just bags, really. But they help us gals keep our stuff together, and that’s a good thing in my book. Whether you want a plain one or a fancy one, a big one or a small one, it’s all up to you. Just find one you like and go with it. Ain’t no right or wrong way to carry your makeup.
And don’t forget, just because it’s got a fancy name or a high price tag doesn’t mean it’s better. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Just like a good ol’ flour sack back in the day.
