Makeup Kit Revamping!!! Part I (Pic Heavy)

Hey, Glamour Dolls

I've mentioned before that I've wanted to revamp my professional makeup kit. I've been inspired by the makeup trade shows that I've been attending, plus I've completely out grown my current makeup kit.

I bought a new Zuca Artist Backpack to revamp my kit. If you haven't heard of Zuca, they're a company that makes carry all cases and luggage for just about everyone. Zuca has an artist series for makeup artists and hair stylists that make hauling around a kit so much easier and convenient.

I really wanted to purchase the Zuca rolling bag with the four plastic organizing pouches in it but it costs over $300, even though my makeup artistry business is growing, it doesn't justify buying a $300 carryall. So, I decided to buy the more cost effective backpack which is $129. Here are the pictures!


It's a backpack but it comes with a handle to carry in your hand. 


Front part that zips up from top to bottom.


 The left panel comes with clear pouches to carry items.

The left panel has four pouches to store items, you can also remove the two main utility pouches to carry whatever. 

The backpack comes with two small utility pouches, the inside can carry up to four utility pouches.

It also comes with two side pockets on the left side. 
The right side comes with more pockets plus a thermal pocket to store hot items. 

Adjustable straps for carrying. 
This pic gives you an idea of how secure the straps are when carrying the backpack. 

So far so good, I really like that it has so many pockets and compartments to keep things organized. Also, it can be used as a  mobile work station when making up clients, you just pin back the left panel and  work from out of the backpack...another feature that I like. I have a train case plus a rolling bag that I'm going to condense to fit in to this backpack. I wonder if I'll be to fit all of it?


My next post will show my results!

Great bag! I've seen this on Ebay. It looks great. I like the idea of being able to carry it on your back and being hands-free.

Thanks Lynnie!

Being able to carry it on your back is so convenient, it holds a lot too. I'll have the pics with all my stuff in it soon.

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger,  Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red in...
