I love nice makeup bags and was thrilled when Meredith Jurica of Makeup Junkie Bags contacted me to sample her handmade selection. I also love the fact that she’s a successful female entrepreneur. We ladies need to support each other, right? But what I really love is that her bags are stylish and fun. I’m into color and originality and that’s what her company is all about.
Meredith is the company’s designer and lead seamstress. She and her team in Texas hand sew each of the bags and they’re gorgeous! What sets them apart is that they sit on a flat surface so the contents won’t fall out. A medial zipper makes them easy to pack and grab your supplies. They have water-resistant linings in case something spills. How many times have you dumped your junk?
The company also offers a selection of Mommy Junkie Bags designed for baby supplies and made out of ultra-cute prints. They’re a perfect gift for an expecting daughter or daughter-in-law. If you’re not big into makeup, you can use the bags for jewelry, medicine, first aid items, school supplies, travel documents or even a wet swimsuit.
I tried them out in three sizes
The smallest makeup bag is purse-sized and is handy for quick touch-ups as you go about your day. It also makes an adorable evening clutch.
The medium bag works well for color collections, brush sets, or larger assortments of cosmetics and beauty supplies.
The large bag will store bulky bottles of hairspray, shampoo/conditioner, wet wipes, books, a tablet or a small laptop. And, because it’s water-resistant inside, you could even pack a lunch in it.
I can’t wait to take my collection of makeup bags on my next trip!

These bags are so cute! I have a kind of obsession for make-up bags and have a special section for them in my new closet. You would think I travel a lot!
I’m glad you like them, Doreen. I love the materials they use to make them.
This we are really cute and would make great gifts. Off the check out the website …
Have fun on there. There are lots to choose from.
Agreeing with Helene — these would be great gifts. So colorful and creative. Great find.
The colors and patterns are wonderful. I love the choices.
Really cute and I love that they lay flat – genius!
I do too. Great idea on their part.
I love these, they’re lovely. I enjoy having a variety of bags in my drawer, and then in my purse. I can often color coordinate with my purse!
but when I travel, I usually use ziplocks so I can see right through them and when they leak, because they do, the rest of my things are safe.
I use the ziplocks too in a plane because of the cabin pressure. Nothing like a big mess when you get to your hotel. For regular use,the water resistant lining is great, though.
My daughter and I were just shopping for make-up bags in UlTA and couldn’t find anything to suit.. She will love these and her birthday is next month. So thanks! They look great and I love, love, love that they are lined with plastic for spills!
I hope you find one you like. They’re so cute. And so well made.
Very cute! I am very hard on travel accessories, I have to switch them out, they become ragged!
I know what you mean about being hard on stuff. The bags are quite sturdy and well made.
These are so pretty. I love them! Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Sarah. So glad you think so. They’re so much fun!
