Unboxing Beauty

A few weeks ago, Kinzd contacted me to see if I would be interested in trying their wallets.  Kinzd is a Hong Kong company that was founded originally to create affordable slim wallets, using socially conscious materials when possible.  I don’t really use a wallet, but I took a look at their website and saw that they made other items besides wallets ~ such as makeup bags!  And since I am a beauty blogger, makeup bags are a necessity.  I asked if I could review their 3 bags that they had ~ the large, small and travel case version and they sent them to me for review purposes.    I figured that anyone reading my blog also enjoys cosmetic bags as well, and would be interested in seeing what this brand has to offer.  I am boring and picked all black ~ these are a nice deep black but I overexposed my photos a bit so you could see the detail inside the bags.   First up, the Travel Cosmetic Bag Organizer

I am really impressed by this one ~ it is made of nylon oxford, with a nice matte twill finish.  It is waterproof and easy to clean.  This bag sits upright and the top compartment reminds me of those old fashioned doctor bags ~ when you unzip the top, it opens up and has a internal wire tube that keeps it open.  The top compartment is nice and wide and it can fit a lot in there!  For those who own items like Urban Decay’s Naked Palette and Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette ~ those fit in here.  I just put in a few full sized items and I am sure I could put in my full size care routine, day and night, with no issues.  It has a side pockets, one with a zipper and the other side has two pockets that you can slip in your compacts or smaller items.  The zippers are all gold tone and quite sturdy. There is a bottom part of this bag ~ you do need to zip up the top compartment first to access it, otherwise, all of your items in the top will spill out.  This contains a removable makeup organizer ~ it snaps into place and it has 17 slots with plastic protectors ~ you can fit more brushes, eyeliners and lipsticks in there, as they are roomy slots. 

I didn’t take a photo of the makeup organizer out of the bag, but this is a stock photo of how it looks. I like how I can just remove this and have more storage space in the bottom section ~ the makeup organizer folds up flat, so that could go elsewhere in your travel luggage.

I was really surprised by this travel case ~ it is compact, but very roomy and holds a lot of items ~ it measures 9.53 x 6.69 x 5.1 inches (24.20 x 17 x 13 cm) and it really has a wide expandable mouth on the top section and a full 3 sided zip around on the bottom, so you can really open it up.  The inner fabric lining is made from polyester, so it is also easy to clean inside as well. This also has an strap on the outside, so you can carry and hang it up.  Really great when you don’t have a private bathroom and need to lug your skincare and makeup items from room to room.  If you travel a lot or just need a bag where you can carry your skincare and makeup items around from home to work to gym, this is a really nice bag! 

Large Makeup Bag  This is one that I would actually carry to work and back ~ I toss the kitchen sink plus more in my makeup bags.  This bag actually comes in several colors ~ black, red, dark blue and camel-brown.  This is a nice roomy makeup bag made again with the Oxford nylon, which has a nice fine twill weave.  This might fit a smaller pad device, as it measures 12.99 x 7.48 x 3.94 inches (33 x 19 x 10 cm) and will easily fit a phone.  This is very portable despite its size and just like the travel case, it has a side pockets ~ one with a zipper and the other side has two pockets that you can slip in your compacts or smaller items. 
This is really nice and roomy ~ it will fit an UD Naked Palette and ton of other items as well.  It will fold flat when empty but once you start putting items in the bag, the base will unfold so it will sit upright on its own.   This is also really good for the gym or just if you are like me ~ and like to have several different palettes, blushes, brushes and lippies in one bag.  This is also waterproof, with a polyester lining.

Travel (Small) Cosmetic Pouch This smaller version of the larger makeup bag is perfect for your phone, a lippie, credit card/ID and keys!  It can also fit a UD Naked Palette in a pinch, but I don’t really recommend it.  This is very similar to the large makeup bag, as it has a top zipper and it opens up nice and wide.  It will also lay and store flat when empty, but will sit upright if it has items in it, as the bottom expands out to sit flat.  It has one internal zippered side pocket as well.

If you use this with the large bag, this one would be great for small items, like skincare tools, brushes, wipes, cotton pads and so on. It is a small bag, but it is quite roomy at  8.66 x 3.54 x 4.33 inches  (22 x 9 x 11 cm) and like all of the cosmetic bags, its external shell is made from Oxford nylon with a matte twill texture and its interior is a polyester lining, all waterproof and easy to clean.  This comes in a variety of colors ~ black, brown, blue, red, purple and gray.
