Review: Vemayca Cosmetic Bags


Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing the Vemayca Cosmetic Bags. They come in two colors: black and red. Each one retails for $35 and if you buy two items off of their site, you get free shipping. These chic, classy, and luxurious bags were created by Veronica Mayo who was a former American Airlines Marketing Executive who spent like her entire life on the plane and needed a better way to organize her makeup in pretty bags. According to her, these bags are perfect for busy moms and ladies on the go and I have to say that I agree. Keep reading to see my full review on them!

Pro(s):
-Very big and spacious for storing makeup.
-Chic design which is good for everyday.
-You can ALWAYS get the interior dirty since there will always be another liner to change so it will never look dirty!

Con(s):
-For an everyday drugstore woman, it might be a little too pricey!
-I wish that they had more colors of bags available.

Overall review: I really like the removable liner concept. Even if it gets dirty, you can easily replace it with another one. I know that I previewed this review to some people and they were like “OMG I’ve got to have that”. It’s a very cute idea. This cosmetic bag actually fits all of my everyday makeup and believe me when I’m saying that since I go around with like an entire train case worth of makeup. Its exterior is a velvety material that I love oh so dearly. These are actually great to give as gifts and to give to your girlfriends. I wish that they had more colors available though. Thanks to Anika for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!

Review: UNII Palette


Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing the UNII Palette. The name origins from the palette being UNIQUE minus the QUE. This palette retails for $29. It comes in 5 amazing colors; pomegranate which is red, twilight which is blue, lemongrass which is yellow, eggplant which is purple, and snow which is white. If you buy three or more, they’re $27 each and two are for $56 which makes each palette $28 each. To purchase it, I will have a link in the side bar.

Pro(s):
-Compact to carry in a purse or clutch with you.
-The palette itself isn't magnetized but they provide extra magnets to put on your shadows, blushes, and etc. Everything has to be magnetized.
-Huge mirror and thumb grip so you won’t lose your grip on it.
-Rubberized seal which could be removed to be washed.
-Ideal for makeup artists on the go.

Con(s):
-None found while the testing was conducted of this product.

Overall review: I think that this palette is a really neat idea. It’s amazing and very compact to carry around. I actually depotted one of my MAC Bronzers and stuck a magnet to them and put them in this palette and I had a bronzer to go with me everywhere I went. In the picture, you see my 3 MAC Blushes and 1 LancĂ´me shadow as well as a Clinique shadow. The box is really cool because it folds out to instructions. I really like these palettes. Thanks to Ashlee for requesting this review!

Review: Z-Palette by Zena Shteysel





Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the Z-Palette by Zena Shteysel. It retails for $20 on zpalette.com and they also have a store locator. It comes in a variety of prints, but the one you see above is the one I have. It made of cardboard and plastic but it’s durable. They also have smaller palettes too for $14. They also sell pre-cut magnets to stick to your pans of makeup. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-Magnetized.
-Environmentally friendly.
-Travel friendly.
-Compact and easy to use.
-Very durable materials!

Con(s):
-No cons!

Overall review: I really love this product. It’s a lot like MAC palettes except you can fit any brand of makeup pans in here. I like that’s it made of thick cardboard and plastic so this way it doesn’t so much harm to the environment. I got a couple of these after receiving the sample for my review because I really love everything about them. The convenient thing is that they’re also magnetized. I just hope that Teresa enjoys it as well as everyone else, but Teresa requested it. Thanks!

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, as soon as my personal makeup collection gets bigger, I will be purchasing more of these for my panned cosmetics.

Review: Magnapods Cosmetic Organizer




Hey girls. As per request, this post will be teaching you about a new revolution in makeup organization; sort of. I recently was sent the Magnapods and these are little storage units that fit inside your medicine cabinets. They are narrow enough that they fit between the space you have left between the shelf and the cabinet door. They are already magnetized and have a choice of fixed dividers or dividers that you can remove. They retail for $9.99 from magnapods.com and I have the link in the right bar. In the picture, those are the three that you get. Two of them are used for small items and the other one is more of like a brush holder. In the picture, you see the 4 section organizer I use for my everyday lip products. Then, I use the brush holder for my three most commonly used eye brushes everyday and the last picture shows the five section organizer which holds my everyday face items as well as my brush guards. I actually pulled out two of the dividers to put my Revlon Palette. Keep reading for my review.





Pros: The fact that you can take out the dividers really got me going. It’s easy and versatile to use and the organizers are nice and small. If you’re one of those people who have a vast lipstick collection then this organizer is for you. I bet you can fit a lot of these in your drawer too if you have a huge chest full of makeup. I use it in my traveling train case and I really enjoy having these with me because before a lady makes an appointment with me, I figure out what I will use on them and this keeps everything nice, neat, and organized. It’s a great investment and at just $10 for 3 organizers, it really a great bang for your buck.

Cons: No cons!

Overall review: I love this and it great for anything at your home. If you have a small makeup collection and want to keep everything you have compacted and altogether, then this is for you. The box looks like those “As seen on TV” boxes, but it’s not. Their website is pretty cool, but most things are in the making. Also, whoever asked me about this, well here s your answer sweetie. Thanks to Magnapods, this review was possible. I hope you girls think this is a good investment and get it because it saved my life.




Would I purchase it again? : Definitely!

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Of course; it’s really good for all of you unorganized chicks out there!
