Makeup Bag Fillers

Ashley, on July 29, 2018 at 7:02 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 14

Alright ladies --

Who gave makeup bags to their bridesmaids and what did you put in them? I'm fill with mostly non-makeup items. My ladies are all pretty particular about the type of makeup they use, so I want to go with other cute things. Open to all ideas!

    Um you could do lip balm, hair bows, maybe mini wine bottles lol maybe finger nail polish, files or polish remover. Little lotions maybe. Fill it fill of their favorite snacks with little wine or liquor bottles haha. I feel like there is so many different directions

    You can do wedding day emergency kits.
    Most contain mini sewing kits, bobby pins, safety pins, tylenol, clear polish (for hose runs), blotting papers, stain removal wipes or pens, tissues etc...

    I’m doing these! I’m including a nice organic chap stick, pretty compact mirrors, hand sanitizer, mini dry shampoo, a protein bar, gum, ibuprofen, Bobby pins and last but certainly not least a mini vodka!

    I haven’t put together the thank you gifts for the bridal party yet, however, I did make my bridesmaid proposal boxes that were sent out last week. I include a small makeup bag seen in the photo. I put in a cute nail file, mascara ( because it seems to be the most universal), a beeswax lip bomb, and ended up putting those bridesmaid hair ties in the bag as well. The only makeup product I really had their besides the lip bomb was the mascara and like I said it seemed like something the girls could use no matter the brand. Depending how big your bag is you could create a theme, like spa or like in other posts a recovery kit. Either way iam sure they will enjoy what ever you pick out for them!

    I'm going with a home spa kit, like bubble bath, body scrub, face mask, candle, mini-wine bottle and in the bag itself an ulta gift card. Some think gift cards are tacky, but if they're keeping in theme I think ok.it's ok. My personal opinion.

    You could do like an emergency kit for them. Things like a mini deodorant, definitely a little bottle of wine love the idea, tissues things they may not think to bring extra if. Bandaids for blisters depending on shoes, if you know their shoes side a cheap pair of flip flops.

    What a great idea! I bought each of my BMs matching bags, but I wasn't going to fill them with anything. I think the essentials like, bobby pins and Tylenol, pedialyte packets, tissues, and stain remover would be much appreciated.
