Beauty Envy Bag
Are you a beauty sample subscriber? Never heard of the Beauty Envy Bag? That is because it is something new the four of us beauty bloggers decided to put together. The Fall Edition is the inaugural Beauty Envy Bag. This is what a beauty bag of goodies should look like. Full sized items, deluxe samples (not tiny bits of product swiped onto a card), and with a beauty bag so nice you can wear it on a night out. Luxe brands fill this bag. This was a lot of fun for us to put together, choosing items the we have used and love and being able to share them with one of you. This is something we hope to do quarterly, so look out Winter Edition!
Since some of you reading this may not know all of the bloggers involved, we would love to introduce ourselves:
 |
Lakeisha is a nail polish blogger from Florida. She is obsessed with polish, fashion, and merging the two together. She is the blogger behind Refined and Polished. |
 |
Latoya is a beauty blogger from the East Coast of Canada. While she loves all things girly, she’s also a closet gamer and is a die-hard Walking Dead fan. She is the blogger behind Beauty Obsessed. |
|
|
Leticia is a beauty blogger from the Pacific Northwest. She is a dog lover, sci fi nerd, handbag collector, and makeup junkie. She is the blogger behind Cosmetics Aficionado. |
|
|
Lola is a Midwest blogger with a passion for polish, science, and music. She is the blogger behind Burb Beauty. |

I love pretty much everything about beauty bags!I love getting to try new products,especially ones that I may never have considered,and I am obsessed with travel sized products.
I guess the only thing I don’t like would be that the products might not all work for me,but that’s fine,it’s better than buying a full size product and finding out that I hate it.

I like trying new products. I hate that you get sometimes get products you’ll never use!

“tiny bits of product swiped onto a card” I couldn’t say it any better! I hate that
Urban Decay has started doing that with their shadow & lipgloss samples. I feel kind of gross wiping something off a card, not to mention there’s usually not enough to really sample it.
My fav. thing is getting to try products I wouldn’t usually buy- I’ve fallen in love with stuff through giveaways/subscription boxes that I expected to dislike. I also love boxes that give you $$$ products for $ price

For some reason, I can’t see any of the photos you’ve included in this post, although I’m not having that issue with any of your earlier posts. Weird…..

I can’t see the photos either :/

Love–I love trying new things!
Hate: Tiny foil package samples!
#10 by Brenda Penton on September 22, 2012 - 8:50 pm
I can’t see photos either.
What l love about beauty bags: Getting to try before I buy, and learning about new products.
What I hate about beauty bags: The size of some of the samples, getting products that are useless.
#11 by Latoya on September 24, 2012 - 7:38 pm
I think I’ve fixed it now Brenda! (I hope!)
#12 by Amy on September 23, 2012 - 7:42 pm
Yay giveaway!! I like that beauty bags give you the chance to try a bunch of products (and I like that they’re smaller sized, which is nice for travel/I feel less bad if I end up hating it), but I don’t like the inevitable products that I have no interest in or that don’t work out for me. If all beauty bags were like this one, though, the world would be a much better place
#13 by Latoya on September 25, 2012 - 9:19 pm
Aww, thanks Amy

I love beauty bags because I am obsessed with travel sized products!They’re great for trying new things and perfect for throwing in my makeup bag without taking up tons of space.
#15 by my3sons33 on September 24, 2012 - 11:07 pm
I love the chance to try something totally new. I don’t like teeny tiny samples that aren’t even enough for one application.
#16 by happygrape2 on September 25, 2012 - 12:05 am
Thank you for great giveaway. I like to try all new products.
#17 by kara lopez on September 25, 2012 - 12:56 am
Love this!

What a cute idea!! And this bag is SERIOUSLY awesome, Toya–you guys did an amazing job putting it together. I want everything in it!!
I haven’t tried a beauty sampling service yet, but (from what I’ve read/seen), what I like about them is the fact that you do get to try some really great products/new brands that you may not otherwise have tried. My least favorite thing is the stupid tiny perfume sample vials. You can get those free at any department store–I don’t want them in a bag that I PAID for!! It also bugs me when I see those boxes that include non-beauty items (like granola bars. REALLY?!?)

Thanks Becca, I’m so glad you’re excited for it! It was a lot of fun to put together

I love beauty bags because of the size of products. But I don’t like that some producst in the bags are not for me and t.hey put them there just to fill the box…
#21 by Stefanie Gladden on September 25, 2012 - 11:45 pm
I love the new products I get. I dont care for lotion samples at all.
#22 by Despina on September 27, 2012 - 2:54 pm
What i love: using new products that i have never tried before
what i hate: some of the products might not be suitable for me

What a great idea! Normally I wouldn’t enter but I want Zoya Fei Fei.
Frankly, I want to see some BIG NAMES in my box. No drugstore stuff – we can buy those for ourselves at any time. I think it’s the best when samples of cult favourites show up in a box!
#26 by Arra Morta on October 1, 2012 - 3:59 pm
Love; lots if vice products
Hate: some drugstore stuffs
#27 by Marija Pupić-Bakrač on October 3, 2012 - 4:15 am
I love that you can try the products and see if they fit you.I guess that i hate that when they fit me the sample is to small and I can use it only a few times.
#28 by fatema on October 3, 2012 - 8:40 am
love: new things
hate: oh yeah small sizes!
#29 by Elisabeth on October 3, 2012 - 5:19 pm
I love that I can try items I wouldn’t have normally chosen. Sometimes I feel like you get the “rejects” though… but not this beauty bag!
