Get out the lipstick, mamas
My makeup lives permanently in my makeup bag, which seems to live permanently on my bathroom counter. Having a pretty bag for my lip gloss is important to me, since I'm looking at it all the time. So when I saw chic Aussie designer (and carbon neutral company!) Apple and Bee's bowling bag, I fell instantly in love.

The bowling bag is technically a makeup bag, and a great one at that, made of beautiful organic cotton canvas in simple, crisp prints, with real leather handles. It stands up on its own and opens wide enough to let you see all the way to that pencil sharpener or spare ponytail holder hiding at the bottom.

This bag would look lovely on your bathroom counter but it's also is also the perfect size and shape for a handbag-- the water resistant lining means you can even toss a sippy cup inside without worrying about the mess.

In fact, it almost seems a shame, honestly, to relegate this bag to the bathroom.  -Susan

Find Apple and Bee bags for makeup and more at Body & Home Organics (nice prices) or The Vitamin Shoppe

Congratulations to Barbara B., lucky winner of the Apple and Bee bowling bag!
