The new Urban Decay Quinceañera Makeup Bag ($26, available now at Sephora stores and online) isn’t exactly helping me master how to pack light.
But who cares?! It’s party time! — a sweet 15 of sorts, aka a quinceañera — and Urban Decay is bringing the fun.
They released the limited edition bag to celebrate their 15th birthday, bedecking it with purple and sparkles, and like any good birthday it comes with a surprise: it holds a TON of stuff!
Just how much stuff? Well…
12 cans of cat food
Or…
Two Urban Decay Blockbuster Eyeshadow Palettes
Or…
39 pieces of Urban Decay makeup
Or…
6 body butters and 1 body wash
Or…
7 full-size bottles of face cream (with room to spare!)
Or…
5 surf tees
Or…
40 tea bags (or two boxes) of tea
Or…
3 cans of beans
Or…
76 assorted tubes of lipgloss
I love how wide the bag opens because it makes it so easy to find what I’m looking for inside. And I love how easy it is to clean. Just wipe down the inside and outside with a wet towel.
Happy birthday, Urban Decay! 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
i love this post and how many different things can fit into that bag!
i think its a great buy!
LOL! Karen, this is why I LOVE your blog! Hilarious. Hope your Sunday has been fabulous. 🙂
So spacious! 🙂
The beans made me laugh lol. Im so envious of your UD collection!!!
When I saw cans of cat food stuffed in the bag, I knew Tabs was behind this! But anyways, this is a HUGE bag. Way to go, Urban Decay!
Brillant post, I love how indepth your way of showing us what it can hold is! Sleepy time vanilla tea? That sounds like my kind of cuppa!
Now, I really need to look for this bag here. It’s really amazing how much stuff it can carry! Just the kind if pouches/bags I need. When I saw it online, I was like…oh well, it’s a pouch. But now…. Oh wow! That’s a huge pouch!:D
Haha this post is hilarious! That’s a lot of lipgloss!!!
Karen, this post cracks me up! I love your style!
Wow- thats pretty roomy!
girl you had nothing else to do.. !
Too too funny! Now talk to us about having 7 containers of the same face cream…
Haha! Most of them are empty. I’ve been saving them to do something artsy.
WOW that is crazy!!
I’m loving that Hawaii shirt lol
w0w! that is a big makeup bag! Wish there were compartments inside considering the size…love the graphics on the lining though 🙂 & the color & sparkles!
Ha! the beans and the car food made me laugh. That is a HUGE makeup bag!
LOL! Oh my god, love love love this post, Karen ^^
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Love this post–that’s a LOT of shizz!
HAHAHA! This post made my day! Now I want this bag and I don’t even need it!
I don’t need that bag and I can’t afford it…but i WANT it! lol damn you Urban Decay!
By the way Karen, have you ever thought of doing a blog sale or selling on ebay? You can’t possibly need ALL of those lipglosses *crosses fingers*
You are amazing. That is all.
Haha, I LOVE how creative you got with this! I might have to pick up a few for my trip to Los Angeles!
1) “Yes, That Is Gravy” cracked me up.
2) Your UD stash is enviable. Coveting the 24/7 shadow pencils!
3) By the time you got to the tea, I was giggling nonstop. The beans put me over the edge…and I’m tired, so I’m sitting on the couch, snickering slap-happily, while my husband stares. He knows not to ask. 🙂
This is just too cute! :] thanks for letting us know how HUGE it is! LOL
that’s a lot of things that you can put in the bag! 12 cans of cat food!!! O_o
I’m glad that you showed us that 3 cans of beans can fit into the bag. It is quite the fabulous bean bag. Get it!?! BEAN BAG!!!!! Oh yeah!
I thought I didn’t need this, but your very informative photo essay has shown me how wrong I am.
I have to say, the cat food sold me. I instinctively looked at the cabinet to see how many cans I have, you know… to use as a unit of measurement! 😉
Oh great, now Sweet Pea will not rest until I buy her one as a suitcase for trips to the kennel.
I think the bag is really cute but I have so much of that sort of thing — though I probably couldn’t have resisted if they’d put some little freebies in it! Years ago I bought a little pouch from them that was full of untested testers. It was a great buy!
Your post is hilarious and so helpful!! =D I love this bag now! 12 cans of cat food?! Awesome! My cat will love it too! And I can’t help but notice that you have a ton of face creams!!! LOL
Ahaha! I love the creativity of this. I was chuckling as soon as I saw the gravy cans.
Oh my! Somehow I imagined his bag was smaller!
This is why you’re awesome karen lol… Love you and this blog!!
That’s HUGE! And what an excellent way to demonstrate its size 😀
I want one! I don’t need it, but I want it…it’s pretty and sparkly and purple…SOLD.
OMG. There has got to be a black hole in that bag, because it looks so much smaller than it how much it holds! Also, I LOVE Sleepytime Vanilla tea 🙂
Best. Post. Ever. 🙂
i ordered mine the day it came out… when it arrived i was a bit bummed to see that it didn’t have paper or cardboard to keep it from getting smashed, so it was pretty sad looking. i put a heavy book inside it and after a few days, the bottom of it was flat again like it should be (the sides are still a little wrinkly, but it was the bottom that bothered me. but when i went to take it up to my stash, i noticed a huge spot where a seam isn’t sewn together! ugh! and of course since i’m a nanny, my invoice is no-where to be found. i’m sure they still have the order on record (and i have the confirmation email) so they better exchange it!
I love how you illustrated how much that bag holds. It was too cute (even though I was a little scared that Tabs might come after you for taking his gravy)!
That bag makes me think of the one that Mary Poppins had in the movie. I was waiting for you to show a ficus tree shoved in there (with plenty of room left over for makeup and/or gravy)!
wow i never would have known you could fit so much stuff in there. when you put two of the large UD palettes in there..wow. i like this bag!
Or. 76 tubes of assorted lipgloss!
xx
OMG– one of my favorite posts of yours… EVER. Hahaha!! I love your humor~ and I love this bag!! I need something that will hold all of my “daily” wear, lol!! (Note: *I tend to pack about 4 different looks into my “daily” bag.)
i love that you spent so much time looking! it’s fabulous!
Beans! 😀
12 cans of cat food?! Impressive! 🙂
Haha! Great post. I can just see you thinking “Now what can I put in the bag next? I know….cans of beans!” That is an impressive makeup bag to hold that much survival food. AND its purple. I love purple and so do the cats,
LMAO at this post. That bag is totally adorable though! I need it! I love to carry waaaaay too much stuff and I love purple sparkles.
AHAHAHA!
this is why you are awesome 🙂
Love it, hee hee this made me smile! 🙂
I must have this bag. It fits everything. I literally LOL’d at the 3 cans of beans for some reason.
oh goodness, tee-hee loved all the visuals.. 12 cans of cat food! lol* 3 cans of beans LOLOL
This is probably one of my favorite posts. Ever!
Ok, I’m sold!
HAHAHAH love your creativity! I’m torn between saying “geez, that’s a lot of cat food!” or “holy lipgloss!”
I love your creativity ! <3
I found this post very entertaining. Thank you! I didn’t think I needed another bag, but this one is really pretty, and practical!
Oh, my, God. HAHAHA Cat FOOOOOOD, surf tees, etc etc. Crazy!!!
hahaha favorite post ever!!!! if this doesnt sell the product, i dont know what will lol. thanks for bringing a smile to my day once again karen <3
Very much enjoyed your scientific research in to the bag’s capacity!
As I was reading I kept wondering if the next demo would be “one husky tabby cat” and his little face would be poking out! I guess he’ll just have to use it to carry his modelling stuff from shoot to shoot instead. And when I say carry, I mean have his assistant carry…
<3 ur pics 🙂 Now I want the bag even more! Thanks!
i dont like that kinda bags. yes, you can stiff it up wit loads of makeup, but you will have to take all that out in nighclub ladies room, just to find one damn lipstick 🙂
i want some kind of train case, but soft , like bag, wheres my makeup is organized
lol! canned cat food <3 it's amazing how much that can hold =D but it doesn't seem very organised as a daily makeup bag. It'll make a good travel luggage bag for all the skincare though.
This post is so fun. This bag is very spacious, incredible!
haha is it weird the cans of beans gave me the best indication of its size? i really want this for use a a toiletry bag, the material looks good, its cute of course, and theres an inside pocket?
very creative post karen! 🙂
You’re fricking awesome. 😉
Whoa! Talk about dedication to the (makeup) cause! Haha….
(Seeing the can of kidney beans reminded me of my grandmother….you know, rice and beans and all…..)
This is absolutely hilarious and probably the best piece of unintentional marketing UD could ask for. Thanks for making my morning! =)
Lol! This post is great XD
Wow! great bag and I love that it’s purple and sparkly!
I love this post because it reminded me of my non-quinceanera yay! Let me tell you, you dont need more embarassing pictures of you that young with that much hairspray, I asked for a bag and a fancy watch and it’s the best decision I have made next to always buying the full fat cream cheese.
Hugs
i really like that bag! and i like your table too hehe
Three cans of beans! You are hysterical. Thank you for making me laugh tonight, I really needed it. You are the best!!!
lol! great post 😀
holy schmolly.
i want your job!
Awesome! haha looks like you had fun with this one! Where did you get the green wahine shirt? I LOVE it!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA amazing. After all, when I travel, I want a nice, sturdy bag to transport all my Fancy Feast! 😀
Hey Karen, Love, love your blog! I have a question! In the “Lipgloss” picture in the upper left hand corner what is the name of that hot pink ligloss from Chanel?! <3
lol how in the world did i miss this post?!
