Design Your Own Makeup Bag With Sewlomax

As some of you may know, I'm an ambassador for Sewlomax! I have a few reviews of their products on my blog, including the *Sewlomax Cream Lipstick Print Pouch (here) and the *Sewlomax Lipstick Pop (here), both of which I genuinely love and use often. When I was offered the opportunity to use the new Sewlomax service/app to design my own makeup bag, I jumped at the chance!

For the app/tab on the website to work you need to have Google Chrome, which I didn't as I always use safari so I had to download it. There are three bag style options available, I picked the *box shape. The bag prices are all the same - £30. You can then choose the bag colours, I chose all grey as one of my favourite makeup bags from Sewlomax is the grey lipstick print pouch which I love. 

You can then add on the images to the bag such as makeup, hearts, stars, perfume bottles and holiday themed items. Rotating, resizing and changing the colour of the images to quick and easy. I chose the makeup images as I am a beauty blogger and I wanted my bag to be beauty blogger themed. The collage above shows the design process and some of the other designs I came up with. You can lay one image over the other so it creates a shadow/3D effect which is what I did with mine. There is a good choice of thread colour as well as images although hopefully with time they will bring out more images and thread colours as well as fonts, if possible.

The design process was easy, simple to follow and fun too, I could have spent more time experimenting with different designs, colours and styles! Here is the final design, I love it! I love the red and white threads overlapping on the lipstick image and I think all of the images look fantastic. I would recommend not making the images too small as they might not look as good as larger images. 

The bag size is perfect as is the shape, it will fit a lot of makeup and toiletries in - I will definitely be taking this bag on holiday with me this year. The bag is made to a high standard, it is soft and padded and it is perfect for a beauty obsessed blogger like me! 

Overall, I think these personalised bags would make amazing presents as they can be made however you want, with numerous images, text and colours. I personally love the box shape bag as it is so spacious and I am very happy with the end result. As each bag is hand embroidered and personalised, the manufacturing time is longer than the other bags - approximately 2-3 weeks.

Christmas Gift Ideas: Sewlomax Lipstick Pop

As some of you may know, I am a Sewlomax ambassador; I have mentioned and reviewed them on my blog numerous times. I was kindly sent one of their newer releases - the Lipstick Pop! You may have seen this on my dream wish list post (here). 

I have the *Red Lipstick Pop (£15) although there is also a pink version which is equally as cute. I love the giant lipstick shape/design, I think it would be great as a fun clutch bag as well as a great makeup bag. As the bag is quite long and thin, it would be a great size to fit in a handbag; also as it is quite long at 29cm it will be great for makeup brushes! I find that the one thing my many makeup bags don't accommodate are my makeup brushes but this bag would solve that problem! 

I think this bag would make a great christmas gift as a lot of women love makeup but it can be difficult to buy makeup for other people so this would be a great alternative to makeup but it is still beauty related. I also think it is a really unique gift, I haven't seen any makeup bag like this before and it is really well made and as it is embroidered by hand, it is extra special! 

There are so many makeup bags and toiletry bags available as well as glasses cases (mens and womens), camera cases, leather bags, purses, tablet cases, wash bags and pencil cases so there is something for everyone - click here for more information. Also some of the products can be personalised, I have a personalised lipstick pouch!

Review: Sewlomax Lipstick Print Pouch

I was very kindly sent this makeup pouch/bag by Sewlomax (via sale servant) and I have noticed their makeup/toiletries bags on social media sites and in print too so I definitely wanted to try one of their products. Honesty as always check out my disclaimer, here. 

I have the *Sewlomax Cream Lipstick Pouch (£25). It was really difficult to decide between the cream and grey bags and also the glasses cases are adorable! I picked the cream version as I love the contrast in colours between the cream, black, red and gold detailing. Firstly, the presentation is just amazing, I love the box it comes in - it would make a gorgeous gift! The paper it came in is equally fantastic and I LOVE the attention to detail such as the tag and stickers. 

Now onto the pouch, I love the lipstick design on the front, I think it looks so cute and original. I adore the whole design and colour scheme! The material of the pouch feels similar to the texture of the box it comes in, it is a smooth canvas like material and the lipstick and other details are stitched onto it. The little details are adorable such as the cute bobbin on the zip, the bobbin and thread stitched onto the back of the pouch and the twine securing the tag. It feels really well made and of a high quality, from the packaging to the actual product. The zip doesn't stick, it feels well made and the bobbin is too cute!

The pouch is really quite roomy inside and as you can see from the first photograph it can stand up on its own so it does hold a good amount of makeup. The interior of the bag is bright red to match the lipsticks on the front design. There are no inner/outer pockets but it is quite roomy inside, it does keep all of my handbag makeup essential inside it without bulging out too much and as it is not massive it stops me from taking everything and the kitchen sink with me! 

Overall, I am so happy with this makeup pouch/bag, I adore the design, colours and details! I would definitely recommend this bag and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them as presents for friends and family in the future, especially as they are presented so beautifully. I would have to rate this product, ★★★★★, 5/5!
