Mmmmmmm! Raspberry jam!
I’m not talking about something sweet to put on your toast, though. I’m talking about this deliciousness!
You might be thinking to yourself, “I love it! Now…what the heck is it??”
It’s a swim cap! It’s a makeup bag! It’s a swim cap makeup bag! Or a clutch!
The lovely Katja of Raspberry Jam sent me this bag to giveaway, but it’s not the first thing I’ve received from her. I have had this bag for quite some time now and I use it daily. It goes everywhere with me and I get so many compliments on it that I’m pretty sure I’ll never stop using it. They’re padded, waterproof, and–my favorite–washable!
I love her creativity in coming up with the idea of making bags from swim caps. Brilliant! Just check these out:
Fully decorated bags…
And these lovely, more understated ones…
Or you can be more like me and go basic…
But this one…
This one needs to go home with a Green Wife reader and quick!
To enter, tell me your staple makeup items. Are you a drugstore girl? Or a $35 lipstick gal? Do you go au naturale or glamourpuss? If you have one favorite item, I’d love to hear about it!

And our winner is….#14! Congratulations, Christy! Email me to claim your prize!
Thank you all for your entries! I’m very jealous of you ladies that can get away with such little makeup. As a fair redhead, I feel compelled to wear lots of eye makeup, blush and lip color to make up for my light brows, lashes and lips. Enjoy your makeup freedom! 
I apologize for the delay in announcing the winner. See, yesterday we brought home a kitty from the Humane Society and she has kind of taken over our home and our every move. The kids are smitten with their kitten.

I am au nauturale most days but will do full make-up if I’m going on a grown-up outing. My make-up bag has both drugstore and department store items. I do love to glam it up for on occasion.
I’m all about the Carmex and that’s about it! lol And that bag is adorable!
Eyeliner. Without it my eyes get lost. Brown for more understated days, black for grown up time!
Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara & an eyelash curler & I’m happy.
I am au naturale. But, I do have a few items that I keep with me. Vanilla Softlips, Moisturizer, and clear mascara. This bag is so adorable.
OMGoodness! I Love That Bag! So Cute!
I get my make-up at the grocery store or Walgreen’s. I never leave the house without mascara. My favorite kind is ( Maybelline-Volume Express ). I also love all kinds of lip gloss! I like a little shine. hehe!
All my makeup has and always will be Cover Girl.
I’ve started using Pixi (bought at Target). I’ve got a cute little leather zipped up pouch with tiny brushes, blush, and shadow. But the most important thing is the little tube of SPF 25 tinted foundation with concealer right in the cap. That and my vanilla Softlips.
I’m a more is less kind of a girl. Lip gloss is a must have.
Mary Kay girl here all the way!
I have a combination of both department store and Target but I prefer to go with as little as possible.
Definitely need eye makeup, and I get it at Target usually. My makeup needs a home, though— and that bag is adorable!!
I love all kinds of makeup, and have all kinds. But, I especially like smashbox and tarte. My biggest obsession is lip gloss. I would guess that I have about 60 of them right now…I tell my husband that it’s better than drugs, right???
I NEED that bag for all of them! LOL!
I wear it but no one even notices.
I’m pretty much au naturale. I will sometimes put on some tinted Burt’s Bees chapstick when my lips are dry. That’s about it. On very rare occasions I will wear powder, blush and lip gloss. Hardly ever eye makeup.
I’m pretty much au naturale unless I’m going to a wedding or some other big shindig. I prefer Shisheido and 5S, but they don’t make 5S anymore. And the bag is darling!!!
My staple makeups are Sephora Lipstick N33 and Lorac translucent powder. The lipstick was $6 and the powder was $24 so I’m thinking I’m half drug store price and expensive taste ^.^
I LOVE the bag
I’m a drugstore girl. My staples are Oil of Olay with SPF, a teeny bit of foundation to hide my dark circles from 3 years of no sleep. Neutral eyeshadow – any brand that looks fun when I’m buying it. The pink and green tube (always!) of dark brown mascara. and some mineral blush. And chapstick.
Always chapstick and SPF moisturizer though, even if I don’t put on makeup.
I don’t leave my house without make up. If nothing else I have on mascara.
Bare Minerals stuff. I can make it last forever! And Burt’s Bees. Lately I’ve been paranoid about parabens and stuff so I’ll probably be looking for some natural stuff for mascara and eyeliner.
That bag is so cute and unusual. The ones without the flowers sort of look like a sweet little bird. Thanks for the giveaway!
I always have mascara, eye liner & chap stick. Those are everyday things, unless Bella doesn’t sleep at night then it’s au natural! lol And I’m a drugstore kinda gal.
That bag is asbolutely ADORABLE!!!! Love it
I hate makeup but feel compelled to wear it. I wear a lot of Bare Minerals. I love applying their eyeliner with a brush. I usually do drug store lipstick. And I’m in love with this a Clinique mascara that is waterproof in cool water but comes off in warm water. Doesn’t have that waterproof feel but also doesn’t run–a real problem for me because my eyes water a lot.
My 3 staples when it comes to make up are eye liner (brown from MAC), mascara (Cover Girl Lash Blast), and lip gloss (Power Supply from MAC that I always get free with their MAC Give Back program).
I have to have mascara! I use Loreal’s Lash Out in black. Most days I try to get eyeliner on but, it’s a challenge with a 12 month old!
love it – so cute!!
I am all about chapstick! LOL
omgosh that is soooo funny! when you posted the sneak on fb i totally called it on being an old timey swim cap!!!!!!!!
i don’t wear much make up, except when i’m going out out. without kids out. haha
so, rarely.
i love everyday minerals!
my staples are powder, mascara and lipgloss….
such a cute cute bag!!!
I’m pretty basic with my makeup, but I use MAC products for just about everything (except mascara which is good ol’ Cover Girl). I think MAC can be intimidating sometimes b/c of all the flashy colors, but the quality is great and if you look closely you can find the more subdued colors
Although, I do have some fun stuff for when I ditch the kids and go out like an adult!
I can’t go anywhere without my lip balm. And after I hit 30, I became a fan of eye cream.
I’m a dollar store diva…..I get foundation, blush, eyeshadow, liner, lipstick, and mascara there.
O_o that’s lovely,
I have a bit of both as far as makeup goes. Sorry, nak!
I WANT this bag! It will hold my fav product claryfing matte from dermaligica perfectly!
Mascara. Without it my eyes look so naked. Bald eyes. Not cute. I’m very grateful for Maybelline Great Lash. Other than that I don’t wear much make-up. Very subtle cover-up, and some natural looking lipstick. I’m kind of boring, actually.
i bought a 32 dollar mascara recently because i was having a poor me day. girl at work said it was magical or something. lancome vibrating mascara (for dummies). anyway, put it on the next day… i already have great eye lashes so didnt do much for me. didnt look skinnier. boobs not perkier…. just fighting with a vibrating brush while putting on globby non waterproof mascara that later melted down my face when i cried. my staple–cheapie covergirl mascara, chapstick, a stethoscope, a sharpie marker, and a clicky pen. at work, they liken me to a super hero who doesnt wear her underwear on the outside of her pants….. but i do still wear vibrating mascara… but only because i paid the 32 dollars for it. wont waste it.
