Ted Baker Washbag in Drina - Review

A post Christmas splurge for one of these bags has been on the cards for a while now. Ted Baker, to me, as a brand emulates quality and general gorgeousness. Initially, it was on my Christmas list but because my Mum is somewhat sane, she decided not to spend out on a simple wash bag. But me, well, I'm not.


In the sales this bag was £15, knocked down from £22. Bargain! Ok, ok, so in hindsight spending over a fiver on a make up bag is pretty obscene for a 17 year old.  To give reason to this insanity I have to argue that it's so pretty and the sales are just an excuse to get presents for yourself as a sort of 'well done for surviving the festive period'. So this was mine.


Buying online meant shipping was £4.50, which is ridiculous. Totally mental. Luckily the powers off the internet saved me of that with a free delivery discount code. Thank god! But, the packaging, oh the packaging, it turned up in a lime green box and 'Ted always delivers' printed in swirly writing as you lift up the lid. I like the effort, its different from the bog standard recyclable plastic bags that my purchases usually turn up in.




On to the bag... its miniature, perfect for travelling with basics or just to slip into your hand bag for everyday essentials. Although, I'm not really one for taking make up out with me, mainly in fear of losing it. I don't think I could deal with myself if I lost the only things that stops me from looking like one of Fagin's children on a daily basis.




The pattern on the bag is dreamy, the sequin print is just pretty and dainty. I think that's how it can be described; pretty. The little touches on this bag like the rose gold zip and the pearly pink satin insides, just complete the luxury of the bag. Am I in love? Almost.

I think I'm now living with the fear I have is ruining the gorgeous insides with my clumsy make-up stained hands. I'll best be on my best behaviour when using this!
