Caboodles Le Sophistique Review & Giveaway

It looked similar to this one..

Who had a Caboodle growing up? Who still owns one or more? I do, I do! I am a big fan of Caboodles. It all started when I was 10 and my mother got me the original Caboodle it was dark purple, with silver glitter specks. I had and used that Caboodle for a good ten years, before I replaced it with a more grown up silver Grande Train Case. Mind you, that original purple Caboodle was still going strong, I had just grown out of it. I still have the Grande Train Case and I like to use it to organize and store makeup that I don't use a lot. I know some of you may be thinking, "I'm too old to be carrying around Caboodles". Well I'm here to tell you, Caboodles has grown with us, and while they still have the classic standbys they also have products that suite more grown up tastes.

Envy

Like this, the Caboodles Envy. This looks like a handbag I would carry around any day, except inside are pouches and elastic band storage. Or the equally cute Femme Fatale which also includes pouches, and elastic band storage.

Femme Fatale

Did you know that Caboodles now makes acrylic cosmetic organizers in their Crystal Clear line? You know like the ones that are currently all the rage, but extremely expensive? Except the big difference is that Caboodles are VERY affordable. Coming in at around $10!

The Caboodles that really caught my eye? The Le Sophistique. It has every bag that you will ever need. Six bags to be exact. A clear zippered carryall, large upright bag, rectangular brush bag with protector flap, tubular bag, clear half moon bag, and Specs case. It also comes with 4 makeup brushes. I wasn't so keen on the quality of the makeup brushes included, but that's just fine as the bags in the Le Sophistique more than make up for them. There are small bags that easily slip into your purse. Bags great for carrying makeup and toiletries for overnight stays or small trips, and of course bigger bags to pack and organize for larger trips. The Le Sophistique stood out the most to me not just because of all options but because although made of durable material it's not a hard box, the Le Sophistique bags can be easily packed up wont take up a lot of space in your suitcase or other bags. Price for the Le Sophistique varies by store but I've searched and found that they are all around $20.
