One is lipsticks, one for pens, and one with the things that go purse to purse. &nbsp;It's also easy to make space for little pouches. If you get a lot of "bonus gifts" from the makeup counter, you probably already have a nice assortment to work from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-inside-my-purse#post-1079220 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 18:47:02 +0000 minimalist 1079220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Emily said. I use Eagle Creek's zippered pouches in black, but they also make sturdy lightweight ones in neon colors that are easy to find in a dark bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-inside-my-purse#post-1079217 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 18:45:18 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1079217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Similar to Emily I use pouches too. So little purse for make up, one for pens etc. If they are texturally different they are easy to locate. I would struggle with the whole in the zipper pocket as this is where I keep my phone. Could you get it fixed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-inside-my-purse#post-1079211 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 18:42:15 +0000 Glory 1079211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted about this exact problem in the summer when I purchased a new bag. I never did find an organizer that appealed to me and I resorted to plastic ziplock baggies. I'm still looking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-inside-my-purse#post-1079191 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 18:22:57 +0000 Liz A. 1079191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be perfectly honest. I would and have nixed a bag like that. I actually prefer one large compartment over multiple small ones simply because it makes me crazy when I invariably look in the wrong one for a certain item. But I must be able to see inside my bag! Black lining is a no go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-inside-my-purse#post-1079132 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 17:11:02 +0000 pastrygirl 1079132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also use a purse organizer but now want one that's a bit stiffer, because after years of use, it's collapsing in on itself. If you want to make it more structured, here's a blog post with a great idea:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.puttingmetogether.com/2013/10/purse-base-shaper-help-bags-keep-their.html">http://www.puttingmetogether.c.....their.html</a> </p> <p>ETA: I have a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://pursen.net/collections/organizer-inserts-medium">PurseN</a>, but like I said, I'm getting annoyed lately with how soft it is.
