I saw this thing the other day, some random gray bag thing, on YouTube. Like, it was nestled in some copyright info and all that jazz. Didn’t look *anything* like Allie’s modular magic, but hey, gray is a color, I guess? Anyway, that made me think…we gotta find something better. Something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, ya know?
Allie Glines is all about that organization. Like, surgically organized. You gotta admire it, but honestly, who has THAT much time? My makeup routine is more like a controlled explosion in my bathroom. But, having a decent bag that doesn’t let my eyeshadow explode *before* I get it on my face? Crucial.
So, the key to finding a dupe, I think, is figuring out *what* you actually like about the originals. Is it the modular thing? The color? The… I dunno, vibe? For me, it’s the organization potential. I hate digging through a black hole of lipsticks and tangled brushes. It’s just. Too. Much.
I’ve seen some okay-ish ones on Amazon. And honestly, sometimes just hitting up the clearance section at Target or TJ Maxx is the way to go. You might not find the *exact* same setup as Allie’s, but you can definitely snag some cute little organizers and pouches to create your own system. Think outside the box, people! Maybe even repurpose some old jewelry boxes or something?
But here’s the real tea: don’t get hung up on finding a PERFECT dupe. It probably doesn’t exist. And even if it did, you’re still gonna be spending money. Instead, focus on finding something that works for *you* and your makeup collection. Find something that keeps your stuff from becoming a chaotic mess, that fits your aesthetic, and that doesn’t break the bank. Is that too much to ask? Probably. But hey, a girl can dream, right?
