This charming little cosmetic bag is the perfect size for a weekend trip or to stash makeup in your purse.

Changing lives with trash: The women-owned and run Cooperatives in the Philippines that make these bags from recycled materials started their business as a way to clean up their neighborhoods and to improve the lives of their families. More than ten years ago they began collecting the ubiquitous juice pouches and turning them into small, useful items that they could sell. The money they earn stays in their neighborhoods to fund a diverse array of programs such as health clinics, micro loans for other women-owned businesses and scholarships for their kids.
