Beauty.com has enlisted Israeli designer Yigal Azrouel to create the Y Bag, a sample-packed purse available free to customers who spend $100 on Beauty.com products.
Yigal says he designed the Y Bag for modern women who demand a versatile accessory for everyday use.
“It’s simple, but there’s a toughness to the details that gives a stylish edge to whoever carries it,” he said in a statement.
It appears like a small camera bag, but its quilted cotton exterior and leatherette accents give it a bit of a lift. I like the way the detachable wrist loop helps it convert from clutch or cosmetics purse to wristlet, but I’m still feeling a bit underwhelmed. It’s sad when the best part of a bag is its insides, but that’s just what we see here. The bold black and white leopard print lined space, with its zippered mini-compartment and elastic loops, is very smart.
I’m also excited about the goodies Beauty.com has stuffed inside. Each Y Bag is sold with a $10 Beauty.com shopping card and plenty of sample-sized toiletries and cosmetics, including lip gloss, nail polish, body butter, and foundation primer.
The collaboration with Yigal Azrouel isn’t one of Beauty.com’s most exciting designer purses, but it’s hard to criticize a free gift too harshly!
