The affordable way to feed your animal print habit; these lovely little makeup pouches are only a fiver each from M&S. I particularly like the bright orange and the lime green – a very retro combination, when you place them side-by-side. They are described on the website as “mini” pouches, but they’re not quite as tiny as you’d imagine – I’ve laid out some basic makeup essentials over the top to give you an idea of size:

Not too shabby! They are completely flat, so you don’t want to stuff them full and make them all bulging and lumpy, but perfect for slipping into your handbag or travel bag. You can fit an entire makeup “look” into them, foundation and all, so long as you’re not carting a 30-shade eyeshadow palette or foundation-airbrushing-kit around with you…

Animal print cosmetic pouches, £5 each (or 3 for 2 at the time of writing), Marks and Spencer.
