These Retro Pastel Caboodles Are A Great Way To Organise Your Makeup & Accessories
As a millennial in my early thirties, there were many things I loved about the '90s but caboodles—bless their easily-scratched surfaces, were among my favourites.

In Singapore, these multi-purpose cases were typically sold at toy stores like Toys”R”Us, sometimes paired with crafting essentials or matching stationery sets. I remember appreciating their spacious storage and multi-sized compartments, which easily fit my coloured pencils, notepads, and the occasional Polly Pocket toy.

Imagine my delight when I realised caboodles are still sold online till this day, on an official site that hawks back to the nostalgia-filled days of the ‘90s. They’re also available on Amazon and Urban Outfitters.
Categorised by purpose, the caboodles are designed as travel boxes, cosmetic cases, nail organisers, and even hair tool organisers. Meant for big girls who want to get their lives back in order, these nifty cases come in a variety of solid and duo-tone hues.

Meanwhile, makeup lovers who need more storage can go for the On-The-Go Girl Case, which features an auto-open tray with a flip lid, mirror, and secure latch. This one also comes in a combination of pretty colours like pink sparkle, peach, seafoam, and lilac.
