Your Compact Exploded in Your Purse Problem: You've been carrying the precious remains of your broken makeup compact around in a plastic baggie for weeks, but it's still getting all over the inside of your favorite purse.
Solution: Spot Clean or Call the Professionals
If your handbag was relatively cheap, try cleaning the liner yourself. Shake out all of the debris and pull the liner away from the bag. Spot clean with a toothbrush and a product like OxiClean, or make a diluted mixture of Dawn dish detergent and water.
If you spilled your makeup inside your nice purse, first, stop crying/freaking out/frantically Googling DIY solutions. You should take it to a cobbler or a luggage repair shop. Depending on the spill, they can shampoo it or replace the lining. As far as the cost, I got quotes from $20 to $200 for a cleaning or liner replacement, so call around for the best price.
