The 3 Best Makeup Bags on Amazon
Editors’ Pick: Caboodles On-the-go Girl Vintage Case
The Facts:
- Has an auto-open tray with a mirror inside
- Top tray is divided into three sections for organizing smaller items
- Closes shut with a secured latch
Raise your hand if you had one of these when you were growing up? Whereas our Caboodles were filled with root beer-flavored lip balms and butterfly clips back in the '90s, we now use them to corral our root beer-flavored lip balms and, ah, eye creams. All jokes aside, this little kit is more than a nostalgic collector’s item; with a top handle, mirror and compartmentalized trays, it’s actually very useful for organizing our daily essentials. "It definitely sparks joy in my life," said one editor.
Splurge-worthy: Daisy Rose Luxury Checkered Makeup Bag
The Facts:
- Made of vegan leather
- Has an interior lining that’s easy to clean
- Comes in three colors
We know what you’re thinking: Man, that looks like an LV bag (and yes, it’s a dupe, but you have to admit it’s a pretty convincing one). With over 1,000 reviews, this chic case is the top selling makeup bag on Amazon. Fans love the print but also the carry-on size and overall construction; it’s made of vegan leather and has a smooth zipper that doesn’t get caught. (Psst. We hear Jessica Alba’s a fan.)
Best Value: Monstina Travel Kit Organizer Cosmetic Bag
The Facts:
- Made of waterproof nylon
- Features two main compartments
- Has mesh pockets and individual slots for makeup brushes
This zippered pouch is an organized gal’s dream. There’s a place for everything: your eyeshadow brushes, your mascara, a few tubes of lipstick, a pair of tweezers, a miscellaneous hair-tie or Band-Aid. Use the slotted side to hold any brushes or liners; use the main compartment for everything else. The bag itself is large enough to accommodate all of your essentials but small enough to fit in most purses.
