Our Favorite Cosmetic Bags

If you’re traveling, or simply want a great bag to store your makeup/cosmetics at home, these are the top picks at every price point.

Come this time of year, you might have organizing on your mind, and if not, you might have travel on your mind.

And here is where organizing your cosmetic/makeup bag comes in. You can accomplish both tasks by overhauling your makeup bag (no, you are not bringing your makeup along in a Ziploc this time).

(The best is to set it up with all small travel of all your favorite cosmetics so you don’t need to move things – like this)

Here are our favorite picks at every price point to get you going.

$10 and $14

The Perfect Makeup Bag

This makeup bag that we previously reviewed in this post is still a favorite and a #1 value! It comes in two sizes to suit your travel (or home) cosmetic storage needs perfectly.

$25

It’s pretty, and it looks small but fits tons. The divider in the center and that extra pouch to keep contents organized inside are great features. It’s available in lots and lots of colors. The basket weave version looks pretty and expensive.

Quince Neoprone Cosmetic Bag

We’re so impressed with everything Quince makes these days. This one is inspired by the neoprene bag made by a pricier brand. An excellent travel mate.

$70

Quince Italian Leather Dual Compartment Toiletry Bag

If you travel with a lot of stuff and want one big luxe (or luxe for less!) item to store absolutely everything, this is beautiful.

$78-128

Parallelle Bag

(Available in three sizes) This is for the girl who finds pleasure in having all her things so perfectly organized. It’s pricier than other cosmetic bag options, but the organizing features and functionality are next level. We’ve never seen anything that keeps order better than this. If roaming through a bag to find stuff is your pet peeve and you I love when everything stands up (and this bag it all stands up), you’ll enjoy it! The sides also roll down for easy access to stuff.
