I actually use this as my everyday make up case on top of using it for travel. It’s easy to clean and keeps everything really organized!I love the bag but the mirror was worthless. It is not a real mirror and you can’t really use it to apply makeup.I like the top zippered compartment, though it's thin. I put a clear, flat, zippered makeup case with the "last minute before bed" items: nightlight, watch with backlight, lip balm, tiny flashlight. In another similar makeup case I put a folded shower cap, small scissors, small liquid soap that hangs from the towel bar in a motel, floss, nail file, etc. The mirror (surprisingly clear) is held on with hook & loop so is easily removed if you don't want it.There is "just enough" room in the major section for my deodorant, oral, skin and hair care as well as makeup but I don't use tons of makeup. I like the dividers to keep each type of item separated.What I don't like: The case is only 12", NOT 12.59 as indicated in the description. I could have used the last 1/2 inch!The thin top section has loose elastic to close the mesh pocket (instead of a zipper with a gusset) which allows the contents to fall out immediately upon opening, hence the need for the clear makeup cases, which just take time to remove, open, use, replace, and then repeat. But I will live with that to have this case.I bought this case to try to get away from a hanging bag which, for me, was a task of constantly getting in and out of plastic bags in zipped pocket after zipped pocket. This case should reduce the time it takes to get out of the motel and on the road this summer.I am very happy with this makeup bag. I can see and access everything very easy. I emptied 2 bags i was using before.although this could be an inch bigger. wider. I do not carry my liquid makeup in this bag although i could. scaryit in a small bag separate because i have found my makeup may leak out because of the airplane pressure. And if it is not separate in a plactic bag it gets all over everything. Once should have been enough but it happen to me twice.It is when the airplane must go up very high above turbulence that it happens. So to be safe i store it separate.But this bag is awesome. i used all the dividers. It took me a while moving things around so everything would fit. At first it did not and then moving the dividers around, now everything fits. It arrives with the longest divider in the back.That throws you off. I left it there but added dividers to the back one to make it smaller. for lipsticks and lotions to stand up, as you see. The small plastic round container is filled with my small eye shadows. There is a full powder box, eyeliner cake, eyebrow container, compacts, creams, etc, etc and not to forget all my brushes and lipliner pencils, tweezers, and so on. The top scompartment has hair things, razor, tooth brush and paste, perfume, sewing kit, shoe horn, sharpener, spot remover. I think i have everything i need….Best purchase every fits all my make up very very sturdy and you can adjust the department inside of it to fit your needsThis is for the serious cosmetics owner. You can fit so much in this. Right now I have at least 8 palettes in it, along with a section for blush, concealer/powder, eyeliners and mascara, and brushes. I don’t really use the mirror section but you could store flat items in there, too.I love that I never fish around for anything like with a bucket cosmetics bag. Also, I haven’t had one item in my bag come apart like I have with bucket bags. It all secure and safe, no more wrecked eye shadows. I have a ton of cosmetics, so this is big (briefcase, laptop size?). If you have just the basics and aren’t a cosmetic junky, get a size down. I am buying a second one for storing skin care and then two of the smallest size for travel (one for cosmetics, one for skincare). I feel like a damn pro, everything organized and in its place, I grab what I need immediately. Zip it up and store it under the table, take it out and work out of it open - no need for cosmetics all over your table or sink. One of my best amazon purchases.I have two homes I split my time between on a weekly basis. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, so purchasing double everything would have wasted a lot. Buying this bag keeps everything I need when and where I need it. The perfect solution for my lifestyleI had all my every day make up in a travel like bag. You know with the clear pockets and zippers kind. I love that I was able to store most of my every day make up in this bag. I was able to put two then medium sized eyeshadow pallets in it. However I was not able to fit my brushes in the case and zip the bag. I have a brush case I keep them in and use a ribbon to attach it to the make up case. I have the extra large make up bag as well. I use it for my larger pallets and my overflow make up and facial cleansing products. I use small containers in my makeup bag and counter and refill from the larger ones in the big case. Did I mention that I really love this case ?
