We tested several excellent bags, but their features or designs were not sufficient to secure a top ranking. Nonetheless, each person has unique preferences for their toiletry bag; therefore, although these choices might not be ideal for us, they could still be exactly what you need. Priced at $85, the Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case is primarily made from water-resistant, easy-to-clean PVC. I evaluated the medium version, which features a full zipper around its perimeter and can be flattened open to showcase two zippered sections along with a smaller mesh zippered pouch. It resembles an adorable handbag, available in 16 fashionable colors, featuring dual handles and metal studs on the bottom. Accessing the contents isn’t as straightforward as with other cosmetic cases that open from the top; instead, you need to lay the Calpak flat to open both sides, needing a space of 16 by 10 inches, and its transparent design lacks discretion. The Nex Dopp kit priced at $75, which I evaluated from Nex’s 2024 Hawaii collection, features a spacious single compartment with a dual zippered opening, available in both small and large sizes. They consist of microfiber leather, a type of synthetic leather known for being softer and more durable, and is considered to be of higher quality. The bags were rigid and nicely designed, providing a sense of safety for my cosmetics when packed tightly in my carry-on.
