for starters, your bag should be lightweight and have comfortable straps that don’t slip or dig. comfort is a must for short and long travel days (and your shoulders will agree!). other key features of a good travel tote: pockets for easy organization, a no-nonsense design that wears close to the body and zippers to keep your contents safe and secure.

we’re always going to tell you to expect more from women's designer handbags, including makeup bags. it helps if your cosmetic bag is softer, smarter and more organized. softer: no hard corners means easier packing, especially if you’re prone to overstuffing your luggage. smarter: water-resistance outside with an added coating on the inside to resist spills and provide easy cleanup. organized: interior pockets to keep smaller items handy and separate from your travel-sized bottles, tubes, tubs and whatnot.

size matters. you want your cosmetic travel bag to be small enough to fit in your carry-on bag, but large enough to fit your essentials. it’s a fine line. you should also look for a makeup bag made from a water-resistant material like nylon — coated on the inside to protect against those inevitable messes. spills and leaks are going to happen, face it. having a little nylon cosmetic bag that wipes clean in a second with a bit of soap and water will keep your stevie looking fresh. another feature to consider: bag hardware. we don’t want your small makeup bag to spill its guts mid-flight! stevie’s no-rust vislon zipper keeps your travel routine exactly where it belongs: in your cosmetic bag. stevie coordinates with our other shortyLOVE bags, so your travel game will look completely pulled together!
