Packing, the word alone can send me into a panic. What should I bring? What should I not bring? Will everything fit in my suitcase? Must make a “To Pack” List Now! While deciding which shoes, okay really how many, to bring is always my biggest challenge, coming in at a close second is choosing my toiletries, and finding the perfect bag to pack them into.
About a year ago I found a very large bag, with lots of compartments, that is ideal for long trips, but not so great for shorter trips. When Cindy sent me the London SOHO New York –Summertime Radness Double Zip Cosmetic Box with Brush Holder, $16.99, to review my small toiletry bag wish was answered. This bag, or box as the brand calls it, is not only the perfect size for shorter trips, but also is extremely well made.
Product Details
- Dimensions – 9.5″L x 5.75″W x 3″H
- Made of easy-wipe vinyl/polyester
- Two zipper sections
- Six-slot brush holder
- Mesh zip pouch
- Single top strap
I really love the vinyl construction of this bag. It is lightweight, easy to clean, and features very sturdy zippers. I can’t tell you how many cosmetic/toiletry bags I have had to throw out because of shooty zippers.
As I mentioned above, the Beauty Double Zip Cosmetic Box features two sections, both of which unzip all the way for easy access to all your items. The top zippered section contains a slim mesh pouch, perfect for keeping your makeup organized, and a brush holder, which features a plastic flap for protecting your brushes.
The wide mouth opening of the catch-all bottom section also opens up for easy accessibility. I find this section is ideal for tossing in odds and ends, or larger products like my foundation or eye shadow palettes. The sturdy construction of this section also means I don’t have to worry about any of my products falling out.
Although this Summer Radness pattern, which funny enough perfectly matches my large toiletry bag, doesn’t seem to be available on the SOHO Beauty’s website, they do offer many other designs and fabric choices, which you can find at Ulta, Walgreens, Target, Amazon and Harmon.
Overall: At $16.99, the London SOHO New York –Double Zip Cosmetic Box with Brush Holder is an amazing deal. It is well constructed, and contains just the right amount of space to be used as your toiletry bag for a short trip, or as your cosmetic bag for longer trips. I highly recommend checking out London SOHO New York’s full line of products for yourself or someone else. SOHO also has a great selection of Disney makeup bags!
