Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case for $85: Constructed largely of water resistant, wipe-clean PVC, this clear beauty case (I examined the medium dimension) zips all the best way round and folds flat to disclose two zippered compartments and one smaller zippered mesh bag. It additionally seems like a cute little purse with its 16 stylish shade choices, twin handles, and steel backside studs. Nevertheless, contents aren’t as simple to entry as different beauty baggage that simply open from the highest—it’s important to lay the Calpak flat to open either side, which requires a 16-by-10-inch footprint, and the all-clear building is not very discreet.

They’re fabricated from microfiber leather-based, which is a higher-quality artificial leather-based, stated to be softer and extra sturdy. The baggage have been stiff and well-structured, which felt protecting of my cosmetics when jammed into my carry-on. There’s a slight artificial scent from the microfiber leather-based, which is difficult to overlook, since it’s essential to lean your face fairly near the bag to see the contents within the cavernous single compartment. I additionally felt that when the bag was unzipped, the zippered strip was both in the best way or needed to be splayed out, which took up an excessive amount of area on my tiny hotel-bathroom shelf.

The navy model I examined had a coated polyester wipe-clean exterior and inside made out of recycled bottles, and I appreciated that it had the choice to hold. Nevertheless, the group was extra rudimentary than similar-category baggage we examined, and it was lacking a number of the considerate particulars featured on different baggage in the identical worth vary, like a quick-access pouch on the again and a bigger hook with a rubber tip to stop slipping. (This bag’s thick, small plastic hook wasn’t even extensive sufficient to hold on a towel rack.)
