I have a bunch of random cosmetic cases and bags that I've acquired over the years, usually as a gwp or random Christmas gift. Nothing is big enough to hold everything -makeup, skin care, hair care, etc. I don't love any if them and always wind up trying a couple iterations of multiple bags during my packing.
I have a lot of travel this year, enough that it makes sense for me to get a bag I love that I can keep partially packed with my travel sized containers to save time. I don't mind using a couple of bags to store the stuff, but I'd like a set that's practical and cute, instead of having to overstuff random old Ipsy bags.
I really like Target’s makeup bags. The one I have zips open down the middle into 2 sides with zip up pockets so I keep skin care on one side and makeup on the other. I also use a small long bag for the couple brushes I bring with and it usually will fit inside that bag too.
Another vote for this. I love this thing. The end pockets are expandable. I usually put my makeup in a separate larger pouch but everything else goes in here. All the travel size skin care, hair, toiletries.
I bought this bag years ago, and I hate it. It only works for me if there's a ton of bathroom counter space where I'm going. If there's limited bathroom counter space, there's nowhere to put it. I can't hang it, because if I unzip the side pockets, the makeup and other products can tumble out.
It's super easy to pack in a suitcase, but hasn't worked for me.
I think my ideal would be either a train case or something similar to the smaller hanging cases posted above, but with an extra removable bag that fits inside. I'd like to put my makeup in a bag separate from everything else, but that packs up neatly inside it.

I have a small train case I put everything in, but makeup, as I prefer to keep that separate and in a smaller bag. Though I'm still looking for the best little makeup bag for me.
I have a variety of bags in different sizes that are all water-resistant so if something breaks, it doesn't get all over my clothing. I tend to travel a lot with just carry-one, so I use the clear bag for liquids and a small darker bag for other stuff. I use travel size products for the most part in this situation.
