First off, the vintage floral design is way prettier in person—it’s got that ‘grandma’s chic sewing box’ vibe but in a cool, modern way. The blue tones pop without being overwhelming.

I’ve been using this for my makeup brushes, and the single compartment is deceptively spacious. No more tangled bristles! The cotton blend feels sturdy yet soft, like it won’t fray even if I stuff it with my chunkiest foundation bottles.

Surprise MVP feature? The zipper. It glides smoother than my highlighter brush on cheekbones—no snagging, even when I overstuff it (which is always).

Travel test: Threw it in my carry-on between shoes and a laptop, and it emerged uncrushed. The quilted padding protected my liquid lipsticks like a tiny armor.

Bonus hack: I repurposed it as a pencil case during a work trip. Fit 12 pens, sticky notes, *and* my AirPods. The lining wipes clean easily when ink leaks (RIP favorite gel pen).

For the price? Way better quality than the flimsy ‘free gift with purchase’ bags. My only regret—not buying two for gifting!
