We’ve Tested Dozens of Toiletry Bags—These Are Our Top Picks

Tested by: J.C.

How long have you been using it?
I ordered this Calpak train case in unison with the aforementioned Luka toiletry bag—so around two months now.

What is it best for?
With its boxy, clear, and haute look, the train case is best for extended trips where a checked bag is obvious. Otherwise, it’s a superb makeup bag at home for those who don’t love too many compartments, and like to have their ready products in view: The transparent panels let you quickly locate what you need without digging. (Not to mention, it looks super cute with the Luka, given the matching colorways. I’m obsessed!)

How much does it hold?
When this bad boy arrived at my apartment, it was (luckily) bigger than I expected. It’s tall, so it can easily hold my toner bottles, makeup brushes, and blending sponges.

At home, not only does it store my everyday beauty products, but a stock of my next-on-the-lists and just-in-cases—it’s where my unopened moisturizers, different lip shades, and nail care products go. My favorite part? There’s a hidden, dedicated interior organization pocket attached to the top compartment, which holds the products I wish to keep separate.
