Parallelle’s Carry-On makeup bag is the ultimate solution to keeping beauty products organized and easy to find—and it’s our top pick for travelers. A year ago, before discovering this bag’s magic, I used to empty my entire cosmetic bag onto the bathroom counter at any hotel or Airbnb that I stayed in. The makeup bag is now foldable, which means those days are gone. Each side of the makeup bag can be lowered to lay flat after you have unzipped it. This allows you to see your entire collection at once. It is designed to keep all products upright and visible.
The medium size case includes 16 wall pockets, four elastic mesh pouches and three adjustable compartments. The small wall pocket is ideal for holding thin products such as mascara, eyeliner and lip liner. Four elastic mesh pouches can be used to store loose items like blush, bronzer and pressed mineral powder. You can store foundation, makeup remover and setting spray in the adjustable compartments. There’s a place for everything—and I mean everything. This is what I reach for every time I travel, no matter if it’s a short weekend trip or a long vacation.
