Vera Bradley Womens Cotton Medium Cosmetic Organizer Makeup Bag

My 8 year old loves this. Its just small enough to fit into her backpack, and she can keep some of her favorites that dad didnt know she needed, but she insists she does. Its a very adorable Vera Bradley design.

Delivered as pictured!

Love this makeup bag. Although its a medium, it holds way more than I need, and Im a bit of a makeup junkie. You can see in my pic - that is what I would take with me for the day and how much room is left over. Its lined (with plastic? vinyl? PVC? not sure what it is, but its clear), so the fabric inside wont get stained/dirty from spilled makeup which is great. I couldve easily gotten away with a small makeup bag. Its long enough that standard makeup brushes will be able to fit inside. I assume that in a makeup bag, you wont plan to bring along EVERY makeup brush you own, but just a few for touch ups during the day: a powder brush, blush brush, maybe an eye shadow or brush or two. I love the side zip too, which is not lined. I plan to keep medicine (for migraine, etc.) on the side there for easy access. Love it! ~Amy

Use for cosmetics and fingernail tools.

This purchase was a gift for my daughter! She loved it! The colors of the bag are especially beautiful!

This is a cute, well made cosmetic bag. The recycled cotton fabric is soft but durable and the bag is lightly padded due to the quilting. I ordered the Butterfly By pattern to match several of my other Vera Bradley bags. The pattern features large, colorful abstract butterflies against a variegated sky blue background -- very cheerful and summery. The contrasting fabric lining the interior of the bag has small butterflies scattered on a navy background. The bag is simply organized a zippered main compartment that is also lined with clear plastic to protect against leaks or spills. The zipper wraps quite a ways around the sides to make it easy to access the interior. The curved pocket on the front of the bag doesnt have clear plastic lining and is great for smaller items. The nylon zippers have metal heads and ribbon pull tabs. The bag is well made and very sturdy. Even though this is labeled as a medium-sized cosmetic bag, it is definitely roomy enough to hold everything I might need on a daily basis and is actually a little too big for my cross-body bag. It will fit nicely into my tote or satchel, however. It would also be perfect for travel. The current price of $35.00 seems a bit high to me, but the quality is top-notch and it does fit in the price range of other brand offerings.

Use this as a pencil pouch, love it

Love these small make-up bags

I have a Vera Bradley large cosmetic bag, and while I love it for when I want all my cosmetics in one place, its too large for whats left over when I have to separate out my liquids and gels in a separate bag for TSA. The non-liquids swim in that bag. I figured that the next size down, this medium cosmetic bag, would be perfect for air travel when I separate my things into two bags. Unfortunately, this medium bag is dramatically smaller than the large. In fact, if I had the two side by side, I would think that I owned a large and a small, instead of a large and a medium. This one measures approximately 9 L x 6 H x 2 D. Despite my disappointment in the size, however, this cosmetic organizer is a great bag. (Ive included a photo to show the difference between the two sizes.) I love that the inside is lined with a clear vinyl that shows the quilted liner fabric -- it has a contrasting pattern -- while protecting it from spills and stains from within. It has a non-lined, zippered exterior pouch for quick access to dry cosmetics, hair clips, etc. This bag is both practical and feminine. I know from my older one that it will also be durable. Yes, its fabric, not nylon, so it might be prone to ripping, but the seams are solid and the quilting makes it tough. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Im very happy with the size and quality of this bag. Its just big enough to carry makeup, including my decent-sized makeup brush and hair brush. For me, its a great size to take what I need for touchups through the day while still fitting into a reasonably sized purse or tote. The fabric is beautiful and just as pictured. I really like that the main compartment is lined with flexible clear plastic to wipe clean easily. While one of the graphics with this product listing currently says washable, the description and the product info on the brands website says spot clean. Perhaps the whole bag could be successfully machine washed, but it apparently isnt officially recommended, which is the only drawback I see.
