I was recently bemoaning the state of my cosmetics and have decided that a good quality carry-case may be the answer. A bag like this can't get squished in your handbag causing multiple lipstick trauma, and will look smart enough to haul around with you in situations where you may need to touch-up.
As an item, this bag is pretty attractive in its own right and what with the 'boxy' trend taking hold, I could see this doubling up as a perfectly good handbag, too. Loving the studs that continue all the way along the shoulder strap!
