Friends, I’m heading overseas in two weeks for a month and until now, I’d forgotten how much of a bitch packing was. I’ve got lists scatted all over the house of what I need to pack, what I need to do before I go and what I need to buy for my big trip. And at the top of my shopping list is a new toiletry bag. Do you know how hard it is to find the perfect makeup bag/wash bag/cosmetic bag/whatever you wanna call it?
Hard. Real hard. If you’re like me, you’d prefer to have one bag that fits everything in it — your skincare, hair care, body lotions and makeup. You don’t want to be packing several different bags for all your beauty products, especially when you need that precious luggage space for things like clothes and all the shopping you’re going to be doing.
Maybe you’re not like me, maybe you’d prefer to have multiple bags or just one small clear baby for your carry-on. Whatever your cosmetics bag needs are, I’ve found a solution for ’em.
I’ve spent hours trawling the Internet to find the best toiletry bags in Australia — you can thank me later.
The Best Toiletry Bags for 2023 in Australia
Best Overall: Beis On the Go Essentials Case
The Internet all but agrees that the Beis On the Go Essentials Case is one of, if not the best, toiletry bag on the market.

It features two separate sides, so you can keep one for your makeup and the other for your skincare. The only downside about this one is that it’s only available for pre-order via Revolve if you’d like to get one sent to Australia.
