Hi. It's Sumner, and welcome to products approved by an experienced product developer, where I give my stamp of approval to only the best of the best. First up, the traveler makeup case by Parallel. I have used this bag for over two years. It is still in amazing condition, and it has so many super smart features that I wanna tell you about. You'll notice here that it has a flat face. So when you think of a lot of toiletry cases cases and makeup cases, there is no structural integrity, and you're digging around the bottom of a shapeless bag best to find your eyelash curler. This sturdy reinforced bottom means that no matter what surface it's on, it's always sitting upright. Next best feature, two zippers, which we love. It zips all the way down to the sides, which means you rank fold it over to see everything inside all at once. You put this on your vanity, on the floor of a hotel room. Now better talk about the inside. It is so smartly divided using mesh pockets, smaller interior pockets within tier, and velcro adjustable dividers. I've got my sections divided up as eyes and lip on one side on the edge, face on the other edge, in the middle, I've got tools and perfume and some of my larger makeup pieces. This size, which you can see fits all of this stuff is the medium size. I think this is a perfect size for someone with sort of an average amount of makeup. There is a larger size that you could get. I would really like, and I'll be putting on my wish best from Santa, the small, so a little bit smaller than this because this, for me and who I am, fits all of my makeup. And sometimes when I'm going on a trip, I know I'll only want a couple of things. I would love to have a small to go alongside this, break out my MVPs. Something I also really wanna commend Parallel for is that I, again, bought this over two years ago when I was looking on the site. They've expanded the colors so much since I bought this one. I think there are 10 colors, and then great smart companies, like, take user feedback and learn how they can adjust and make things better. And I have noticed that while on this one, there's nothing on the sides, on the new version, there are loops for brushes. And so that's another way to save space in here and make every part of this so functional. Cannot recommend this enough. Kudos to Parallel.
