Like a brand new dish brush or vacuuming out your car, there are little things that can give you a brand new lease on life, even if just for a day. This is why the toiletry bag wins in all things holiday gifting. With an affordable price point, they create maximum impact per dollar and give the recipient that impetus to purge expired items (like that eyeliner you bought in 2010), organize their regiment for more efficiency in the morning, and generally spruce up their vanity-scape.We’ve picked out five make-up bags that do just that and more.
