For frequent travelers who refuse to compromise on their personal care routines, packing light often feels like an impossible dream. One self-proclaimed heavy packer, Shawna Hudson, knows this struggle intimately, often resorting to two or three separate bags just for her skincare, makeup, and haircare essentials. This all changed with a single, serendipitous click on Amazon.
The Game-Changing Discovery on Amazon
Shawna wasn't actively searching for a new solution when she stumbled upon the Bagsmart travel toiletry bag. Frustrated with vanity cases and simple nylon pouches that never had enough room, she was immediately intrigued. The bag promised a high-quality build with perfectly-sized, larger-than-average pockets designed to consolidate all personal care items into one organized unit. Priced starting at just $23, she decided to take a chance, and it was a decision she has not regretted for a moment.
Her initial excitement was well-founded. The bag has revolutionized her packing, saving immense room in her suitcase. She now travels with it exclusively. The convenience is such that she doesn't even need to unpack it in hotel rooms—everything stays perfectly organized and accessible. The demand for these bags is high; when Shawna tried to buy one as a gift, her preferred color was already sold out.
Specs and Design: Built for the Real World
So, what makes this bag so special? It boasts a large capacity with dimensions of approximately 11 by 7 by 8 inches. While it features four main compartments, they are deceptively roomy. The bag is constructed from an ultra-light, soft, puffer-like material that is water-resistant, protecting bathroom countertops from leaks.
The design is where it truly shines. The large, wide-mouth side pockets are engineered to hold full-sized skincare and haircare products—a critical feature previous bags lacked. A dedicated front pocket is a makeup lover's dream, featuring four slots for brushes and two mesh pockets for palettes, blushes, and foundation.
Unparalleled Organization and Capacity
Inside the larger pockets, additional little mesh pockets allow for super-easy subdivision of items. For contact lens wearers, this is a particular boon: the mesh fits cases perfectly, and a full bottle of solution fits in the side pocket. In a real-world test, Shawna managed to fit an entire tub of Korean exfoliating pads, sunscreen, a full-sized water-based cleanser, an oil cleanser, two serums, and a moisturizer in one section alone.
The bag's versatility is staggering. It can accommodate a hairbrush alongside hair products, micellar water, and contact lens solution. A dedicated wet pocket in the back safely stores a toothbrush and toothpaste. Despite its generous size, it fits neatly into a medium checked bag, leaving ample space for other packing cubes.
Shawna, who chose an adorable pink shade (currently sold out), confirms the bag comes in various colors like black, sky blue, green, and mauve. Restocks on Amazon appear frequent. For any Canadian traveler seeking order and space, this $23 Bagsmart bag might just be the ultimate packing companion.
