This Not That: Calpak Clear Cosmetic Case

I’ve been frustrated with my Calpak cosmetic case for a while now. Every time I travel, it feels like a bulky burden—taking up way too much space in hotel bathrooms and hogging precious room in my suitcase. It’s awkward to pack, and once it’s full, it becomes really heavy. Worst of all, I always end up digging around trying to find what I need. Nothing has a designated spot, so everything just floats around inside.

Then I stumbled across this little travel bag on Amazon, and I’m honestly amazed. Even though it’s smaller than the Calpak, it somehow fits more. I don’t know what kind of sorcery that is, but I’m here for it. The real game-changer, though, is the compartments. Unlike the Calpak, where everything gets lost in a black hole, this bag has a place for everything—and I’m obsessed.

If I had one tiny complaint, it’s that I wish the liner were darker. I tend to spill things, and the light interior shows every little mess. But even with that, this bag has completely transformed how I travel. It’s lighter, smarter, and way more organized. If you’re tired of the clutter and weight of Calpak, do yourself a favor and switch to this one.
