I was really looking forward to this to toss in my purse, but it's much larger than I expected and takes up too much room in my everyday bag. It has a fairly shiny surface, which I feel wasn't clear enough on the website photos (to be fair, the representation of the colour was absolutely accurate). Would be a great, high quality makeup bag if you travel frequently, but it's too big to cart around for just a few products. Just a bad match for me but definitely well made.
