For the Fashion Forward Girl:  Try a Tory Burch Cosmetic Bag, $65 at Neiman Marcus (stores and online)

<em>Tory Burch</em> Brigitte <em>Cosmetic</em> Case
I especially LOVE the navy/white and orange combo of colors - so hot this year!

For the Preppy Princess:  Try a Kate Spade case, I've got 2 to show you (just couldn't mention one) - the first is from the new Kate Spade line that launched 3 weeks ago, the line features black and white stripes, with a great patent finish!  You could spill on it and wipe it off!  Perfect for keeping your investment in tact!

Find it for $70 at Zappos

I also LOVE this red patent train case

$85 at Amazon
<em>kate spade</em> new york <em>Larabee Dot</em> Small Natalie Fraise - Shoulder Bag

And for the Luxury-Loving Girl, who won't settle for anything less than runway, splurge on a Louis Vuitton!  I splurged a few years ago, and I have to say, I love the worn look of the canvas leather more now than I did when it was new!  It really is a classic item you will have forever!  But warning, the pouch is small, its only for a few select items.

Cosmetic Pouch, $310, Louis Vuitton.com

For a larger version, try a toiletry bag, $510
