This was a little larger than I had imagined when I ordered it, which was actually a good thing for me. It is large enough to hold even a mini curling iron or straightener plus all of your travel toiletries and cosmetics. It's just a bit larger than a lunch box. The pictures don't give a good idea of the layout, so here is a description: The center zipper has double pulls which allow it to open so that both sides lay out flat. There are then clear plastic sections on each half of the case. Each side has a zipper at the top by the handle. They have included a smaller clear plastic bag insert,which is only big enough to store a small amount of cosmetics or a few hair items. The bag is made well with sturdy materials including the zipper which is heavy duty. It is also very water friendly materials and will wash easily if something spills. I would give it 5 stars if it had included elastic storage holders on the inside compartments to hold bottles and other items in place. A nice case, lightweight and sturdy for travel. Cute too!
