If your cosmetic case bears the scars of past skirmishes with Chanel, Essie and Crest, there's no better excuse to get a fresh start than this stylish cosmetic pouch from Bellora, the luxury Italian linen company. The pure white honeycombed Egyptian cotton, the adorable lunchbox shape and Gucci-esque toggles caught my eye, but I fell in love with all the practical features—it's roomy enough for almost every beauty product you need, it has a leakproof plastic lining and the shape allows bottles to stand upright (so there's less chance of toxic spills).
