Review on Durable And Collapsible Reusable Grocery Shopping Tote By CleverMade by Chris Lapan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Dimensions a little misleading, but still a great tote

First of all, let me say that I like this tote very much. I'll be using it to carry around an absolute mess of beauty products for an upcoming family wedding this fall; I'll be traveling by car, staying in hotels for a while, and doing a LOT of hair. Regular toiletry bags weren't going to come anywhere close to carrying what I needed, so I decided to go with something much bigger (and cuter). This tote is sturdy, it looks nice, and it will fill its purpose just fine.That said, I was disappointed to realize that the dimensions in the photo (shown with measurement lines at the BOTTOM of the tote) are actually the dimensions of the TOP of the item. Since the tote tapers toward its base, the bottom dimensions are about 2-2.5" smaller, and the dividers I carefully selected to fit inside are just slightly too large to open all the way. Luckily, the sides of the tote (and the dividers I bought separately) aren't rigid, so it will still be able to hold 90% of what I'd hoped it would.For reference, the photo shows the tote holding 2 12"x5" diaper bag dividers, 2 full size bottles of body wash, 2 full size bottles of face wash, 2 10oz bottles of shampoo/conditioner, 3 bottles of leave-in conditioners ranging from 2oz to 12oz, full size bottles of hairspray, mousse, and heat protectant, 2 small jars of facial moisturizer, 1 small bottle of facial toner, 2 small jars of body butter, 1 small bottle of lotion, lip scrub/balm, 3 different sunscreens (from a medium sized tube to a big family sized spray bottle), an epilator with its charger, an electric toothbrush with its charger, deodorant, a full-sized hand mirror, a 6" flat box of hair ties and pins, an 8" flat box of crocodile clips, a great big jaw clip, a 4.3" bun donut, a full size blow-dryer, a very large volumizer, and a curling wand. I forgot to stick all my combs in there before the pic, but there's still room for some flatter things so they should fit fine.So yeah, even if it's not quite as large as I expected, it can still hold a lot, and I might even be able to get my brushes in there if I swap some full-size bottles out for travel-size bottles.
