"The Y Bag is really designed for a modern woman who needs something versatile for everyday use," says Yigal Azrouel. "It's simple, but there's a toughness to the details that gives a stylish edge to whoever carries it."  

Taking its cues from the mini-camera bag in shape, this svelte black flap-front pouch sports a quilted cotton exterior with faux-leather detailing. The detachable wristlet strap and sleek magnetic closure tab make it ideal for travel. Utilitarian chic both inside and out, the interior comes lined in a graphic black and white leopard print and features a zippered mini-compartment, elastic loops, and a drawstring closure for extra-secure transport of all your beauty picks.

A $130 value, the Y Bag arrives with a $10 Beauty.com shopping card that can be used for future purchases, and a dozen samples in both trial and full sizes:

"The Designer Gift with Purchase Series on Beauty.com is now in its third year, and it's a fantastic example of how unique each designer's approach to creating a makeup bag can be," says Kathleen McNeill, President of Beauty.com. "The Y Bag is a compact and elegant solution for carrying beauty favorites—and with all the great samples included, we're giving customers a chance to discover some new ones, too."

Site wide gifts with purchase are just one of the perks available to Beauty.com customers.
