Cosmetics bag or case is just a bag that holds the makeup, but if you have A LOT of makeup, you would want a train case that folds out, that's what professional makeup artists use, but true makeup aficionados also appreciate a profession well-designed train case to show off their makeup.

I don't like the term vanity case, I visit a lot of makeup forums and the accepted name is "train case" its the universal term, some people might use "vanity case" but it's not the the norm. Train case is more popular and accepted!

A vanity by itself is just the stand where one can sit and apply makeup at.

Anyways, I'm really into makeup and traincases so I could talk about this all day long basically.
