Ahh I can't decide on these cases. I need something that isn't too heavy to carry around as I am on foot. Straps are important. I just don't know if the aluminum one would be much fun to cart about. Opinions plz :
I already have the second one, and I enjoy it a lot. ( Mine is silvertoned, though). I actually want another. Your first choice is yummy! I'd go with that one!
I like the first one cos it seems really portable and convenient but I like how the second one looks more. But in terms of having a make-up case for travelling, etc...I'd go for the first one.
