Wow 4 pounds is quite heavy for a bag. Thanks for the info. I think I'll pass on the Miranda since I have 2 little kids it's hard enough to carry a heavy bag.I don't think it's too big, but you might find it too heavy. Someone said it weighs four pounds empty. I believe at least that. I was trying to imagine how heavy lip gloss is and if I removed it, would the bag be lighter.
