An evening bag? Really?

I immediately think "overnight bag" when I hear evening bag.

So, are nighttime essentials like all-night essentials (make-up remover, three kinds of soap & moisturizer, all your shower necessities, toothbrush, sleepwear, change of clothes, etc.)? Or are nighttime essentials like powder & lipstick, a brush, money, ID and credit cards?

When I think evening bag it's usually shiny and/or beaded.
