The thing about makeup is – it has to be organized. Otherwise, you wind up with half a dozen lipsticks in the same great shade because you couldn’t find the others. But stashing your favorite beauty pick-me-ups in a drawer isn’t an option for a lot of women – especially those who live in tiny apartments or older homes with pedestal sinks and virtually no storage. But one great way to keep your things organized at home and on the road is with a chic and roomy train case. Some personal faves include:
Rimowa Limbo Beauty Case. Boasting an aluminum frame and an elegant, black polycarbonate exterior, this stunning beauty case is as durable as it is stylish. Use it at home or on the road. With a bag like this, you can take your makeup must-haves anywhere.
Royce Leather Milano Top Grain Cosmetic Travel Case. In luscious leather with a waterproof lining, it’s the perfect toiletries case for men and women alike. And with a large main compartment and a smaller, zippered space for the little items you may not use every day (like your gold eye pencil and sharpener), it’s an excellent choice for wherever you are.
Pan Am Luggage Hawaii Magic Carpet Norman Rockwell Train Case. This classic (and somewhat kitschy) train case will keep your favorite things organized and inspire you to channel your inner Rita Hayworth with every swipe of the lipstick.
Samsonite Black Label Alexander McQueen Beauty Case. Say “hello” to modern glamour with this gorgeous Alexander McQueen beauty case designed for chic travel and at home style. In black canvas and striking croco-embossed leather, it’s the perfect bag for a serious style maven.
Samsonite Epsilon Beauty Case. This classic case closes relatively flat and packs beautifully in the bottom of your bag. Best of all, it has a mirror for quick touch-ups on the go. And – because it’s from Samsonite, you know it’ll last, well, forever. (I still have my grandmother’s mint-condition Samsonite train case.)
