Ultimate Travel Case for Packing and Organizing Beauty Products

 

 

Recently, I was at Target looking for a new makeup case for an upcoming trip and I stumbled across this travel case that is intended as a nail polish carrier.  Even though it was distracting for me to get past the thought of someone out there needing a travel case for 25 nail polishes (no judging), I took a closer look just to see the possibilities.

 

 

 

As I looked closer, I realized that the dividers are actually inserts that slide right out!  So, a couple of the dividers could be pulled out to make wider divided slots but I could still keep some of the narrow (nail polish size) compartments.  My brain churned because I realized that I could actually probably get all of my hair products (travel size), skin care, makeup and other sundries all into one nice little case instead of my normal 3-4 bags. It also hit me that this would so easy to work out of in a hotel bathroom, just on the counter top.

I couldn’t buy the case fast enough and got home and packed it up:

 

 

So you can see in the above image that I removed two vertical dividers on the right side and on the left side, I left the vertical divider in for smaller compartments. Everything fits snuggly to not move around and is neatly organized.

So this is how I organized it by compartments starting with top left going down and then the next row-top down to give you an idea for organizing and packing this case (and for things you can’t really see);

1. Lip glosses
2. Lip Sticks/Lip Pencils
3. Makeup Brushes
4. Toothpaste, Mouthwash and Floss
5. Q-tips
6. Makeup (Foundation and Bronzer)
7. (2) Makeup Compacts Slid Down on Sides
8. Makeup (Eye Shadow, Mascara, Liner, Curler, Blush, Concealer Stick)
9. Samples and Nail Polish (I always slide in samples just in case I run out of something)
10. Baby Powder and Hand Sanitizer
11. Travel Size Shampoo, Conditioner and Hairspray
12. Hair Ties, Hair Products
13. Cleanser and Primer
14. Night Skin Care and Moisturizer
15. Body Lotion and Body Products

 

 

I didn’t even completely fill in every compartment or the top part of the case, so there is even more room!  The other thing is that the many of these items will always remain packed in this case (except my makeup) because I picked up trial sizes, so every time I travel (which is quite a bit these days), most of my beauty products will be already packed.  I kept the dividers so I can customize the compartments for every trip.

One other thing, by using a case like this, I can slip it in my suitcase or carry it on with me on a flight because everything is less than 3 oz.  By the way, this case would be a great way to organize smaller things in a bathroom cabinet like nail polishes, extra makeup, skincare products and even jewelry.

I just couldn’t resist sharing my little find with you guys (can you tell I’m a little excited?).  There are even more cases out there like this one for nail polishes that are just as good (Target had several), so the next time you see one, see if the dividers slip out. Or, maybe you’re one of those that needs a nail polish case for traveling with 25 nail polishes 🙂

If you are interested in picking up this particular case, it’s sold out on Amazon right now.  However, the only other place I have been able to find it is at Target here.  If you’re interested in picking it up at your local Target, you’ll find it in the makeup section (I actually found it on an end cap of the nail polish aisle.

Thanks for stopping by friends!

Cheers!
