I'm looking to purchase a traincase to store makeup when I'm on the go (not for storing my collection around the house). I "may" be temporarily moving to another country for a few years and want to take my makeup along. I'm looking for a hard or metal outter one that's perhaps not HUGE in size but a good size to fit my most used makeup (but not my whole collection - I'm going to have to leave non-to-often used things at home). I'm really not familiar with traincases and was wondering what sizes/brands/inner designs I should be looking for and which type of traincase will fit the most for its size. I will consider any price range for now.
To get an idea of what I'm trying to put/fit into a traincase, I've listed some of my most used makeup below:
Most of my essential makeup are either MAC (mostly a lot of pigments in original jars, only a few essential eyeshadows in pots, blushes, only a few lipliners, Blacktrack fluidline, brushes, lipglosses and lipsticks), Dior (mostly a lot of lipsticks, only a few glosses, liquid foundation, mascara, one or two eyeshadow quints) and BE (foundation/concealer/mineral veil).
Besides a few basics like foundation (liquid/mineral), mascara, eyeliner/lipliner, I think I want to dedicate most room in the traincase for lipsticks (my passion), pigments, and blushes.
Of course I won't be able carry all my makeup when I move, but I want to find a traincase that will fit most of my essentials and then some without being too heavy or huge in size.
Also, I'm looking for a good brush roll to store most/all of my brushes in when I travel - perhaps something that will store at least 10+ brushes (brushes with the biggest handle that I have is the 182, but I doubt that will fit in any brush roll anyways - so the next fattest handle would be the 187, followed by the 188 and one or two other face brushes I have - the rest have handle sizes equal or smaller than something like the 217)
I know there are restrictions on fluids as carry-ons, but if I take out any fluid makeup (i.e. foundation, mascara), can I take the rest of my makeup (i.e. powder (loose and pigments), pressed powder items (including powder blushes, eyeshadow, lipsticks-tube style, and fluidlines) as carry-on for international flights?
Any recommendations on traincases/brush rolls and tips on travelling/packing makeup for travelling would be greatly appreciated. It'd be great if you could let me know approx how much makeup (and of what size variety) fits in a recommended traincase if you happen to own it.
Thanks so much guys and gals!
