Bon Voyage, Makeup Brushes!



Traveling makeup fiends, rejoice.
Cutest makeup brush roll ever. That is all.

Specs:
-About a dozen slots for brushes, in various sizes
-Folding brush roll

Cost:
Depends on print/size of brush roll

Availability:
Etsy or contact Teresa Ellis directly.

Review:

I've been on the search for a good solution for traveling with my makeup brushes for years. I've stuffed them into my makeup case (not the most sanitary option), put them in a separate makeup bag, but it's always resulted in the biggest mess and hassle when searching through my 15 brushes for the ONE I want to use.

Then, one day I stumbled upon Teresa Ellis, a lovely woman from Texas who makes these incredibly cute brush holders. CUPCAKE PRINT?! Hell Yeah! She has an ETSY store, if you're interested in snapping up a cute holder. HALLELUJAH! Praise the makeup Gods! My brushes can finally fly with me, first-class. Not stuffed with 60 other makeup items (kind of like getting the seat next to the bathroom, sitting next to a crying baby and a chatty person who doesn't ever stop talking). UPGRADE! 

This keeps my brushes clean and organized, and on top of that, is so incredibly PINK and adorable.

Recommendation:
If you've been looking for a good brush roll, your search is over. You can find a lot of people on ETSY who make them, but I just happened to purchase mine from Teresa. They all differ in prints and in the minor details, but basic functionality is pretty much the same. I love my brush roll to pieces and use it every time I travel, and it's still in good shape, so I deem it a pretty smart purchase.

These are rather inexpensive compared to the brush rolls you can buy from big makeup companies, and these are machine washable! 
If you have a sewing machine handy, you can even try making one yourself (Google/Youtube should have tutorials).

Grade:
9/10
