Organized travel system!
I love my Beauty & the Box makeup and travel system! Since my husband is a retired airline captain, we enjoy lots of travel opportunities. Having my makeup organized for travel, as well as neat and tidy while we are at our destination makes everything easier. Not only am I ready to catch a plane with ease, but also the bathroom counter at our hotel is organized and clean during our stay. I feel that I am a better houseguest when visiting friends and family, too! Thank you for this terrific tool!
