my on-the-go summer makeup :: half-sized and half-priced premium makeup

circleAll right, Ladies.  Let’s chat makeup for a bit, shall we? Here are a few pet peeves I have with my makeup:  1.  My skin tone is not the same year-round, so my makeup is not the same year-round. But when I change up my makeup, I leave the rest unused and wasted.  2.  I love to have a few products with me at all times, but buying double of everything is not only expensive, but I’d rather not have to carry a diaper bag with me at all times just to house my makeup.  3.  Really, when is the last time you actually finished a whole eyeshadow palette or lipstick?  So what’s a girl to do?

Buy half-sized makeup!  That’s right!  It’s a real thing and it’s pretty much genius.  Stowaway Cosmetics makes half-sized makeup at half the price.  If you want a fun summer shade just to last the season, buy just the right size.  If you want to keep a menagerie of makeup in your purse, go for it!  In half-sizes, you can fit it in. And since half the size means half the cost, you don’t have to feel too guilty.  It’s a great way to try something new, order a lipstick just for a black tie event, stray from your “norm”.

Stowaway Cosmetics has everything you need–from concealer to eye palettes and everything in between.  I tried The Basics Kit–with BB cream, creaseless concealer, cheek stain (love the built-in mirror on this!), lipstick, eye pencil and mascara.  In short, everything I need.  Right away I noticed that these products are right on par with other premium makeup I have.  Lovely textures, subtle scents and enough pigmentation that I only need a small amount of makeup for great coverage.  So not only is the makeup a great size, but it’s high quality.  And using less saves me both time and money.  So if I am heading from a park playdate with my kids to a dinner out with friends, I can give myself a quick 5-minute makeover with the Stowaway I have stashed in my purse.  And since I’m on the go ALL summer long, this is a perfect makeup solution for me.

IMG_9776Another huge bonus of Stowaway Cosmetics is their cosmetic concierge.  If, like me, you’re just not sure what shades are best for you, the concierge can look at a picture of you and help choose the shades that are best for your skin tones.  I used this service and loved their choices!  I now have a new favorite lipstick and cheek stain, thanks to Stowaway’s concierge service.

There’s so much to love about Stowaway Cosmetics.  Tell me what you’d love most about half-sized makeup!
