Travel Make-Up Case Review

I love having suitcase and cosmetic bag options when I travel, or go camping!

This one is really compact! There's two velcro bars that come with it, so it can be split up however it works best with the user. I fit a lot in the main part of the bag.

The pocket up at the top has a velcro as well. It splits apart in two different ways, to reveal 3 different compartments.

One: A Big Mesh Pocket

I just put a few make-up brushes in there. I do kind of wish I had velcro or a zipper to help hold those things in place. They slipped out every time I'd try to get to another pocket behind it.

Two: Another Big Mesh Pocket

I put a wooden comb in there. I don't really use a comb, but it's just for this review. I mainly have a comb for combing out hair out of a bigger brush I do use. I think Isaak uses it on his hair as well. This pocket is tighter than the first one featured, so nothing would slip out.

Three: Small Mini Pockets

Lipsticks, lip glosses, chapstick, fingernail polish, or even small pill bottles could go in these. I have lipsticks in them right now.

Uses:

I don't know exactly what I'll use it for to be honest.

• More than likely it will get used for make-up. I don't use a lot of makeup. Certainly some for sure. 

• I could use it for medicine. My nasal wash salt, neti pot, and meds eat up space when I travel. I'd love to have a bag just for that stuff. 

• I go through times where I wear a lot of hair things. 

• A man case. Mica is getting older. They may want a case to carry a razor, soap, shaving cream, and more.

What would you use it for?

NALEDI Metal Tube Squeezer

I've talked about getting a Metal Tube Squeezer for years. It's kind of an odd thing to want. As an artist I find that I could use one for paint. As a Mother I find that I could use one for toothpaste.

Where to Get the NALEDI Metal Tube Squeezer:

You can get it on Amazon Prime for $12.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XYN79GL

It comes in a nice box that's a little bigger than a wallet.

What Can This Metal Tube Squeezer Be Used for:

• Paint Tubes
• Toothpaste
• Hand creams
• Lotions 
• Cosmetics
• Glues

...and anything else that comes in a tube.

How is it Used?

Put the base of the tube in the squeezer. Hold the two metal sections below tight. Start turning it with your other hand. It squeezes all the stuff in the tube to the top. It leaves no air; making the product last longer.

I pictured it two different ways. I did this on purpose. The top photo below is for left handed people. My Dad is left handed, so when I realized it could be used this way I thought I should point that out. The bottom is for right handed people like me. It's easiest to turn it with your more dominate hand. you just flip it over and can use it whatever way you'd like.

Does Everyone Need a Tube Squeezer:

No, but for me it's certainly handy! It's one of those want items. Not a need item.

I will get more paint or anything out of a tube than I ever would without the metal tube squeezer. To me that's worth it. I don't like to waist things at all!

I can use it on paint in the classroom, and at home on toothpaste. Isaak get to the bottom of the toothpaste tube, and has to have us help him every time.

Could you use a metal tube squeezer? What would you use it for?

Pure Organic Raw Unrefined Organic Shea Butter Review

Shea butter is one of natures best gifts to the world of organic cosmetics. It can be used as an organic base or ingredient, and in its natural form applied directly to skin and hair. Cornucopia Brands sells a Shea Butter that's unrefined and virgin.

You can buy shea butter on Amazon for $14.55. 

I've used shea butter to make deodorant, my own lip balm, and just to rub in the skin. 

It did look interesting when I opened the container. It's much like coconut oil, once you put it onto your skin it melts, and soaks in.

Prime Ingredient

Often times unrefined pure shea butter is the primary ingredient in many moisturizing products. Accounts from as early as Cleopatra's Egypt speak of caravans bearing clay jars of valuable shea butter for cosmetic use. 

The funeral beds of early kings were carved in the wood of shea trees. 

Today shea butter is still used. It can be used straight on the skin, or mixed with other ingredients to make moisturizer, conditioners, deodorant, lip balms, soaps, creams, and more.

Cornucopia packages their brand in a 14 ounce container. It weighs just 1 ounce shy of 1 pound. 

 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
