Often I see makeup artists carry these everywhere they go - this must be their version of attache cases in their profession. I am always in awe whenever I see their swoonworthy collection of makeup - countless arrays of eyeshadows ( my ultimate eyecandy is seeing palettes of these! ), blushes, foundations - creamy or powdery, lipsticks, ahh…this is too much! This just goes to show that I dream of being a makeup artist one day. Well not by profession , but maybe just for self realization/actualization. My nirvana. I can feel the bliss.

Professional Makeup Train Case
Ain’t this precious? I would feel like a makeup artist with this!!

My collection has become bigger ( though not humongous ) in the past few months due to my countless lemmings and addictions to certain brands like Bare Escentuals, NARS, Laura Mercier, Shu Uemura, MAC, and many more . Figuratively, my collection had transformed from stick-thin to voluptuous. As I see them pile up, I felt the need to organize. See, I clean my makeup (their containers ) with tissue paper every week and give them the well-deserved tender loving care in exchange for their beautiful effects they give on me, but I simply sought organization. My makeup were all piled up in a cute golden box, and though it was gorgeous, I wanted a makeup train case!!!

Japonesque Makeup Train Case

I actually bought one slightly “amateur” makeup train case a few months back, and when I fit my collection in, they seemed too cramped. Sigh, I had to return it to the store though I thought I got a good deal for $ 26! Usually, professional makeup train cases can range as low as $26 up to a steep $ 500! Shocking, but truly gratifying! I mean, what is money without happiness! haha. Hmm….now, back to that dreamy, professional train case. I think I might get a professional train case, though the smallest, since I’ve surfed through sites that offer really, stroller-sized train case! A sales representative could make do of that , though! hahaha

A pink one would be great, such as the Japonesque train case ( picture on the upper right ) . Gorgeous! Elle Woods would surely love one for her makeup goodies! :)

Sephora Midnight Train Case

This Sephora Midnight Train Case (image on the left ), in my personal opinion is a real beauty. Black is beautiful. Never have I seen such train case as classy and elegant as this! Drawback? The storage space. It must be too small for me. Well, I might get this and use this as an overnight makeup kit to replace my overnight makeup bag ! This is elegance oozing to the extreme, certainly makes me feel like modern royalty.

I might opt for a simple, but elegant and professional-looking silver train case. Who knows, it might take me places! hahaha =)

Go and house your makeup collection in beautiful train cases! =) Every collection needs a home =) In my case, a minimalist, yet classy & elegant home for my babies=)

    You should show us your collection. I love seeing what other people have. These are beautiful but wouldn’t work for me, I wish it would though.

    Hi Carla! Which wouldn’t work for you? As of now, my quest continues for that prettiest makeup train case that would fit my collection ! Not too small, not too big :) I think compared to your collection, mine would be smaller! (listening to your cool podcasts..:P ) I’ve disposed all my foundations due to my recent mineral makeup addiction :)

    It seems that I am also in need of a beauty train too. As I’ve been doing more and more reviews, it means less and less counter/drawer space in my two bathrooms. I think if I don’t find a place to store everything soon, my husband will divorce me. lol.
