For the true glamour girl, a well-stocked makeup bag is almost as essential as a passport when traveling. Fly without lipstick? I shudder at the thought. Since overpacking is a no-no, multi-tasking beauty products that take up minimal space yet deliver great results are a must.
When I was invited to review POP Beauty, I was immediately impressed by their selection of travel friendly kits that are compact in size but chock-full of color. Founded by British beauty Sara Strand, POP's motto is "shakeup your makeup".
If you want the ability to create versatile looks at home and away, I highly recommend POP's Goddess Clutch. This deluxe kit features coordinated colors for the eyes, cheeks and lips - a total of 11 colors for only $32. The petite Goddess Clutch fits perfectly in your purse or you can even pop out the makeup and use the sophisticated case as a clutch. I added a dab of the golden gloss over my lipstick and a sweep of shadow for a subtle daytime glow. For evening, I look forward to layering the eyeshadows and adding a bit of cheek color for a more va-va-voom look.
If you really want to play up your peepers, try the Pin Up POP - twelve eye shadows snuggled together in a lightweight mirrored case for only $9.99. The shadows are grouped in 3 combos that make it easy for you to create a smoky eye and sexy 1940's style pin-up girl looks.
If you could use some pointers on application techniques, the POP Beauty site has a how-to on taking your face from day-to-play. If you want more personalized help, you can even e-mail Sara and take advantage of her generous offer to save your day with her expert tips. What a gal!
