Makeup Artist Series: Traincases

Hi Bellas!

I get a lot of questions from aspiring makeup artists on tips, tricks, techniques and advice to help them get started. I've been wanting to do this series for a while to show you all some things I've learned along the way. The next installment in the series will focus on Makeup Artist Chairs.

Today I will be featuring traincases. These are essential for traveling makeup artists or even for those who are looking to store makeup. In the video, I go over the benefits and purposes of a traincase, qualities you'll want to look for, as well as show you my collection of traincases.

I'm a huge nerd when it comes to researching a product. After hours of internet searching, I found that http://www.yazmo.com/ was the best resource for finding a huge assortment of professional makeup traincases at a decent price. This is after comparing prices on various price finder sites and intense googling.

I've been able to partner with yazmo to offer you guys a great deal. Check out these discount codes and special offers:

Use the code renren to get 10% off your total order!
Also, for the month of November, you get free shipping! (This helps a lot since traincases are super heavy and expensive to ship)
Lastly, all orders over $99 (which are most of the nicer traincases) get a free 9 piece brush set!

Make sure to check out the video if you are an aspiring makeup artist or if you're in the market for a new traincase.


I'm currently in love with the Pro Aluminum Makeup Case All Black 4 Wheeled Spinner TS-88A. It's the newest model and seems to combine all of the best qualities of my former traincases into one.

PROS
-Of course I love how it has all 4 wheels so it can be spun 360 degrees. This makes it easier to navigate and twist and turn in tight places. Also, you don't have to worry about dragging it at a 45 degree angle which places all of the weight on your arm. Instead, you can just keep it upright on 4 wheels and push it...so much lighter!
-I like the padded, vinyl lined trays. They look nicer and cushion makeup more when you travel.
-The sleek black finish makes it look super professional and very chic.
-Holds a lot of makeup!
-Removeable trays, straps, keys and lock are a plus
-Drawer lining makes it easy to clean
-Wheels are very smooth and run easily

CONS
-it doesn't have the elastic straps on the inside lid and sides of bottom portion like it's predecessor the ts-36
-the trays on the top portion of the traincase could pull out a little farther in my opinion, I don't like when you have to reach under the tray to reach items in the tray below it.

I hope you guys enjoyed my first installment in this series. Stay tuned for more!
