Okay, here we go, let me tell you about my Rimowa makeup case adventure!
Alright, so I’ve been wanting a Rimowa makeup case forever. I mean, who doesn’t? They’re just so damn classy and durable. But damn, they’re expensive! I finally decided to bite the bullet and treat myself. This wasn’t some impulse buy; I’d been saving for a while.
First off, the research. I spent ages online, watching YouTube reviews, comparing sizes, and trying to figure out which one would work best for my needs. I checked out the official Rimowa website, of course, and some authorized retailers too. There are so many fakes out there, and I definitely didn’t want to get burned. Always check for authenticity!
I ended up going with the Rimowa Classic Cabin S in silver. It’s the perfect size for a carry-on, and it just looks so iconic. Ordering it was nerve-wracking, honestly. That price tag stings! But I kept telling myself it was an investment.
When it arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Unboxing it was an experience in itself. The packaging was so well done, and the case itself was even more beautiful in person. That aluminum gleam! 😍
Now, the fun part: organizing my makeup. I spent a good hour just staring at the empty case, trying to decide how to best utilize the space. I knew I wanted to keep things organized and easy to access. I bought some clear acrylic organizers and dividers to help with that. I measured everything carefully to make sure they would fit snugly inside the case.
I started by placing my larger palettes at the bottom, then added the smaller ones on top. I used the dividers to separate my brushes, lipsticks, and other smaller items. It was like a Tetris game, trying to fit everything in perfectly.
- Bottom Layer: Large Palettes
- Middle Layer: Smaller Palettes & Compacts
- Top Layer: Brushes, Lipsticks, Eyeliners (Organized with Dividers)
It took a few tries to get it just right, but I was eventually happy with the layout. Everything was neatly organized and easy to find. I even had some extra space for travel-sized products.
I’ve taken the case on a few trips already, and it’s been amazing. It’s so much easier to keep my makeup organized on the go. Plus, it just looks so chic rolling through the airport! 💁♀️
Things I Learned Along the Way:
- Measure, measure, measure! Seriously, measure everything before buying organizers.
- Don’t overpack. It’s tempting to bring everything, but you really only need the essentials.
- Protect the aluminum. Those scratches are real! Consider a cover if you’re super worried.
Was it worth the money? Honestly, yeah. It’s a splurge, but I love the quality and the organization. It makes traveling with makeup so much easier and more enjoyable. Plus, it looks damn good. 😎
So there you have it, my Rimowa makeup case journey. Hope this helps if you’re considering getting one yourself!
