I just wanted to share how sweet my husband is! As I said in an earlier post, I really wanted the Urban Decay Book of Shadows: Vol 2, but my husband didn't get it for me. Instead, he got me something way better: a train case with a custom made cover. The cover really wasn't necessary because the train case is made to protect your make up while you transport it, but he wanted to go the extra mile on this Christmas present. A friend of ours makes purses, but she pretty much designs and sews anything else. (Here's her site: Ali Rags) My husband got in touch with her to make this project. She had told me a while back how she found this vintage, peacock sort of fabric (I loooooooove peacocks and decorating with peacock things), and I was planning on having her make a custom purse for me but never got around to it. My husband took advantage of my procrastination/forgetfulness and had her use it for my train case cover!
This is just an inside view of the case. It probably won't fit all of my make up, but for now while I've just been doing make up for friends (weddings, proms, etc), it should be sufficient. Plus, if I want to film a tutorial somewhere besides my bathroom, it is useful for carrying what I plan to use just for that tutorial.
This is what the closed train case looks like with the cover unsecured.This is the cover fully covering the train case and secured (with Velcro) at the top.
