You remember Caboodles - and probably owned more than one. I personally had a plastic clear pink box with sparkles. It was the hip thing to have as a sixth grader! I put all of my Bonne Bell make up in it too - they make those little "Smackers" lip stick/chap stick things. I owned them in weird bizarre flavors like cherry coke. As fun as this reminiscing is, there is a point.
I was in the market for a train case. I have a decent amount of makeup, and up until now I had been keeping it all in the myriad of Clinique gift-with-purchase bags I had. I decided to buy something bigger that I could keep everything in. After doing some research (I research EVERYTHING by the way), I decided to go to my local Walgreen's and buy this Caboodles Ultimate Organizer train case for 29.99. Click here to buy it
I was reluctant at first - I'm 20 years old! Shouldn't I be buying a train case at Sephora? Isn't Caboodles a little out dates? Then I realized, I'm a poor college student who can't really afford anything more than Caboodles. How did it turn out?
Here is a picture I took - both sides extend fully, I just left one of them up so you could see it better.
When I opened this thing up, I was shocked how spacious and roomy it was - this thing is pretty big! It is on the heavy side - about 5 lbs, and 12 inches tall. It comes with 2 little keys so you can lock up your precious pigments from unsuspecting roommates... The inside is made out of jacquard fabric so it's easy to wipe out. The outside is made out of this strange faux leather. It's the only thing I don't like about this case. It seems like maybe it could dent easily? I'm not sure. If you don't care about how the outside of your case looks, then this is irrelevant. It seems to be pretty sturdy as well.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. For 30 bucks, it's good quality. I almost wish it was a *little* smaller, but my makeup collection will probably grow...
So anyone else have this? Opinions, comments?
