This is a tragedy. For so many reasons. First it is a TOTAL mess when you discover that this heart breaking thing has happened. Second, it is a huge mess to clean up. What if I was unaware that this had happened and opened the eye shadow palette up in a client’s home and dispersed dark grey eye shadow fragments all over their expensive carpet? That would be another sort of tragedy, and a carpet cleaning bill to round it off!

My shattered eye shadows and blushes were the result of a recent job out of town where flying was necessary. The blame goes to the airline and whoever was inspecting my case of makeup supplies. Everything was packed to ensure durability, some things wrapped in towels and nestled in their little cubbies in my waterproof, smash proof Pelican case. My supplies survived the trip to the job just fine. The way back was another story. When I got home and began to unpack my makeup, everything was out of order and the eye shadow palettes were out of their protective cubbies and unwrapped from the cushioning towels.
OK airport security, what did you think they were?? Not that I am really angry with airport security, but if you tear my stuff up, please put it back how it was or else this mess happens. It’s obviously delicate! They must not know how annoying it is to have shattered grey eye shadow or peach sparkly blush everywhere.
So, when you all travel with your makeup, hopefully you don’t have quite as much as I do, but wrap everything like it’s going to battle. They might “rearrange” it at the airport, but at least you tried. The next time that I have to fly with all my makeup again, there will be a lot of bubble wrap involved. Maybe some thin foam packing in there too for certain products. Airport security will really go nuts! Happy travels, and may your makeup be unbroken.
