Stowaway Makeup Review

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]It seems like lifetimes ago, but I was once a road-warrior. Trust me, those of us flying regularly deserve to use the term “warrior”.

I rose in the early AM on Monday to hop a jet, sometimes having to wake as early as 3 am. By the time I landed, it already felt like I had worked a full day, but no. There was at a minimum a 9 hour workday facing me before I got to check into my hotel room. Sometimes I was up a full 24 hours before I had the opportunity to sleep.

Among the many challenges of travel is missing the creature comforts of home. This long-time makeup lover had to abandon a vast selection in favor of a succinct collection that would suit my daily needs and fit easily in my carry-on. Each week I had only two lip colors to choose from, two or three eye pencils, and a tiny neutral shadow compact (or no shadow at all).

The founders of Stowaway Cosmetics are familiar with this conundrum. It doesn’t only affect frequent travelers, but women who exercise at a gym, need to reapply at work, or heck, anyone who wants to tote an assortment of cosmetics with her day-to-day. The brand is working to reduce makeup bulk by offering a line of petite products with luxe formulas.

Eddie Funkhouser Lips!

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]Nothing jazzes this jaded makeup lover more than getting my hands on a brand I’ve never used, especially when even my most critical friends have been gushing over it. Eddie Funkhouser decided to pass along some of his incredible lip products for the entire Makeup Wars team to test drive, and I was so excited!

Before I give you a closer look, I want to talk pricing. I recently explained to my regular readers that I do my best to sample product without reading any promotional materials or looking at pricing. My goal is to provide as unbiased a review as possible. This former buyer also loves to guess what the retail is, based on the performance and appearance of the product. I am rarely surprised, but Eddie Funkhouser lip color performed like prestige product, at a much lower price point than expected!
