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.

Stowaway Makeup Review
Stowaway Radiant Complexion BB Cream isn’t just tiny. The formula of this medium-coverage BB cream is compliant with EU standards (arguably the most stringent safety standards on the globe).
Stowaway’s “fair” shade works beautifully on my skin, and leans just a tiny bit yellow. I love that, as it helps me neutralize redness. This is the lightest shade of Beauty Balm offered by the brand. Tube is .85 fl oz. Other shades include Light, Medium, and Tan. Retail price is $22.
A bit thicker than the BB Cream, Stowaway Creaseless Concealer is adept at covering blemishes and hiding the under eye circles that plague a tired road-warrior. Ingredients like Coconut oil and hyaluronic acid help improve the health and texture of the skin while you wear it. Tube is .15 oz and about the length of my pinky finger! Other shades include Light, Medium, and Tan. Retail price $16.
Oh, how I adore this teensy little Lip/Cheek Color compact! Apparently it’s about 1/3 the size of an average blush. It’s actually only a bit wider than my favorite full-sized concealer, and could easily fit in my wallet. Why carry that extra weight around when both your cheeks and lips can look gorgeous using this one tiny product?
Stowaway Cheek & Lip Rouge in Peony is a fresh, vibrant medium-pink. Compact is .08 oz. Retail price is $15. Also available in Burnt Rose.
Stowaway Defined Lash Mascara delivers the darkest, inky-black lashes! I love that the tube is tiny, but the applicator-brush is large and curved in a cobra-head shape that is so effective for application. Tube is .14 fl. oz. Retail is $12.
Stowaway Crème Lipstick has a fluffy and light feel to it, and delivers incredible, smooth color. Tube is .05 oz, and retail price is $15. Also available in Champagne and Scarlet.
It’s a bit tricky applying Stowaway Effortless Eyeliner, as the pencil is short. My wish would be for the cap to also double as an extender to make application easier. The formula delivers tug-free, smooth application and while it’s blendable, the precision point can also deliver a very fine line for a more natural look. Retail price is $10. Also available in Jet.
All of these Stowaway products fit neatly in the Stowaway makeup bag, with room to spare for other shades! Kick off your experience with Stowaway buy purchasing The Stowaway Kit for $75. It contains each of the products you see here, in your choice of color!
