If you are a woman like me who uses lots of products, keeping up your routine while you are traveling is important. However, the challenge is how to bring all of your lotions and potions with you.
Most of the products that I use on my face don’t come in travel-sizes, and if they do, it’s usually in non-refillable sample sizes. So, I began to search for a solution to those issues. I wanted something small I could put everything in, stay organized, and reuse again and again on each trip. That’s when I found the Palette ‘High Fiver’, and it was everything I had been looking for.
What is a Palette?
The Palette High Fiver is a collection of five little rubber pots with screw on lids. They are connected to each other on a palette. Each pot can hold up to .17oz of liquid, gel, cream, oil, and powder.
Here is the description from the website, “Refillable, washable, reusable, game changing. This twice patented innovative smart beauty and travel tool lets you customize and bring all your favorite skincare, beauty and personal care products on-the-go, with no need for single-use travel size products, skincare minis, disposable skin care travel sets or awkward travel bottles and travel containers. Fill and organize your skincare and beauty routine in seconds. No more leaky bottles. Washes out like a dream. Fill, wash, rinse, repeat. Over and over again.”
How I Use It
Each pot is numbered 1-5, so I use it for my daily face routine. I portion out how much I will need of each product, based on the days I will be away. I always have plenty of room left in each of my pots. For example, if I use two pumps of pigment serum each day, then if I’m away for 7 days, I just put 14 pumps in the pot and screw on the lid. If it’s something in a jar, I will use a cotton swab to portion it out and transfer it into the pot.
If I have any product still in the pots when I get home, I just leave the Palette on my counter and use the remaining product before washing the Palette out. The bottom of the pots are rubber, and you can push up from the bottom too, just so you can get every last drop of whatever you put in there.
The only tricky thing is remembering which product is in which pot. I usually put them in the pots in order I normally use them, so it makes sense to me. You can also jot it down in the notes on your phone too, just in case.
Why it’s Amazing!
The space that I’m able to save with the Palette is fantastic. I don’t have to bring any of my full-size products with me, which allows me more room and weight for other things in my suitcase.
I also love that I don’t have to invest in travel-sized portions of what I need, because I have a reusable Palette that I can just refill each time. Especially if I’m only traveling with a carry-on, having all my liquids and gels in one place, in a small amount is so convenient.
The Palette is TSA approved too, so no worries there, just in case you were wondering!
