When I got my hands on my Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner - link, a couple months ago one of my first thoughts was - this is so great! Why haven't other brands picked up on this & done their take on it? It seems like Laura Mercier read my mind as she has created a new limited edition Custom Artist Portfolio For Home & Away.


A deluxe makeup case that contains special compartments for all your cosmetics, brushes, eye liners, eyeshadows & face products!
Housed in a beautiful metallic snakeskin planner this is just a girls dream! Everything you use all in one handy place - perfect for travelling. 

What it comes with:
4 magnetic makeup bags you can remove and use by themselves if you wish
2 empty eyeshadow palettes - one with six slots and one with three
A removable brush holder

The Good
- Can fit all your makeup bits in one convenient place
- The makeup bags can be used separately 
- Really easy to organise your makeup rather than rummaging for items
- The Brushes are covered by a flap so they are kept clean
- Fits tons!
- Such beautiful packaging!


The bad
- Is quite clunky
- Won't be able to fit it into a handbag
- Will probably take up more room in a suitcase than if all the same makeup was in a different bag
- The palettes will only fit Laura Mercier eyeshadows
- What I was most disappointed about - only Laura Mercier brushes will fit in the brush holder (apart from two slots) My Dior, Real Techniques & Louise Young brushes wouldn't fit! 

Overall if you're looking for a handbag size I would recommend the Trish McEvoy Petite Planner but the Laura Mercier Portfolio fits much much more & is perfect for travelling! They would also make fantastic gifts! These are £65 and are limited edition. I expect they will sell out fast so hurry!
