I’m going on a short trip to Chicago this weekend to stay with a friend and visit The Makeup Show. This is how a product obsessed junkie packs to go see other product obsessed junkies who want to buy more stuff!
It doesn’t look that bad at first. Until you start opening the bags. And find the bags inside the bags.
