SHANY Essential Pro Makeup Train Case Cosmetic Box Portable Makeup Case Cosmetics Beauty Organizer Jewelry storage with Locks, Multi Compartments Makeup Box and Shoulder Strap - Rose Gold

When I received this case, I was shocked at its size and weight. To begin, it took up half of my 29" Olympia luggage. It was quite heavy for me to lift, and I see this being the only disadvantage going forward as I my muscle tone is not as it should be for a young person. The case is beautiful on the outside, and seems to have a very slight shine to it as displayed in the picture. It seems like a long lasting heavy duty plastic on the outside. The clips on the outside are a little bit flimsy, so take your time to ensure that you pay attention when closing them to preserve its life. The inside seems to be of good quality as well. Lots of room in there. The separators are movable so you can partition the upper channels as you want. The bottom seems to be carpeted neatly with some sort of suede-ish material. It comes with keys for the locks. I should mention that I am not a make up artist, and wont even call myself a makeup enthusiast. I do like makeup, and I have some quality items, but yet it seems like plenty for me, but certainly not enough for a makeup enthusiast. All my things can fit in this case; however it will be to heavy for me to carry around on trips to relatives, worse yet foreign. I wanted a large enough case for easily carrying around all my makeup and for use at home; and although this will be to heavy for me, I am so impressed with it that I must give it 5 stars. Please note before purchase I did read the reviews of this and several other products which said they were to small to fit all your make up; with the exception of this one, hence I went for this one. I guess many of those reviewers who indicated that the other cases were to small were probably makeup professionals or enthusiasts and have more makeup and muscle than me lol. Great case nevertheless.

This case is a wonderful size. This is also the best price I've found for a aluminum cosmetic case of this size. You can reposition the dividers in the top compartments and make them any size. You can also take out the dividers in the bottom and change the size of the bottom compartment. The two lower trays are not adjustable without breaking something, but that is not a problem. This is made so well, so sturdy. This case looks very professional. It comes with a shoulder strap if you need such a thing and a key to lock it if you need it. I really am impressed. This is an awesome product for your buck. I would have paid more but am glad I didn't have to. If you're thinking about buying it, get it. You won't be disappointed.

This is an amazing little makeup case. I bought it to replace the original one I had which was broken. This is considerably an upgrade because the trays are made of plastic and not of some sort of board covered in fabric. The bottom portion is quite deep. It comes with 8 dividers to divide the trays up a strap for travel and a key to lock it. And the bottom it also comes with a four-way divider. I don't need any other dividers I have entirely too much makeup but that's not the point. The point is is that I now have a wonderful durable large case to store my makeup in and not have to worry about anything getting broken anymore. The only thing I don't like is that the trays are not as wide as some of my eyeshadow palettes so I have to put them in at an angle and leave them that way. Now, that doesn't mean that I can't close the case because I can still close the case which I'm happy about. If you need a makeup case this is the route to go ladies!

I agonized over the decision to buy this case or not. I'm really glad I did! I watched 50-75 YouTube videos of people showing me what was in their train case (no exaggeration) just trying to catch a glimpse of the construction of the different cases available. I really didn't care about which new shimmery lip gloss they just got from smashbox, or how they just maxed out their Capital One Student MasterCard with the $300 limit at the grand opening of Ulta in their Podunk town. No one wanted to show me the actual case!! I decided to give it a shot since I am an Amazon Prime devotee, and they've been good to me in the past on the rare occasion I needed to return something. Let me be the first to report that this is a solid case! I'm new to all of this girly tribal face paint stuff, so forgive me if I don't know all of the technical terms. I will now list the important stuff that everyone like me who spends an average of 9 hours trying to decide which rectangular box to put her newly acquired goodies and dry wall knife applicators. Most importantly: the whole box is aluminum, unlike the crappy caboodles I saw at Target and Ulta that greeted me with cardboard sides caving in. Second most importantly: The expandable shelf thingies are not the least bit wobbly AND they come with removable/adjustable dividers. I will not lie and tell you that trying to remove these dividers from the second row of shelf thingies is an easy task. In fact I will throw out the "try this at your own risk" disclaimer. It's a bit of a challenge, but with patience and prayer I was able to succeed without tragedy. Fourth must importantly (uhh, I mean third): these shelf thingies are durable plastic, so they won't get ruined when you spill your war paint (though you may need q-tips and an hour or so of free time to get into all off the crevices). Back to fourth most importantly: the bottom compartment thingie is HUGE! It also has dividers, which can be removed with more prayer. I removed the longest one and keep my palettes on one side and all of the free samples I manage to acquire from Sephora and Origins on the other. OOPS! There I go telling you what's in my train case. I digress. Take it from one 34 year old mother who had no business staying up ALL NIGHT researching the train case truth for you (and a little for me) and calling into work the next day because she's not as resilient as she used to be. Go forth and buy with confidence!

Overall, I'm very happy with this makeup train case. If you are looking for something professional-quality, spend the money and buy an expensive one at Sephora. For what I paid for this case, I feel I got my money's worth. I gave it 4 stars because my only complaint is that when I go to close it, sometimes the sides don't line up exactly if you're not being careful. Just something to watch out for when you're shutting it. It's not the best quality, but it's not falling apart like I've seen some other people say in reviews. Sturdy enough for me to store and organize all my makeup (with room to spare). The plastic dividers slide in and out, so you can customize the size of the top drawers that fold out, which I love. If you're like me, your makeup is constantly changing, so what you're storing in it should be easily changed also. The bottom compartment that is divided into 4 spaces does have foam dividers (that don't stay perfectly in place, but as long as you don't overstuff it they are fine), but I don't see that as a problem. You cannot move the foam dividers around, but the compartments are a good size and fit all my bigger makeup items easily. We will see how long it lasts, as I just received it and started using it today. Excited to start using it, and pleased with it so far! Oh, a note on the color: Mine is pink, just like the picture shows. A light, pastel pink, not neon pink. Not purple. Just pink. :) UPDATE, APRIL 7th 2015: My train case is still holding up very well (and has survived a long-distance move) and I am considering buying another one because my makeup collection is growing. Still love it.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for a train case for all of my makeup. Especially to use for hauling it all to vendor/ home shows etc. for my makeup business, but did not have a lot to spend because I am just starting my business. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Shany Essential Pro makeup case at such a good price. The case itself is fairly large and with the adjustable inserts works perfect for my needs. I love the color and the shoulder strap is amazing ( the pink shade is lighter than the pictures but the strap is the same color as the picture of the case shown so if you don't mind the strap darker than the case then it shouldn't be an issue ) I have only been using it for about 2 weeks and so far love it and I also love the price 😀 Overall it was a great purchase so far. The only con that I have noticed is that it doesn't always line up properly for locking and the trays seem as if they could be a little tighter, but those are minor things to me. If anything changes I will update this review, but if your looking for a large case at a great price then you should definitely order this!!

Let me preface this review by saying I did a month of research before settling on this specific accordion train case. I am male, and therefore may notice different things about a product than the opposite sex. However, I think this information can benefit everyone. In my circle I work with a lot of different materials so I have the experience to back up this review. I purchased this to use with my lightweight tools. You wont believe how hard it is to find a toolbox fully made out of corrosion resistant metal (like aluminum or stainless) because they're all made out of nasty rusty steel. Here are some of the problems I noticed: - Some of the corners were already rusting. - Part of the aluminum trim was warped/damaged. - The SHANY logo plate on the front was crooked. - The panels (not the trim or the corners, but the bumpy textured panels that make up most of the case) are not metal. The item description says "Made with solid aluminum." I personally contacted SHANY and asked them what material the panels are made out of and they replied saying aluminum. The seller also told me the panels were made of aluminum. In addition, multiple reviewers and Q&A posts said that the panels are made out of metal. This simply isn't the case. The panels are made out of plastic. I tried everything to test it. Magnets don't stick to it, I couldn't run an electric current through it, it's not cold to the touch, etc. - The description says "Unlike other brands SHANY have used aluminum on the handle, as well as the bottom of the case to ensure a long life of the item." The handle is clearly plastic, even in the photos. The bottom is made out of the same stuff that the rest of the box is. - Another claim about the item is that it uses "Dust proof fabric as an interior." The interior is lined with EVA craft foam - the stuff you can find in the children's crafts isle at Walmart. Craft foam is not fabric. - The dividers made for the bottom-most compartment are made out of cardboard wrapped in craft foam. They don't exactly scream "high quality and long lasting" to me. - Almost all reviewers said that they appreciate the option of being able to lock the case. A lot also have said that the locks don't work at all. Here's the truth: The locks work but are not easy to use. They don't always lock or unlock correctly and there are no instructions provided. They're fiddly and janky. It's not all bad though. The case does look cute and stylish. It holds a lot of stuff inside. The dividers are a very nicely designed bonus. You get 8 plastic dividers for the accordion trays and 3 cardboard/foam dividers for the bottom compartment. I really wanted to love this case, especially after all the research I did. The lower build quality and cheap materials ruined it for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are train cases much shoddier than this one. The problem here is that this is advertised like a high quality premium product, but it simply is not. UPDATE: Well, after working with SHANY directly and going through 5 more makeup train cases of various brands, I decided to bump this review up by 1 star. It turns out for $40, this box is a solid choice. I encountered similarly priced cases that were of much poorer quality - the interior lining peeling off, misaligned indentations for the dividers (so all your dividers end up slanted), trays colliding against one another when you open or close them, etc. - at least the SHANY case doesn't have these problems. Furthermore, SHANY's customer service is top notch. My return was buttery smooth and the representative I worked with was patient, diligent, and understanding. I still can't give the item itself a 5 star rating, but their customer service deserves an A+.

I ordered the SHANY Essential Pro Makeup Train Case for my girlfriend so she could organize her collection and add to it and she loved it. It is a large black case with 4 adjustable fold out compartments and a large bottom storage area (also partially adjustable.) It has 2 locks and a shoulder strap that can be added or removed. Pros: Very large Adjustable compartments Plastic (easy to clean) Comes with a shoulder strap Deep (good for large items) Sleek look Cons: Heavy Lock is hard to use (gets stuck) Does not fit all types of makeup palettes (ASBH Glow Kit specifically) Overall, this was a 5 star purchase and I would highly recommend this product. She has been the envy of all of her friends since getting this. I added some pictures; she is still working on moving all of her items to it but...you get the idea, it's prefect. Thank you!
