A Vanity Case: More than just a Beauty Box

A modern woman can leave without a handkerchief but it’s unlikely she’ll be on a long distance trip without her vanity box to hold her cosmetics. For some, it is the source of their beauty and youth, while for others it is the source of their confidence. Men who do not have a hint about being glamorous usually get surprised on the magic that this small purse brings.


History
Vanity cases evolved from the usual compact that contains a small mirror, pressed or loose powder in a sifter and a powder puff. As more and more facial cosmetics, emerged claiming their age defying effects, the need for a bigger beauty box became apparent, thus the creation of vanity boxes or vanity cases.

Purpose
Vanity boxes are responsible for containing all the cosmetics and sometimes even toiletries of women. They are made up of multiple partitions and sections that are helpful for easy management and retrieve of make-up and other beauty products. For personal use, these kits usually range from a mini-tote to a big travelling bag. This is because a regular homemaker sometimes needs only a lipstick, pressed powder and a brush while for working females, added items like foundation, eyeliner, eye make-up, mascara, blush on and lip shiner are considered essentials as well.

For professional make-up artists, these cases stock up to as high as 4 feet having several drawers sometimes looking more like a metal cabinet. This is due to the numerous facial accessories and enhancements needed for the many skin types professionals encounter in their field.

Influence of Celebrities
In today’s world, women want vanity cases so badly. These things are turning out to be collectibles. Some of these items are now on the echelon of must have things of women who wants to be categorizes as affluent. The price range of some of these cases is more than enough proof that women are head over heels with them.

For the most part, I would say that Hollywood actresses have contributed the most towards disseminating the idea to the public that vanity cases are imperative for the modern women. We’ve all seen them usually with hard vanity cases, which offer complete protection of the bottles, sprays and other valuables inside against constant traveling around the globe. I’ve seen on TV, celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey and Naomi Campbell carrying around designer vanity cases on their trips or concerts as they tour across continents. The fact that those cases are indeed worth several hundred dollars doesn’t seem to deter their followers, since it’s evident on how these brightly shining stars are so dependent on them.

Truly, vanity cases have transcended into many cultures well. It is now covering aspects of life more than just functionality, portability and protection; lifestyle and ego is now also playing a critical role in its marketing. Having one, says a lot about the woman carrying it, because of how much hype famous people placed on it. It’s an understatement that these cases are just storage for beauty products not because they do it well, but also because consumers are expecting much more from it.
