Julie Fredrickson knows what works and doesn’t when it comes to makeup.  Having old expired makeup rolling around your bottomless handbag or gym bag just didn’t cut it for her.  Looking at what was available in the market she couldn’t find anything tiny…..at all.  Yes, we all get samples when we order certain brands, and oh how we loooooove them….. But you could never buy them until now.   Stowaway makes sample size makeup that lasts about three months, has no need for preservatives (yeah) and fits in a teensy bag, plus it’s an awesome selection.
