Makeup Wars – Travel Items I Wish I Could Afford & How to Get Them on the Cheap

March 31, 2014

This week for Makeup Wars we’re featuring our must have travel items. I’ve covered posts similar in the past when I went to New York and Florida as well as for Beauty Blogger Travel. For this post I wanted to do something a little different by sharing my Travel Items Lust List and a site I have been using to silently stalk these items to get them pre-loved and much, much cheaper.

What are the must have travel items that I lust for? Louis Vuitton luggage, of course. I’d love to get my hands on a keepall, suitcase and cosmetic case as well as a scarf and sunglasses for good measure. Ideally in carry-on sizes, because I’m too paranoid to let them out of my sight.

Authentic Inexpensive Louis Vuitton Travel Items WishlistHow am I attempting to get these items on the cheap? I’m using a luxury reseller called The RealReal. They offer pre-loved designer items at up to 90% off the original price and *BONUS* they will also give you 20% off of your first purchase for an even bigger discount… YES you can get brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, Hermes… the list is endless! You can also consign your designer items and make some quick cash.

Other sites that carry authentic designer items at discounted prices are ShopBop, Gilt and HauteLook.

What travel item out there is on your lust list?

    Just once I would love to splurge on an LV purse, but the tight wad mommy in me is always naming off the things we NEED, so it’s always on the backburner! One day 😉

    I recently unsubscribed from their mailing list, and now they’re showing up in ALL my Google ads. They must miss me, even though I never bought anything! lol. It would be a great place to get lux consignment, though!

    Sometimes you get deals on consignment stores, I have a few around where I live in NJ and I have gotten some pre-loved designer duds on Ebay. It is very covetable all the LV 🙂

    The RealReal keeps coming up on my FB newsfeed all the time. They must know me. I’ve been wondering about the site but figured that it would still be out of my price range. Guess I’ll take a look! Have you actually bought anything yet?

      They’re in our extreme shopping heads! Yes I bought an LV Address Book, but it’s small so I use it as a card case 😉 It’s in a discontinued print I believe the Cherry Blossom, it’s pink and got golden LV’s. I’ll have to do a follow up post or video on my purse collection!

    I feel like I’m the only woman who doesn’t swoon for LV. The logos everywhere are just too much for me. I’m glad you found a place to get it at a bargain.
