Thing is, I'm not entirely sure what is best. I have considered a professional rolling train case system, and I have also considered going the route of a suitcase, and various small bags.I tend to carry much more than most would when I go back and forth because I often enjoy playing with my kit and trying out new techniques and such on the weekend, which means I like to have a good variety on hand. Plus I occasionally end up doing makeup for friends or family members, and I just like the comfort of knowing that I am prepared. I can downsize when need be, but just for back and forth like this, I'd rather have as much as I can comfortably transport.
This is what I travel with:
Facial basics (cleanser, toner, moisturizers, serums, primers, spf, foundation, concealer, setting powder, highlighter, contouring)
Eye stuffs (eye cream, primer,brow products since I must draw mine on daily, aqua seal+piggies for liner, gel liners, pencil liners, mascara, cream shadow collection, a few KVD and MAC eye palettes and quads, UD palettes, a bunch of other shadows)
Lip stuffs (tons and tons of lip stuffs. It's my weakness)
Tools: brow tools, little hair trimmers, tweezers, various mirrors, sharpeners, mixing palletes, disposable applacators, baby wipes, tissues, a towel for brushes, rubbing alcohol in little spray bottles (91% and 71%), coconut oil, castile soap, brush guards, a brush washing basin (I really wish this was more travel friendly), hand sanatiser, anti-microbial wipes, anti-bacterial wipes, alcohol pads wrapped individually, oil blotting sheets, multi-use balm, colour wheel card, a zippered 3" binder that I am using to begin storing all of the information that I find most useful for myself and would like to keep on hand for referance, various sample and deluxe sample sized perfumes and fragrance sprays, spot cleaning sprays for brushes, brow stencils, falsies, and other random things.
Body care: cleanser, exfoliator, eczema cream, hand cream, foot cream, cuticle oil, shaving products, soaps, spf, mini nail care kit.
Hair care: blow dryer, curling iron, shampoo, conditioner, hair masque, oilive oil, keratin leave in, thermal protection, hair spray, various clips/combs/brushes, you've/spf spray, salt texturizing spray, baking soda (just in case I need to clean up any product build up), dry shampoo, pigment paste/hair chalk for instant root touch ups.
I know it seems like way more than one would need, but what can I say, other than better safe than sorry? (A-Ha be damned, xD)
Either way, at the moment everything is stuffed into opaque bags, then those are put in a hamper. It's just not working. Especially since I'll be traveling out of state a few times next month and will really need my kit to be roadtrip-ready!
I am hoping not to spend too much money (maybe $250-$275 tops, for now at least), and I need to order online. I am well versed with a measuring ribbon so I'm not worried about sizing because I can just measure things out if I can get the measurements.
I would also prefer to be able to order as much as I can from each site (instead of each thing being at a different site, shipping can be quite the bitch on occasion!)
I like the idea of having something that can fit together into as few pieces as possible, and something that rolls. I have a bad right arm due to joint dislocation and bone relocation that resulted in nerve and rotator cuff damage, which makes lifting anything heavier than 10lbs very difficult and dangerous with that arm. I also like the idea of being able to carry everything all at once, and then be able to take apart the pieces and create a smaller kit for specific situations/occasions/needs.
I like the pro train cases, but I worry about the ones that have drawers and small sections, because I don't want items inside to be loose when on the go (and bubble wrapping is such a pain!). Which is why I was thinking the suitcase+lots of small bags route.
All in all, I need brand, site, and style recommendations! Also, if you have any recommendations on how I should go about deviding such a large amount of items into smaller sections to bag/store, I'd love to hear!
I also need protective cases for my iron and blow dryer because I currently just wrap them in towels and stuff them in the middle of everything, but I worry about them!!
Thank you kindly to anyone who bothered to read this mess of a rant! Hopefully I'll be less of a mess once I get organized! <3

For as much as you travel investing in one of those trolly systems witch have not only the trolly but attached bands to small Intel of the trolly so you can roll all your trly and bands of the trolly itself,I found them by Google trolly and train cases I'm sure it's in your budget.
