Last week, I received the coolest little kit that arrived just in time for my trip this week!
RESCUEHER. It’s a small vegan leather dopp kit style bag for women that comes with a detachable silver chain in case you want to carry it as a shoulder bag or crossbody.
The bag itself comes in black, white or blush pink. Inside are cosmetic, personal care and other grooming items for women. With graduations, Mother’s Day and summer vacations right around the corner, I think this adorable and supremely useful kit of essentials would make a perfect gift for any of those occasions.
Here’s what in the RESCUEHER kit:
Makeup
- face and eye makeup palette with mirror and mini-brush
- BB cream: medium tan shade
- bronzer
- pink lip gloss
- mascara
- black eyeliner pencil with built-in sharpener
- 2 makeup remover wipes
Personal Care
- 2 tampons
- 2 pantiliners
- 2 bandaids
- 2 teeth piks/floss piks
- Advil pack
- breath drops
- deodorant
Grooming
- comb
- 2 hair bands
- 2 bobbi pins
- hairspray
- 2 earring backs with disks
- tweezers
- nail file
- nail glue
- sewing basics: needle & thread, buttons, safety pin
What I especially love about this kit is that it’s ready to go. I can just take it with me without needing to pack up. About the only thing I might add on my own is a mini-toothbrush, toothpaste and a little tube of hand cream. Otherwise, it’s got everything I would need at the spur of the moment. No more searching around at the last minute for a comb, a bandaid, a safety pin, or an earring back to replace one that I lost. Or whatever unexpected thing I discover that I need when I’m traveling or just out and about.
Here’s a closer look at the makeup.
The little palette is so cute, quite handy. It contains a usable and good size mirror and an adorable, soft little usable in a pinch brush that’s held in place by some sticky stuff that keeps it from moving around inside the palette. The palette contains face powder (that’s a perfect match for me so you can’t see the swatch on my arm), contour, highlighter, medium reddish-brown matte shadow, grayish-bronze muted shimmer shadow. I was blown away at how long lasting the makeup is. I wore the eye makeup over primer as I always do, and it lasted until I took it off. In fact, it gave my micellar water a run for its money 😉
There’s candy pink lip gloss, a slim black eyeliner pencil that comes with a built-in sharpener, medium-tan BB cream that unfortunately is way too dark for me, and a bronzer that I use as a peachy blush since I don’t wear bronzer.
Also, I should mention RESCUEHER’s attention to detail: there’s an expiration date on a number of the makeup items so you know when it’s time to recycle them!
Plus there’s room in the 6.5 x 3.5″ bag to throw in a few mini-makeups of your own to supplement what comes in the kit. And there’s also room for your driver’s license, a credit card or two, and a standard size phone. With the cute silver chain and heart-shaped zipper pull, I can carry it on its own, or I can toss it into a large purse or tote bag. This week, it’s going into my suitcase.
Inside the bag, in addition to the pretty lining, there’s a zippered pocket and an open pocket to help keep things organized.
I love my RESCUEHER bag of essentials. Check out the RESCUEHER website for more information or to purchase this handy item for yourself or as a gift for the girl on the go. $49.95.
That is a really nice kit and you get everything you need in it!
It’ll be perfect for my trip!
This would be fantastic as a bridal shower gift! Also even better would be if they let you choose the color of the B.B. cream for your kit when you order. Have a great trip Allison!
I agree, Judy. Or have one of those color changing BB creams. And thank you! I’m psyched for Amsterdam!
I like the idea of the gift bag, just not sure if the product is high quality.
Anastasia, I would say that everything is good (not prestige) quality. The bag is meant to be for emergencies and touchups rather than as a substitute for your everyday makeup. Except for the BB cream where the color is not right for me, everything else is fine. The eye makeup, contour and highlighter were actually quite surprising – they wore very well.
What a great kit for your upcoming trip! This is such a great idea!
It’s a pretty great idea! You’ve got everything in case of emergency!
Exactly!
When I was on my recent cruise the things I forgot to bring were small ones and those are covered in this adorable kit. This is a great gym bag or purse accompaniment too. What a great idea.
I’m going to throw it in my suitcase for my trip. I know I may need the sewing kit and pins, hair ties, bobbi pins, bandaids etc. Useful!
I really like this! It’s like a break in case of emergency bag, I love that it has personal care and grooming products. Very nicely curated.
Exactly!
I like the idea behind this kit. I also like the fact that the bag can also be used as crossbody/shoulder.
It’s so cute and handy. I’m taking it to Amsterdam. You never know when you need a bandaid, earring back, sewing kit, toothpick. I just wish the BB cream had options for the shade.
So compact and I love that it’s all necessities for her. perfect to keep at the office!
Kristi, to keep at the office makes so much sense. Great idea, thanks!
I have a similar kit called Pinch
That’s a great name, “in a Pinch”!
This seems like such a handy little kit! My only reservation is that I think often you get a kit like that and wind up never using it because all of the items in it – makeup/self-care especially – aren’t quite your favourites. So I would rather put together something similar but with all of your perfect choices – although of course that takes more effort!
It’s really a kit to help you in an emergency rather than replace your favorites. I’m bringing it with me to Europe!
I mean, I know, but even in an emergency I’d be sulky if, say, the mascara was clumpy 😛 But maybe everything in the kit is great quality in which case it’s perfect!
That’s such a great little kit
I’m so particular with the makeup and skin care that I bring along on trips, I don’t think I’d be too stoked if this was my MD gift.
ooooh the little palette sure is cute. I have one of those serious afflictions for travel sizes. Right up my alley.
Same here. I’m taking this kit with me on our trip! Last night Jeff cut his finger on a lobster, and I wish I had had the kit with me for the bandaids!
Everything you need in one little kit!
Always nice to have those things on hand in a pinch!
Great review! I love the bag, the makeup shades, and the fact that it thought of every little detail for personal care and grooming!
This is such a cute little kit!
That’s a cute kit! I really like the inside print and hidden zipper pockets. The makeup definitely makes the kit price worth it too!
All gorgeous products aside…my goal for the year is to get a passport and travel to one spot outside the US borders!!! Love the tips!
Where would you like to go, Nina?
Including earring backs shows that they REALLY know what they are doing with their rescue her travel kit! Seriously, traveling is generally the only time I ever seem to lose mine!
I agree, Jen. I have also lost an earring back while traveling, and it never occurred to me to buy extras and bring them with me!
I’m obsessed with mini bags like this that have all the essentials!
This is such a fantastic idea, and the bag itself is really cute! The makeup looks nice as well, I love the lip gloss.
This looks like a great travel bag!
My little RescueHer bag is winging its way to Amsterdam with me right now!
Awesome Idea! I really like this. Thanks for sharing another awesome post.
What a neat little gift this would be! I actually really love some of those eyeshadow shades!
