We’ve all been there. We’re late for work or an evening out, and we’re rummaging through our makeup bags trying to find the right lipstick or the skinny tube of concealer that always slips to the bottom. Traveling makes things even trickier. A stuffed makeup bag takes up too much precious space in your carry-on.
That’s why I think Subtl Staks are so ingenious. They’re definitely in the category of “Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?” Each cute lavender stak contains a lip balm, a dual-purpose lip and cheek color, a concealer, and a shine control translucent powder. That’s basically everything you need to look pulled together and confident in a flash. Each disc comes apart easily, then snaps back together, taking up essentially zero space on your bathroom counter or in your bag. It will even slide easily into an evening bag. Of course, you can choose your shades for the concealer and the lip and cheek color (my favorite is Terra Cotta Tour Guide, a lively mang0-red shade that lends just the right pop without looking overdone.) The bottom stack hides a soft little round brush to apply the powder, and the top stack is actually a mirror. So there you go! This is truly an all-in-one find. It comes with an extra cover in case you wanted to take just one of the makeup components with you instead of the whole stak.
The Subtl Stak also has a nice environmental bend. One stak consists of way less packaging than if you had bought each of the six components individually. Plus it can be refilled.
The potential giftees for this one go on and on: Any teen girl, your best friend, your sister, your niece, your daughter, a teacher, a co-worker. It’s also a perfect White Elephant gift.
