Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think.

About the Travalo
The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle.
It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces.

How to Use It
If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to:
1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle
2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray shoot and hold it down and pump it
You will be able to see by the window on the Travalo when it is full, also the perfume will squirt out if you pump it too much, which is also another way of telling when it is full.

When you have used up the perfume in your Travalo, you will need to clean it before using a different perfume.

To clean the Travalo you need to:
1. Get an empty spray bottle and fill it up with water
2. Take the lid and spray cap off the bottle
3. Hold the Travalo upright over the bottle’s spray shoot and hold it down and pump it, until the Travalo is full
4. Spray the water out of the Travalo a little and then shake it a few times and then keep spraying until the Travalo is empty again

You may need to repeat those steps a few times, until when you spray out the water, it doesn’t smell of your perfume.
You can also use perfume samples in your Travalo by emptying them into a clean plastic bottle (like above) and pumping it like you would the water into the Travalo.

My Thoughts
It is very easy to use and very convenient because it is a lot smaller than a perfume bottle. It also comes in a variety of colours and since I bought mine, they now do bigger sizes and you can get a case for them to go in. The only problem I have is perfumes can be very concentrated (strong), which means it can be hard to remove the scent from the Travalo to replace it with a new one. Everytime I tried to clean one of mine Travalo’s, the water still smelled of strong perfume.

I currently only have this black one now, but I used to have a pink and a silver one too. I hardly ever use them, so I gave two of them to my sister. If you saw My Perfume Collection post, you will know I am currently using the black one for some Marc Jacobs Daisy samples.

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
