Make up case sizes?? Anyone know?

Post by photomomma6 on Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:09 pm

Hey all, it's been a long time, but I'm looking into buying a case with those spongy circle cut outs in it, and want to know is it going to fit my paradise pots? I have the 1.4 oz pots and they're about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. The one I'm looking at is from Silly Farm. Does anyone know if these will fit? It doesn't say anything about what size they are, just that they'll fit Kryolan. I don't know anything about Kryolan. Thanks to anyone that can help!

Mehron actually makes a laptop case specifically for paradise palettes, I bought one at Bodyssey and I really like it. Btw, welcome back Smile

for now I don't use the inside spongy part. By ripping them out I was able to condense 3 cases into 2, same with my arty cakes, I now carry nearly 20 of them, of different sizes, in one case.

I got a much cheaper one meant for scrapbook pages at Walmart. I just velcroed my paint pots into it. They're around $5.

Could you possibly post a pic? I am looking for something to put all my loose pots in and just can't fathom paying $25 for a case!

This is similar, but the Walmart ones are thinner. These do look sturdier...

great, thanks! I definitely will go with one of those rather than pay SF $25 + shipping. they soo overcharge on everything they sell it seems.

you know, my landlord's son gave my DS an old poker set of his when he was cleaning some of his things out of the attic. the case would be perfect for paint pots but unfortunately this one is damaged on one side. (aluminum and approx 3" thick and 6" x 20" wide). might be worth checking at yard sales and such for something like that though! it would be so much more compact than carrying my full sized aluminum case to gigs. (Which I keep mostly full so stuff doesn't move around. I totally could downsize that though in a big way if I had the right case!lol.)

Unfortunately not all Walmarts carry those clear cases. I checked my local Walmart and only found a super duper scrapbook project case which was too much. I saw pink ones at Target but they were about $10 each. Maybe I will try Hobby Lobby. Im sure local craft stores might have something like that.

I think the pink one is the one I posted from Michael's. Still... $10 is better than $25 & they work great.
