Travel In Style

Starting today, anyone who visits this page www.beauty.com/zeromariacornejo and spends $100 or more will get an exclusive, limited-time sample-stuffed gift with purchase travel bag from the fashion label Zero + Maria Cornejo.  (Valued at over $140!)

Beauty.com is known for its designer bag collaborations and this one highlights a travel bag trio featuring zippered compartments in three shapes: a triangle, square, and circle that you can use individually or as a complete set. The circle is a solid black case lined in Maria Cornejo’s signature Mad Shapes print and has elastic supply straps for brushes, tools, and breakables. The triangle and square are made of a sturdy black mesh, perfect to throw into your bag for easy access on the go.  You can even clip the three compartments together to triple the portable space for all your beauty necessities.

Says Cornejo, "This bag is based on the three shapes that always inspire the collection – a circle, a square, and a triangle.  When I was designing the bag, I was thinking of busy women like myself who, when they travel, need maximum flexibility.  I love the idea that each separate compartment snaps apart so that you can separate your products and just grab one item and go!"

Here are the samples included in the bag:

• NICK CHAVEZ Beverly Hills PLUMP ‘N THICK Thickening Spray Gel with Collagen
• Origins Modern Friction Nature’s gentle dermabrasion
• BORBA GUMMI BOOSTERS Açaí Skin Balance Confections
