Then, we dropped them from waist height three times, always from different angles, to see whether any breakages or leaks occurred and whether the bottles showed any signs of wear and tear. I recently used the six-piece set for a 10-day trip away, and the gel cleanser, facial toner, and makeup remover I packed made it till the very last day. When you build your capsule, you choose each color and you have a choice of “tiles” to label your capsules including words, icons and different items for face, hair, body, shaving and wellness. Let’s discuss the deets, pros, and cons of this trendy travel product in my full Cadence Capsules review. With The Flex System, you can still choose your own label for each capsule (the labels are interchangeable), as well as the color and number of capsules in your bundle.

My favorite thing about these bottles is the airless pump—I feel so glamorous while doing my nighttime skincare routine with these, and it makes it easier to use products like face wash or cleanser on the road.

Or to be the person that holds up the line at security while the TSA agents discard your oversized liquids. I have a supply of travel sized items that I fly with and in addition to the variety of shapes and sizes there tends to be a lot of wasted space in these (hidden bottoms, thicker sides to make the product look bigger when really it only holds half an ounce).For example, most of my longer trips, I’m usually staying somewhere where I have access to full bottles of shampoo and conditioner, so I wouldn’t need to bring my own necessarily… but if I did, one capsule wouldn’t be enough. Small but mighty, the design can hold one to two weeks worth of products, and the large opening up top makes it easy to scoop from and refill. These customizable labels helped me keep track of my routine since I labeled each Capsule for products like hand cream, lotions, or body wash. Cons: These spray bottles wont match the look of your full-size perfume and don't have labels, so you'll have to remember based on the color of the mini bottle you choose.

At the time of writing, the available color options are charcoal (black), petal (pink), lavender (purple), sand (white), terracotta (burgundy red), pacific (light blue), and eucalyptus (green).However, these solid-feeling capsules are a welcome change for those who’ve gone through the trauma of leaky bottles. A doctor, nurse or anyone who works long hours and wants to carry a little face wash, supplements or hand cream, these are perfect.

Even better, all of these picks are TSA-friendly in size, so you don't have to worry about any of your favorite products being thrown out at the airport. TSA-approved: The Capsules are TSA-compliant, so as long as you’re under the usual limit for liquids in your travel bag, airport security is a breeze. We arrange our six capsules in a honeycomb pattern, but they’re easy enough to rearrange depending on where or what bag we’re putting them in. Other highlights include fully removable caps and wide mouths for mess-free filling and easy cleaning; and three-layered lids that are essentially leakproof. Since the Capsules carry the same amount of each, we run out of shampoo much sooner than conditioner.

On the other hand, all these magnets attract other metal accessories in close proximity to them, which may not be ideal if you carry a lot of safety pins. It’s not a huge deal breaker, but something to keep in mind when thinking about the type of travel you do.

No matter how organized I try to stay, my bathroom counter at every hotel always becomes cluttered with my many toiletries and hair products. Anyone who has ever had to pack for an overnight trip knows how tedious the toiletry-packing step can be, and how, surprisingly, all those products you cannot part for more than 36 hours can take up so much real estate in your suitcase. The smart capsule system is obviously cute and eye-catching, but the design has made my life so much easier. For example, if you don’t need that much shampoo for a trip, you can take apart the large size, remove the extender, and transform the container into a much smaller carrying case.

The Capsule Flex System allows you to customize your own bundle with your choice of small, medium, and large sizes, as well as The Extender—an add-on that allows you to increase the size of the bottle when you need more room.
