From here on out, I refuse to compromise my beauty and wellness routine when I travel.
Every time I pack my bag, it feels like playing travel-sized toiletry Tetris. To make matters worse, I always end up with at least one casualty, aka an exploded bottle of shampoo/cleanser/lotion. I’m over it.
With spring break around the corner, I just bought a system of 100% leak-proof, TSA-approved, minimalist capsules from Cadence (a brand I’ve been eyeing on Instagram for months). The capsules have garnered an impressive collection of praise—from Forbes and Wirecutter to The Strategist—and as it turns out: all of that hype was beyond deserved.
“Those Are Beautiful… What Are They?!”
(Someone asks every time I pull my Flex Set out of my suitcase).
The best decision I’ve made this year was choosing Cadence over clunky, mismatched travel bottles. Cadence Capsules are aesthetically pleasing, but (if you can believe it) they’re even more practical than they are beautiful. The magnetic honeycomb design minimizes wasted space in any toiletries bag, and the rounded corners mean I can scoop every last drop out of each capsule.
The Starter Set is just $108 for six capsules, and individually they range in price from $14 to $36. Is that more than my local CVS travel containers (or online dupes) cost? Yes, but Cadence epitomizes the expression you get what you pay for. The cheapest containers on the market don’t list their capacity on the outside, which is essential for getting through TSA. Cadence does. Cadence Capsules are also meant to be purchased once and never again: they last a lifetime… Amazon quality could never. Plus, you have 30 days post-purchase to make a free return for a full refund.
Cadence Capsules have as much function as they do form. They’re simple to clean, easy to open and close, and highly customizable. They also just look dang good every time I pull them out of my suitcase.
Oh, and speaking of suitcases, since these capsules are TSA-compliant, I never have to worry about airport security confiscating my beloved products. Cadence Capsules come in three main sizes: 0.56 oz, 1.32 oz, and 2.75 oz. They also offer an Extender which will add 1.43 oz to any capsule.
I portion out the exact amount of product I need by day of the week, so my routine stays consistent. Cadence makes it easy because every capsule comes with an interchangeable, customized label so I can find what I need when I need it. And every second saved (especially on a trip) counts.
No Wasted Product… More Money for Piña Coladas!
Travel-sized cosmetics tend to be, well… a rip-off. They average a 177% markup over standard-sized products. The only thing more infuriating than that? Opening up my bag to find that my ultra-expensive mini bottle of retinol has leaked onto my even MORE expensive makeup.
Cadence’s proprietary leak-proof design means I can skip the overpriced travel bottles and confidently pack my favorite products at home knowing they’re protected from spills. While Cadence is an investment, the amount of product I’m saving from spillage means they save me even more money in the long run.
This is the Only “Life-Proof” Product I Own
I’ve always waited until the very last second to pack, which usually looks like an 11PM trip to the convenience store for throwaway plastic containers…until now. Cadence thought of everything when designing their capsules, making packing my self-care routine so easy that I (almost) get excited to do it. The wide-mouth capsules are nearly effortless to fill, and they fit everything from shampoo to vitamins to jewelry.
Cadence Capsules are made from recycled, ocean-bound plastic. Unlike cheap travel containers that crack or leak after one or two uses, they’re BPA-free and virtually indestructible. This durability is crucial for keeping my products safe while traveling, but it also helps me cut back on single-use plastic because these will last a lifetime. Now that’s what I call a win-win.
