Beauty Flashback: glam makeup compacts

So I’m really starting to obsess a bit over fancy makeup compacts. As a little girl, I remember how much fun I used to have going through my Grandmother’s makeup drawer and playing will all of her makeup and accessories…I even did this after she passed away (1987) because it reminded me of how much I loved her and how beautiful and classy she was. These three compacts are somewhat reminiscent of my Grandma Betty’s own collection but I also found some great vintage compacts on Etsy for a more realistic feel. I think it may be eBay time…I’m about to start a collection.
