Travel gadget: Tower of Evolu

Women, I'm told, are required by a great law of the universe to have access to skincare and beauty products at all times... including when travelling. Men, I have noticed, are sometimes intolerant that this requires all manner of pots and tubes to be added to already overloaded bags.

So here's a clever compromise. A neat little Travel Tower of Evolu skincare products, including creme cleanser, day creme, night creme, soothing eye gel, purifying mask and hand and cuticle creme. There's even a spare lid so you can divide the tower into two stacks. And, you can refill the pots as often as you like. This skincare pack takes very little room, is easy to use and, I'm assured by female experts on the subject, that Evolu products are very good.

They must be because I see from the publicity material that they only use essential oils, natural plant extracts and pure New Zealand spring water.

Anyway, my wife took a tower to Sydney last weekend and was very happy with it. It took up very little space so I was too. See evolu.co.nz for further details - online price $39 - and stockists.
