Existing Problems
Organizing Issues
Products scatter on the table
Organizer has limitation
Tendency to put cosmetics products all together in one bag
Shopping Carts
Size Matters
large portion of cosmetics products will be wasted and expired
Tend to buy new products before finishing current one
Large size means not easy for carrying around and traveling
Form Matters
Cosmetics products have various forms and sizes
Not easy to organize and pack up
Different brand, different style

Limited options than full size cosmetics in the market
