Organizing on a budget

I'm very OCD and I want everything organized. Lol. For the longest my make-up was just thrown in my drawers & I could not see all that I had. It drove me crazy! 

As you can see I had all my eyeshadows thrown in. There were eyeshadows that were still brand new. 

I bought these little trays to organize my eyeshadows & blushes. These were only $1 each at Dollar Tree! (One of my favorite stores) Cute & Cheap way to organize my beautiful make-up mess! =)

I organized it by brand: Wet N Wild, Revlon, Maybelline, NYX, Covergirl, L.A. Colors, MAC, Rimmel, NYC & random brands. 

My eyeshadows:

As you can see it fits in my drawers! It looks so nice organized & I can see everything that I have. 

My blushes & bronzers: 

I love that I can finally see what I have & I can now try to use the products that are still brand new. 

Hope that helps ya'll & gives ya'll some ideas to organize! 

Thanks for stopping by! =)

Purple Radiance Look

If ya'll couldn't tell purple is obviously my favorite color. I think purple is so pretty & I have a lot of purple eyeshadows, eyeliners & lipsticks. 

I wanted to wear my new LA Girl Lip Paint in Coy. It is beautiful! Applies smooth & it is shiny & glossy. I definitely want to buy all of their colors! Lol I used ELF Cosmetics professional concealer brush to apply the Lip Paint. 

For my eyes I used ELF Cosmetics cream eyeliner in black for the cat-eye double wings. 

The eyeshadows were a mixture of my BH Cosmetics Take me to Brazil palette & my Wet N Wild Flirting at the After Party palette. 

My Blush is Wet N Wild. 

My complete look. It matches my beautiful purple highlights! =) 

Thanks for stopping by ladies!

Cleaning Make-up Brushes

I wanted to stress the importance of washing your make-up brushes. 

They collect dirt, dead skin cells & the oils on your face so they should be washed at least once a week! =] 

My daily cleaning routine: 

I soak my brushes in Dawn detergent & Hot water for about an hour. 

I brush them clean with a scouring pad. It really works well! 

Voila! Clean brushes! Ready to be used again! 

Nothing better than clean brushes! =) 

Thanks for stopping by ladies!

My Top 5 Blushes

One of my favorite things to wear on my face is definitely BLUSH. I get so many compliments on my blush. Blush can make your skin glow or dewy & it can define your cheeks. 

Here is a breakdown of my top 5 (affordable) blushes: 

My number one will always be Fresh Plum by Estee Lauder. I have used this blush for years! As you can see I have already hit pan. I need more!!! Lol. 

You can buy this at Estee Lauder.com or any other beauty boutiques online. Retails for $32.

I am a huge fan of ELF Cosmetics! Affordable & Amazing make-up & their blushes are NO exception. 

This is twinkle pink. A coral blush with beautiful flecks of glitter.

It is beautiful!!! 

I bought this blush at T.J. Maxx for only $2.49 but you can also buy ELF Cosmetics at Target, Wal-Mart, Marshalls, & the ELF Cosmetics Website. 

My most recent discover: Rose Garden by NYX Cosmetics! (Another affordable & amazing make-up line) 

It is a gorgeous PINK!!! It looks amazing on my tan skin. 

I bought this for only $4.99 at Target. You can also buy NYX Cosmetics at Ulta Beauty Store, T.J. Maxx, CVS & the NYX Cosmetics website. 

I most recently discovered BH Cosmetics through instagram & wow their blushes & eyeshadow palettes are amazing, highly pigmented & of course affordable! 

Tulip Blush Duo.

Drop Dead Gorgeous! 

The blush on the right makes my skin glow! It is amazing! 

Iris Blush Duo.

So beautiful!!! 

Very Pigmented! 

Amazing! 

I bought these blushes for $3.99 on bhcosmetics.com! Such a great deal! 

Ladies if you try any of these blushes I promise you will NOT be disappointed! These blushes are beautiful! 

I apply my blushes with an angled contouring brush. I start on the apples of my cheek & I blend outwards. Be careful with blush because if you put too much you can look like a clown. Make sure you always blend well! Hope that helps! =)
