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! =)

Makeup Look for 07.23.14

Wearing shades of my favorite color: Purple. I got a lot of compliments on my make-up today.

I used my Purple Milani Infinite Liquid Eyeliner that I bought for only $1 at Dollar Tree for my cat eye & winged eyeliner. Such a great product for only $1! It goes on smooth & applies really well. 

I used my holy grail eyeshadows by Maybelline Eye Studio in Amethyst Ablazed & Purple Icon. I highly recommend Maybelline eyeshadows. Such a Great Drugstore Brand! I used my favorite brushes by EcoTools to apply my eyeshadows.

Makeup Brushes for Eyes

I had a special request asking what brushes I use to line my eyes & apply eyeshadow. 

I use four different brushes: 

The three black brushes are from ELF Cosmetics. $3 each. You can buy them from Wal-Mart, T.J. Maxx, the ELF Cosmetics Website or Ulta Beauty Store. 

The Brown Brush is an Eco Tool brush. 

I bought it in a set for $11. (Amazing brushes & Eco-Friendly) You can buy them from Ulta Beauty Store, Wal-Mart, Target, T.J. Maxx or the Eco Tool Website. 

I use the black Angled Eyeliner brush to line my eyes with cream eyeliner. (Any Color) 

I use the black smudge brushes to smudge & lightly blend my eyeliner & eyeshadows. 

I use the brown Eco Tool angled brush to apply my eyeshadows on my lids & brow bone. 

I hope that was helpful ladies! Thanks for the requests & support! Love you all! :)

Makeup Storage Idea

Cute Storage Idea: I bought this cute organizer at Burke's Outlet for $5.99. I use it to store my large & medium size eyeshadow palettes. I love it & I already need another one! Lol. 

Make-up look for 06.07.14

My look for yesterday's trip to see Thomas the Train with my 3-year old son. 

To achieve this look I used: 

As you can tell I love Rimmel & NYX makeup products. They are the best for my very oily face & medium dark complexion. 

Face: I wash my face first (Always start with a blank & clean canvas) First I apply the Fix & Perfect Primer, Stay Matte   Foundation in True Beige, I put the NYX Orange cream blush on the apples of my cheeks (Apply while smiling). Last I set my face with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Creamy Beige. 

Eyes: I used the red on the far left of the Sex Bomb palette for my crease. (Hard to see because I have hooded Asian eyes) I applied the Orange & Light Brown shimmery eyeshadow from the Maybelline Eye Studio Palette (95 Coral Oasis). The eyeliners I used were the NYX  eyeliners: Milk (Inner Corners) Bronze (Outer Corners) 

Lips: I first applied NYX lipliner pencil in 850 Nectar, put a little bit of lip balm to moisturize my lips (my lips stay dry) then lastly my lipstick was the NYX Matte lipstick MLS 24 Street Cred. 

And Voila after about 30 minutes I was ready! The things we do to be pretty! Lol
