Makeup Organizing and Storage

Yesterday I decided it was high time I organized, sorted and purged some of my makeup.

I may or may not need makeup hoarders anonymous!

This little gem holds all of my makeup. It was my husbands grandmothers and I believe it was actually her mothers as well so its pretty old and I absolutely adore it.

I used to have all my makeup under my sink and then I had it in a silver makeup train case as I got more palettes but when we finally brought this home from being at my brother-n-laws I was beyond happy cause I finally had a place to get ready and that was designated for my makeup.

On top I have a bunch of little storage books from Michaels that holds all my glosses, lip liners and chapsticks/lip balms. I have my glosses separated by season. Cause I am OCD like that.

Then I have a cute little cheetah print bucket that holds my brushes and a cute little wooden 4 drawer piece I got a Kirklands that holds my lipsticks.

Top Drawers

The first drawer hold all my powders, concealers, primers, eyeliners, mascaras, brow stuff, sharpeners, and tweezers. They are all in a little straw drawer divider that I have had forever.

The other drawer holds all my palettes and the only divider in that drawer is a short metal file holder I got at Target for the bigger ones.

Bottom Drawers

The first drawer holds pigments, foundations, cream shadows, a little hair donut I use with my eye brushes to transition to different colors and liquid blushes. There is also some random stuff in here and samples from Sephora and Ulta. All the storage things I got from Target dollar spot or Michaels.

**Hair donut trick I learned from Coffee Break With Dani.**

The other drawer hold my blushes, bronzers and some single shadows. Oh and two more palettes LOL! I got the cute boxes from Michaels and the case is from a benefit gift with purchase.

This is next product is in that drawer as well & is my favorite palette. Can you guess why… I absolutely love the packaging of this Urban Decay book of shadows and it has some pretty awesome eyeshadows in it as well.

My side table was actually built by my grandfather and holds my mirror, a blush palette I got at Christmas from benefit and a couple more storage boxes I got a Michaels.

I have my bare minerals in one of the boxes and some round concealers and eye shadows that would fit in there. Then in the other box I have all my backup mascaras, brow pencils and liquid eye liners. Note to self I have enough mascara!!

So in the end I put a couple items to the side that I don’t give enough love or that did not work for me but might work for someone else.

They will find a home with a family member. I think through out the week more might be added to this bag but I was to pooped from sorting and organizing that this was as far as I got.

I blame all my purchases on Kandee Johnson, Xsparkage, YWP, Beauty Broadcast, Sam Schuerman, etc…..  YouTube!!

Happy Monday

**I never buy anything full price. I either have a coupon/discount, go on deal days, or when they are having major sales. Reward Bucks & Kohl’s cash also help. Some of the items were also sent to me  by Bzz agent or Influenster or are part of my Ipsy subscription I get monthly**

Guest Bedroom Done

Finally finished the guest bedroom redo.

Tilda thinks her new bed is the best thing ever!

I am so glad it is finally done. I still have a couple things I need to organize in there but they are small things that I am not stressing about.

Weekend Wrap-up Pet Edition

Weekend Wrap-up Pet Edition

A clean Matt equaled a very happy Matt on Friday night.

Because that meant he got to spend the night inside.

Which also meant Matt’s bed came in for a wash and that always makes Ginger happy.

Matt did go out for a bit to help Daddy with yard work Saturday

but he managed to not get to dirty so he could come back in for another slumber party.

Tilda was not thrilled the big black dog was in for the weekend so she stayed in our room most of the time only coming out to sniff him, use the potty and meow at him every now and then.

She was very happy when he went back out to his doggy mansion on Sunday so she could snuggle on the bean bag.

I spent a lot of the weekend cleaning, vacuuming and organizing the guest bedroom some more. The pile of stuff to go through is getting smaller. Woot Woot!!

And since it is Makeup Monday here is a look I did with the Lorac Duchess palette that I showed last week.

Muah  

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Defeated

I started my morning off on the treadmill.

I am hoping doing a little more walking will help my back and my headaches. If I loose a couple pounds that will be a added bonus.

After my little workout I decided to tackle the oil spot in the garage.  My car had a bad leak for a while but we got it fixed for the most part and the rug that was under my car was nasty so I threw it out and googled how to clean up the oil residue underneath it. I put down some litter and a little bit of dry laundry detergent and let it sit while I worked on the guest room some more.

First up moving my white dresser that I have had since I was a teenager from that space in the garage to the hallway. I had to vacuum the heck out of it first.

That thing is a beast. Thank goodness for those furniture mover things.

Next I went and moved all the random stuff that still needed to be organized in front of the closet so I could rearrange furniture.

Ughhhhh I seriously wanted to close the door and call it a day at this point.

But I still had the beast to deal with.

Tilda was a big help not. I got the dresser turned how I wanted it in the room then moved it to the hallway and realized.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

It took a lot of maneuvering to get it into the hallway.

I finally got it where it needed to be and went to move the book shelf and I think the pictures are self explanatory.

It literally went from one shelf falling to the whole thing collapsing in a matter of minutes.

I went and got my ole friend skinny cow and took a deep breath. May have said a few choice words!!

Stacked everything that I had not sorted and closed the door.

DEFEATED

Then I walked back to the garage and decided to punish myself some more.

Swept up the litter/detergent concoction.

Then put some more detergent down and sprayed it with water and scrubbed with a toothbrush because I could not find my scrub brush. Seriously who did I tick off today!!

All clean and with the old rug down from Bub’s room in case we have anymore oil mishaps.

That’s a wrap!!

My body can’t take anymore today.

Where is my Motrin and heating pad.

I hope you had a more relaxing Tuesday.
