Makeup Organization (My Second Attempt!)

Awhile ago, I did a post on makeup organization back in June. I attempted to organize my makeup-I did organize things into categories, but; it ended up looking even more cluttered than before. This is my second attempt at organizing and I must say, I'm proud of the results. Here is the before and after! *Click the pics to enlarge. *


BEFORE


Things are categorized, but it's still cluttered...



AFTER






My new makeup set up! I love it :-)




My bathroom sink area looks ten times better and I can find things a whole LOT better! I bought a large 3 drawer Sterilite container from Target to store all of my makeup, it cost $13.99... it's one of my better purchases this year.


I organized the first drawer with foundation, powder, concealer, brows and eyelash stuff. The second drawer is full of stray eyeshadow quads and palettes and the third drawer has blushes, mascaras, eyeliners, pigments and eye bases. On top, are my eyeshadow, concealer and blush palettes and the containers on the right contain lipsticks and glosses...the containers on the left contain brushes and lip liners.


Do you have a system for makeup organizing?

Looks good. I like how everything is laid out so you can just pull what you'd need for a job.

Good job with the 2nd attempt. The 1st attempt wasn't a total loss. At least you were able to separate things.

Those sterilite products really come in handy. I have several of them in different sizes. I usually get them around August when they're on sale for all of the college kids. Ha ha! Plus they come in different colors. It seems like you can only find white during the rest of the year. I purchased most of mine from Wal-Mart, but I did get a few of them from Target. I've also found cute ones in the children's furniture section of Target and Walmart.

For my palettes, I've found that using DVD towers has worked great for organization. :-)

Thanks, LeRenda... yeah, the 1st attempt was a mess.

The dvd tower is a good idea! I would love to see pics of your makeup collection :-)

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
