Makeup Kit Revamping!!! Part II (Before & After) Pic Heavy

In my last post I said that I was going to see if I could fit all of my makeup, tools and supplies into my Zuca backpack. There are lots of pics, I tried to create a collage for the pics but it wasn't working. Here are the results.

Before

These are the bags I was using before as my kit

This is where most of my makeup was stored, in this train case.

I had my brush belt, palettes, brush cleaner and misc items in my rolling case.

Beside the gray pouch are my sponges, disposable tools, mixing palette, lip rouge kits, removers and alcohol.

This gray pouch holds my foundations, concealers, face primers, powders, BB creams & tinted moisturizers.

Brush belt, lip sticks, glosses, liners, pigments, glitters, cleaners, lashes and setting spray in this pile.

After

Everything fit! Yay!!!

In my right side pocket, I have my wipes, setting spray and face primers.

The inside holds everything so neatly. All of my disposable supplies and tools are in the left pockets.

I put all of my eye shadow palettes, pigments and glitter in this plastic container.

I put all of my lip makeup and supplies in one of the Zuca pouches.

In the other pouch, I put all of my eye makeup like my:
removers, lashes, brow sets, eye liners, bases, mascara and etc.

Foundations, powders, concealers, BB creams and etc in this pouch.

My brush belt and mirror both fit securely on top of the pouches in the Zuca.

That's it! I was surprised that I fit all of my things into that Zuca backpack, it really has a lot of space. I love how everything fits neatly inside. I think I'm going to replace the gray pouch and the plastic pouch with two of the Zuca pouches because both of those pouches are larger than the utility pouches and they take up more space than needed.

Carrying one bag instead of two is so much more effective and easier on me. My makeup train case weighed 22 lbs alone and now with just the one Zuca it weighs only 17 lbs...it helps to make my job much easier as a makeup artist.

How I Refurbished my Louis Vuitton Speedy...

I bought an authentic preloved Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy bag a few months back. While I was so excited to finally get the bag and wear it, I realized (at that time of buying and when I received it) that the bag had some wear on it that could use some fixing up. After searching online, I found a blogger, Lollipuff , who posted an article on how to refurbish LV bags. Based on the recommendations in the post, I used the following products: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Blue Magic Metal Polish cream (tube) and Cadillac Boot and Shine leather conditioner. I also used laundry detergent and baby wipes. All of the products used can be used on any bag to spruce it up. Read on for the deets, to see how you can spruce up your handbag! Before At first glance, the bag had some sheen on the exterior. Most of the brass fixtures had green tarnishing (which happens with aging of brass). The leather handles were dull. The bag had lost some of its shape. The inside was the kicker! The red interi

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face.

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
