Makeup Storage

Perusing Pinterest has made me obsessesd with organization, particulary makeup organization. Once I have my mind set on something I obsess about it until I do it.

My first project was makeup brush storage. I was inspired by these Pinterest projects: Pin 1 and Pin 2. It only cost me $3 to create; I bought two glass candle holders from the dollar store and a bag of smooth rocks and below is the finished product!

Nailtini - Bloody Mary

I received this full size bottle of Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer in Bloody Mary in my January 2013 ipsy Glam Bag. The nail polish has a great texture and I really love the color! All of the polishes are named after different drinks. Although they are pricey, I wouldn't mind buying more from this brand.  Here is their website: http://www.tinibeauty.com.

Discount Shopping Sites for Beauty Items

There are a ton of designer discount sites popping up these days. They offer you authentic designer items at a discounted price. Often they are things that are out of season, being discontinued, etc. These sites feature all types of items including clothing, bags, shoes, household items, beauty products, etc. Here is a list of the some of the sites that I peruse and a few pics of items that I have bought from them.

Color Club - Wild Cactus

I received this green nail polish by Color Club in my February Birchbox. It is a part of their fiesta collection and the color is called Wild Cactus. It is a very rich, pretty color however it is not something that I would wear to work. I decided to snap a picture before removing it for the work week!

Beauty Subscription Services

Beauty subscriptions services are very popular right now; there are so many to choose from! I currently only subscribe to two; Birchbox and ipsy. I began with Birchbox a few years ago and fell in love. It has some benefits over other subscription services; if you review items or refer friends you can get points that can be used toward a full size item purchase. I have gotten many items for free this way!
