We made it!

We made it through the worst winter ever!

I say it’s time to celebrate and have a party!

Let’s get all dolled up and oh wait, where’s that cute peachy pink lip gloss I bought a few months ago? That may be the hardest question to answer right now! If you’re anything like me, you might be a product junkie. This means, when you see new products, pretty packaging., cute colored polish, and things of the like… You. Just. Have. To. Have. It.

Makeup bags are overflowing at this point and trying to find a lip gloss you just bought for instance, can become, shall we say…overwhelming! Here’s an inexpensive way to stay organized (because you need any extra money for more goodies!)

Take a trip to Dollar Tree, Target, Kmart, Walmart, or whatever you have in your area. Head STRAIGHT to the home goods section…seriously, don’t go down the beauty aisles ladies. Next, find your way to the organization area….you know, the section near kitchen items and home improvement. Now you’re need to locate the storage containers. Sterilite & Rubbermaid are awesome and durable brands.

Money Saving Tip: (Dollar stores such as Dollar Tree have similar products for just a dollar…go there and get tons of storage containers… I went to Target because I needed to buy other household essentials.)

For your makeup, purchase a 3-drawer clear unit like this one from Sterilite…

Once you get home, grab all of your products from out of bags or other dark drawers and place EVERYTHING out in the open.

Here’s the fun part: divide your makeup into THREE categories… Eyes-Face-Lips (hence the 3-drawer storage thingy.) The first drawer will be used for your eye makeup, second drawer for face items like foundation, concealer and primer, the last drawer will be for all your lip stuff.

This 3-drawer system is an easy way to remember which drawer holds which products. Everything is stored in order of your facial features and how you use those products…. eyes (top of head) face (middle) and lips (bottom). Of course, you can organize however you want, this is just an easy way for me to remember

And there you have it! Everything is organized and it’s all in one place! This is just a small sample of what you can do with all of your girly things. I placed this on the counter in my master bathroom and it’s so incredibly helpful! Hope this helps out other product junkies.

Now go outside and enjoy the weather!
