How to Organize: Your Make-Up

Make up is important to every girl and women. No matter if you are a tom-boy or girly girl, you use some type of make-up. I always make sure my make-up is organized and cleaned. Germs are found everywhere and are easily transmitted from your cosmetic bag or drawer, to your brushes and eventually your face. One way to prevent the spread of germs is to wash your brushes with warm water and soap. It only takes a few minutes and it is better in the long run.

One of the best things about organizing your makeup is that you can work with what you have. You can organize it in several small make up bags if you are always on the go, in a drawer in your bathroom, or you can buy cosmetic organizers. I am a college student so for most the year I’m in two places. I have used the cosmetic organizers for a few years now and I’m a huge fan! They are small and compact so I can use them in my dorm room and they don’t take up a lot of space. I also use them at home in my bedroom to keep my make-up organized. I got mine from Marshalls for around $20.00. I have been using the same one for a few years and I have no complaints.  It cleans easy and it is clear so it is seen through. Marshalls also has similar ones,  there are other styles that are bigger and smaller. They are always bringing in new types and styles, so there is something for everyone.  I like to see my make-up and brushes laid out and in front of me where they are easily accessible.

Here’s the front view of my make-up organizer.

Here’s the view from above.

Here’s a quick look in my make-up organizers. I have all my brushes organized in the back by size and width. In front of my brushes, I have my mascara, and eyebrow tools.  Along the one side I have all my nail polish, I like to have it visible, in case I need to do a color change for an outfit. Along the opposite side, I have my blush and a few eye shadow palates. I also have my lipsticks and concealers as well. In the center I have my foundation, sponges, and perfume that I wear every day. I have a pretty basic make-up routine that I will share later, but for now here is how I keep all my cosmetics organized and cleaned. Till next time… xoxo

Look of the Day #1

Look of the Day (LOTD) #1

Once a week, I will post one of my favorite outfits of the week, along with the accessories and where to wear it. As a college student, I have found that you do not have to wear sweat pants and a hoodie every day to class. You can dress cute and comfortable and it still be affordable.

This is one of my favorite dresses. I have it both in gray and burgundy. I got it from Old Navy along with the sandals in the early spring. The necklace is from Francesca’s, which is one of my favorite stores. The dress is lightweight and comfortable. I have worn this dress in both colors on multiple occasions. I wore it in burgundy to class once for a presentation and added a blazer to dress it up.   I have also worn it out  to dinner with friends.

I love finding clothes that can be mixed and matched and worn it with different outfits for separate occasions.   You can dress it up with heels and tights in the winter and add a blazer to it. In the spring and summer, you can dress it down with a pair of ballet flats or sandals.

This week I decided to wear it for a day at work. I work in an office so I must dress professional. I paired this dress with gray sandals, a long silver necklace, and silver earrings to dress it up a bit. It was perfect for a spring day. Happy Thursday!!
