Beauty Storage

Hello everyone! When I heard about the Store Your Stash challenge by MakeSpace, a self-storage company, I had to share my makeup storage with you so that is what I will be doing today.  A lot of my makeup is stored in things that are actually not meant for makeup . I like to re-use boxes and such that were actually for something else. You will see what I am talking about below :)

A lot of my lip products are stored in these little boxes. These are actually boxes from q-tips. I though the boxes were so cute and when I used up the q-tips I did not want to throw them away. I keep these boxes in a cabinet with all of my other makeup but this just keeps my lip products neat and organized.

My everyday brushes are stored in a glass cup. The cup used to be a candle but when I burned the candle I cleaned the cup and it was perfect for the brushes I use everyday.  It keeps them all together and they are so easy for me to reach. I just keep the cup next to the mirror where I do my makeup.

The last piece of makeup storage that I will show you is actually my favorite. My everyday makeup is very simple and quick so all the products I use on a daily basis are kept in one spot. I store them all in a monthly beauty box that I got. I just though the box was perfect for putting makeup in it.

 

All the rest of my makeup that I do not use daily like eyeshadow pallettes, eyeliner, lashes, other blushes and mascaras are stored in a cabinet and I know where everything is.

What do you think of my storage ideas? How do you keep your makeup organized??

Thank you all so much for reading!!

My 2015 Beauty Favorites

Hello everyone! I am probably the last person to write about 2015 favorites but I thought it was appropriate cuz it is still January haha. Most of the products that I will mention I have already mentioned in my blog before but they just need another shout out!

Lets start off with foundation. I have mentioned the Revlon Colorstay so many times but it is my go to foundation. I have tryed out a few others throughout the year and I always just go back to Colorstay. I am on the look out for a new foundation since I have been using this one for about three years and it is time for a change. I love the coverage but the only problem I have with it is the color. I can never find a perfect color for myself and I always look too pink. Do any of you know which shade is light and a bit more warm and yellow toned?

The next products I want to mention are blushes. I have three blushes that I have used constantly last year. The first one is E831E Pearlescent Pink by Wet n Wild. This was my go to summer blush and I literally used it every day of the summer. The pigmentation is awesome and as you can see I hit pan on mine.

The next two are from my Makeup Revolution ultra blush palette. I have the color Sugar and Spice and the first two blushes in the palette  I have been using since fall and I still do on a daily basis. As you can see I also hit pan on one of them and the palette is pretty beat up.

There is only one makeup tool that I want to mention and that is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I bought this sponge last spring and I have been using it every day since. It was my favorite way to apply my Colorstay foundation. The only thing I don´t like is that it is a pain to clean and I can never get it looking really clean,  With that being said..ignore its dirtyness in the picture. 

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 eyeshadow palette was my go to palette. The colors are a dupe for the UD naked 3 palette. These are not the best quality eyeshadows but for my every day needs they work perfectly fine. The colors are beautiful and the price is amazing. I would suggest an eyeshadow primer with these. As you can see in the picture below I have really used mine a lot!

I have tryed a couple of different eyelashes from the drugstore and they just did not work out for me. They were too heavy and uncomfortable on my eyes. Finally I found a store that sells Ardell eyelashes and I was so excited because everyone raves about them. I bought the style 120 Demi black and I was so pleasantly surprised when I put them on. They were so light and comfortable. I didn´t feel them on my eyes at all.

Now lets talk about some lip products. I am a huge Wet n Wild fan and their Megalast lipsticks are AMAZING!!! I have so many colors and I absolutely love them. My most worn are definitely Bare it all, Sugar Plum Fairy and Cherry Bomb. Also Stoplight Red is the perfect red for me.

Another lip product that I definitely have to mention is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet. If I am not wearing a WnW lipstick then I am definitely weaing this, I can´t say enough good things about this product. It is so comfortable on the lips and lasts a really long time. I have mine in the color Nude-ist and I really want to pick up more shades. 

While we are talking about lips I just want to mention my favorite lip balm. It is the Labello lip butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. I have gone through a couple of these and I use it every morning when I wash my face and every night before going to sleep. It smells really good and it protects my lips very well.

It was so hard for me to narrow down my nailpolishes to a top 5 because there are so many colors that I love. So my favorites in a random order are:

- Bourjois Turquoise block

- Wet n Wild Wear Skinny Jeans (limited edition)

- Ados cosmetics 551

- Catrice (S)wimbledon

- Essence Mandarine Bay

As you can see all the colors are kind of springy but those are just the types of colors that I like to wear year round.

I don´t like to wash my hair often because it is long and curly..and a pain in the butt to style. Dry shampoo is a must have for me because it helps keep my hair clean looking between washes. Batiste dry shampoo is my favorite and I have mentioned it in previous posts. I absolutely love it and it works so well for me.

Last but not least I want to mention the Victoria´s Secret fragrance mist in Amber Romance. I have worn this all summer because it is light and it smells so good!! 

Those would be my favorite products of 2015. As you can see I did not have a favorite mascara or lipgloss. I have tryed a lot but there was nothing that just stood out to me. 

Thank you all so much for reading!!

Makeup Revolution

Hello everyone!! Two days ago I finally decided to make a Makeup Revolution order and today it came in. I was sooo happy when I saw the mail man . I didn´t order too many things and a couple, like the Iconic 3 palette, that I wanted were out of stock. I am so excited to finally try this fairly new brand.

I ordered my stuff from a website called Pink Panda but I am not sure if they ship only in Croatia. In any case if you are interested in any of these products you can find them on the Makeup Revolution website .

My order came in this white envelope with a Pink Panda sticker and all the items were wraped in bubble wrap. Nothing was broken or damaged which makes me even happier .

- Ultra Blush & Contour Palette- Sugar and Spice : 6 pounds here or here 

I believe this palette is one of their newer releases. I am so excited to try this. All the colors look beautiful, and how amazing is that highlighter?

- Iconic 1 eyeshadow palette : 4 pounds here or here 

They say that this is a dupe for the UD Naked 1 palette but I don´t own any of those so I can´t compare. The colors are beautiful and wearable. I can´t wait to see what looks I can create with these shades.

- Bronzer Medium Matte : 2 pounds here or here 

I was in need of a new bronzer and this one is so affordable and I love the fact that it is matte. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open it haha! :)

- Salvation Intense Lip Lacquer - Gave You All My Love : 3 pounds here or here 

I love these types of bright barbie pink lip colors especially for this time of year. I definitely want to pick up more colors and some Velvet Matte lip lacquers.

- Amazing Sheer Lip Gloss - Not Naive : 1 pound here or here

Last but not least I got this lip gloss for free with my order because I had a code for a gift with purchase. It is always exciting to get free stuff!

That is my mini Makeup Revolution haul. This line is so affordable and so far I have only heard good things about their products. I can´t wait to test all these out and order some more.

Have any of you ladies tryed Makeup Revolution products? What do you think and which is your favorite?
