Scarves Storage!




Organizing your scarfs can take up a lot of much needed space. The best way for me was to put them on a hanger & easily hang them in my closet. Usually 5-7 scarfs or headbands fit on one hanger which is very surprising. I used two hangers for my scarfs which would take up a drawer in my dresser. Hope you found my organization helpful & you can comment below your organization tips. Thanks for reading :)

Tide Extreme Coupon!



So far I have 11 Tides! I achieved this by frequent trips to target over time. I accumulated 11 and there will be more to come. I have a manufacture tide coupon that is $10 off tide :0 so I usually buy the 60 load of tide at target $12.49 which brings up my bill to only pay $2.50 + tax. You can buy a tide that has more loads but that is the one I usually get. This is the best coupon I have got my hands on! The only down side is that you can only use one coupon per person & transaction. I usually have a couple of coupons in my purse so whenever I make a trip to target I get a tide and bring my family members along to buy some for me as well with coupons. This coupon expires on Dec 2011 so if you like to get your hands on this coupon as well email me & I will gladly be happy to be a part of saving you some $

    Swapmeet Haul!







    I Went to the swapmeet this weekend with one of my best friends and heres the jewelry i picked up :)
    Most of the jewelry pieces are from forever 21! The awesome part is that we got the jewelry way cheaper than the store and had to pay no tax. This is a good deal and its the same as buying at the store but getting good deals and discounts if you buy multiple jewelry in the same stand. Awesome buy and good day at the swapmeet. This is my new spot for jewelry on a monthly basis.

    Burlington Haul!


    Love my new heels i picked up at Burlington Coat Factory. I never really looked at this store for heels but i went with my mom to the mall and parked by this store to cut through the mall and passed by the shoe department. I could not believe that they had a very good selection for heels. From: colors, styles, and brands. I was looking for summer heel pumps in these exact colors: nude, salmon color, and turquoise. I was having trouble finding these color in the heel style i wanted. Once i found them i had to get all three of them and at 19.99 each i had to take them! Good deal in my book. This store will be one of my stops when looking for heels in the future.

    Urban Decay Setting Spray


    I use this product everyday and its one of my favorite products to use. It sets your make up to look fresh all day and locks in your makeup. My make up stays on all day and does not smudge or run down at all. Before i started using this product my make up would be gone by the end of the day and would look like a hot mess! This setting spray helps my make up stay on and not fade out. The product is pricey at $30 for the 4 0z but they do have a travel size to try and it is $11 and it is a good way to try out the product without having to spend a lot of money and see if it works for you. This product works very well for me and it is my go to and use it daily.

    The Clear Cube






















    One on the many must haves & Internet sensations for make up storage is the clear cube. It Has been seen used by the Kardashians to store their make up and it is awesome because it has a lot of compartments, very sturdy, and makes everything visible for easy accessibility to your makeup. The only down side is the price: $300 i know very pricey but well worth the money. I eventually want to get one but for now that is too much money to be spend on for a storage unit for makeup.



    MUJI clear acrylic storage


    A close alternative to the cube is this acrylic storage unit which is way cheaper. The cons: smaller, not as sturdy, and the compartment are not as deep as in the clear cube. The pros: very affordable, always out of stock, and takes a week to receive. This is a good way to start off with to store your makeup if you cannot afford the clear cube. The down side is that this particular storage unit is always sold out! I had to wait three months to order mine because they sale out fast! I ordered two (5 compartment) acrylic storage for $23 each. I just ordered mine a couple of days ago and have been waiting months for the website to have them back in stock. The same day that the website re stocked on this item, it sold out.  Im excited to receive this product and will give a review.

    The Container Store!

    The Container store is awesome for organizing anything! it is an awesome website and wish they had a store close by but they dont :(
    Their prices are not bad at all and they sometimes have sales so that is a plus. Here are some things i plan to order in the future. There have plenty of product, so feel free to check out their website.  http://www.containerstore.com/
    24-Lipstick Acrylic Organizer

    This is a great way to organize your lipsticks and easier to find the lipstick you are looking for instead of having them stored in a box.
    





     3-Drawer Box




    This clear container is good to store your make up or other things like cotton balls , Q tips and things of that nature because its not too big to store alot of make up.



    Tubo Countertop Organizer

    This is another way to store your makeup brushes without having to buy any beads.

    Mac Lipsticks

     These lipsticks are my favorite for this summer.

    left MAC Shade: Pervette and right MAC Shade: Honey Love
    Left to right
    MAC Pro Longwear  shade: Overtime. Love this color becuase its a baby soft pink color and its not too bold.
    MAC Sheen Supreme Shade: Gotta Dash!. This lipstick is a coral color and its more creamy with a lip gloss finish and very pigmented :)
    MAC Pro Longwear Shade: Good To Go. This is a bold redish/orange cold and very bold and bright which is perfect for the summer!
    MAC Pro Longwear Shade: Unlimited. This color is on the darker side compared to the other lipsticks but very pretty. Its a pinkish/plum color that is very weareble because its not a dark color.

    Eyebrows...


    MAC Eyebrows                                          $15   Shade: Lingering
    SUMITA by Ziba Beauty Brow Pencil      $11    Shade: Chai
    MAYBELLINE Define-A-Brow                         $6.49    Shade: Light Brown 


    MAC:
    These are three eyebrow pencils i use on a weekly basis. I first started of with  the MAC pencil and really loved it but after using it on a daily basis, finished the pencil maybe about two weeks, which is not good because at $15 it gets pricey. I wanted to find something similar to my MAC pencil that was less money and more product.

    SUMITA:
    So i was introduced to the SUMITA brow pencil by Ziba by one of my best friends (DIONE <3) and decided to try it. The pencil was only $11 and they had a sale (buy two get one free). That sale was too good to pass along so i had to give it a try, and the cashier let me know i can exchange the product for something else if i did not like any of the products i bought. I ended up getting 3 products for $23 which is a steal in my book :) The things i bought was the brow pencil, clear wax pencil, and the brow duo in auburn. This would be my DUPE to MAC brow pencil in color: Lingering. This brow pecil has more product for the $ and its softer than MAC's brow pencil and a little bit more wax in it which helps keep your brows in place!

    MAYBELLINE:
    This is another product i found on you tube that many people are using. This product is very affordable and creamy like consistency. It is a tiny bit darker shade than MAC but i do use because its very similar and for the price, you cannot go wrong! I went to ULTA (my Favorite Store!) because i wanted to try this product and had a $3.50 off coupon when you spend $10 and wanted to use it. I was in luck because ULTA had a sale for MAYBELLINE products (buy two get on free). I love sales and was so happy that i got 3 brow pencils for only $11 (with the sale and using my coupon). This pencil is very similar in the way its made compared to MAC and it will be my run to product when i run out of my other two pencils.

    This is my make station where i do my make up on a daily basis :)














    Mattifying Moisturizer


    FORMULA 10.0.6 

    Seriously Shine Free Mattifying Oil Free Moisturizer



    This is my go to moisturizer for the summer. I recently found out about it through you tube and saw good reviews about it and decided to try it out for myself. I love this product because it does not have any smell to it, its creamy and not thick, and its goes on clear. It works well by absorbing extra oil and not adding any more oil to your face. I use this product daily and will keep on using it. This product can only be found online through their website or ULTA stores. It is very affordable for $6.99 but sometimes Ulta has a buy one get one free sale or you can get a coupon $3.50 off when you spend $10. So overall good product, very affordable, and you can save $ by sales! awesome!

    Beauty Blender  <3


    After using this product for 3 days i love, love, love this product for liquid foundation. The foundation goes on very creamy and very easy to use. A trick you do is wet the sponge and remove the excess water until its damp and apply your foundation by boucing and rolling the beauty blender on your face. It is soo soft! and i will now be using this instead of my MAC 187 Brush :( but will use it for blush instead.

    Dry Shampoo

    TRESEMME FRESH START   VS.   VICTORIA SECRET SO SEXY

    
    There is a lot of dry shampoo's out there but so far i have tried these two brands. They are both affordable and good amount of product for what you pay for compared to other dry shampoos that are more pricey and give you less product.

    Tresemme   $5

    Tresemme was the first dry shampoo i bought and was so excited that this brand was coming out with a dry shampoo and could not wait to get my hands on this product. Overall it did not meet my expectations and i was totally disappointed with this product. The only good thing i can say is that its smell is refreshing and makes your hair smell good. The product has clay in the ingredient, which is suppose to absorb the oil in your hair, but it leaves your hair white. In order to remove the white clay from my hair i had to keep brushing my hair, over and over again to remove the residue of the clay. After so much brushing, it still had some white powder left over. At this point i was annoyed with this product. First of all it took forever to brush my hair to try and remove the clay. After continuous brushing my hair did not feel clean, just felt very dry and lousy. It was almost better to use baby powder because it was the same problem as  tresemme (the reason i wanted to try a dry shampoo) and it is a very cheap alternative. This product is time consuming and when you are on the go, it does not help at all, so my experience with this product was not good and til this day is under my bathroom sink un used.

    VICTORIA SECRET:    $12  
    * sometimes have a sale 3 for $24! & u can also choose from diff shampoo & conditioner products!

    I never knew that Victoria secret had a dry shampoo until i went to the mall and accidentally came across it after browsing around the store. I was skeptical at first to try another dry shampoo and have to deal with the same problem as the tresemme. So i decided to try it out because they are normally $12 each but the store had a sale: 3 items for $24. I thought this  was a good deal and i could always return the product if i did not end up liking it. The sale convinced me and was awesome because you can choose from a dry shampoo, Reg shampoo or conditioner and you can mix-n-match :) I bought so sexy shampoo for colored hair and so sexy conditioner for colored hair and the dry shampoo shown above (they have shampoo's and conditioners for diff. hair types). When i tried this product for the first time i LOVEd it. I sprayed it on my roots and was extremely surprised that no white residue was left on my hair or anything for that matter. The spray went on clear and absorb the oil and makes your hair smell so good like the so sexy perfume. Also, you do not have to keep brushing your hair to remove any residue. I Def. recommend this product and i use this product on a weekly basis and could not live without it! THE BEST!!!!!

    Thanks For Reading <3
