My Nail Polish and Make-up Collection

Today I am sharing my nail polish and make-up collection.  I am not trying to show off in any way or claiming I have the “best” or “biggest” collection of cosmetics or lacquer.  This is merely for fun and I am proud of what I own.  Honestly, I don't think I own that much.  Plus, this is my 100^th blog post so why not post something fun and worth looking at? ;)

So lets start with my makeup.  I went to Big Lots and purchased a plastic seven drawer unit to organize everything efficiently.

Lipsticks

Lip glosses, lip stains and lip liners

 Mascaras, gel and liquid liner, lashes, primers and go to items

Foundation, powder, highlights and blushes

Nail wheels, nail book and Color Club Foiled 

Cream shadows and pencils

(colored shadow bases)

Eye shadow singles, duos, trios, quads, ect.

In a separate plastic three drawer unit in my closet I keep my palettes.

UD Naked, Sephora Blockbuster 2010 and 2012 versions, Inglot and Ed Hardy

For my eyeliners, I keep them in a metal magnetic pencil holder.  The shelf in my closet in made out of metal so its hung up there.  I have a lot of eyeliner pencils ranging in all colors of the rainbow.  

My brushes to the left are my eye brushes and are stored in an Estee Lauder make-up brush travel container.  The brushes on the right are my face brushes and those are stored in an Ed Hardy pop can holder.

OK, now for my nail polish.  Nothing brings me more joy than nail polish.  I am always up for a conversation about nail polish; Everyday I search the net for latest updates and releases, so I am aware of who is releasing what collection.  I also like going out to multiple stores to find certain colors and deals.  My collection is some what organized by brand.  As long as every bottle is accounted for, and I know where the bottle is, finding a certain one isn't extremely hard.  Since I buy polish often, I out grew the organization, which resulted, having me mixing brands.

I store everything in perfume boxes, white plastic baskets and shoe boxes in my closet.

Maybelline

Icing and Claire's

Soft Pink Cheetah Print Nails

This is an easy quick nail design!  With all the color combinations, cheetah print is by far the easiest print to recreate.  Plus, it is my favorite print.  I don't want to hear excuses that you can't recreate it because I know you can.  Instead of using acrylic paint for the spots use nail polish.  For outlining the spots, I used a toothpick!!  So no need for brushes or paint.  Work with what you got and have fun ;)

2014 | What's Up With Them Lips

Hello and Happy late New Year!  I am very excited to say that I have many plans for this year!  I have not been posting as much, but this year I really want to post post post about everything!!  I have so much to offer and want to share that with you.  I have a new camera now, so hopefully when I take photos they come out as accurate as possible.  Also I want to get into making videos. ;) 

Now let me explain the picture.  Yes, that is my mouth.  No, that isn't drugs.  That's a mint LOL.  I did it for fun.  It looks pretty cool.  I've always been so interested in lips and lip art as I call it.

Lipstick:
NYX Narcissus
