Make-Up Organisation

I am one of those girls that loves to wear a bit of make up everyday.. my routine in the morning usually goes something like this, get up, have a shower, get dress, make a coffee and walk towards my vanity to apply a bit of make up..nothing too much, just a light foundation ( shhh don't tell anyone but i have some freckles and i am not even a red head :) ) a soft eye shadow, mascara and love lipstick. But my make up system was frustrating me, as i had about four cosmetic bags, one to hold my pencils and mascara, another to hold lipstick and lip gloss, another to hold foundation and mineral powder and yet another for my spare cosmetics. And because i dont have that much room to display my make up, i had to come up with a system that didn't take too much room, something compact to hold my everyday make up and pretty of course. So i spotted this mirrored cosmetic organizer at Store and grab it quick smart.

The cosmetic organizer is made of durable acrylic and its divided by product type. You can find these awesome organisers in most of the big stores, like Howards, Store, Kmart, Target. They come in different sizes and are easy to clean too.

Here's a closer look at the dividers for your lipstick, pencils, mascara, brushes and eye shadow...

All my lipsticks are now display and organise according to brand or colour, pencils and eye shadows are contained in the other compartments.

I only use one or two brushes but for those that have lots more...keep the rest in a pretty cup on your vanity and keep them upright for easy access.

I have added a make up expiration chart...so you know when to toss your make up!

According to that chart i could be tossing some of my make up and beauty products soon! I am pretty sure i have some nail polish from three years ago :)

French Inspiration! My fabulous Armchairs!

Hi Again Everyone I want to share my first purchase that started the transformation of my home to the French look! I came across one day two beautiful dusty pink armchairs and immediately fell in love with them! When i picked them up from the seller and took them home, they stayed in my spare room for a while until i could figured out where to place them and that is how i thought about starting my own French style at home! Start with one item, like i did and slowly fill your home with things that will create the French look right at home.
