2 Tips on how to organize your makeup for the holidays & save space!


Problem #1: Too many lipsticks? Or forget what lipsticks you have? Or even what they look like?

I have lipsticks that I do not use too often, or I forget what the colors actually look like, or I misplace one here under the bed, 1 in the backpack,etc.. I'd like to have all of them in 1 place! Well actually, I'd like to be reminded of what colors I have...

 

Tip #1:  Take out your lipsticks from their tubes and put them into these weekly medicine cubes.  I love this trick! Now I can see all the colors that I have, I wont have to worry about missing lipsticks, and seeing the colors make me want to wear them all the time! * (Remember to use a permanent marker to write the name of the brand and color down in case you want to purchase them in the future)



Problem #2: Too much makeup, yet not enough space?

 For the crazy makeup gurus out there, mine is nothing to theirs- but I'd like to save some space to be able to organize so that all my main products I use everyday can be in 1 small bag. It wastes a lot of time trying to dig through here to get this and that.


Tip #2 Take what you use often & create mini-mes! (This is a great tip for holiday traveling also!)
 
My L'oreal Paris foundation &  Bare Essentials Prime Time Primer & their minis (I put these into jar because if they are in the cubes, they may be too liquidated and may fall out through the tiny cracks)


My Missha BB Cream in #23, CoverGirl Whipped cream foundation (I use this as my eye primer and it works great), Maybelline Matte Mousse cream blush, and lastly, my Smashbox Cream to Powder foundation ( I use this as my bronzer/contouring).


Laura Mercier blush & Laura Gellar Spackle under make-up primer

 
Victoria's Secret cream eyeshadow (I took a picture because it looks like a cute pretzel in the cube) *Bich Ngoc, remember you and Vu gave me this w/the whole Victoria's Secret bag 1.5 years ago? =)
This Physician's Formula bronzer works rather well and adds a nice healthy light shimmery glow ( should I break a chunk of this?) =)



End products =)


I use this to store some of my brushes and eyeliners, my favorite lipstick by Elizabeth Arden because I couldn't bear to take it out of its tube, laura mercier blush & Laura Gellar primer minis





Last, but not least, I wanted to share with you guys my first ever powder compact my mom had purchased for me when I was in high school, close to 8 years now =) SC, made in Japan. It smells really good but I only used it 5 times max and it cost $40 back in the day! I will keep this forever as a present from my mom since she rarely purchases makeup for me

Do you have any makeup products that your parents bought you???

    OMG I don't remember giving that to you! Was it a birthday present? Are you sure it was from vu and me? haha I really don't remember but it is definetly something I would give though, I love giving away victoria secret makeup and body goodies.
    Have you ever checked how long make-up lasts? You know like mascara you're not supposed to keep over 6 months. Maybe you should do a post about it. Do you know how long it is for your powder?

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...
