FOTD: Everyday Look

Hello everyone!

Last night I took some pictures of my everyday makeup for you guys.

Products Used-
Almay Clear Complexion Concealer in Light
Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller in Sheer Tint
Laura Mercier Oil-Free Supreme Foundation in Warm Ivory (mixed with a bit of Clinique Even Better in Ivory to balance out the undertones- Laura was too pink for me)
ELF High Definition Powder
Physician's Formula Organic Wear Mascara
Maybelline The Mega Plush Mascara
Maybelline Master Precise Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner (upper lashline)
Maybeliine Master Drama Eyeliner in Midnight Master (lower lashline)

Yes, that is my natural lip color- I hate it! Wish they were lighter/more pinky nude. Whatever, I'm not a lipstick girl.

Hope you enjoyed this FOTD!

DIY: Sephora Inspired Makeup Brush Holder

Hello everyone!!

As my collection grows, new organization is needed. I've had to change my organization at least 4 times now! This weekend I decided my little plastic makeup organizer was not enough. My brush section was overflowing! After a little research I decided I would create my own brush holders.
So I made my boyfriend drive me over to Jo-Ann's to pick up some supplies. I had only about 20 bucks for containers, beads/pebbles, and anything else I needed- and it proved to be enough! I picked up 2 $1.99 glass containers perfect for the job. I then grabbed a $5.99 huge bag of  rectangular, plastic white beads for vase filler. After that, though, it felt too plain for me! I needed more decoration- so I headed over to the sticker section and picked up $3.99 black cursive letters and $5.99 pink flower stickers. The stickers ended up being half price, which was perfect as it landed just under $20!
We headed back home to assemble the holders. Check out the final product!





(brushes are a mix of EcoTools, Real Techniques, and Urban Decay)

I am very happy with the outcome! I'd reccomend this project to anyone as it would be cheaper (and more customizable) than buying a finished one.

Have an amazing day!
