MAKEUP STORAGE IDEA

I always look at boxes, baskets, or anything that could become a storage box.  It's always hard to stay neat and organized when it comes to the makeup and bathroom products.  What I hate more, is having a whole bunch of stuff on top of my vanity.  So, I found this beautiful box/basket for $10 at Ross. 

I love that it has a lid too.  This what I did with it.

I took all the things I use on a daily basis and put it inside.  I have Huggies Natural wipes that I use to wipe off makeup, wipe my vanity, or even spot clean my brushes.  They are hypoallergenic and have aloe and vitamin E in them.  Then I have my foundation, concealer, bronzer, foundation brush, eye/crease brush, and my 2 favorite Mac palettes.  For my everyday routine this is perfect.  I'm not looking through my drawers and pulling stuff I don't need out, making more of a mess.

I think what I like more, is it has cut down on the time it takes me to get ready.  Everything is right there and it looks neat.

TRAVEL BAG TIPS/IDEAS

I bought some sheets the other day and they came in a plastic case with a zipper on top.  Don't throw out these cases.  They are perfect for travel.  it makes a perfect travel bag not just for makeup.

This is a couple of I packed for a overnight trip.  I loved it because I could see what I was looking for and I got tons of room left over.  I could have put in my brush roll too.  

One thing I hate is when my bras and undies go into the suitcase and they end up all over.  I packed them all in this one.  I feel like it's much cleaner too.

In the last one, I put all the shampoos, body sprays and anything that will cause a big mess in. It's so easy to clean up, just wipe with a damp cloth.

I think this these are great to keep everything neat, clean, and organized.  Your clothes and shoes are protected from anything spilling or breaking.  I need to find a smaller one for my makeup now.

What do you pack your makeup in when traveling? Do you have any travel tips? 

LIQUID FOUNDATION PUMPS & BOTTLES

I was looking for some foundation pumps or ideas for my liquid  foundations.  I found this on Youtube.

1 oz Airless Bottles w/pumps

Where to buy on eBay.
$3.99 + $5 shipping

Today I spilled my foundation on my shirt and carpet.  I think all liquids should come with pumps.  Just for sanitary reasons, if nothing else.

Do you have any pump or liquid foundation pump or bottle dispenser tips/tricks?

BEAUTY TIP FOR BREAKOUTS

A friend of mine went to the dermatologists & he noticed she had a breakout on her shoulders. He didn't know what it was from, but he did give her a suggestion, antibacterial bar soap to shower with. He said that breakouts have bacteria & this may just calm the ones on her shoulders. It worked for her.

So when i just went to get my hair done I bought new shampoo & it started breaking me out on my shoulders & upper back. I bought this Safeguard because it had no perfumes in it. It was actually hard to find one that said antibacterial & no scent. I have to say it has helped. The redness went down & so did the bumps. I haven't tried it on my face though. I just got a couple of spots under my chin, so I may have to.

( I am not a DR., this is just what worked for me. Try at your own risk)
