Spring has finally arrived! That also means its time for spring cleaning. One of the many organization projects I have on my list is to get my makeup under control. I do not wear much makeup. Mostly eye makeup and lipstick/gloss. Somehow my "minimal" approach to makeup still dominated my bathroom. I decided it was time to purge. I got rid of a lot of shadows and liners that are old and I'll probably never wear again. I sorted my makeup into categories of everyday wear and special occasion wear. The special occasion (a.k.a. makeup in crazy colors that I can only pull off at night, on the town with the girls) was neatly put away in a case in the closet. Then I was left with my everyday wear. It was not enough to make it worthwhile to put in a big bulk case, but not small enough to just leave out. I decided to try magnets!
I glued magnets to the backs of all of my shadows and....
Viola! Now all my everyday shadows are on the inside of my medicine cabinet! Off the counter, out of the way. I love it and so does my boyfriend who is cursed to a life of sharing a bathroom with a girl.
Now there was of course the pesky question of what to do with my brushes, liners and mascara. So I headed over to Michael's with my handy 40% off coupon and picked up a square vase. Then I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a 99 cent bag of split peas....
Taaaa Daaa!! Organized brushes and liners! Now everything is in plain view...no more digging around in my bottomless pit of a makeup bag.
It all looks so nice and neat that even my boyfriend thought makeup organization was cool.
GENIUS!
